The next generation ofthe standard, ANSI/SPRI/FM 4435 will also be coveredalong with the GD-1 standard that addresses gutters.The course provides an overview of how to select theproper roof edge system for a building so that it meetscode and stays on the building.Course Description 5. Learning ObjectivesLearning Objective 1: Understand the ANSI/SPRI ES-1 StandardLearning Objective 2: Understand the ANSI/SPRI/FM 4435 ES-1 StandardLearning Objective 3: Understand the GD-1 StandardLearning Objective 4: Specify metal edge systems and gutters that meetcode and stay on their buildings.At the end of the this course, participants will be able to: 6.

Roofing Industry Committee On Weather Issues (RICOWI) 165 inspections wereconducted, including steepslope and low slope roofing 7 teams of investigators toPunta Gorda, FL after Charley 5 teams to the FL/AL borderafter Ivan 23. Key Findings from RICOWI ResearchPublished in October, 2005 Issue of RCI Nearly 95% of roof failureswere caused by poorworkmanship andsubstituted materials 24. Key Findings from RICOWI ResearchPublished in October, 2005 Issue of RCI Cleat gauge was oftenless than recommendedby FM Global andANSI/SPRI ES-1 25. Key Findings from RICOWI ResearchPublished in October, 2005 Issue of RCI Cleat gauge was often lessthan recommended by FMGlobal and ANSI/SPRI ES-1 Failure of roofing systems wasbecause of system failure atthe perimeter The membrane attachment tothe deck cannot resist theloads created when theperimeter securement fails 26. Importance of Perimeter Flashing The integrity of theperimeter flashing is acritical first line ofdefense against rooffailure.- Phil Smith, FM Global 27. Importance of Roof Perimeter During 1992s HurricaneAndrew, it is estimated that75% of all losses were relatedto roof failure A study of 145 FM Globallosses involving built-up (BUR)systems showed 85 losses(59%) occurred because theroof perimeter failed- FM Global Approved ProductNews No. 2, 2005 28.

ANSI/SPRI The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) coordinatesthe development and use of voluntary consensus standards inthe United States SPRI is the recognized technical and statistical authority on theSingle Ply Roofing Industry 39. What is ANSI/SPRI ES-1? First Roof Edge Standard for Low Slope Roofs Reference for those who design, specify, fabricate, or install lowslope roof edges Based upon ASCE 7-02 Minimum Design Loads for Buildings andother Structures Provides a calculation method to determine uplift pressures Prescribes test methods to determine an edge systems resistance towind pressures 40. 1504.5 Edge Securement for Low Slope RoofsLow slope membrane roof systems metal edgesecurement, except gutters, installed in accordance withSection 1507, shall be designed and installed for windloads in accordance with Chapter 16 and tested forresistance in accordance with ANSI/SPRI ES-1, except thebasic wind speed shall be determined from Figure 1609.(Figure 1609 is a reference to the latest ASCE Wind Speed Map 7-02)2003, 2006 and 2009 International BuildingCode Requires ES-1 41.

Safety Factor? ANSI/SPRI ES-1Calculation does not include a safety factor.It is left to the designers discretion to add asafety factor ANSI/SPRI/FM 4435 ES-1The calculation includes a safety factor of 2.0 60.

Test ProtocolsThere are three tests that make up theANSI/SPRI ES-1 Standard:RE-1RE-2RE-3 64. TEST METHOD RE-1Tests Edges ability to restrain membrane pull* Only required for Mechanically attached or Ballasted membrane when there is nopeel stop or first row of fasteners is greater than 12 from the edge 65. TEST METHOD RE-1Sample Size ANSI/SPRI ES-1A minimum 12 length mock-up of the termination system ANSI/SPRI/FM 4435 ES-1A minimum length mock up ofthe termination system so as toinclude a minimum of 3fasteners at standard spacing 66. TEST METHOD RE-1Angle of Load ANSI/SPRI ES-145 degree angle to theroof deck ANSI/SPRI/FM 4435 ES-125 degree angle to theroof deck 67. TEST METHOD RE-1Load Force ANSI/SPRI ES-1100 pounds per LFpass/fail ANSI/SPRI/FM 4435 ES-1Test to Failure 68. TEST METHOD RE-2ANSI/SPRI ES-1 andANSI/SPRI/FM 4435 ES-1 All parts of the testspecimen shall be full sizein all dimensions Length as designed forfield use (8 minimum) 69. ES-1 Test Protocols RE-2 tests the outwardpull for the horizontalface of an edge device 70. TEST METHOD RE-3ANSI/SPRI ES-1 andANSI/SPRI/FM 4435 ES-1 Bi-Directional test forcoping caps -Face andTop loadings appliedsimultaneously Repeated with loads onback and top 71. ES-1 Test Protocols RE-3 tests upwardand outwardsimultaneous pull -the horizontal andvertical flanges of aparapet coping cap 72. Corner Region ANSI/SPRI ES-1 Double Fasteners in the Corner Region ANSI/SPRI/FM 4435 ES-1 Use System Tested to Resist Calculated Loads Fabricate Miters From That System 73. GD-1 Load Calculations Similar to ES-1 Tests similar to ES-1 Static Load Downward Based on Gutter Volume Cycled Load Outward on Face to Failure Cycled Load Upward on Bottom to Failure 74.

Nailer AttachmentIn order for the edge metal to perform as tested the nailer must be properly secured.ANSI/SPRI ES-1 does not include tests for nailersFM Data Sheet 1-49 is a good reference 80. Nailer AttachmentANSI/SPRI/FM 4435 ES-1 includes two loadrequirements for nailer attachment:Pull-outPull through 81. Why use the Standard? When roof edges are designed and tested to resist theanticipated wind forces, you get a better roof Without a performance based test, its difficult compareproducts or defend a specification or detail fromsubstitution Establishes a minimum acceptable criteria for performance It is in code! 82. Why use the Standard? 83. Thank you! 84.
