What is the procedure Dade County will follow for the approval of metal buildings?
The following addresses how metal building panels (such as those used in storage sheds, hangers, etc.) shall be treated to comply with the new Dade County requirements. First, metal-building companies shall test each of their panel configurations, and in order to be consistent, the following procedures are what this office has previously conveyed to the metal building industry with some minor clarification. Two samples of each panel configuration must be verified to the requirements of Protocol TAS202, (Static air test). By testing two samples of each of the panel configurations for TAS202 in the largest girt spacing, design pressure values may be obtained that will give grounds for determining the weakest panel. The results of the two samples of each configuration tested shall not vary more than 20%. The highest design pressure result of each of the two tests shall be dropped, and the lower design pressure value shall be used. The values of these panels are then compared with results
