I've reviewed that section and it appears applicable to your design. I am reviewing it and <br />some other items with the energy calculation with my colleague; I hope to finalize this comment without further <br />questions. I may be able to redline the architectural drawings, and plan to call this morning to discuss. <br />I have a couple of questions for the structural engineer. Please forward these: <br />10a. The original comment stated that the specify connection should be specified in the drawings. The drawings <br />indicate a generic model type. The type and size should be indicated. Note that the headers and posts sizes are not <br />consistent, or multiple sizes may be required. <br />13. This comment has not been completely addressed: <br />The seismic base shear used to design the walls and holdowns is low. It is based on an areas load of 11 <br />psf. The calculations specify a roof load of 12 psf. In addition, the 12 psf value does not include additional weight for <br />the exterior wall and interior partition weight tributary to the roof. The lateral analysis should be revised and the lateral <br />design verified or revised as needed. See ASCE 7-10 Section 12.7.2 Item 2. <br />b. The design values for the HDU2 holdowns, primarily controlled by the shear walls on Grid E, are low. They do <br />not appear sufficient for the uplift force based on the seismic lateral forces (see previous comment) at LRFD force levels <br />and with the overstrength increase per ACI Section 17.2.3.4.3. The design should be revised. <br />c. Note 2 in Details J/52.2, K/S2.2, and L/52.2 appears intended to limit the span of the existing footings over <br />excavations. However, the note phrasing does not limit the span. The note should be reviewed and revised as needed. <br />d. The design has been revised to excavation under the existing load -bearing perimeter foundations to <br />construct the new footings. Sheet S1.3 shall require geotechnical observations to be performed for this project. A <br />list of the required geotechnical observations should be provided. See IBC Sections 107.1 and 107.2.1. The <br />following is a summary: <br />i. Installation of temporary shoring system at excavations (IBC Section 1803.5.10). <br />ii. Movement monitoring of adjacent structures (IBC Sections 1803.5.7 and 1804.1). <br />iii. Placement and compaction of structural backfill (IBC Section 1804.3). <br />e. The design has been revised to drill hold-down anchors through the depth of the foundation walls. Sheet 51.3 <br />shall include a note to perform structural observations in addition to special inspections for post -installed <br />anchors. The structural observations shall verify that the structural integrity of the walls is not <br />compromised. See IBC Section 1704.6.1 Item 5. <br />
