Our responses are shown in bold after each comment. <br /> General <br /> 1. The mezzanine framing plan provided on sheet S1.1 appears to be cropped in such a <br /> way that specific engineering notation for the purpose of construction cannot be read. <br /> Please revise, and any other margin errors alike, per section 107.2 of the 2018 IBC. <br /> Response: AutoCAD window adjusted to show all tent. <br /> Structural <br /> 1. Please provide anchorage calculations for the connections between the existing <br /> walls/beams and any new structural elements whose reactions subject existing elements <br /> to new loading. Additionally, please provide calculations which apply structural analysis <br /> to the reactions propagated throughout the existing building elements due to the <br /> alteration in a manner which provides a complete load path (see Section 1.4 of ASCE 7- <br /> 16). Alternatively, provide an evaluation meeting the provisions of Sections 503.3 and <br /> 503.4 of the 2018 IEBC (or via non-prescriptive methods)that shows that the addition <br /> will not require retrofit to the existing structure due to either gravity or seismic. <br /> Response: Refer to attached additional calculations in the addendum. <br /> 2. It appears that Details 4/S3.1 and 5/S3.1 show a Simpson HTT hold-down which is not <br /> shown on the architectural plans and may impede the walkways/rooms of the mezzanine <br /> floor. Please coordinate this design with the architectural sheets. <br /> Response: The HTT hold downs are at the exterior walls. Architect and contractor <br /> are aware of the hold downs,which are going to be in the insulated wall areas <br /> inset from the tilt wall panels.The contractor is installing a special felt-type <br /> flooring over the straps and then a wood subfloor over the top, so the straps are 2215 North 30th Street <br /> not going to be an issue.
