| | 1. PLEASE EXPLAIN DESIGN PRESSURES SPECIFIED FOR STORM |
| | PANELS, +-32, AND ROOF DESIGN PRESSURES ON THE PLAN, |
| | -31.3. IT APPEARS THAT THEY ARE MWRS PRESSURES. STORM |
| | PANELS SHOULD USE COMPONENT & CLADDING PRESSURES. SEE |
| | FBC R TABLE 301.2(2). ZONE 3. |
| | |
| | 2. PLEASE CLARIFY ROOF PITCH, FBC R TABLE 301.2(2). |
| | |
| | 3. THE INSTALLATION SCHEDULE INCLUDES ONLY ONE OPENING |
| | AND STATES THAT THIS IS "WORST CASE", 6X7. SEE OTHER |
| | COMMENTS. THIS MAY BE "WORST CASE" FOR SPAN, BUT IS NOT |
| | WORST CASE FOR DESIGN PRESSURES. THE ROOF PANELS APPEAR |
| | TO BE APPROXIMATELY 12SF; EXPOSURE C HAS BEEN DECLARED |
| | AS WELL AS AN IMPORTANCE FACTOR OF 1. PLEASE REVISE |
| | INSTALLATION SCHEDULE TO REFLECT CORRECT DESIGN |
| | PRESSURES. |
| | |
| | 4. THE PRODUCT APPROVAL FOR THE STORM PANELS WAS NOT |
| | SUBMITTED. I HAVE PRINTED THIS FOR YOU; HOWEVER, IN THE |
| | FUTURE, PLEASE BE SURE THAT TWO COPIES OF ALL PRODUCT |
| | APPROVALS ARE INCLUDED. THE NOA 05-0926.03 IS EXPIRED |
| | (8/7/2008). |
| | |
| | 5. ENGINEER HAS SPECIFIED 3 1/2" SHUTTER GLASS |
| | SEPARATION. BASED ON FIELD CONDITIONS, IS THIS |
| | POSSIBLE? PLEASE CONTACT ME TO DISCUSS. |
| | |
| | 6. A 2" EDGE DISTANCE REQUIRES A FACTOR OF .5; SEE |
| | SHEET 10 OF 15 OF THE NOA. IT IS NOT CLEAR WHICH |
| | ANCHORS ARE BEING USED; INSTALLATION SCHEDULE SHOULD |
| | SPECIFY AN ANCHOR WHICH IS INCLUDED IN THE NOA FOR |
| | ANCHORS INTO CONCRETE. I CANNOT DETERMINE WHETHER OR |
| | NOT THE FACTOR WAS APPLIED. |
| | |
| | 7. PLEASE HAVE THE ENGINEER CONFIRM THAT THE STRUCTURE |
| | CAN ACCOMODATE THE ADDITIONAL WEIGHT OF THE PANELS AND |
| | THAT THERE WILL NOT BE ANY WATER INTRUSION ISSUES. |
| | ANCHORS FOR TRACKS ARE TYPICALLY INSTALLED INTO |
| | CONCRETE, BLOCK, OR WOOD AROUND WINDOW AND DOOR |
| | OPENINGS. IN THIS CASE, IT APPEARS THAT THE ANCHORS |
| | WILL BE INSTALLED IN THE METAL STRUCTURE. EMBEDMENT |
| | REQUIREMENTS FOR ANCHORS INTO ALUMINUM IS NOT CLEAR. IN |
| | THE CASE OF BLOCK, CONCRETE, AND WOOD, THE ANCHORS DO |
| | NOT PENETRATE BEYOND THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE SUBSTRATE |
| | FACE. |
| | |
| | 8. PLEASE CONTACT ME TO DISCUSS ALTERNATE DESIGN |
| | OPTIONS. CONTRACTOR HAS BEEN TELEPHONED. THIS PROJECT |
| | WILL BE HELD AT MY DESK FOR THREE BUSINESS DAYS PENDING |
| | RESOLUTION. A RESUBMITTAL OF REVISED PAPERWORK MAY BE |
| | SUBMITTED FOR PRELIMINARY REVIEW BY EMAIL, |
| | [email protected]. ORIGINAL SIGNED, SEALED DOCUMENTS WILL |
| | BE REQUIRED FOR REVISION ISSUANCE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR |
| | CONTINUED EFFORTS TO GET THIS MATTER RESOLVED. |
