Ef1GIf1EER5 <br /> g Washington <br /> Oregon <br /> California September 6, 2018 <br /> Texas <br /> Alaska Charlie Morgan Jr. <br /> Colorado 7301 Beverly Lane <br /> g Montana Everett, WA 98203 <br /> The following structural comments are in response to the initial building permit <br /> review: <br /> Structural <br /> 1. On Sheet S2.1 Grid 1/E and Sheet C4.1 in the Civil Drawing set,there is a 'Flow Control <br /> Structure"with a rim elevation of 188.50 feet. The top of slab on this sheet is 181 '9 <br /> Please clarify if a site retaining wall is required at this location and if the opening shown <br /> in this area needs to revised or relocated based on the proposed rim elevation of the 'Flow <br /> Control Structure': <br /> The architect confirmed the flow structure is "well away" from the nearest concrete <br /> foundation/retaining wall. <br /> 2. It appears that the redundancy factor, p, of 1.0, per ASCE 7-10 12.3.4.2, was included <br /> in the design of the lateral systems in either the concrete or the wood portions of the <br /> structure. Please provide supporting calculations to verify that these lateral systems in <br /> both orthogonal directions meet the requirements of p= 1.0. Otherwise,please provide <br /> design calculations and revise the lateral design as required to satisfy the increase due to <br /> the redundancy factor,p=1.3. <br /> Proved redundancy does exist per ASCE 12.3.4.2 "a." in conjunction with table 12.3-3, <br /> see hand calculations under"lateral analysis design." <br /> 3. Based on the use of the Equivalent Lateral Force procedure in ASCE 7-10 Sec 12.8. Please <br /> provide drift calculations to verify that the Torsional Amplification factor,Ax,does not <br /> need to be increased more than 1.0 per ASCE 7-10 12.8.4.3. <br /> This is not applicable due to there being no torsional or extreme torsional irregularity <br /> (see comment 4). <br /> 4. Please provide checks for structural irregularities for both structures concrete and wood <br /> portions per Tables 12.3-1 and 12.3-2 in ASCE 7-10. <br />
