8530 10TH AVE W CARPORTS 2025-09-30

i SITTS & HILL ENGINEERS, INC. building. Therefore, per the above noted exception, no Special Inspections are required for this project. 2. Response: Based on the response to Structural Comment #1, no Special Inspections are required. 3. Response: The carport footings are sheltered and will have limited exposure to water and ice. The concrete elements therefore qualify as Class F1 and Cl per ACI Table 19.3.1.1. Per ACI 19.3.2.1, the minimum concrete compressive strength for this class is 3,500psi. The drawings and calculations have been revised to specify the updated concrete compressive strength. Please see the revised documents for additional information. 4. Response: These configurations have been removed. 5. Response: Per response to Architectural Comment 3, no firewall is required. 6. a. Response: The unreinforced concrete footing is permitted per IBC 1905.1.7 exception b. 6.b. Response: The unreinforced concrete footing is structurally adequate for the applied loads. Please see page 29 of the revised calculations for additional information. 7.a. Response: The carport is structurally adequate for partial snow loading per ASCE Section 7.5. Please see the revised calculations for additional information. 7.b. Response: Per response to Architectural Comment 3, no firewall is required, therefore no snow drifts will develop on the carport. 7.c. Response: The referenced document has been reviewed, and no additional load is required. 7.d. Response: The carport is structurally adequate for the load combinations per IBC section 1604.4. Please see the revised calculations for additional information. 8. Response: The beam to column connection is structurally adequate for the applied loads. Please see page 22 of the revised calculations for additional information. 9.a. Response: Increased loads for snow drift, rain surcharge and wind pressures for partially- enclosed structures are not required per responses to structural comment 7c and architectural comment 3. The steel deck is structurally adequate for the load combinations per IBC Section 1605. Please see pages 11-16 of the revised calculations for additional information. 9-.b. Response: Per Table 1607.1, the 3001b load is only for occupied roofs, this roof is not occupiable. 9.c. Response: The steel deck meets the deflection requirements per IBC Table 1604.3. Please note that the deflection limit for the metal deck is L/60 per IBC Table 1604.3 footnote a. Please see pages 11-16 of the revised calculations for additional information. 10. Response: Per response to architectural comment 3 no firewall is required; therefore the carport will remain an open structure. 11. Response: Per response to architectural comment 3 no firewall is required; therefore the carport will remain an open structure. 12. Response: Per page 7 of the calculations, the cantilever columns have been designed for a seismic load including a redundancy factor of 1.3. Please note, the seismic design load including
