See Special Inspection Table on S-5.0. <br /> 15. See General Fastener Schedule on S-5.0. <br /> • Models of hardware are shown on the plan, make is shown in the <br /> Framing Notes#16 on S-1.0. <br /> 16. See added Roof Truss Note on S-1.0 <br /> 18. Force Transfer Around Opening was used in this project where discontinuous <br /> shearwalls were above beams. This method reinforces the wall panels with collectors and <br /> tension straps allowing the wall to be modeled as a single wall segment with the tension <br /> and compression forces being resolved by the outermost chords. The headers are not <br /> being loaded by the lateral force resisting system. <br /> 19. Please see S-1.2. <br /> 20. The referenced equations pertain to LRFD. This project was designed using <br /> ASD. The holdown and anchor rod specified are tested pre-assembled items with <br /> provided allowable loads based on testing results which have shown to meet code <br /> standards. <br /> All load combinations shown on pg.7 of the calculation package are calculated. <br /> The unfactored seismic holdown forces can be seen on page 13. Attached is a <br /> copy of the background calculation showing the factored seismic tension <br /> holdown force, pg. 67. <br /> Please contact me with any questions concerning this letter.
