| | |
| | 1. ADDRESSED. |
| | |
| | 2. 1ST REVIEW; SEE ANCHOR CHARTS ON THE ACCORDION |
| | PRODUCT APPROVAL, SHEET 6, MINIMUM STRENGTH REQUIREMENT |
| | FOR CONCRETE AND PROVIDE INFORMATION REGARDING THE |
| | EXISTING SUBSTRATE TO SHOW THAT IT MEETS THE MINIMUM |
| | REQUIREMENT. |
| | |
| | 2ND REVIEW; NOT ADDRESSED. PLEASE ADVISE AS TO HOW YOU |
| | HAVE DETERMINED THAT CONCRETE MEETS THE MINIMUM |
| | STRENGTH OF 3100PSI. PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU MAY |
| | ALTERNATIVELY USE CONCRETE BLOCK ANCHOR SPACING. |
| | |
| | 3RD REVIEW; CONTRACTOR WROTE A RESPONSE THAT ACI318-02 |
| | REQUIES 4500PSI MIN CONCRETE TESTED FOR 5000PSI |
| | CONCRETE STRENGTH OR CO WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ISSUED. |
| | PLEASE NOTE THAT ACI318-02 WAS NOT IN EFFECT AT THE |
| | TIME THAT THIS STRUCTURE WAS BUILT. SOME STRUCTURES IN |
| | THIS DEVELOPMENT WERE BUILT WITH A BOND BEAM RATHER |
| | THAN A TIE BEAM. CONCRETE STRENGTH IS SPECIFIED BY THE |
| | STRUCTURAL ENGINEER, NOT AN ACI REFERENCE. WITHOUT |
| | PLANS OR CONCRETE TEST THERE IS NO WAY FOR ME TO |
| | DETERMINE IF CONCRETE IS THE SUBSTRATE AT THE TOP, OR |
| | THE CONCRETE STRENGTH AT TOP AND BOTTOM. |
| | |
| | CONTRACTOR WROTE A RESPONSE THAT THE 6" ANCHOR SPACING |
| | PROPOSED EXCEEDS CONCRETE BLOCK REQUIREMENTS. SEE |
| | OPENING 2, FOR EXAMPLE. C2 IS SPECIFIED AT TOP, C4 AT |
| | BOTTOM (PLEASE REVISE INSTALLATION SCHEDULE TO CLARIFY |
| | OPTIONS; THIS SHOULD CORRELATE WITH THE ANCHOR CHARTS). |
| | C2 REQUIRES 3" FOR BOTH C2 AND C4, BUT CONTRACTOR HAS |
| | SPECIFIED 6" AND 5". THIS IS AN EXAMPLE; MAY APPLY TO |
| | OTHER OPENINGS; PLEASE CHECK ALL. |
| | |
| | CONTRACTOR'S RESPONSE STATES THAT "UNIT 2 -44.5PSF SPAN |
| | 138" @ 108" 9" @ 157" 3" 6" SHOULD BE ACCEPTABLE". |
| | PLEASE NOTE - 138" SPAN REQUIRES USE OF THE COLUMN FOR |
| | SPANS UP TO 13'1", WHAT DO ALL OF THE OTHER NUMBERS |
| | MEAN? 3" REQUIRED, PLEASE SEE ANCHOR CHART PAGE 7. I |
| | HAVE HIGHLIGHTED ONE SET. |
| | |
| | EITHER PROVIDE A PERMIT NUMBER FOR THIS STRUCTURE OR |
| | PROVIDED CONCRETE TESTS REFERRED TO IN RESPONSE LETTER |
| | AS EVIDENCE OF 3100 PSI (TOP AND BOTTOM). NOTE THAT |
| | MANY RESIDENTIAL SLABS ARE POURED AT 2500PSI. |
| | |
| | NEW COMMENT: |
| | |
| | 3. PLEASE SUBMIT TWO IDENTICAL COLLATED SETS OF PERMIT |
| | DOCUMENTS FOR PERMIT ISSUANCE. FOR INSTANCE, ONLY ONE |
| | NEW FLOOR PLAN AND ONE REVISED INSTALLATION SCHEDULE |
| | WAS SUBMITTED. OLD SHEETS CAN BE REMOVED FROM THE SET |
| | AND SUBMITTED SEPARATELY FOR REFERENCE. |
| | |
| | PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME IF YOU NEED ASSISTANCE |
| | WITH THE ABOVE ISSUES. |
