Jeff 1 leilman,Development Technician--Public Works Department <br /> RE: Owner: Wong— 19`1'Avenue SF <br /> Jun 0 2018 <br /> Page4 <br /> Documentation verifying the seismic loads in the beam design should be submitted for <br /> review. See IBC Section 1613.1 and ASCE 7-10 Section 12.4.3.2. <br /> e) Continuing with the previous comment,the overturning loads for the second floor beam "B2" <br /> are not equal and opposite for Point 4 and Point 5. The 4.5-kip value for the Point 4 load is <br /> significantly below the 6.9-kip value per page C-24.Note that the loads on this beam should <br /> include the cumulative loads from both the second and third story shear wall holdown forces. <br /> The values of the point loads should be clarified. <br /> 0 The load combinations do not appear to include the vertical seismic component per ASCE 7- <br /> 10 Sections 12.4.2.2 and 12.4.3.2. See the controlling load combinations on page B-13 as an <br /> example. The beam design should be revised. See IBC Section 1613.1. <br /> a) The software analyzes wind and seismic loads in both upward and downward directions. <br /> This is verified by the support reactions show a negative and positive result. <br /> b) The software analyzes all applicable load cases.As mentioned in comment 8,Beam BS on <br /> sheet B-14 is designed to only take overturning loads. <br /> c) See response b) above. <br /> d) The calculations have been updated to design the beams with seismic values prior to taking <br /> out dead load. See updated beam calculations B-14,B-22 and B-26 <br /> e) Point 4 only has one level of overturning force acting. Points 3 and 5 are cumulative <br /> overturning forces. <br /> I) Sheets B-15,B-23 and B-27 have been added to show the beam analysis per sections <br /> 12.4.2.2 and 12.4.3.2 of ASCE 7-10. <br /> 13. The second floor framing specifies TJI 210 joists at the hallway adjacent to the stairway. This <br /> framing is specified as "J2" on page B-14 of the structural calculations. Calculations <br /> substantiating the joist design shall be submitted for review. See IBC Section 1604.1. <br /> Calculation Sheet B-20 has been updated. <br /> Lateral System: <br /> 14. The wind loads used in the lateral analysis on pages C-18 through C-27 appear to be the <br /> allowable values from page C-7. The values do not appear to be ultimate loads as indicated in the <br /> "Shear Wall Loads and Summary" tables. The values of the loads should be verified and the <br /> calculations revised as needed. See IBC Section 1604.4. <br /> All wind values are ultimate loads. The summation of shear values on C-18 match the shear <br /> values on C-7. <br /> 15. The two-foot long first-story wood shear walls on the south building elevation are supported by <br /> concrete wall piers that are approximately 4-feet tall. The concrete walls are approximately one- <br /> half the story height with a 2: 1 aspect ratio. In addition,the walls project above the slabon-grade <br /> while the typical foundation wall does not project above the slab per Detail 10/53.0. The walls are <br /> part of the seismic force resisting system and must be designed accordingly. The following <br /> comments should be addressed: <br /> a) Calculations substantiating the design of the concrete piers shall be submitted for review. See <br /> IBC Sections 1604.1 and 1604.4. <br />
