| | 1. DESIGN PRESSURES APPEAR TOO LOW FOR THIS STRUCTURE. |
| | EITHER REVISE EXPOSURE CATEGORY (TO EXPOSURE C) OR |
| | PROVIDE CALCULATIONS FOR EXPOSURE B PRESSURES (SEE |
| | TRANSITION ZONE BELOW). NOTE THAT CLEAR LAKE IS TO THE |
| | EAST, A GOLF COURSE TO THE SOUTH. FBC1609, FBC |
| | R301.2.1.4. NOTE THAT THE CODE CHANGED EFFECTIVE MARCH |
| | 1, 2009. |
| | |
| | FBC1609.4 EXPOSURE CATEGORY. FOR EACH WIND DIRECTION |
| | CONSIDERED, AN EXPOSURE CATEGORY THAT ADEQUATELY |
| | REFLECTS THE CHARACTERISTICS OF GROUND SURFACE |
| | IRREGULARITIES SHALL BE DETERMINED FOR THE SITE AT |
| | WHICH THE BUILDING OR STRUCTURE IS TO BE CONSTRUCTED. |
| | FOR A SITE LOCATED IN THE TRANSITION ZONE BETWEEN |
| | CATEGORIES, THE CATEGORY RESULTING IN THE LARGEST WIND |
| | FORCES SHALL APPLY. ACCOUNT SHALL BE TAKEN OF |
| | VARIATIONS IN GROUND SURFACE ROUGHNESS THAT ARISE FROM |
| | NATURAL TOPOGRAPHY AND VEGETATION AS WELL AS FROM |
| | CONSTRUCTED FEATURES. FOR ANY GIVEN WIND DIRECTION, THE |
| | EXPOSURE IN WHICH A SPECIFIC BUILDING OR OTHER |
| | STRUCTURE IS SITED SHALL BE ASSESSED AS BEING ONE OF |
| | THE FOLLOWING CATEGORIES: (SEE FBC FOR EXPOSURE AND |
| | SURFACE ROUGHNESS DEFINITIONS). |
| | |
| | EXCEPTION: AN INTERMEDIATE EXPOSURE BETWEEN THE |
| | EXPOSURE CATEGORIES DEFINED IS PERMITTED IN A |
| | TRANSITION ZONE PROVIDED THAT IT IS DETERMINED BY A |
| | RATIONAL ANALYSIS METHOD. |
| | |
| | 2. THERE IS A NOTE ON THE PLAN STATING THAT THIS IS |
| | LESS THAN 25% OF AGGREGATE GLASS AREA TO BE REPLACED |
| | AND SHUTTERS ARE NOT REQUIRED. PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE |
| | IS NO SUCH EXCEPTION FOR MULTI FAMILY STRUCTURES. IT |
| | APPEARS THAT, BASED ON LOCATION IN THE BUILDING (FIRST |
| | FLOOR, WITHIN 30' OF GRADE), LARGE MISSILE IMPACT |
| | PROTECTION IS REQUIRED PER FBC 1609.1.2. |
| | |
| | ALTHOUGH THE PRODUCT APPROVAL SUBMITTED COMPLIES WITH |
| | THE FBC, PLEASE REVISE ENGINEERING. SUBSTITUTIONS ARE |
| | SOMETIMES TAKEN IN THE FIELD; SITE SPECIFIC DESIGN |
| | CRITERIA PREPARED BY A PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER SHOULD BE |
| | APPLICABLE TO THE JOB. |
