| | |
| | 1. SPECIFY STRAP, FBC R301. |
| | |
| | 2. SHOW HOW THE WEDGE AS DESIGNED WILL RESIST GRAVITY |
| | LOADS IN COMBINATION WITH POTENTIAL RACKING AND |
| | CYCLICAL LOADING CAUSED BY WIND FORCES IN A POTENTIAL |
| | WIND EVENT. AS DESIGNED, THE WEDGES WILL BE REQUIRED TO |
| | RESIST GRAVITY LOADS DUE TO PLACEMENT ON AN INCLINE. IT |
| | APPEARS THAT ANY TIGHTENING OF THE THREADED RODS WILL |
| | RESULT IN SQUEEZING THE WEDGE OUT FROM UNDERNEATH THE |
| | STAND, INCREASING THE LIKELIHOOD THAT THE WEDGES WILL |
| | BE DISLOCATED AND MOVE DOWNHILL. |
| | |
| | 3. PROVIDE A PLAN SHOWING THE APPROXIMATE PROPOSED |
| | LOCATION (DISTANCE FROM EDGE, CORNER) AND DESIGN UPLIFT |
| | PRESSURE, FBC R301. |
| | |
| | 3. IT IS NOT CLEAR HOW THE "WOOD WEDGES" WILL SUPPORT |
| | THE STAND. AS DRAWN, IT APPEARS THAT THE WOOD WILL |
| | SPLIT AT THE THREADED ROD. PROVIDE DIMENSIONS FOR THE |
| | WEDGE. IT APPEARS THAT THE INTEGRITY OF THE ROOF STAND |
| | IS DEPENDENT ON THE WEDGE, BUT NO INFORMATION WAS |
| | PROVIDED. HOW WILL THE ROOF BE INSTALLED AROUND THIS |
| | WEDGE? INSTALLATION AND SPECIFICATION NOT CLEAR, FBC |
| | *106. PROVIDE A COMPLETE INSTALLATION DETAIL WITH ALL |
| | DIMENSIONS. |
| | |
| | 4. FLORIDA STATE OR LOCAL PRODUCT APPROVAL REQUIRED FOR |
| | THE ROOF STAND, FAC9B72. THE ENGINEERING PROVIDED IS |
| | MISSING INFORMATION. THE LEG CONFIGURATION FOR THE |
| | STAND WAS NOT INCLUDED AS WELL AS ALL OTHER INFORMATION |
| | WHICH IS ON SHEET 2. AS DRAWN, THE STAND HAS NO |
| | INTERMEDIATE SUPPORTS, ONLY CORNER LEGS. |
| | |
| | 5. SEE PAGE 4, HOW HAVE YOU DETERMINED THAT FORCE ON |
| | STRAPS IS 151 LBS MAX? TWO STRAPS PER SIDE ARE |
| | SPECIFIED. WITH STRAPS ON THE TWO 36" SIDES, HOW WILL |
| | YOU PREVENT THE UNIT FROM SLIDING? |
| | |
| | 6. A TITLE BLOCK IS REQUIRED IN ACCORDANCE WITH |
| | FAC61G15-23. A TITLE BLOCK FROM ENGINEERING EXPRESS IS |
| | ON THE PLAN, BUT THE ENGINEER'S NAME (FRANK BENNARDO) |
| | DOES NOT MATCH THE NAME OF THE INDIVIDUAL WHO SIGNED |
| | AND SEALED THE PLAN (ANDREW MORGAN). "REVIEWED" WAS |
| | WRITTEN ON THE PLAN, BUT THIS MUST BE ENGINEERED, NOT |
| | REVIEWED. THE DESIGN INTENT WAS FOR INSTALLATION ONTO A |
| | FLAT SURFACE AND OTHER CONDITIONS WERE NOT ADDRESSED. |
| | |
| | 7. PLEASE DECLARE WIND EXPOSURE CLASSIFICATION. IF |
| | EXPOSURE B IS DECLARED, CONFIRM THAT YOU HAVE READ THE |
| | REVISED DEFINITION FOR EXPOSURE B AND EXPOSURE C, FBC |
| | R301, ASCE7-05. |
| | |
| | 8. SHOW ROOF PITCH AND ALL DIMENSIONS, INCLUDING WIDTH |
| | OF UNIT AND DISTANCE FROM UNIT TO ROOF SURFACE, |
| | FBC1509.7. THE ROOF STAND ENGINEERING DOES NOT PROVIDE |
| | HEIGHT LIMITATION INFORMATION. THE DETAIL DOES NOT |
| | APPEAR TO COMPLY WITH THE MINIMUM HEIGHT REQUIREMENT. |
| | |
| | 9. A STRUCTURAL PERMIT MAY BE REQUIRED. IT DOES NOT |
| | APPEAR THAT THIS STRUCTURAL IMPROVEMENT IS WITHIN THE |
| | SCOPE OF A MECHANICAL CONTRACTOR'S LICENSE. |
| | |
| | 10. REGARDING THE DETAIL OF ATACHMENT, PAGE 1 UNISTRUT |
| | SPECIFICATION IS NOT LEGIBLE. DETAIL 3, PAGE 3, ALT. |
| | BASE PLATE ATTACHMENT DETAIL. PLEASE CLARIFY, HOW WILL |
| | THE WASHERS TIGHTEN ON AN ANGLE? THE ENGINEER HAS |
| | GRAPHICALLY SHOWN THE BOTTOM WASHERS AT AN ANGLE TO |
| | TIGHTEN AGAINST THE ROOF JOIST OR TRUSS, BUT THE |
| | THREADS ARE HORIZONTAL, NOT ADJUSTABLE. IT APPEARS THAT |
| | THIS INABILITY TO OBTAIN A TIGHT CONNECTION WILL ADD TO |
| | THE POTENTIAL FOR RACKING AND MOVEMENT, HOW WILL YOU |
| | PREVENT THIS MOVEMENT FROM WEARING LARGER HOLES IN THE |
| | WEDGE? |
