Ms. Janet Monda <br /> Architectural Werks, Inc. <br /> Plan Check Number: B2302-096, First Building Review <br /> March 23, 2023 <br /> Gravity System: <br /> 5. The structure includes large cantilever beams on Grids 4, 6, 7, 8, and 9 supporting the Second <br /> Floor and Roof levels. Additional calculations should be submitted demonstrating the global <br /> stability and back-spans load paths to the foundations. Loads should consider maximum <br /> loading on the cantilevers with minimal resistance on the back-spans (e.g., reduced dead loads, <br /> no non-dead loading, etc.). See IBC Sections 1604.4 and 1605.1. <br /> 6. Continuing with the previous comment, additional calculations substantiating the anchorage of <br /> the back-spans, including but not limited to the beam-column and column foundation <br /> connections, should be submitted for review. See IBC Sections 1604.1 and 1604.2. <br /> Lateral System: <br /> 7. The lateral system include collectors on Grids A, C, 2, and 5 transfer diaphragm forces to the <br /> shear walls. The drawings do not appear to include sufficient details on the connections <br /> between the collector elements and their attachments to the walls. Additional details should be <br /> provided. Calculations substantiating the design of the collectors and connections should be <br /> submitted for review. The structure has a Type 4 Vertical Irregularity per ASCE 7-16 Table <br /> 12.3-2; the collectors and connections should be designed per Section 12.3.3.4. The <br /> calculations should consider concurrent axial and flexural loading per the load combinations of <br /> IBC Section 1605. See IBC Sections 1603.1 and 1604.1. <br /> 8. The 7.5-foot long shear wall on Grid 8.3 has a tributary load of approximately 5.3 kips per <br /> Section L2 of the structural calculations. The wall is connected to the diaphragm on only one <br /> side. The diaphragm does not appear to have sufficient strength. Collectors designed per <br /> ASCE 7-16 Section 12.3.3.4 appear required to provide a load path for the east tributary areas. <br /> Additional calculations substantiating the design should be submitted for review. Additional <br /> framing and details should be included as needed. See IBC Sections 1603.1, 1604.1,1604.2, <br /> and 1604.4. <br /> 9. The Shear Wall Schedule on Sheet S301 specifies two types of sill plate anchors. The design is <br /> presumed to be based on the amendments to ACI 318-14 Section 17.2.3.5.2 per IBC Section <br /> 1905.1.8. The following comments should be addressed: <br /> a. The design loads for the anchor bolts appears to exceed the capacities per AWC NDS-18 <br /> Table 12E. Design capacities should be based on the value(s) for HemFir #2 per Sheet <br /> S000 and modified per Table 11.3.1. Calculations substantiating the capacities should be <br /> submitted for review. See IBC Section 2306.1. <br /> b. Calculations substantiating the capacities of the mudsill anchors should be submitted for <br /> review. It is presumed that the anchors will be substantiated by an ICC testing report or <br /> other approved testing agency. See IBC Sections 104.11 and 1604.1. <br /> 10. The shear wall on Grid 10 does not have a direct connection to the diaphragm. A collector <br /> designed per ASCE 7-16 Section 12.3.3.4 appears required to provide a load path. Additional <br /> calculations substantiating the design should be submitted for review. Additional framing and <br /> details should be included as needed.
