I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself and our firm. My name is Joseph Bauer and I have ten years of
experience in the design of railings. Our firm, Rice Engineering, is located northeast of Green Bay, Wisconsin, in the
town of Luxemburg. Rice Engineering is licensed in all (50) U.S. States, Puerto Rico, Guam, U.S. Virgin Islands, Mexico,
and ten provinces of Canada. We have 25 years of experience in the curtain wall and building envelope industry. Our
fifty structural engineers and drafters provide structural calculations and shop drawings to installers and manufactures
in the design of:
• Curtain walls, windows, storefront and blast design
• Composite and metal panel cladding
• Sunshades, canopies and awnings
• Louvers, fans, vents and hatches
• Stairs, platforms, mezzanines, railings and guardrails
• Glass walls, channel glass, glass stairs and floors
• Roof mounted equipment
• Florida product approvals and Miami Dade NOA's
Rice Engineering has more than 15 years of experience in railing engineering and anchorage design. Our Railing
Engineering Group provides structural analysis and calculations for glass, aluminum, stainless steel, and steel railings
with various infills and anchorage into all types of building structure. Each design considers live loads, wind loads, and
infill loads based on IBC specifications and local building codes.
Our Midwest location allows us to provide our services at a competitive rate. We understand there are many options
for engineering services. Therefore, we focus on working with our customers to provide cost effective solutions that
meet their needs, in a timely manner. Our typical turn time is one to three weeks for engineering. If the project you are
working on requires project specific calculations, please contact us and we can provide you with a quote.
Sincerely,
Joseph D. Bauer, P.E. (Wisconsin)

RE: STAR System Aluminum Railing- IRC 2015
January 02, 2020
To whom it may concern:
Rice Engineering is pleased to submit this report and calculations which summarizes our analysis of the
STAR Aluminum Railing System.
The calculations performed are for the STAR System "Classic Style" Picket Rail based on each member's
die drawing and assembly drawing which was provided to Rice Engineering previously by East & West
Alum Craft. These drawings can be found at the end of the report.
Our conclusions for this report are based on design loads provided by the International Residential Code
2015 (IRC 2015). The analysis provided meets the appropriate allowable stress design methods set forth
by the Aluminum Association's "Aluminum Design Manual". The posts, post reinforcement, and base
plates are designed solely by utilizing the test data as set forth per IBC 2015.
For the purposes of this report, a surface mount condition has been considered for two different substrate
types: F'c= 4,000 psi normal weight cracked concrete and a minimum SG=0.50 wood deck with blocking.
The calculations are limited to the anchor's embedment depth / penetration, spacing and edge distance
dimensions as shown in the report. Also included are calculations for a surface core mounted condition.
If the field conditions for the rail system installation are not as provided in this report, please contact East
& West Alum Craft for custom anchorage design calculations. If using a core mounted condition, please
contact the Engineer of Record on the project to verify concrete breakout is OK.
Since there are infinite layout possibilities for guardrails, the calculations provided with this report are
limited to straight run guardrail systems with consideration for 1-span and 2+ span layouts. For guardrail
layouts that include U-shapes, L-shapes or other custom layouts, please contact East & West Alum Craft
for project specific guardrail calculations.
Conclusions for STAR System Commercial Guards:
1. It is assumed that the residential guardrails are a maximum height of 36".
2. Per the IRC 2015, a minimum design concentrated load of 200 LB applied in any direction at the
top of the guard is required. Separately, a 50 LB lateral load applied over 1 ft2 of the picket infill is
required.
3. Based on the above criteria from #2, the maximum post spacing for residential applications for rail
systems with 6061-T6 posts and 2" tall 6061-T6 I beam reinforcement are:
1-Span Guard (2 posts): 6'-5" maximum
2-Span or greater: 6'-5" maximum

4. See calculation sheets A4 through A6 for the appropriate standard concrete anchorage, wood
anchorage and core mounted layout requirements for residential applications.
Attachments:
The following sheets are the final calculations and STAR System layout and appropriate die drawings for
the IRC 2015 analysis.
The structural calculations contained within this report are not intended to be submitted as project specific
structural calculations. Rice Engineering assumes no liability for use of calculations. If project specific
calculations are required, please contact Rice Engineering, 920-617-1042. The analysis within this report
provides an acceptable engineered design for the STAR System to resist the specified loading, as well as
the requirements outlined in IRC 2015.
If there are any questions regarding this submittal, please contact East & West Alum Craft.

6 Warnings
• The anchor design methods in PROFIS Anchor require rigid anchor plates per current regulations (ETAG 001/Annex C, EOTA TR029, etc.). This
means load re -distribution on the anchors due to elastic deformations of the anchor plate are not considered - the anchor plate is assumed to be
sufficiently stiff, in order not to be deformed when subjected to the design loading. PROFIS Anchor calculates the minimum required anchor plate
thickness with FEM to limit the stress of the anchor plate based on the assumptions explained above. The proof if the rigid anchor plate
assumption is valid is not carried out by PROFIS Anchor. Input data and results must be checked for agreement with the existing conditions and
for plausibility!
• Condition A applies when supplementary reinforcement is used. The 0 factor is increased for non -steel Design Strengths except Pullout Strength
and Pryout strength. Condition B applies when supplementary reinforcement is not used and for Pullout Strength and Pryout Strength. Refer to
your local standard.
• Refer to the manufacturer's product literature for cleaning and installation instructions.
• Checking the transfer of loads into the base material and the shear resistance are required in accordance with ACI 318 or the relevant standard!
• Hilti post -installed anchors shall be installed in accordance with the Hilti Manufacturer's Printed Installation Instructions (MPII). Reference ACI
318-11. Part D.9.1
• The characteristic bond resistances depend on the return period (service life in years): 50

Project Summary:
Quast Consulting and Testing, Inc. was contracted by STAR Systems International, LLC to perform
strength testing on aluminum posts. The posts were supplied by STAR Systems International, LLC. and
tested at Quast Consulting and Testing Laboratory located in Mosinee, WI. Test specimen description
and results are reported herein.
Test Specimen: (See Appendix A)
The aluminum mounting plate was 5" x 5" x 3/8" thick with four bolt holes spaced 3/4" from edges.
A 2" tall 1-3/4" x 1-3/4" aluminum I -section with 1/4" web and 5/32" flanges was welded to the center
of the mounting plate. A 2" x 2" x 1/8" thick aluminum post was fit over the I -Section and welded to the
mounting plate on all sides. The post was bolted to a rigid steel W-section using 1/2-13 x 2-1/4" long
A307 steel bolts.
Test Procedure: (See Photo #1)
In order to facilitate loading, a steel collar was fitted over the post with its horizontal centerline
positioned 42" from the bottom of the mounting plate. Load was applied to the collar horizontally and
parallel to the web of the aluminum I -section insert. Load was measured using a load cell. Horizontal
deflection at the point of load application was measured using a string potentiometer. A data acquisition
program was used to generate load vs deflection data for each test. Peak load and pulling rate were
tabulated as results. See Appendix B for Load vs Deflection graphs of all tests.
