Ms. Nadia Azarova <br /> Craft Architects <br /> Plan Check Number: B1808-012, First Review <br /> October 1, 2018 <br /> the diaphragms should be performed to determine their deflections and verify if additional load <br /> will be attracted to the mezzanine level. See IBC Sections 1613.1 and ASCE 7-10 Section <br /> 12.7.3. <br /> 6. Sheet S2.1 specifies connection of the diaphragm to the concrete wall panels using 5/8" <br /> diameter threaded rods with a 5"embedment at 18"on-center. Calculations substantiating the <br /> connection should be submitted for review. Note that the connection forces have been <br /> calculated using ASD load combinations; LRFD-based loads shall be used to verify the <br /> anchorage design. See IBC Section 1901.2 and ACI 318-14 Section 17.4, <br /> 7. The diaphragm analysis on calculation page 5 is based on a diaphragm connection length to <br /> the shear walls of 37 feet. However, the wall length on Grid F.6 is only 20 feet long. The <br /> diaphragm design should be revised. Alternatively, the diaphragm should be provided with a <br /> collector. Calculations substantiating the design of the collector, including the connection to <br /> the shear wall, should be submitted for review. A detail for the collector connection should be <br /> included in the structural drawings. See IBC Sections 107.2.1, 1604.1, 1604.4, and 1613.1, <br /> and ASCe 7-10 Section 12.10.2.1. <br /> 8. Design uplift forces on the shear walls are calculated on pages 9 and 10. The shear wall <br /> holdown design has not been provided in the structural calculations. The earthquake <br /> component of the holdown forces exceeds 20% of the total uplift. The earthquake component <br /> shall be increased per the provisions of ACI 318-14 Section 17.2.3.4.3. Calculations <br /> substantiating the holdown design should be submitted for review. Note that the uplift forces <br /> have been calculated using ASD load combinations; LRFD-based loads shall be used to verify <br /> the anchorage design. See IBC Section 1901.2. <br /> Miscellaneous: <br /> 9. Sheet A5.6 shows plans and elevations for an elevator. The following comments should be <br /> addressed: <br /> a. The elevator design drawings should be included in the list of deferred submittals in the <br /> Structural General Notes. See IBC Section 107.3.4.1. <br /> b. The design loads for the elevator system, including impact loading, should be specified in <br /> the"Design Criteria and Loads"section of the Structural General Notes. At a minimum, <br /> estimated design loads should be specified for the design, and verified when the elevator <br /> design drawings are submitted for review. See IBC Sections 1603.1.8 and 1607.9.1. <br /> c. The building structure (i.e., elevator shaft and supporting floor framing) that supports <br /> components of the elevator system is included in the current submittal drawings. <br /> Calculations substantiating the design of the structure to support the elevator loads <br /> concurrently with other loads should be submitted for review. The calculations should <br /> include the evaluation of deflection limits per IBC Section 1607.9.1. The design shall <br /> consider concurrent multi-directional loading as determined by the elevator manufacturer. <br /> See IBC Sections 1604.2 and 1605. <br /> d. The connections between the elevator guide rails and the structural framing are typically <br /> the responsibility of the engineer-of-record for the building system.
