2) |
Mr. Madani introduced
the first agenda item which was to review and accept a report from the
University of Florida on the status of their research performed under the
auspices of the Florida Building Commission and the Department. Dr. Forrest Masters,
PhD., P.E. and research staff provided a presentation on University of
Florida interim test research on Asphalt Shingles and Roofing Tiles. For further details, please see the
attached power point presentations regarding the Tile Roof Research and
Shingle Roof Research. Interim
Report for the Windborne Debris Study: As part of the contractual
agreement with University of Florida (UF) to conduct technical research for
improving wind resistance of buildings, the contractor “UF research team”
updated the Commission’s Hurricane Research Advisory Committee (HRAC) of the
status of the current research.
Currently, UF is conducting research to evaluate the wind resistance
of asphalt shingle roof systems and roof tile systems and wind-driven rain
penetration resistance of buildings.
The objectives of this research are to evaluate the effects of aging
on shingle roof, to understand the performance of hip and ridge attachments
in strong winds, and to provide guidelines for the design and installation of
building products and systems intended to prevent water ingress from
wind-driven rain. In addition to the
research, UF staff reported on the on-going task to survey
and investigate buildings damaged by hurricanes when and if such events
would take place in the future. At the
end of the meeting, the HRAC accepted the interim reports and deemed the interim
report satisfactory. A motion to accept
these reports was submitted by Jim Schock, seconded by Joe Crum. Vote was taken via roll call with unanimous
approval. |

commission business to discuss, the meeting was adjourned at 3:45pm. |
