A connection is required from existing foundation to new foundation for the interior <br />foundation. <br />Use (2) #4 bars at stem wall and (2) #4 bars at footing, centered and equally spaced <br />with no less than 3" from any edge. The rebar should be embedded 3" minimum to <br />existing foundation with SET epoxy and should be embedded 12" into new foundation. <br />2. An STHD14 was locared in the wrong place. <br />Any STHD14/14RJ holdown may be retrofit using HDQB-SDS3 holdown with 7/8" <br />threaded rod to top of stem embedded 6" minimum with SET epoxy. <br />3. The RSW foundation was poured in the wrong location to the reversed plan used. <br />It is intended to eliminate the need for raised shear walls in this structure. The result is <br />the remaining shear wall is to be built per SW-3 REVISED. Please see the attached <br />revised shear wall schedule for the new SW-3 specifications. Also an HDQ8-SDS3 <br />retrofit holdown, as described in item 2 above must be installed at each end of the new <br />SW-3. <br />Should there be any questions or comments please contact our o�ce. <br />Sincere� <br />�� <br />� <br />Andrew Gahan, PE <br />OB-542 (amg) Lelter 0810 �� <br />
