• • 2. The capacity of any vertical gravity load-carrying component, or any group of such components, that supports more than 30 percent of the total area of the structure's floor(s) and roof(s) has been reduced more than 20 percent from its pre-damage condition and the remaining capacity of such affected elements, with respect to all dead and live loads, is less than 75 percent of that required by this code for new buildings of similar structure,purpose and location. It is our opinion that the impact damage is not considered substantial structural damage per the IEBC since the damaged elements account for: 1. Significantly less than 33%of the vertical elements of the lateral force-resisting systems. (2'of damaged wall accounts for approximately 1 1%of the lateral force- resisting system in the north-south direction,and 4' of damaged wall accounts for approximately 5%of the lateral force-resisting system in the east-west direction.) 2. Significantly less than 30%of the vertical elements of the gravity load-carrying components supporting the roof/floor. (The damaged wall sections support a total of approximately 4%of the roof area.) REPAIRS Section 404 of the IEBC applies for the repair design of this building. Since the damage is considered less than substantial structural damage, Section 404.4 of the IEBC states, "...repairs shall be allowed that restore the building to its pre-damage state. New structural members and connections used for this repair shall comply with the detailing provisions of the International Building Code... " Therefore,we are not required by code to review and/or upgrade the building or the front of the building for lateral or gravity forces. Our recommendations for the repair include removing the damaged framing elements, installing new wall framing/sheathing,and installing new anchor bolts that are detailed to comply with the 2015 International Building Code(IBC). ALTERATIONS Alterations to the front(west side)of the building are as follows: • Remove the brick along the front(west side)of the building. • Remove the existing windows(7'-6"wide by 3'-4"tall and 8'-9"wide by 3'-4"tall) and install new energy code compliant windows that match the building's original window configuration (7'-6"wide by 6'-0"tall and 8'-9"wide by 6'-0"tall). • Remove the existing entry door and install a new code-compliant entry door to match the existing size. • Install new wood siding. Section 403 of the IEBC applies for the alterations. There are no changes in the gravity or lateral load carrying characteristics of the building based on the installation of the new windows or door. The windows are being reinstalled to the size that existed when the front of the structure was originally constructed. We have noted on our design drawings,however, that if no header is found over the windows,then a new header should be installed. We are specifying that the new windows and door meet the energy code requirements of the 2015 Washington State Commercial Energy Code. The new door shall have ADA compliant hardware. No other requirements of Section 403 apply. 19251 1[r code.2/5/20 23
