v <br /> Mr. Ross Jameson <br /> 2812 Architecture <br /> Plan Check Number: C1802-019, Second Review (Structural) <br /> September 26, 2018 <br /> Lateral System: <br /> 15.This comment has not been completely addressed. <br /> g. The original comment recommended providing reinforcement per ACI 318-14 Section <br /> 10.7.6.1.6. The response appears to indicate that the reinforcement is not needed due to <br /> the anchor bolts extending to the footing. The intent of the reinforcement is to provide <br /> confinement at the point of load transfer and prevent localized failure of the concrete. <br /> Detail 12/S4.2 does not clearly indicate if additional shear anchorage will be provided, or if <br /> the tension anchors will also provide the shear load path into the walls. The load path <br /> should be clarified. The minimum number of supplemental anchors should be specified. <br /> The needed for confinement reinforcement should be reviewed. <br /> 18. This comment has not been completely addressed. The manufacturer's literature indicates <br /> that a minimum of(26) 8d nails are required for each end length for Hem-Fir framing. Detail <br /> 10/S4.0 only specifies (15) 8d nails. Verify the required nailing for the straps. See IBC Section <br /> 107.2.1. <br /> 19. This comment has not been completely addressed. The original comment stated that <br /> additional holdowns are required. The response states that additional holdowns are not <br /> required straps providing shear transfer around the wall openings. It appears that the walls <br /> may be designed by the Force Transfer method per SDPWS-15 Section 4.3.5.2. Calculations <br /> substantiating the design should be submitted for review. See IBC Sections 1604.4 and <br /> 2306.1. <br /> 21.This comment has not been completely addressed. The tension forces used in the holdown <br /> design on pages C-31 through C-42 are not consistent with the forces determined on pages C- <br /> 17 and C-27. Calculations clarifying the design values should be submitted for review. The <br /> calculations should address the following: <br /> a. The shear wall calculations on pages C-9 through C-17 and C-19 through C-27 appear to <br /> evaluate the walls using wind loads. The calculations appear to reference seismic criteria, <br /> though it is unclear if the seismic loads are also being evaluated. Note that it appears from <br /> other portions of the calculations that the seismic loads partially control the design. Verify <br /> that both wind and seismic loads are considered in the shear wall calculations. <br /> b. The holdown tables are noted as providing ASD-values. However, the tables appear to <br /> reference factored load combinations from IBC Section 1605.2. Verify that factored <br /> combinations have been used, and that the load combinations are not factoring load <br /> components that have been previously reduced for use in ASD load combinations (i.e., all <br /> unfactored load components should be nomimal values). <br /> c. The load combinations shall include vertical seismic effects and overstrength per ASCE 7-10 <br /> Sections 12.4.2.2 and 12.4.3.2 Equation 7. Overstrength is required per ACI 318-14 <br /> Section 17.2.3.4.3. The overstrength factor shall be applied to the earthquake component <br /> only, not the net uplift force after removing resistance due to gravity loading. <br /> Page 3of4 <br /> CITY OF EVERETT• 3200 Cedar Street • Everett, WA 98201 • (425) 257-8810 • Fax(425) 257-8 <br />
