Both the two-inch and three-inch Guardrail Systems were successfully subjected to In-fill Testing in accordance with the references listed above. Loads were applied over a one square-foot area in the center of the glassed section, centered between the center rail and end rail on the wired side, and also near the center rail on the wired side. Upon completion of the In-Fill Load Test, the Guardrail Systems were visually inspected for any signs of damage and/or degradation resulting from the imposed test environment. No anomalies were noted. Photographs of test specimens and test setup are presented in Attachment A. The Instrumentation Equipment Sheet for the test setup is presented in Attachment B. Flotation Systems provided a List of Materials used in the manufacturing of the Guardrail Systems. This List of Materials is presented in Attachment C. The test results contained herein apply only to the test specimens identified in this report. 5.2 Uniform Load Test The top rail of the Guardrail System (Guard and Handrail) shall be subjected to two separate tests, where a maximum uniform load of 125 pounds per linear foot is applied vertically and horizontally. Both the two-inch and three-inch Guardrail Systems were successfully subjected to Uniform Load Testing in accordance with the references listed above. A vertical load of 125 pounds per linear foot was applied using a measured amount of sand and/or lead. The horizontal load was achieved using a Wyle-fabricated beam, a load cell, and a chain hoist pulling device. The load applied to the two-inch Guardrail System was 750 pounds. The load applied to the three-inch Guardrail System was 698 pounds. Upon completion of the Uniform Load Test, the Guardrail Systems were visually inspected for any signs of damage and/or degradation resulting from the imposed test environment. No anomalies were noted.

The Instrumentation Equipment Sheet for the test setup is presented in Attachment B. Flotation Systems provided a List of Materials used in the manufacturing of the Guardrail Systems. This List of Materials is presented in Attachment C. The test results contained herein apply only to the test specimens identified in this report. 5.3 Concentrated Load Test Two separate tests shall be conducted, where a test load of 500 pounds is applied at the top rail and at the top of a single post. In both cases, the load shall be continuously applied normal to the top rail (top of the guard) at the maximum Guardrail System (guard) height. When the applied load reaches 200 pounds, the deflection at the point of loading shall be recorded. The allowable deflection for the Guardrail System at 200 pounds shall not exceed either one of the following allowable deflection limits. 1. The sum of the rail (guard) height, h (in inches), divided by 24 plus the effective rail (guard) length, 1 (in inches), between the vertical supports divided by 96. Where the effective rail (guard) length is the distance between the edges of the posts. The deflection at the midspan of the rail (guard) is measured relative to the center of the two posts. 2. The effective post height (vertical support) divided by 12. Where the effective post (vertical support) height is the difference from top-of-post to first point of the support or first connector of the post to the supporting rim joist(in inches). Maximum deflections allowable for the 2-inch System on the rail are: 41.25"/24 +72"/96 =0.7679". On the corner post is: 1"/12 = 0.0833". Actual 2-inch system deflections are: glass panel rail= 0.07", wired rail= 0.328", and the corner post is 0.02". All measurements of the 2-inch Rail System were within acceptable limits. Maximum deflections allowable for the 3-inch System on the rail are: 42"/24 + 67"/96 = 0.7161". On the corner post is: 2.5"/ 12= 0.2083". WYLE LABORATORIES Huntsville Facility Page No. 4 Test Report No. 51469-01 5.0 PROCEDURES AND RESULTS (Continued) 5.3 Concentrated Load Test (Continued) Actual 3-inch System deflections are: glass panel rail = 0.100", wired rail = 0.420", and the corner post is 0.007". All measurements of the 3-inch Rail System were within acceptable limits. Photographs of test specimens and test setup are presented in Attachment A. The Instrumentation Equipment Sheet for the test setup is presented in Attachment B. Flotation Systems provided a List of Materials used in the manufacturing of the Guardrail Systems. This List of Materials is presented in Attachment C. The test results contained herein apply only to the test specimens identified in this report. 6.0 QUALITY ASSURANCE All work performed on this program was completed in accordance with Wyle Laboratories' Quality Assurance Program. The Wyle Laboratories, Huntsville Facility, Quality Management System is registered in compliance with the ISO-9001 International Quality Standard. Registration has been completed by Quality Management Institute (QMI), a Division of Canadian Standards Association(CSA). Wyle Laboratories is accredited(Certificate No. 845.02)by the American Association for Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA), and the results shown in this test report have been determined in accordance with Wyle's scope of accreditation unless otherwise stated in the report. 7.0 TEST EQUIPMENT AND INSTRUMENTATION All instrumentation, measuring, and test equipment used in the performance of this test program were calibrated in accordance with Wyle Laboratories' Quality Assurance Program, which complies with the requirements of ANSI/NCSL Z540-1, ISO 10012-1, and Military Specification MIL-STD-45662A. Standards used in performing all calibrations are traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) by report number and date. When no national standards exist, the standards are traceable to international standards or the basis for calibration is otherwise documented.
