The <br /> sprinkler bracing should be either replaced or reviewed by the sprinkler installer for the new <br /> location. <br /> As the photo in Figure 2 shows,there is a 3,000-pound maximum load rating per-shelf that is <br /> clearly posted on each frame. Per our calculations,the rack framing has adequate capacity to <br /> resist the rated load adequately, based on maintaining the current beam and post spacing. As <br /> noted above,the installer should verify the connection, which cannot be observed at this time. <br /> Conclusions and Recommendations <br /> The storage rack beams and posts appear to be acceptable for the 3,000-pound-per-shelf load <br /> limit noted on their signage. The storage rack posts shall be adequately secured to the slab on <br /> grade at the new installation location,per details in the structural drawings. Beam-to-post <br /> connection shall be reviewed by the installer and must be adequately fastened to meet <br /> manufacturer requirements. All connection holes shall be filled at each connection. <br /> Exclusions and Limitations <br /> Reid Middleton's findings are based on visual observations only.No destructive or material <br /> testing was performed as part of this assessment. The rack members and materials are <br /> assumed to meet the manufacturer's specifications and have not been altered or damaged. See <br /> the calculations for additional information about members and materials. During the <br /> relocation, rack elements should be reviewed by the installer and any damage should be <br /> reported immediately. Connections cannot be verified without rack disassembly and should <br /> also be reviewed by the installer,to verify that they meet the manufacturer's requirements. <br /> Further, it is our assumption that the existing slab system at Building 40-03 matches or <br /> exceeds the slab thickness in Building 40-31. Our design assumes that the slab at both <br /> buildings is slab on grade and does not occur over basement or utility vault locations. <br /> If you have any questions or comments, please call me. <br /> in S cerley, <br /> �KAN <br /> was I-< <br /> O <br /> • <br /> t van <br /> Paul Crocker, P.E., S.E. 121�a r37358 44'w 9/11/2023 <br /> Principal Engineer `� eUL Er��` �' <br /> SIpNAL <br /> Attachments: Structural calculations for existing rack framing capacities. <br /> ehw\O:\23\057 Bldg 40-05 PRIT PRAT Tool Relocation\Reports\2023.08.31 Observed Existing Condition of Storage Racks <br /> -Letter.docx\sh <br /> Reid iddleton <br /> 313 <br />
