The design uses the end walls <br />to calculate load resistance and the longitudinal walls for calculating the load required. <br />Each connector has a capacity of 2475 lbs. Both end walls of a 27 11. wide home would <br />have a total of 24 bottom connectors of 2475 lbs. each for a total wind shear resistance of <br />59400 lbs. <br />From those comparisons and to other established wind shear methods, it is evident that <br />when the SF RB54 foundation system is assembled to the manufactures installation <br />instructions, it is more than adequate to resist loads in wind -zones 1,11 and ill. <br />The calculation shows that the SF RB-54 foundation system is more than adequate in <br />wind zones 1, Il and Ill for any configuration of a multi -section HUD home with a <br />vertical exposure 01'20 feet, and lot single section homes up to 14 R. vertical exposure. <br />Seismic <br />As the test report of Umpqua Testing indicates, the pre -cast panel failed at 18,840 lbs. by <br />crumbling in the area immediately adjacent to the wedge, without losing structural <br />integrity to the pre -cast panel wall. Then an additional load of 27,632 lbs. was applied <br />without lost of structural integrity. This was the maximum force the testing device would <br />perform. With the combined test results of compression and wind shear, it is evident that <br />the SF RB-54 meets the requirements of seismic zone I), Ss=1.5 Fa--I.O. R=5 especially <br />in comparison to other previously approved systems. <br />gi iq Control <br />Umpqua Testing Service has been authorized by Cornerstone Foundation System to make <br />random tests of inventoried product and produce a report on the test when needed or <br />requested by an authority having jurisdiction. <br />4242 Silver Falls Ur. \., Silver -ton, OR. 97381 <br />ph # (503) 873-3184 fax 8 (503) 873-3907 <br />pj", k 13,676 <br />
