1.0 INTRODUCTION
Permanent guardrail systems are required near or at the open sides of elevated walking/viewing surfaces for
the purpose of minimizing the potential of an accidental fall to a lower level.
Aluminum guardrail assemblies are commonly comprised of strarght sections of top rail elevated and
supported above a floor by uniformly spaced posts The posts are anchored to the floor system by means of
anchor screws or bolts. A botom rhinnel runs between support posts just dbuve the floor system. The
verta,al space between the posts, the bottom channel and top rail is mfilled wi0i either glass panels or
aluminum pickets. Figure 1 below illustrates the main elements of a glass panel and aluminum picket
guardrail system

This manual has been compiled to provide relevant structural information which will enable designers,
installers, architects, and engineers to select safe and code -conforming guardrail designs using
BW vista products
The major crn�sideratiuns for the structural design of quarorarls are.
1. Structural design cntena as established by governing building codes, bodies and authorities
or by specific and unique established project design requirements.
2. Mechanical properties of material used in the manufacture of guardrail elements,
J. Physical pruperties of guardrail elements.
4 Load capacrues of guardrail elements and cumjxaient systems.
5- Load distribution characteristics of various guardrail elements and systems, and
6. Proper anchorage of support elements to surrounding supporting structures.

2.1 DESIGN CRITERIA
2.1.1 Loadings
Structural design loading requirements for guardrails are specified by governing building
codes and "dies local ordinances proje rl specifications and!or rMulatrry mithodtips
Usually a uniformly distributed load and/or a concentrated load applied to the top rail is
specdied. The loading requirements of the 2015 International Buliaing Gooe for guararails
are provided in section 1607.8.1 Handrails and guards as shown below.
1607.8.1 Handrails and guards. Handrail assemblies and guards shall be
designed to resist a load of 50 pit (0.73 kN/m) applied in any direction at the top
and to transfer this load through the supports to the structure.
Exceptions:
For oru•- and two-family dwellings only the srngfeconcentrated
load required by Section 1607 8.1.1 shall be applied.
In Group 1-3, F.H and S occupancies, for areas that are not
accessible to the general public and that have an occupant load
no greater than 50. the minimum load shall be 20 pounds per foot
(029 kN/mt
11007.121AA Concentrated load. Handrail dssranblies and guards shall he aLte to
resist a single cuncentrated +oad of 200 pounds (0.89 kN), applied in any direction
at any point along the lop, and have attachment devices and supporting structure
to transfer this loading to appropriate structural elements of the building. This load
need not be assumed to act concurrently with the loads specified in the preceding
paragraph
1607.8.1.2 intermediate Rails. Intermediate rails (all those except the handrail),
balusters and panel fillers shall be designed to withstand a horizontally apohed
normal bad of 50 pounds (0.22 kN) on a area equal to 1 square fool 10.093r1).
including openings and space between rails. Reactions due to this loading are not
required to be superimposed with those of Section 1607 8.1 or 1607 8 1,1,
2.1.2 Factors Of Safety
Factors of safety are generally related to a mode of failure Ductile failure, such as stable
(no herckling) yielding of a metal element, is usually assigned a lower factor of safety than is
brittle failure, such as screw fracture or anchor butt pullout A lvghef or lower factor of safety
may be appropriate depending upon the type of application and other considerations made
by the certifying professional. For instance, a higher factor of safety may be more
appropriate for glass infill
panels since their failure is of a brittle nature. The guardrail configurations/design tables
provided at the end of this manual have been developed using the factors of safety as set
out in the 2015 Intemational Buildinq Cade. AA ASM 35. and Parts I -A and I-B of the
Aluminum Design Manual.

2.3 ELEMENT AND SYSTEM LOAD CAPACITIES . /9
AA ASM 35 and Parts 1-A and 1-B of the Aluminum Design Manual can be used in determining
individual component capacities using conventional engineering design procedures. This method is
somewhat conservative and limiting since it does not olve cnnsirteratmn In the varying mteramion;
or the elements in determining the load canymg capacity of the guardrail system Analysis and
testing procedures we applied to achkeve intcnnalitxi iw a more efficient design.
Allematively, aluminum guardrail element and system load capacities can be determined following
the applicable provisions of the 2015 Inlemational Building Code in Chapter 17 Structural Tests and
Special Inspections. BW Vista has conducted an extensive testing program using the services of
Intedek Testing Services Na Ltd./Wamock Hershey, some of the results of which are provided in
Table 3. Reports of the tests are available upon request. Since lest results generally reflect more
arrurately the. actual kind carrying capacity of ntmm4,nU and -.ysterna, OW 'fists. rucumnietxls u-xi
use of test results. where possible, in determining acceptable guardrail designs.
2.4 LOAD DISTRIBUTION
Proper determination of load distribution is a necessary step in the efficient design of guardrail
systems. Load distribution is affected by numerous factors, including but not limited to. the stiffness
of the top rail relative to the stiffness of the posts, the continuity of the top rid, the length of each
straight segment, the total number of spans in a segment, the type of panel mfill and the end support
conditions Accurately determining the Ined distnbulinn rhnracfpr, ttr- -r 9';a-drail sjslen.
