09/16/2020 <br />Todd Schutz - Nelson Worldwide <br />Page 3 <br />2. The Roof Framing Plan on Sheet 52.1 appears to indicate unspecified wide -flange drag struts at multiple <br />locations, including but not limited to Grids L, 2, and 7. The required framing should be specified. See IBC <br />Sections 107.2.1 and 1603.1. <br />RESPONSE: Please see response letter from Shutler Consulting Engineers Inc. <br />3. Detail P/55.0 appears to indicate that the roof trusses provide the out -of -plane support for the concrete walls <br />and references Sheet 53.1. The required loading on this sheet should be clarified. See IBC Sections 107.2.1 and <br />1603.1.8. <br />RESPONSE: Please see response letter from Shutler Consulting Engineers Inc. <br />4. The Roof Framing Plan on Sheet 52.1 appears to specify out -of -plane support for the concrete walls per Detail <br />A/55.0 at multiple locations, including but not limited to Grids 1,1.5, 7.5, 8, M, M.S, and P. Detail A appears to <br />rely on a connection that will induce cross -grain bending in the ledger, which is not permitted per IBC Section <br />1613.1 and ASCE 7-10 Section 12.11.2.2.3. The connection should be revised. Calculations substantiating the <br />connection should be submitted for review. See IBC Section 1604.1. <br />RESPONSE: Please see response letter from Shutler Consulting Engineers Inc. <br />5. The diaphragms should be provided with continuous cross -ties across the building diaphragm per IBC Section <br />1613.5.1. The typical connection shown in Detail E/55.0 for the abutting trusses does not appear to include a <br />connection. The design should be revised. The spacing of the cross -ties should be specified. <br />RESPONSE: Please see response letter from Shutler Consulting Engineers Inc. <br />6. Continuing with the previous comment, the cross -ties are required to develop the cumulative shear loading <br />from the sub diaphragms at the building perimeter and distribute it into the roof diaphragm. Axial loads for <br />the trusses designated as part of the cross -ties should be specified. Alternatively, all trusses supporting the <br />exterior walls should be interconnected for a minimum diaphragm ratio of 2.5:1. See IBC Sections 1603.1.8 <br />and 1613.5.1. <br />RESPONSE: Please see response letter from Shutler Consulting Engineers Inc. <br />We hope this information answers your questions and concerns satisfactorily. Please contact me to discuss further <br />if you should need additional information or clarification and thank you for your attention to this matter. <br />
