| | |
| | 1.)SEE SHEET S2.1 OF THE BUILDING PLAN.ROOF |
| | COMPONENT & CLADDING DESIGN PRESSURES OF -35.3, -59.2, |
| | AND -89.1 REQUIRED FOR ZONES 1, 2, AND 3 RESPECTIVELY. |
| | EITHER REVISE THE BUILDING PLAN OR REVISE ROOF ENHANCED |
| | FASTENING DESIGN PRESSURES TO MEET THE DESIGN PRESSURES |
| | REQUIRED BY THE ENGINEER OF RECORD.IT IS ACCEPTABLE |
| | TO USE PRESSURES MORE CONSERVATIVE THAN THOSE SPECIFIED |
| | BY ENGINEER OF RECORD, BUT NOT LESS.IN THIS CASE, YOU |
| | ARE SPECIFYING PRESSURES HALF OF THE DESIGN PRESSURES |
| | REQUIRED BY THE EOR. |
| | |
| | 2.)IF THE BUILDING PLAN IS REVISED TO REFLECT THE |
| | DESIGN PRESSURES SPECIFIED BY THE ROOF ENGINEER MARK DE |
| | STEFANO; -29.5, 39.8, AND -45.9 FOR ZONES 1, 2, AND 3 |
| | CALCULATIONS WILL BE REQUIRED AS THE PRESSURES ARE |
| | SIGNIFICANTLY LESS THAN FBC TABLE 1609.6.2.1(2).IT IS |
| | THE OPINION OF THE FBPE INVESTIGATOR THAT ASCE7 IS MORE |
| | CONSERVATIVE THAN THE TABLE.ALTHOUGH I AM NOT AN |
| | ENGINEER AND DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PERFORM ENGINEERING, IF |
| | THE STATEMENT BY FBPE REPRESENTATIVE IS TRUE, LOGIC |
| | WOULD DICTATE THAT DESIGN PRESSURES FROM ASCE7 SHOULD |
| | BE AT LEAST NEARLY EQUIVALENT TO THE TABLE.IN THIS |
| | CASE, IT LESS THAN HALF. |
| | |
| | 3.)THE ROOFING ENGINEER HAS DECLARED A DESIGN |
| | CRITERIA OF 145MPH, 2' PARAPET WALL, EXPOSURE B, |
| | FBC2004 WITH 2006 AMENDMENTS.EPR DECLARED 140MPH, |
| | EXPOSURE B, FBC2004 GOVERNING CODE.NOTE THE |
| | FOLLOWING: |
| | |
| | A.SEE ASCE7-02, FIGURE 17, NOTE 7.A 3' PARAPET WALL |
| | IS TO BE PROVIDED AROUND THE PERIMETER OF THE BUILDING |
| | IN ORDER TO USE ZONE 2 PRESSURES FOR ZONE 3.THE |
| | BUILDING PLAN SHOWS A 4' PARAPET WALL IN SOME AREAS BUT |
| | LESS THAN 2' IN OTHERS.NOTE THAT THE REQUIREMENT IS |
| | 3' AROUND THE ENTIRE PERIMETER.IN OUR TELEPHONE |
| | CONVERSATION MR. DE STEFANO STATED THAT THE PRESSURES |
| | WERE REDUCED DUE TO THE PARAPET WALL. |
| | |
| | B.IF THE PARAPET WALL IS ACTUALLY NOT BUILT ACCORDING |
| | TO PLAN AND IS A MINIMUM OF 3' HIGH, PLEASE SEE FBC |
| | TABLE 1609.6.2.1(2).140MPH, 10SF, ZONE 2 REQUIRES A |
| | PRESSURE OF -59.2, 150MPH REQUIRES 67.9.USING |
| | INTERPOLATION, THE REQUIRED DESIGN PRESSURE FOR ZONE 2 |
| | WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY 63.6 IF THE TABLE WAS USED.THE |
| | PRESSURE CALCULATED BY MR. DE STEFANO USING ASCE7, |
| | -45.9, IS SIGNIFICANTLY LESS.AS STATED ABOVE, IF THIS |
| | PRESSURE IS USED, CALCULATIONS WILL BE REQUIRED. |
| | |
| | C.MR. DE STEFANO STATED IN A TELEPHONE CONVERSATION |
| | THAT EXPOSURE C IS NEAR THE WATER.PLEASE NOTE THAT |
| | THE DEFINITION FOR EXPOSURE C HAS CHANGED EFFECTIVE |
