CUSTOM DESIGN & ENGINEERING, INC d h <br />STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING <br />4. The number and spacing of the deck stair stringers in the Framing Plan on <br />Sheet 52.1 is not clear. The joist spacing and spans should not exceed Table <br />R3O2.3.1(2) considering a minimum 40 pat live load. Joists should be based on the net <br />depth after notching for stairs. Additional sistered framing maybe required for strength <br />and is recommended to control deflections, fasteners should be specified. See Sections <br />R106. 1.1 and R301.1 <br />The stair stringer Information has been clarified on the plans. Refer to the revised <br />upper floor framing plan. In addition, new detail 8153.0 has additional connection <br />information that is required. <br />5. The Upper Plan 27A2.2 includes a new window opening in the south exterior wall. A <br />header, and king andjamb studs, should be specified. See Sections R1O6. 1.1 and <br />R602.7 <br />These headers have been called out on plan. Typical header is per 6/56.0. Supports <br />per framing plan note 5. Please refer to revised drawings. <br />5. The Roof Framing Plan on Sheet 52.2 includes discontinuous shear walls supported by a <br />beam at the new addition. Multiple shear walls appear to be discontinuous and transfer <br />holdown loads through supporting beams. The beams are required to be designed for <br />seismic loads including ovwstrength perASCE 7-16 Section 12.3.3.3. The design loads <br />should include vertical load effects per Section 12.4.2.2. Calculations substantiating the <br />design should be submitted for review. See IBC Sections 1604.1 and 1604.4. <br />These headers have been called out on plan. Typical header is per 6186.0. Supports <br />per framing plan note 5. Please refer to revised drawings. <br />7. Structural calculations for the shear wall holdown anchorage to the concrete foundations <br />should be submitted for review. The earthquake component of the uplift forces exceeds <br />20% of the total uplift (i. e., the earthquake force is 100% of uplift force). The earthquake <br />component should be increased per the provisions of ACI 318-14 Section 17.2.3.4.3. The <br />design load should include the vertical seismic load effect per Section 12.4.2.2. See IBC <br />Sections 1604.10, 1613. 1, and 1901.2. <br />A calculation for the worse case seismic hold-down force (with omega <br />amplification) to meet requirements of ACI 318.14 has been provided. Please refer <br />to the revised calculations. The Epoxy hold-down bolt criteria listed on detail 81S3.0 <br />is acceptable per this calculation. <br />6021 ROOSEVELT WAY NE, SEATTLE, WA 96115 <br />PHONE (425) 268-5946 - CGENGR.COM <br />
