• • <br /> Structural: <br /> 17. The proposed project includes structural work. Structural drawing should be submitted that include <br /> framing plans, sections, details, construction schedules, fastening schedules, materials requirements, <br /> general notes, special inspection requirements, etc. The drawings should substantiate compliance with <br /> the prescriptive requirements of the IRC. See IRC Sections R106.1.1 and R301.1. <br /> 18. The modified load paths should comply with the prescriptive limitations of the IRC. Alternatively, an <br /> engineered analysis and design may be performed per IRC Section R301.1.3; sealed and signed drawings <br /> and calculations prepared by a professional engineer licensed in the state of Washington are required per <br /> RCW 18.43.010, 18.43.020, and 18.43.070. See IRC Section R301.1. <br /> 19. The project appears intended to include prefabricated roof trusses. See IRC Section R802.10. The <br /> following comments should be addressed: <br /> a. The design criteria for the trusses should be specified in the drawings. See Table R301.2(1) and EMC <br /> Section 16.01.010(J). <br /> b. The drawings should include a note specifying the following: <br /> i. The trusses should be designed by a professional engineer licensed in the state of Washington. <br /> ii. The truss construction drawings and calculations should bear the seal and signature of the engineer <br /> performing the design. <br /> iii. The truss design should be reviewed for conformance with the approved construction drawings <br /> and the referenced building codes, and approved for construction by the designer-of-record for the <br /> approved drawings, prior to fabrication and erection. <br /> c. The exterior walls will require stability bracing where the wall framing is not continuous from the <br /> foundation to the roof sheathing (i.e., the exterior walls are topped with end trusses). Details and <br /> calculations for the bracing should be submitted for review. Note that the bracing is not designed by <br /> the truss manufacturer, nor is the truss stability bracing intended to address this requirement. <br /> 20. Foundations should comply with IRC Chapter 4. Wood-framed construction on foundations should comply <br /> with Section R317.1, including clearance per Item 5. <br /> 21. Headers should comply with IRC Section R602.7. King and jamb studs should be specified for each header <br /> per Section R602.7.5. <br /> 22. Details for the construction of the new walls should be included. The details should specify connections <br /> for the top and bottom framing plates to the existing structure. See IRC Sections R106.1.1 and R301.1. <br /> 23. The building is required to have braced walls complying with IRC Section R602.10. The construction <br /> requirements of the braced walls, including anchorage to the foundations, should be included in the <br /> drawings. Note that connections to existing foundations using post-installed concrete anchors will require <br /> an engineered design. The locations of the braced walls should be specified in the plans. See IRC Section <br /> R106.1.3. <br /> 24. A general fastener schedule should be provided per IRC Table R602.3(1). Providing a reference to this <br /> table in the drawings does not satisfy this requirement. In addition,the make and model of proprietary <br /> hardware should be specified where used for connections. <br /> 3I4 <br />
