| | DENIED BY BUILDING |
| | PLEASE ADDRESS THE ITEMS NOTED BELOW: |
| | |
| | THE EMAIL THAT I RECEIVED FROM BILL MOORE WITH LEGACY |
| | CONTRACTING STATES THAT HIS CLIENT'S INSURANCE CARRIER |
| | IS REQUIRING HIM TO INSTALL A ROOF TO WALL CONNECTION |
| | THAT CONSISTS OF A STRAP THAT WRAPS OVER THE TRUSS IN |
| | ORDER TO RETAIN HIS HOMEOWNERS INSURANCE. HE STATED |
| | THAT THE HGA10KT ANGLE CONNECTOR WAS NOT ACCEPTABLE |
| | BECAUSE IT DOES NOT WRAP OVER THE TRUSS AND THAT THE |
| | LTT19 STRAP IS COST PROHIBITIVE. PER OUR TELEPHONE |
| | CONVERSATION, YOU DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THE FACE OF THE |
| | WALL ON EITHER SIDE TO ATTACH THE STRAPS WITHOUT HAVING |
| | TO REMOVE AND REPAIR THE WALL OR SOFFIT AND INCUR MORE |
| | COSTS. I HAVE DISCUSSED YOUR SITUATION WITH THE |
| | BUILDING OFFICIAL AND WE HAVE DETERMINED TWO OPTIONS |
| | WHICH YOU CAN USE TO ACCOMPLISH THE ROOF TO WALL |
| | CONNECTIONS IN ORDER TO SATISFY THE INSURANCE COMPANY'S |
| | REQUIREMENTS. THE FIRST IS TO USE A TESTED AND APPROVED |
| | STRAP IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS PRODUCT APPROVAL. THE |
| | SECOND METHOD IS BY USING FBC 104.11 ALTERNATIVE |
| | MATERIALS, DESIGN AND METHODS OF CONSTRUCTION AND |
| | EQUIPMENT. AN ALTERNATIVE MATERIAL, DESIGN OR METHOD OF |
| | CONSTRUCTION SHALL BE APPROVED WHERE THE BUILDING |
| | OFFICIAL FINDS THAT THE PROPOSED DESIGN IS |
| | SATISFACTORY AND COMPLIES WITH THE INTENT OF THE |
| | PROVISIONS OF THIS CODE, AND THAT THE MATERIAL, METHOD |
| | OR WORK OFFERED IS, FOR THE PURPOSE INTENDED, AT LEAST |
| | THE EQUIVALENT OF THAT PRESCRIBED IN THIS CODE IN |
| | QUALITY, STRENGTH, EFFECTIVENESS, FIRE RESISTANCE, |
| | DURABILITY AND SAFETY. THE BUILDING OFFICIAL HAS |
| | REQUESTED THAT THE FLORIDA LICENSED ENGINEER PROVIDE A |
| | DETAIL AND CALCULATIONS SHOWING HOW THE STATED UPLIFT |
| | CAN BE RESISTED BY: |
| | -THE PULL OUT RESISTANCE OF THE 3/8" X 1-1/2" LAG |
| | SCREW. |
| | -THE ALLOWABLE BENDING STRESS OF THE 3/8" THICK SQUARE |
| | WASHER ACTING AS A CANTILEVER FROM THE BOLT TO THE |
| | POINT OF APPLICATION OF THE STRAP UPLIFT AT THE EDGE OF |
| | THE WASHER. |
| | -THE ALLOWABLE TENSILE STRENGTH OF THE STRAP AFTER |
| | DEDUCTING THE CROSS-SECTIONAL AREA OF STEEL REMOVED BY |
| | THE WHOLE DRILLED FOR THE 3/8" LAG BOLT. |
| | -THE SPECIFICATION OF THICKNESS, STEEL GRADE, AND |
| | ALLOWABLE BENDING STRESS OF THE WASHER AND STEEL GRADE |
| | AND ALLOWABLE TENSILE STRESS OF THE SIMPSON MSTA STRAP. |
