Memorandum To: All Florida Building Code Officials & Municipalities From: Anthony L. Rentz, P.E. Date: Monday, November 30, 2009 RE: Hebel Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) Products

Use in the State of Florida, Findings by Third Party Engineer Directives for Reviewing and Permitting Agencies

Please find attached two (2) documents from Dr. John K. McCall, Ph.D., P.E., of McCall Engineering, LLC, Sarasota, Florida. Note that he and his staff have evaluated the applicability of the Xella Hebel Product Line as it would relate to the Florida Product Approval process. Note that their findings, both for Non-reinforced AAC products (AAC Block Material) and Reinforced AAC products (AAC Panels, Boards, Lintels, etc.), indicate that due to the flexible and versatile nature of the product, a specific configuration (or array of configurations) for certification under the Florida Product Approval program would not include ALL possible design scenarios. Such a inclusive certification for the product line would be impossible. Therefore, Xella Hebel AAC does not and cannot fit the State’s “model” for Florida Product Approval. Just as CMU, sawn timber members, and general purpose concrete maintain no Florida Product Approval due to their application and configuration possibilities, this product line is subject to the same criteria. In tandem with these findings, also note that the structural engineering applications, specifications, design criteria and guidelines for the product’s use are strictly governed by ASTM Standards (that are vigorously and frequently modified and updated) and the American Concrete Institute’s Standards of ACI 523.4R (for pre-cast panels) and ACI 530 Appendix “A” (for masonry applications). Also, this company maintains ICC-ES reports for both families of product, both reinforced and non-reinforced. The product has also undergone previous testing for configurations necessary for the product’s use in High-Velocity Hurricane-prone regions of the State. Given both the above and the attached, projects designed with AAC products shall always be required to conform to the design standards as aforementioned. Each and every project will be unique in its character with regard to loading criteria, required performance, and sustainability. It is the responsibility of the Professional Design Engineer of Record to conform to all published design standards that govern the use of AAC for a given project and location, and it is the duty of the Reviewing Official to police and adjudicate all AAC design work as presented for review and permitting. This will always be the case, even if it were possible to assign a FPA number to the products. Please review the attached. We welcome the opportunity to provide more information for clarity and support as needed. Please direct any comments, questions, or problems to this office in Adel, Georgia.

Description of Specimen: Specimens consisted of Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) Panelsmanufactured by Contec Mexicana S.A. de C.V. of Garza Garcia, N.L. Mexico.. These panels arenominally four inches thick (3-7/8" actual), 24 inches across and are manufactured in lengths up totwenty feet long. The panels tested were cut at eight feet long. These panels have two -3/16" (5mm)diameter welded wire meshesreinforcement where nine wires are runalong the panel axis at 2-3/8" (60 mm)from each other and repeating segmentsof wire along the panel length at 3-W'(89 mm) from each other. Each wiremesh is located at 1" (26mm) from thepanel surface, front and back. (SeeDiagram: Typical 4" AACPanel) .

Descriotion of Soecimen: Specimens consisted of Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) Panelsmanufactured by Contec Mexicana S.A. de C.V. of Garza Garcia, N.L. Mexico.. These panels arenominally two inches thick (1.97" actual), 24 inches across and are manufactured in lengths up to twentyfeet long. The panels tested were cut ateight feet long. These panels have a-3/16" (5mm) diameter welded wire meshreinforcement where three wires are runalong the panel axis at 9-7/16" (240 mm)from each other and repeating segments ofwire along the panel length at 6-5/8" (168mm) from each other.

Static Wind Loading / Manner of Testing: Inaccordance with ASTM E 330-02 StandardTest Method for Structural Performance ofExterior Windows, Curtain Walls, and Doorsby Uniform Static Air Pressure Difference:

The loads applied to the specimen in a 45 secondload cycle (10 seconds from zero to the load, 30second duration at load & 5 seconds to release

load) were at levels specified by the client'sConsulting Engineer. Polyethylene film (2 mil)and tape were used to seal air leakage duringloads these were used in a manner that did notinfluence the results. Gauges were mountedalong the centerline of the specimen's primaryspan to record deflections. These gauges weremounted to a gauge bar attached to the supportbeam to record deflection only of the panelbetween the beams and not any secondarydeflection of the beams themselves.

WIND LOADS: Specimen AI, A2 & A3 were subjected to static wind loads in accordance withASTM E 330-02, these verified a Design Load of + 110.0 PSF /-110.0 PSF.

IMPACTS: Specimens Bl, B2 & B3 were impacted in accordance with ASTM E 1886-02 perspecification ASTM E 1996-02 at Missile Level D with the Wind Zone 4 additional impact locationsoption. No openings were formed through which a three inch diameter sphere could pass, None failed asa result of impacts.

CYCLIC WIND LOADS: Specimens Bl, B2 & B3 were subjected to cyclic wind loads in accordancewith ASTM E 1886-02 per the specification ASTM E 1996-02, Table 1. Specimens A, B & Csuccessfully completed the cyclic wind loads to verify a Design Load of + 110.0 PSF /- 110.0 PSF.

CONCLUSION: Following testing all specimen were disassembled. No failures were observed in thespecimen. The product described here in complies with Standard Specification for Performance ofExterior Windows, Curtain Walls, Doors and Storm Shutters Impacted by Windborne Debris inHurricanes at Missile Level D with the Wind Zone 4 additional impact locations option exercised.This product was tested in accordance with and meets the requirements to comply with theFlorida Building Code 2004, Sections 1609.1.4.
