PROCEDURE The guardrail system was mounted per manufacturers instructions and tested on a pressure - treated wooden deck composed of 2x6 planks and joists. Posts were mounted using 3/8' by 2 -3/4° lag bolts through the plank. Testing was performed in accordance with Section 4.2 of AC174 (5 -1-02). Loading rates were 45 to 60 seconds. The in -fill load test (4.2.2), the uniform load test (4.2.3) and the concentrated load tests (4.2.4) were performed in order on the same system mock -up. All final loads were held for one minute. Testing was performed using a hydraulic test ram with a Masstron Model 3 (SN 1189) load indicator and a 5000 lb. Model 1010 -1 (SN 22641) load cell transducer with a calibration due date of 1- 23 -05. • SAMPLE PIP 36' high by 93" length RES-8 steel guardrail system with 1'x1° top and bottom rails and 5/8'x5/8' balusters on 4-1/2' centers (20 total). This is attached to two 2 °x2' steel posts that are 40° high with a 4'x4" base using four 3/16'x1' metal screws in the HD -104 brackets. Mounting height is 2 -3/4' from the post base.
