STRUCTURAL COMMENTS
CALCULATION
1. Lateral loads analysis. Package submitted for review is missing seismic
calculation, there is only wind load calculation can be found. Please
provide copy of balance of calculations or indicate why only the wind
load governs the lateral load design.
2. Provide diaphragm design to make sure the maximum diaphragm
dimension ratio (4:1) is within code limit per IBC table 2305.2.3. Provide
design, detail and calculation for each diaphragm chord, collector, drag
force, boundary element, blocking, and strap. Please indicate the
assumed dimension of diaphragms in your calculations.
3. Provide drag strut analysis calculation along grid line 5 since the shear wall
have to sustain lateral loads coming from both garage and maim
building. Drag strut connection detail should be provided for wall
openings.
DRAWINGS
4. General -- Fasteners for preservative -treated and fire -retardant -treated
wood shall be of hot -dipped zinc -coated galvanized steel, stainless steel,
silicon bronze or copper. Coating weights for zinc -coated fasteners shall
be in accordance with ASTM A153. Reference Section IBC
Sec.2304.9.5 & IRC Sec. 319.3
S. Sheet 52.2 & 2.3, Interior shear walls, do not line up with framing lines
above. Provide section cutfdetails to address diaphragm load path
continuity. In other words, what is the connection between the floor and
the wall? Is it good enough to resist the lateral shear force? IBC section
1620.2.6. Collector element.
6. Sheet S 2,2, Can't find shear wall symbol along grid line A & A.2 in the
garage. Is it the design intention to have this cantilever diaphragm? If it
is, please check deflection and verify the adequacy of the diaphragm.
7. Sheet S 2.2, It appears the 2- ft long shear wall SW -4 between grid line 4 &
5 along E does not comply with the maximum shear wall aspect ratio per
IBC table 2305.3.3. Please clarify.
8. Sheet S 2.2, Please call out naturally durable woods or treated wood for the
structural members that are exposed to weather, such as the deck
framing and so on. Reference to A3.1 building section C -C, D -D. IBC.
2304.11.5.

9. Sheet S 2.3. It appears that some of the E -W direction shear walls are
missing. Please resolve.
10. Sheet S 3.3. Detail 27 shows deck frame member to rim are connected by
nails. Wood deck attached to the exterior wall shall be designed to resist
both vertical and lateral loads. Such connection shall not be
accomplished by the use of nail subject to withdrawal per IRC R 502.2.1
Additional corrections may be required following receipt of corrections and additional
information as requested
Your plans are being reviewed concurrently with the Building Department, Fite
Department, Zoning Department and Public Works Engineering. Changes, clarifications
or additional corrections may be required subsequent to the Building Department plan
review when comments are received from the other concerned departments.
Should you have any inquiries regarding this letter, please contact 8JY at
