r <br /> r <br /> particular the post-installed expansion anchors, should be submitted for review. See <br /> IBC Section 1901.2 and ACI 318-14 Chapter 17. The following should be considered: <br /> a. The capacities should be based on unreinforced concrete unless it can be shown <br /> that confinement of the concrete around the anchor is provided. <br /> b. The slab appears to include a light-weight topping slab that is not monolithically- <br /> constructed or adhered to the hollow-core slabs. The thickness of the topping <br /> slab should not be considered in the design. <br /> c. Detail 1/S1.4 appears to indicate that the anchors will be installed through a <br /> formed shell backed by grout fill. These conditions should be verified. If the <br /> formed shell or grout fill does not exist at this location, the connection should be <br /> revised. <br /> d. Detail 2/S1.4 appears to indicate a full depth joint between the abutting ends of <br /> the hollow-core slabs. If this occurs, then the available depth of solid concrete is <br /> not sufficient provide proposed 6-inch long anchor. In addition, the concrete <br /> block is not positively connected to the remainder of the structure and should <br /> not be used for support of the infill slab. <br /> 14.The infill area between Grids E-F/2-3 is framed by existing steel beams that support the <br /> hollow-core floor slabs. Detail 3/S1.4 indicates that the top flanges of two W14 beams <br /> will be coped and have bolts removed. Calculations substantiating their modified <br /> capacities should be submitted for review. See IBC Sections 1604.2 and 1604.4, and <br /> IEBC Section 807.4. <br /> 15. Continuing with the previous comment, Detail 3/S1.4 indicates that longitudinal <br /> reinforcement will pass through holes in the webs of the existing W14 beams. It <br /> appears that the intended load path is for the W14 beam end to hang off the <br /> reinforcement in the concrete beam. This is not an acceptable load path to transfer <br /> loads into the concrete beam. The connection should be revised. See IBC Sections <br /> 1604.4 and 1901.2. <br /> In order for the processing of your application to continue, it will be necessary to provide the <br /> Building Division with two new sets of revised construction documents reflecting the corrections <br /> requested. Please include a response letter which indicates how the corrections were resolved. <br /> All codes cited refer to the 2015 International Building Code (IBC), 2015 International Existing <br /> Building Code (IEBC), the 2015 International Fire Code (IFC), the 2015 International Mechanical <br /> Code (IMC), and/or the 2015 Washington State Energy Code (WSEC), as amended by the State <br /> of Washington and adopted by the City of Everett. The current IBC referenced standard for <br /> accessible design is the 2009 "Accessible and Usable Buildings and Facilities" (ICC/ANSI <br /> A117.1). Federal ADA regulations and standards may be more restrictive. <br /> These comments address building issues only. Additional revisions or additions may be required <br /> by other departments (such as Utilities, Traffic, Planning or Fire). All required submittals must <br /> be of sufficient detail and information to ensure that the proposed structure will be constructed <br /> in compliance with all adopted codes. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Tony Lee Bradley A.
