| | 1) SHEET A3.2.1 & A5.2.3 |
| | |
| | A) REVISION# 4 OF THIS SHEET INDICATES THE CHANGE IN |
| | FILL MATERIAL FROM EARTHENED FILL TO A GEO FOAM TO |
| | LESSEN THE LATERAL LOAD OR PRESSURES ON THE STAIR |
| | WALLS. PLEASE PROVIDE DOCUMENTATION THAT THE FOAM WILL |
| | MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF SUPPORTING 3000 PSF FOUNDATION |
| | NOTES SHEET S-5. SHEET A.5.2.3 DETAIL# 1 INDICATES SEE |
| | STRUCTURAL DRAWINGS. STRUCTURAL SHEET S-2.1 THE WEST |
| | END OF THE SECOND FLOOR SLAB HAS A CUT SECTION DETAIL |
| | 3/ S-9. WHEN REVIEWING THIS DETAIL THE PLANS STILL |
| | INDICATE EARTHENED FILL NOT A GEO FOAM, THE NOTE ON |
| | THIS SHEET INDICATES CONCRETE STAIRS ON GRADE SEE |
| | TYPICAL DETAIL. S-6 . S-6 AGAIN INDICATES EARTHENED |
| | FILL WITH WIRE MESH W.F 6X6 /W1.4XW1.4 NOT A STRUCTURAL |
| | STEEL REINFORCED SLAB. |
| | |
| | B CHAPTER 26 DEALS WITH FOAM PLASTICS WHEN USED IN |
| | CONSTRUCTION OF STRUCTURES AND BUILDINGS. THERE IS NO |
| | SECTION THAT INDICATES THE USE OF FOAM AS A FILLER |
| | BENEATH SLABS BUT TO USE FOAM FOR THIS APPLICATION IT |
| | WILL NEED TO COMPLY WITH 2603.8. SUCH TESTING SHALL BE |
| | RELATED TO THE ACTUAL END-USE CONFIGURATION AND BE |
| | PERFORMED ON THE FINISHED MANUFACTURED FOAM PLASTIC |
| | ASSEMBLY IN THE MAXIMUM THICKNESS INTENDED FOR USE. |
| | |
| | JUNE 15, 2008 |
| | THE SUBMITTAL FOR GEO FOAM HAS NOT MET THE REQUIREMENTS |
| | OF 2603.8. THE 2004 NOR THE 2007 FBC DOES NOT RECONIZE |
| | THE ASTM D-6817 STANDARD. ALL CUT SHEETS INDICATE THE |
| | USE OF GEO FOAM IN GENERAL EARTHWORK APPLICATIONS, |
| | LEVEES, DIKES, BIRMS... NOT FOR WWITHIN BUILDINGS. THE |
| | GEO FOAM BROSHURE DOES INDICATE THAT IT IS COMBUSTIBLE! |
| | SECTION 603.1 DEALS WITH ALLOWED COMBUSTIBLES IN TYPE I |
| | OR II BUILDINGS, EXCEPTION 3 DEALS WITH PLASTICS (FOAM) |
| | IN ACCORDANCE WITH CHAPTER 26. |
| | |
| | TO ALLOW FOAM PLASTICS IN BUILDINGS THE FOLOWING MUST |
| | BE MET: |
| | 2603.3 SURFACE-BURNING CHARACTERISTICS. UNLESS |
| | OTHERWISE INDICATED IN THIS SECTION, FOAM PLASTIC |
| | INSULATION AND FOAM PLASTIC CORES OF MANUFACTURED |
| | ASSEMBLIES SHALL HAVE A FLAME SPREAD INDEX OF NOT MORE |
| | THAN 75 AND A SMOKE-DEVELOPED INDEX OF NOT MORE THAN |
| | 450 WHERE TESTED IN THE MAXIMUM THICKNESS INTENDED FOR |
| | USE IN ACCORDANCE WITH ASTM E 84. |
| | |
| | EXCEPTION #4 IS WHEN FOAM PLASTIC IS USED IN |
| | INSTALATIONS GREATER THAN 4". FOAM PLASTIC INSULATION |
| | GREATER THAN 4 INCHES (102 MM) IN THICKNESS SHALL HAVE |
| | A MAXIMUM FLAME SPREAD INDEX OF 75 AND A |
| | SMOKE-DEVELOPED INDEX OF 450 WHERE TESTED AT A MINIMUM |
| | THICKNESS OF 4 INCHES (102 MM), PROVIDED THE END USE IS |
| | APPROVED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 2603.8 USING THE |
| | THICKNESS AND DENSITY INTENDED FOR USE. |
| | |
| | 2603.8 SPECIAL APPROVAL. |
| | FOAM PLASTIC SHALL NOT BE REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH THE |
| | REQUIREMENTS OF SECTIONS 2603.4 THROUGH 2603.7, WHERE |
| | SPECIFICALLY APPROVED BASED ON LARGE-SCALE TESTS SUCH |
| | AS, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, FM 4880, UL 1040, NFPA 286 OR |
| | UL 1715. SUCH TESTING SHALL BE RELATED TO THE ACTUAL |
| | END-USE CONFIGURATION AND BE PERFORMED ON THE FINISHED |
| | MANUFACTURED FOAM PLASTIC ASSEMBLY IN THE MAXIMUM |
| | THICKNESS INTENDED FOR USE. FOAM PLASTICS THAT ARE USED |
| | AS INTERIOR FINISH ON THE BASIS OF SPECIAL TESTS SHALL |
| | ALSO CONFORM TO THE FLAME SPREAD REQUIREMENTS OF |
| | CHAPTER 8. ASSEMBLIES TESTED SHALL INCLUDE SEAMS, |
| | JOINTS AND OTHER TYPICAL DETAILS USED IN THE |
| | INSTALLATION OF THE ASSEMBLY AND SHALL BE TESTED IN THE |
| | MANNER INTENDED FOR USE. |
| | |
| | PLEASE PROVIDE THE FLAME SPREAD AND SMOKE DEVELOPMENT |
| | IN COMPLIANCE WITH 2603.3 OR THE TESTING FOR |
| | LARGE-SCALE TEST IN COMPLIANCE WITH 2603.8. |