| | DECEMBER 8, 2006.PLEASES SEE FBC1609.6.2.1(2), |
| | FBC1609.4.MR. DE STEFANO HAS DECLARED GOVERNING CODE |
| | AS FBC2004 WITH 2006 AMENDMENTS.IF THIS IS USED, IT |
| | APPEARS THAT THERE MAY BE OVER 600 FEET OF OPEN SPACE |
| | IN ONE OF THE QUADRANTS.HOWEVER, THE BUILDING WAS |
| | PERMITTED UNDER FBC2004 (NO AMENDMENTS; PRIOR TO |
| | DECEMBER 8, 2006) AND THIS APPLICATION CAN BE GOVERNED |
| | BY THE SAME CODE AS THIS IS A SUB PERMIT.THE |
| | GOVERNING CODE ON THE ROOF ENGINEERING MAY BE REVISED. |
| | IF YOU CHOOSE TO DESIGN UNDER GOVERNING CODE AT THE |
| | TIME OF ROOF PERMIT APPLICATION, THIS IS ACCEPTABLE BUT |
| | MUST SHOW EVIDENCE THAT THIS IS INDEED STILL EXPOSURE B |
| | (USING AERIALS OR A SITE PLAN), AND ALSO MUST INCLUDE |
| | 2007 AMENDMENTS WHICH BECAME EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2007. |
| | |
| | 4.)THE NOA REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY ARCHITECT OF |
| | RECORD AND SUBMITTED BY ROOF CONTRACTOR WAS 03-0827.01. |
| | ROOF ENGINEERING REFERS TO NOA 04-0527.01.IF YOU ARE |
| | CHANGING PRODUCTS, DESIGNER OF RECORD IS TO REVIEW THE |
| | PRODUCT APPROVALS FBC*106.3.3.SUBMIT AS A REVISION TO |
| | THE MASTER PERMIT (BUILDING PERMIT). |
| | |
| | 5.)AS IT IS NOT CLEAR WHAT PRODUCT IS BEING USED, OR |
| | WHAT THE DESIGN PRESSURES ARE, ENHANCED FASTENING FOR |
| | THE INSULATION BOARD RAS117 HAS NOT BEEN REVIEWED. |
| | |
| | 6.)SEE FAC61G15-23.002 (WWW.FBPE.ORG).THE |
| | CERTIFICATE OF AUTHORIZATION IS REQUIRED ON EACH |
| | SHEET. |
| | |

| | REQUIRED BY FAC61G15-23.002 IS REQUIRED ON EACH SHEET |
| | AND EACH SHEET IS TO BE SIGNED, SEALED, AND DATED. |
| | NOTE THAT THIS REQUIREMENT APPLIES TO CALCULATIONS, |
| | SPECIFICATIONS, AND PLANS (BUT NOT REPORTS).AS THIS |
| | WOULD BE CONSIDERED EITHER A CALCULATION OR |
| | SPECIFICATION, PLEASE PROVIDE REQUIRED INFORMATION AND |
| | SEAL ON ALL SHEETS (OR PROVIDE AN INDEX SHEET IN |
| | ACCORDANCE WITH FAC61G15). |
| | |
| | 8.)FROM PREVIOUS CORRECTION LIST, INDICATE WHICH |
| | ASSEMBLY IS BEING USED.THE ASSEMBLY ON PAGE 24, NOA |
| | 03-0827.01 WAS SPECIFIED AND REVIEWED BY ARCHITECT WITH |
| | THE BUILDING PERMIT.IF THIS IS NOT THE ASSEMBLY BEING |
| | USED, THIS SHOULD BE SUBMITTED AS A REVISION.THE |
| | ENGINEER SHOULD REFER TO THE ASSEMBLY AS WELL AS THE |
| | NOA ON THE RAS117 CALCULATION. |
| | |
| | 9.)THE BUILDING PERMIT INCLUDED A WEATHERGUARD |
| | UNDERLAYMENT AND MONIER TILE FOR THE MANSARD.PLEASE |
| | INCLUDE THESE PRODUCT APPROVALS WHEN RESUBMITTING. |
| | |
| | 10.)FOR THE TILE, PLEASE CIRCLE WHICH METHOD OF |
| | ATTACHMENT YOU ARE USING.IF YOU ARE USING A FOAM |
| | ADHESIVE, PROVIDE THAT PRODUCT APPROVAL AS WELL, |
