Alternatively, lower-bound assumptions must be substantiated. The following should be considered <br /> in the calculations: <br /> a. The sign connections are eccentric and will induce additional moments in the parapets. <br /> b. Axial loading(tension and compression)should be considered. <br /> 0 For tension loading, the available tension capacity should be reduced if full development of the vertical <br /> ( reinforcement does not occur(i.e., bar length above connection is not adequate to develop bar). <br /> Q, LIZ 'F o.w t- 14Lef cdo t5 /4 4,LLtir <br /> DCI Response:See supplemental calculations S-39 thru S-45 for loading to parapet walls and sheet S-79 <br /> and S-80 for calculation of eccentric vertical load to parapet wall and the resulting moment in the parapet <br /> wall. Please note,there is not a net uplift load from the sign to the face of the parapet wall.Therefore, <br /> /comment 6c does not need to be checked. <br /> t-P The calculations do not appear to include a combined loading check of the base framing that supports the <br /> sign. The base framing will be subject to axial loading combined with flexural loads. Note that some <br /> locations are subject to biaxial flexure due to concurrent gravity, vertical wind resistance, and lateral wind <br /> resistance(i.e.,shear into parapets). <br /> DCI Response:All loading directions and load combinations(EQ16-12 and EQ16-15)have been checked <br /> with worst case loading to the supporting structure shown in the updated calculations. Please note,the <br /> design intent is that the CMU parapets on support in-plane loading only.The steel frames and connections <br /> to the roof deck resist the additional loading created. <br /> 8. The anchor design to the concrete deck should address the following: <br /> a. Calculations substantiating the design of the connections should be performed perACl 318-14 Chapter <br /> 17. Note that the loads are in ASD-format;LRFD combinations must be used. <br /> ib' The anchor design shall perform a combined loading check for concurrent shear(i.e.,single and bi- <br /> directional as occurs) with tension. Based on the calculations on page 44,it appears that unity will be <br /> exceeded(i.e., DCR>1). <br /> 0CThe connections utilize a line of anchors distributed by a flat plate. It is anticipated that the anchors <br /> . <br /> nearest the posts will attract more of the uplift load. The distribution of the uplift loads to the individual <br /> anchors should be substantiated by analysis. Alternatively, the anchor group should be designed <br /> accounting for the stiffness of the plate and its ability to distribute the uplift loads. See ASCE 7-10 <br /> ,/ Section 13.4.4. <br /> 4'. The field-installed conditions at multiple locations deviate from Detail 7/S3.IM. See the attached photos <br /> 5161 and 5162. Documentation substantiating the as-built condition should be performed. <br /> DCI Response: <br /> 8a. See updated calculations, pages S-47 thru S-73,for connections to the roof deck using ACI 318-14 and <br /> using the LRFD load combinations. <br /> 8b.The bi-directional loading was checked where it occurs. <br /> Stiffener plates will be added to the top of the base plate to uniformly distribute the loading to the anchor <br /> group.See updated detail 7/SS3.1 M and updated calculations sheet S-74. <br /> t,8d. See S-81 thru S-89 for calculations at locations where the anchor locations deviate from what is detailed. <br /> /The anchor design to the masonry walls should address the following: <br /> a. Calculations substantiating the capacities should be performed perACl 530-13. <br /> b. The calculations shall account for group effects. <br /> c. The anchor design shall perform a combined loading check for concurrent shear(i.e., single and bi- <br /> directional as occurs) with tension. <br /> d. The connections are typically eccentrically-loaded(i.e., the base plates are not tight to the wall <br /> surfaces). The eccentricity and the resulting induced forces(e.g., moment)shall be included in the <br /> anchor design(i.e., masonry and steel capacities),including the connection in Detail 12/S3.1 M(see <br /> Photo 5158). <br /> e. Continuing with the previous comment, it is recommended that the connections be modified to address <br /> the eccentric conditions, such as placing non-shrink grout between the plates and walls. If grout is <br />
