2、n or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 The purpose of this practice is to delineate requirementsregarding the desi
3、gn, manufacture, installation, operation,maintenance, inspection and major modification of commercialor institutional trampoline courts with the primary purpose ofamusement, entertainment or recreation.1.2 This standard applies to institutional trampoline courtsthat are located in and around amuseme
4、nt, entertainment orrecreational facilities. Such facilities include but are not limitedto trampoline parks, amusement parks, theme parks, waterparks, family entertainment centers, fitness centers, gyms,gymnastics facilities, sports facilities, skate parks, camps,shopping centers, temporary special

22、e adequate strength for the intended forces produced by thetrampoline court and the reasonably foreseeable actions of thepatron(s).6.6.1 When an immediately adjacent wall is used for patroncontainment, the distance between TC frame and the wall shallnot exceed 3 in. (7.62 cm).6.7 Loads and Strengths
23、:6.7.1 The designer/engineer shall perform and document arisk analysis.6.7.2 Trampoline courts shall be designed so that loadconditions expected during operation shall not cause failuresduring the operational hours assumed in the analysis.6.7.2.1 An exception to 6.7.2 may be made in the case ofcompo
24、nents and portions of structures that are intended toprovide secondary load paths during a failure condition.Components such as safety cables or links and certain limitedportions of the primary structure that they are attached to, maybe designed to yield (and thus absorb a significant amount ofenerg
25、y) when subjected to load conditions expected to occurduring a plausible, although unlikely primary structure failurescenario. In such cases, the expected failure mode loading shallnot cause rupture to occur (that is, the stresses shall not exceedthe ultimate strength). Designs that rely on such cri
26、teria shallutilize materials that possess high elongation for componentswhere stresses may be expected to exceed the yield strengthunder failure mode loading conditions.6.8 Patron Weight:6.8.1 The weight assigned to an adult or child patron, fordesign purposes, shall be 170 lb (77.11 kg).6.8.2 The d
27、esigner/engineer may assign higher weight val-ues for design purposes in accordance with the requirements ofthis standard practice.6.8.3 As a nonfatigue, dynamic case, trampoline courts shallbe designed for occasional full or partial loads of large adultparticipants weighing 300 pounds (136.08 kg) p
28、er participantor an appropriate lesser amount if recommended by thetrampoline court manufacturer. This means that if an adultpatron weighing 300 pounds (136.08 kg) is restricted fromparticipation by signage or other means recommended by themanufacturer, then the trampoline court does not have to bed
29、esigned to accommodate for occasional full or partial loads oflarge adult patrons weighing 300 pounds (136.08 kg). In thiscase, the trampoline court shall be designed to accommodateoccasional full or partial loads of the heaviest adult patrons thatthe trampoline court is designed to accommodate.6.9
30、Variable loads (that is, live load) for a trampoline courtinclude all loads that fluctuate with respect to time. Variableloads are divided into four subsets: operational loads, nonop-erational loads, environmental loads, operation in wind andnon-operational in wind.6.9.1 Operational (Dynamic) Loads:
31、6.9.1.1 Operational loads include varying loads normallyencountered during operation of the trampoline court.6.9.2 Nonoperational Loads:6.9.2.1 All loads associated with transportation or handlingor both (that is, setting up, tearing down) and ongoingmaintenance of portable and permanent trampoline
32、courts shallbe considered in the analysis.6.9.3 Environmental Loads:6.9.3.1 Portable trampoline courts shall be designed to resistall designer/engineer defined environmental loads.6.9.3.2 Fixed or permanent trampoline courts shall be de-signed to resist all applicable environmental loads for theinte
33、nded location in accordance with the environmental loadsin the applicable building codes for the intended location.6.9.3.3 The designer/engineer shall clearly indicate the en-vironmental loads the trampoline court was designed for, in theoperating and maintenance instructions. Refer to PracticeF1193
34、-06. In addition to the environmental load information,any restrictions, limitations, or special procedures associatedwith trampoline courts exposed to these environmental loadsshall be included.6.9.4 Operation in Wind:6.9.4.1 As a minimum, trampoline courts exposed to windshall be designed to opera
35、te in winds up to 34 mph (15 m/s).6.9.4.2 The designer/engineer or manufacturer shall includeany restrictions, limitations, or special procedures for the safeoperation of a trampoline court exposed to wind, in theoperating and maintenance instructions. See section on Manu-facturers Responsibility of
36、 Practice F1193-06.6.9.5 Nonoperational in Wind:6.9.5.1 The designer/engineer or manufacturer shall includeany restrictions, limitations, or special procedures for nonop-erating or out-of-service trampoline courts, and their associatedcomponents exposed to wind, in the operating and maintenanceinstr
37、uctions. See section on Manufacturers Responsibility ofPractice F1193-06.6.10 Design:6.10.1 A structural analysis shall be performed for eachtrampoline court to verify that there is adequate structuralcapability in the design.6.10.2 The type of calculation or analysis selected shall bea widely recog
38、nized and generally accepted engineering prac-tice.6.10.3 The structural analyses performed shall consider andincorporate all significant loads and identify all significantstresses and strains that are anticipated to be experienced by thetrampoline court.6.10.4 The required strength of the structure
39、 and its ele-ments shall be demonstrated both statically and dynamicallyusing a minimum of five times the weight of an adult patron per6.8.1.6.10.5 Structures shall be analyzed to verify that significantplastic deformation or collapse or both does not occur underany anticipated loading condition, co
40、nsistent with the analysisexpected to occur a limited number of times throughout theF2970 134operational hours used in the design. Examples include envi-ronmental loads, patrons attempting to apply excessive (that is,abusive) loads, and extremely heavy patron weights.6.10.6 A deflection analysis sha
41、ll be performed if deforma-tions in structural members or structural systems due toexpected loading conditions could impair the serviceability ofthe structure.6.10.7 The structural analysis for the trampoline court shallconsider “strength” and “fatigue” criteria in the evaluation ofstresses resultin
42、g from the application of loads. The number oftimes that a specific load or combination of loads is expectedto occur throughout the designated number of operationalhours for the trampoline court shall determine whether theresulting stress levels will be compared to strength or strengthand fatigue ma
43、terial allowables. The method of analysis andload factors applied to specific loads shall be selected andbased upon the number of times loads are expected to occurduring the specified number of operational hours (that is,strength versus fatigue evaluation).6.10.8 The yield and ultimate strengths and
44、 fatigue proper-ties of the materials utilized for all components that couldaffect safety upon failure of the component shall be evaluated.Empirical testing, or empirical testing in combination withanalysis, may be used as a means of evaluating the strength andfatigue properties of the materials for
45、 these components. Ifempirical testing is used for evaluation, the designer/engineershall clearly specify and describe the testing procedure andrefer to the section on Testing of Practice F1193-06.7.
