18249.10 Everett Housing =rity October 52018 <br /> • Comment Response age 6—ore) <br /> Please refer to the attached structural calculations for lateral design of the addition and existing <br /> structure. Holddowns and shear wall callouts have been added to the plans. <br /> 21. The structural calculations do not include a lateral analysis of the existing structure. The existing <br /> structure has been modified and is subject to increased loading from the addition. Calculations <br /> substantiating the lateral performance of the existing structure shall be submitted for review.See <br /> EBC Sections 202, 507, 1103.3.2,and 301.1.4. 1. <br /> See comment above. <br /> 22. Continuing with the previous comment,the existing building includes a change of occupancy due to <br /> the ground floor assembly area. The existing lateral system shall satisfy the requirements of EBC <br /> Sections 1007.2 and 1007.3. The requirements apply to all existing lateral elements regardless of <br /> whether they are subject to increased loading from the addition. <br /> The layout of the ground floor assembly has been updated to keep the occupancy the same. <br /> 23. The new and existing structures are tied together and cannot behave independently. Note that the <br /> east-west direction of the existing building's first story includes stiff wood cripple walls and full- <br /> height concrete walls that will likely attract all of the first story lateral loading.The structural <br /> calculations should include a lateral analysis substantiating the load distribution to both the new <br /> and existing elements. Drag elements and improvements to the existing lateral elements and <br /> anchorages shall be provided as needed.See IBC Sections 1604.4 and 1613.1,and ASCE 7-10 <br /> Sections 12.7.3, 12.10.2,and 12.12.3. <br /> Please refer to attached structural calculations and structural details. Holddown and shearwall <br /> callouts have been added to the plans. <br /> 24. The addition is connected to the existing building to create a single structure.The elements <br /> interconnecting the addition to the existing structure shall have a minimum capacity per ASCE 7-10 <br /> Section 12.1.3.Calculations substantiating the interconnection of the new and existing structures <br /> should be submitted for review. Note that this shall be in addition to the design requirements for <br /> the lateral force resisting systems of the existing structure and the addition. See IBC Section 1613.1 <br /> and ASCE 7-10 Section 12.12.3. <br /> The existing structure will be re-sheathed and upgraded with new holddowns and the new <br /> foundation will be tied into the existing structure. <br /> 25. The construction drawings do not include requirements for the structural diaphragms. The <br /> construction of the diaphragms shall be specified, including but not limited to sheathing grade and <br /> thickness,edge and field nailing, and blocking requirements. See IBC Section 2306.1 and AWC <br /> SDPWS-15 Section 4.2 <br /> Please see the attached structural drawings for diaphragm construction. <br /> 250 4th Avenue South,Suite 200 <br /> Edmonds,WA 98020 <br /> 0 ph.425.778.8500 I f.425.778.5536 <br /> ENGINEERING www.cgengineering.com <br />
