Check B1906-031 <br /> 2721Plan Wetmore Number Avenue <br /> Response to wood frame comments from Second Building Review,October 18, 2019 <br /> Structural: <br /> Item 11 <br /> 11 a to 11 e. Roof Penthouse. See attached supplemental structural calculations for framing at the roof <br /> penthouse roof framing. As shown on Sheet S2.16,the roof framing is specified including the elevator <br /> hoist beam supplied by the elevator manufacturer. Roof sheathing is specified in the Structural Notes <br /> Sheet S1.02 Section 06500. Shear walls for this penthouse shall be Type P6 as shown on S2.16 and <br /> do not require holdowns. RE. S9.02 for added sections at Penthouse roof framing. Penthouse walls to <br /> roof and walls below RE. S9.01 for similar typical details. <br /> Structural/Gravity System: <br /> Item 18 <br /> 18b and 18c. Previously submitted calculations considered the tributary area and corresponding design <br /> loading for each diagonal tension rod and its supporting wood columns. The rods are located at the two <br /> exterior corners of the typical bolted on deck with additional connections along the long side connected <br /> to the rim beam. With deck decking spanning exterior to interior, half the load is to the exterior rim. See <br /> attached calculations confirming that a rod within 9"maximum of the exterior edge is adequate. A <br /> typical deck has two diagonal braces along with two connections along its interior long side attached to <br /> the rim beam. At corner decks, one interior long side and one short side are attached to the building <br /> and one corner is supported by a diagonal brace.This occurs on the north end and south end of the <br /> west side of the building. RE 1/S9.02 for the diagonal brace to post connection and connections to the <br /> rim beam including sub-diaphragm connection to the framing. The prefabricated deck system including <br /> all connections to the rim beam are designed by design by the deck fabricator's structural engineer. <br /> Their design will be reviewed during the shop drawing process and submitted as a differed submittal per <br /> requirements of Structural Notes Section 01005 under the heading Differed Submittals. CTE has met <br /> with the deck fabricator and they understand this requirement. <br /> 18d. The curved decks located on the west side in the center of the building are custom designed <br /> prefabricated decks by others, not CTE. They are a series of cantilevered individual prefabricated decks <br /> connected to the rim beam and adjacent perpendicular framing, with include curved fascia beams. RE <br /> Arch Sheet A-10.0 and 6 &8/S9.02. See response to Item 18a and 18b above regarding differed <br /> submittal of all prefabricated deck and rail systems. RE supplemental calculations confirming the <br /> connection of these prefabricated cantilevered decks to the building. All connections will be verified <br /> again and all deck designs will be will be part of the differed submittal package including calculations by <br /> the deck fabricators engineer(not CTE.) Please note we have reviewed our details with the deck <br /> fabricator and they have confirmed the CTE details are OK with their system. They understand the <br /> requirement for calculations by their engineer as part of the differed submittal. <br /> Lateral System: <br /> Item 39 <br /> 39a. Building story shears based on Equation 12.8-12 and wood diaphragm story shears based on <br /> Equation 12.10-1 were previously submitted. See attached copy from the supplemental calculations <br /> submitted in September 2019,for story shears and maximum diaphragm shears and diaphragm <br /> capacities. In the attached supplemental calculations we have corrected the diaphragm calculation to <br /> use diaphragm shears and confirm we are within code limits. Please also reference typical Detail <br /> 7/S9.00 for typical strap at the end of each wood frame shear wall attaching sub diaphragms to the end <br /> of each shear wall. <br /> 39b. Reference the structural notes Sheet S1.02 Section 06500 for specified floor and roof sheathing. It <br /> appears the reviewer did not review the structural notes when incorrectly assuming it was missing. <br /> 39c. Confirming,the previously submitted design of the wood frame lateral force resisting system and <br /> horizontal distribution of shears considered the open diaphragm configuration and associated torsional <br /> Page 12 -7) <br />
