ICC-ES AC515
Full Name
ICC-ES AC515 – Acceptance Criteria for EPS Dome Structures Coated with Proprietary Coatings
Scope
ICC-ES AC515 outlines the acceptance criteria for evaluating Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) dome structures that are coated with proprietary coatings. The main purpose is to assess the structural performance, fire resistance, and durability of these structures when used in building applications.
Key aspects covered by AC515 include:
- Structural performance: evaluation of the dome’s structural design and analysis to ensure it can withstand various loads, such as wind, snow, and seismic forces.
- Fire resistance: assessment of the fire-resistant properties of the EPS foam and the proprietary coating to determine the assembly’s fire rating.
- Durability: evaluation of the dome’s resistance to weathering, moisture, and other environmental factors to ensure long-term performance.
- Coating properties: assessment of the proprietary coating’s adhesion, thickness, and other relevant properties that contribute to the overall performance of the dome structure.
