On sheet 1 Looney Deck & Cover Plans:
1.Detail A/1 Detail @ Post & Deck Beam Clarify the callout for the four 16-inch diameter
Sonotube footings to be used to support the loads below the two beams referenced in the
above review comments. They appear to be undersized for the loads anticipated by the
Load
represented construction. The response to the plan review comment states:
Distribution @ Footings: Remove direct post to footing load & spread as shown
below.
. The placement of a beam between the lower end of the load-bearing posts and the
footing below does little to distribute the loads to the footings differently than that
previously represented. The loads will pass-through the beam to the footing directly
below. Since all four of the footings are undersized, and the supported loads are the same,
either the size or the number of the footings needs to be increased.
