5. PARTS ARL+A 5.1 Structural Description f 7 The Parts Area building ia basically one story freme construction with a � light frame szcond atocy covering the weat part. Th1s upper story is an � extenoion of the second atory of the Service Entry building. The lower � story coneiete of heavy timber roof decking aupported by glued laminated beaas and freme bearing wulle. The beams are 3upported by three steel , pipe coluame az�d frame bearing'walls. The beams were reportedly reused from a previous building. 5.2 Structurttl Deficiencies Tlie major structurul deficiency in thia area is the lack of sufficient resietance to lsteral forcea in the north-south direction. An additional de:iciency is the overlonding of the timber decking by the bearing walls of the eecond story, where thie occurs. There are no signs of serious deflecCion or failure of che tim6=r decking due to thSs overloading and it doee not appear to be a aerious deficiency. 5.3 RECOMMENDATZONS Provlde lateral resistance in the north-south direction by sheathing the eaet aztd west walls of thie area with plywood, inetalling framing anchors ai the top of the walls and providing additional bulting to the slab at the bottom �f the walls. 'i'he modifications to the west wall of [his ar�a were mentioned in paragraph 4.3 above. Wc do not recoffinend that anything be done at present co reinforce the timber decking for the loade of the upper story since it does not appear [o be ha�-ing any aerious eFfects. In the event the condition becomas more aerioue in the future, consideration should be given [o adding joist b=tween the glued laminated beams [o support these loads. � k � `� ;��U7 �cr ;. �'j. c��__: �,- .
