2. The Roof Framing Plan on Sheet S2.1 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 <br />IBC Sections 107.2.1 and 1603. L <br />Response: Wide -flange drag strut sizes have been added to the Roof Plan on Sheet S2.1 <br />3. Detail P/S5.0 appears to indicate that the roof trusses provide the out -of -plane support for the concrete <br />walls and references Sheet S3.1. The required loading on this sheet should be clarified. See IBC Sections <br />107.2.1 and 1603.1.8. <br />Response: The top chord tie force (axial load for out -of -plane support of the concrete wall) load <br />diagram has been provided on Sheet SM <br />4. The Roof Framing Plan on Sheet S2.1 appears to specify out -of -plane support for the concrete walls per <br />Detail A/S5.0 at multiple locations, including but not limited to Grids 1, 1.5, 7.5, 8, M, M.5, and P. Detail <br />A appears to rely on a connection that will induce cross -grain bending in the ledger, which is not permitted <br />per IBC Section 1613.1 and ASCE 7-10 Section 12.11.2.2.3. The connection should be revised. <br />Calculations substantiating the connection should be submitted for review. See IBC Section 1604.1. <br />Response: Section A-5.1 has been added to Sheet S5.1 to support the concrete walls for out -of -plane <br />loading. Calculations can be found on Page R-56 of the calculation package. <br />5. The diaphragms should be provided with continuous cross -ties across the building diaphragm per IBC <br />Section 1613.5.1. The typical connection shown in Detail E/S5.0 for the abutting trusses does not appear <br />to include a connection. The design should be revised. The spacing of the cross -ties should be specified. <br />Response: Each bar joist serves as a continuous cross -tie across the building. The weld of the bar <br />joist seat to the joist girder top chord (Section E-5.0) provides continuity of load transfer. There is a <br />note on this section for the joist manufacturer to account for this loading condition. <br />6. Continuing with the previous comment, the cross -ties are required to develop the cumulative shear loading <br />from the subdiaphragms at the building perimeter and distribute it into the roof diaphragm. Axial loads <br />for the trusses designated as part of the cross -ties should be specified. Alternatively, all trusses supporting <br />the exterior walls should be interconnected for a minimum diaphragm ratio of 2.5:1. See IBC Sections <br />1603.1.8 and 1613.5.1. <br />Response: The top chord tie force load diagram has been provided on Sheet SM which also <br />includes cross -tie loads created by subdiaphragms. <br />If you have any questions please don't hesitate to call us, we would be happy to clear them up. <br />Regards, <br />C on T ompson <br />Project Engineer <br />
