Structural framing systems are considered the norm for high-rise and commercial structures. The curtain wall/exterior wall panel design produces an ideal buffer or protection between the main structural frame of our building and any exterior elements, so that if an exterior wall panel is 2 of 13 damaged (i.e., apparatus hits the side of the tower) no structural damage is likely to occur. This wall panel system also creates a flat surface ideal for ladder or rappelling anywhere on the tower to simulate actual street conditions. 2.3 STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY: The wind loads, deck and the roof loads stated herein represent the standard criteria. Increased loadings, as may be dictated by local jurisdictions, will be accommodated. The primary structural system shall utilize hot-rolled structural steel column and beam frames sized to meet and exceed the loads as indicated. This training simulator shall be considered a nonbuilding structure for both code compliance and load interpretation. The primary and secondary structural system shall also meet and exceed the loads as indicated while maintaining a maximum deflection of L/240. 2.4 CODE COMPLIANCE: The training simulator’s primary structural and seismic design shall be in accordance with the City of Iowa City. This simulator shall meet all applicable NFPA and OSHA standards. It is the responsibility of the owner to obtain such variance if required. 2.5 MATERIALS: All materials shall be new and shall conform to applicable ASTM specifications. All structural or nonstructural materials used, 10 gauge or less in thickness, whether exposed or not to the elements shall be hot-dipped galvanized. When any mention of galvanized is noted within these specifications, it shall be implied to mean hot-dipped galvanized. Any exposed material which is not galvanized, shall be given one coat of shop paint. 2.6 FASTENERS: All fasteners utilized with galvanized steel panels not exposed to the elements shall be electro- galvanized. All exterior fasteners shall be furnished with a contained EPDM washer under the head for sealing. Structural columns and beams shall be field bolted with (A325) 5/8” diameter electro-galvanized bolts or larger. Anchor bolts shall by furnished by the concrete contractor, unpainted and of the size specified on the anchor bolt plan. 2.7 WEATHER SEALING: All joints in weather tight areas are to be sealed with tape caulk or foam closures as specified on the building plan. Because of the intended use water tightness of simulators is not required. 2.8 ROOF SYSTEMS: Roofs shall be decked with 30" or 36" wide, 18 ga. unpainted galvanized 18 gage steel deck per ASTM A-653, class G60 with recessed fasteners and shall meet the stated design load.

This pyrometer shall display all attached thermocouple temperatures simultaneously, continually display the maximum peak temperature, have touch sensitive buttons, include a backlight, and have an onscreen programming menu. The pyrometer shall have an internal audio alarm and the ability to connect external devices (i.e., external audio/ visual alarms or texting alarms). Temperature limits shall be user programmable to enable alarms. The pyrometer shall also be capable of data logging which shall include: 90 hour training memory with time and date stamp, onscreen viewing of data, download capabilities of data via infrared interfacing to handheld module. This handheld data acquisition module’s data can then be brought to an offsite Windows based computer for download via the SD/SDHC data storage card provided. A visual basic program shall be provided that allows for the user’s custom input and also automatically converts the temperature data to both an electronic datasheet and a graph via the user’s own Microsoft Excel software. The pyrometer shall also include Bluetooth connectivity direct to a customer provided Android phone or iPhone device (Bluetooth range is approximately 270 feet without obstructions). Via a supplied app, the device shall display the pyrometer’s real time temperatures for up to 9 thermocouples, maximum temperature reached, battery life, current time, if logging is enabled, visual and audio alarms, and if the memory is full. The display will also notify the user, if you are disconnected from the pyrometer. This unique application allows the training and safety officers to be away from the area where the pyrometer is installed, while still being able to monitor the temperatures within the burn rooms, and ensure that the operation of the burn room is conducted within a safe and controlled environment. 11 of 13 2.24 DESIGN, DRAWINGS & DATA: The supplier shall be responsible for providing the design exclusive of the foundation.
