Does anyone have any resources on wall and roof assemblies that have passed the ICC-500 missile test?
I have tried to scour the internet. There is some information about CMU wall sections from NCMA. There is a little bit of information in FEMA P-361. Finally, there is some information in the TTU NWI report from 2006. except for the NCMA Tek Note, all of those sources make it clear that these are test results from previous standards and may not satisfy current testing standards. The National Wind Institute has a landing page that indicates they are not testing anymore, and they direct you toward Intertek and UL, but the only thing I can find there are ratings for components like hinges, latches, louvers, etc. I want to know about more standard wall construction and roof construction, and I feel like it should be easy to see what CMU wall works or what roof slab works.
