G. Statutory Approvals: The Subcontractor shall be responsible for obtaining approval of his design from
and any relevant local authorities.

H. Loadings: The design loadings given in the Basis of Design are in accordance with the relevant American,
Brazilian and/or other approved Standards and Regulations.

I. Deflection: The Subcontractor is to design the ETFE structures, cables and associated steelwork to limit
deflections of the tensioned ETFE panels under load such that the initial shape of the ETFE remains sloped,
i.e. does not invert, under a wind load that is defined by code as having a return period of 10 years, i.e. a
probability factor Sp = 0.934 unless the Subcontractor can show by step by step deflection analysis that the

ETFE Single Film System 133123 - 9

 ENDMENT 05, AUGUST 4, 2021CD3 AUGUST
14, 2020

initial prestress biaxial tension field does not reduce to zero at any point in the ETFE panels during the
process of the application of the wind load from zero to maximum load.

J. Analysis: The Subcontractor shall carry out a full analysis of the ETFE structures under all relevant loading
conditions and combinations using a suitable non-linear analysis program. This analysis shall be used to
design the steelwork, cables, tensioned membranes, and all fitments, and to provide forces and moments to
permit the design of the supporting structure and foundations. The Subcontractor is to provide the support
forces to the Architect within the period specified. In particular the Subcontractor must satisfy himself as
to the following:
1. That there is compatibility between his mathematical model shape and with his own cutting patterns.
2. That the geometry and stress described by his mathematical model together constitute an equilibrium
form.
3. That the Subcontractor’s mathematical model includes support stiffnesses which adequately
represent the supporting building and foundations to which he is attaching.
4. That the membrane connection plate geometry and other steelwork geometry is compatible with his
mathematical model.
5. That the supporting steelwork and cables for which the Subcontractor is responsible are designed
and constructed to adequately resist the applied forces from the fabric.

K. Clash: The Subcontractor is to check and ensure that the ETFE membranes remain at an adequate separation
distance from any other elements at all stages of deflection under load.

L. Pre-Stress in ETFE and Cables:

1. The Subcontractor shall select levels of pre-stress in relation to the behavior of his structures.
2. The Subcontractor shall determine acceptable variations in the pre-stress which are compatible with
his design
3. The Subcontractor shall also select a level of pre-stress in the ETFE, as well as the process of
installing it, such that subsequent loading and unloading are largely elastic.
4. The initial level of pre-stress shall also be sufficient to avoid the need for re-stressing within 10
years of the completion of the project.
5. Level of pre-stressing and sequence(s) shall be used during installation to avoid any ETFE wrinkles
after installation and during service. Cables shall have adequate pre-stress to avoid sag and excessive
movement of cables during service.
6. On or before the issue of the Practical Completion Certificate the pre-stress shall have stabilized to
the agreed design values and tolerances thereon.
7. The Subcontractor shall take in situ measurements. At the end of the Works, there shall remain
adequate adjustment to allow for future re-stressing.

M. Loadings of the ETFE Structures on Supporting Superstructure: The Subcontractor shall be responsible for
the site connections of the ETFE structures to the building structure. The Subcontractor will submit
reactions (support forces) to the Architect. The Subcontractor shall be responsible for coordinating with the
Architect and Engineer to review the support design of the checking that the support design is both strong
and stiff enough to support the ETFE structures.

N. Tolerances: The design of the ETFE structures shall allow for the permitted tolerances in the buildings
adjacent. The elements of the ETFE structures shall be manufactured within tolerances which ensure that
they fit on site and do not induce excessive loads or deflections in the components. The Subcontractor shall
satisfy himself on the position as constructed of his connection points to the supporting superstructure
