About this file
This document is a technical specification and design drawing set for a Standard Awning structure prepared by the U.S. Embassy in Guatemala, Section of Antarctic Affairs and Law Application (dated April 2022). The specification outlines detailed requirements for manufacturing and installing a modular, bolted awning system with a curved galvanized steel frame structure.
The frame specifications require curved joists fabricated from high-resistance galvanized GHT tubing and plates meeting Grade 72 structural strength (72,000 PSI minimum) with ASTM A653 and AUS 1397 zinc coating Z180 (180g/m²) standards. All welded points must be polished smooth and finished with two coats of anticorrosion paint followed by two coats of aluminum paint using E70XX welding rod. All connecting elements must be galvanized bolts (A325 or G60 threaded rods) designed for easy assembly and disassembly. The canvas specifications call for white, blackout Polyester fiber with PVC coating at 24 oz/yd² (680g/m²), including UV resistance, fungus retardant, biocide treatment, and flame retardant properties. Canvas attachment requires polypropylene rope at least 1/4 inch thick tied to the joist upper and lower chords. The precast reinforced concrete counterweights require concrete with f'c = 3,000 PSI, reinforcement steel fy = 40,000 PSI, and weights calculated at 1.5 to 2 tons per base, prefabricated at shop and field-installed with embedded galvanized steel plates. The structure includes multiple frame segments, lateral wind bracing, X-bracing, a 400W LED reflector, and a multiple Franklin spike lightning rod system with delta-type ground connection.
