RE: Report of Special Inspection: Replace rotted OSB under siding and deck framing
850 Edmonds St
Plan Check BLD2021-0215
Compliance: Burt Engineering was hired to perform the structural inspection of the wood
framing assemblies related to the replacement of exterior wall framing and sheathing materials at
850 Edmonds St. We were also hired to perform the special inspection of the Epoxy anchors for
the shear walls supporting the deck structures near the east side of the house. We visited the site
on numerous occasions and observed the installations accordingly.
Sheathing installation: Sheathing installation was performed in accordance with our
drawings and the standard of care for such work. Special inspection of the sheathing
installation was not warranted, so our inspection was limited to framing placement,
sheathing installation, and nailing. Note that where the rim joist was exposed, sheathing
was placed with LTP connectors for shear transfer. Blocking was added where
necessary. This installation is deemed appropriate for the given conditions.
2. Anchor installation: Per ICC-ESR 2508, adhesive anchors were installed with special
inspection in accordance with Section 1705 of the IBC.
Anchor description and adhesive: The anchors were 5/8" diameter ASTM A307 threaded
rod. The anchor length varied but exceeded the minimum specified in all cases. The
adhesive product was Simpson SET-XP, expiring July 2022.
Hole preparation: Holes were drilled with a Bosch rotary hammer, using bits in
compliance with ANSI B212.15-1994. All holes were drilled 0.75" diameter to prepared
according to the permit drawings and per Figure 2 of the ES Report. All holes were
properly blown, brushed, and blown again, per the installation instructions.
Final torque: After curing, each anchor was torqued to 30 ft-lb. The anchors held
without slipping.
