The second floor of this facility is located well above the flood elevation (23' off the slab on grade). This particular structure will house a facility that manufacturers/repairs boats. The elevation of the SOG is at 7.5' meaning our structure will be 9'-6" below water when the design flood occurs. The building is located in a V16 zone with a BFE (Base Flood Elevation) = 17'. I have never had to deal with these requirements before and I find them a little confusing. It seemed simple enough at the time until our client informed us that we had to certify that the building was in compliance with ASCE 24 "Flood Resistant Design and Construction".

Meets ASTM C1007 when installed properly in structure Sheet Aluminum: Aluminum Association (AA) 3003-H14 International Building Code (IBC) 2006 - 2021 Temperature Range: Heat Softenable at 1000 Degrees Fahrenheit ![]() Yield Strength: 21 KSI Tensile Strength: 22 KSI Product Category: Nonstructural Area Separation Walls (typically specification section 09 22 16) Holes are 5/32” diameter (0.156” or 4 mm) and placed as shown. Holes are 5/32” diameter (0.156” or 4 mm) and placed as shown in diagrams. Clips are made of construction grade aluminum sheet, with pre-drilled holes in both flanges. Super Stud clips are the most common configuration for Area Separation Wall assemblies. This maintains protection of the adjacent building, no matter which side of the wall is exposed to fire.Īluminum Breakaway Clip Product Description: Clips are designed so that when a fire occurs, the clips on the fire side of the wall will melt, allowing the burned structure to fall away without dragging down the protective area separation wall.
