6. SHOP AREA <br />6.1 Structurul Description <br />The Shop Area building ie a one-story structure with heavy timber roof <br />decking supported by sawn and glued lamtnated beams and glued laminated <br />girdere. Theae beams and girdere are eupported by concre[e piers, with <br />several concrete maeonry bearing walls at the east end. A frame bearing <br />wall occurs at [he c:est end of this building. The glued laminated beams <br />and girders were reportedly reused from a previous building. <br />6.2 Structural Deficiencies <br />Thie building has two structural deficiencies requiring corrective action. <br />The building has insufficient reaistance to lateral forces in the north- <br />south direction. Although the masonry east wall is adequate the connection <br />to the roof at the top qf the wall appeara to be inadequate. '1'he frame <br />west wall is sheathed wit:h plasterboard and providee almost no resistance <br />to north-soutli laterul forces. Lateral Eorces in the east-wes[ direction <br />are reaieted adeZua[ely Uy the concrete piers acting as cantilevered <br />nolu�ta, <br />Three sawn beams aunporting the roof decking in Che eas[ bay are over- <br />atresaed and sagging. <br />6.3 Reconaoendations <br />Provide increased lateral strength by sheathing the Erame west wall with <br />plywoed and reinforcing the top and bottom as described in paragraph 5.3 <br />above. <br />Inetall framing anchors at the top of the masonry oast wall to insure <br />sufficient shear connection between the roof and wall to transmit la[eral <br />forces. <br />Inatall three new 6eams in the east bay to provide suflicient s[rength. <br />MARTENS/KRATZ 6 �tiSOCiATES <br />� � � <br />� /, <br />3� � <br />bY a l � /r . <br />1�� <br />RALPH TZ, P.F. <br />Partner <br />' <br />__, :-.,� - � , _ , <br />��_>� ,' �;'L_'-.. � i.._<.-'.,.
