1 SECTION ORNAMENTAL RAILINGS PART 1 - GENERAL 1.1 SUMMARY A. This Section includes the following: 1. Glass supported railings. B. See Division 5 Section "Metal Stairs" for steel tube railings associated with metal stairs. C. See Division 5 Section "Pipe and Tube Railings" for railings fabricated from pipe and tube components. 1.2 PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS A. Structural Performance: Provide railings capable of withstanding the effects of gravity loads and the following loads and stresses within limits and under conditions indicated: 1. Handrails: a. Uniform load of 50 lbf/ ft. (0.73 kn/m) applied in any direction. b. Concentrated load of 200 lbf (0.89 kn) applied in any direction. c. Uniform and concentrated loads need not be assumed to act concurrently. 2. Top Rails of Guards: a. Uniform load of 50 lbf/ ft. (0.73 kn/m) applied in any direction. b. Concentrated load of 200 lbf (0.89 kn) applied in any direction. c. Uniform and concentrated loads need not be assumed to act concurrently. 3. Infill of Guards: a. Concentrated load of 50 lbf (0.22 kn) applied horizontally on an area of 1 sq. ft. (0.093 sq. m). b. Uniform load of 25 lbf/sq. ft. (1.2 kn/sq. m) applied horizontally. c. Infill load and other loads need not be assumed to act concurrently. 4. Glass-Supported Railings: Support each section of top rail by a minimum of three glass panels or by other means so top rail will remain in place if any one panel fails. B. Control of Corrosion: Prevent galvanic action and other forms of corrosion by insulating metals and other materials from direct contact with incompatible materials. ORNAMENTAL RAILINGS

2 1.3 SUBMITTALS A. Product Data: For railings assembled from standard components, grout, anchoring cement, and paint products. B. Shop Drawings: Include plans, elevations, sections, details, and attachments to other Work. 1. For installed products indicated to comply with design loads, include structural analysis data signed and sealed by the qualified professional engineer responsible for their preparation. C. Samples: For each exposed finish required. D. Product Test Reports: Based on evaluation of comprehensive tests performed by a qualified testing agency, according to ASTM E 894 and ASTM E QUALITY ASSURANCE A. Product Options: Information on Drawings and in Specifications establishes requirements for system's aesthetic effects and performance characteristics. Do not modify intended aesthetic effects, as judged solely by Architect, except with Architect's approval. B. Preconstruction Testing Service: Owner will engage testing agency to test railings according ASTM E 894 and ASTM E 935. Payment will be made by owner 1. Provide test specimens and assemblies representative of proposed materials and construction. C. Mockups: Build mockups to verify selections made under sample submittals and to demonstrate aesthetic effects and set quality standards for fabrication and installation. 1. Build mockups for each form and finish of railing consisting of two posts, top rail, infill area, and anchorage system components. PART 2 - PRODUCTS 2.1 MANUFACTURERS A. Available Manufacturers: Subject to compliance with requirements, manufacturers offering products that may be incorporated into the Work include, but are not limited to, the following: B. Manufacturers: Subject to compliance with requirements, provide products by one of the following: 1. Glass Supported Railings: a. Foreman Fabricators McRee Ave., St. Louis, MO (314) ORNAMENTAL RAILINGS

3 2.2 METALS A. Brackets, Flanges, and Anchors: Same metal and finish as supported rails, unless otherwise indicated. B. Aluminum: Provide alloy and temper recommended by aluminum producer and finisher for type of use and finish indicated, and with strength and durability properties for each aluminum form required not less than that of alloy and temper designated below. 1. Extruded Bars and Shapes, ASTM B 221 (ASTM B 221M), Alloy 6063-T5/T Extruded Structural: ASTM B 429, Alloy 6063-T6. 3.
