| | |
| | THE SUBMITTALS HAVE BEEN DENIED BY BUILDING |
| | PLEASE ADDRESS THE ITEMS NOTED BELOW: |
| | |
| | 1) ALL OF THE PREVIOUS COMMENTS HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED |
| | WITH ONE EXCEPTION. THE RATIONAL ANALYSIS CALCULATIONS |
| | THAT WERE SUBMITTED FOR THE 24" X 24" ES 1500 FIXED |
| | WINDOWS IN ZONE 5 ARE INCORRECT. RATIONAL ANALYSIS CAN |
| | NOT BE USED TO INCREASE THE WIND LOAD PRESSURES FOR A |
| | TESTED ASSEMBLY. THE NEGATIVE AND POSITIVE PRESSURES OF |
| | +70, -90 PSF LISTED IN PRODUCT APPROVAL ARE BASED ON |
| | THE TESTING AND SAFETY FACTORS AS REQUIRED BY THE 2014 |
| | FBC SECTION 1710.5. |
| | |
| | A) THE ENGINEERING THAT WAS SUBMITTED FOR THE 2' X 2' |
| | WINDOW LOCATED IN WALL ZONE 4, DOES NOT RESOLVE THE |
| | ISSUE OF THE DESIGN PRESSURES FOR THE WINDOW BEING LESS |
| | THAN REQUIRED. NOA NO.17-1114.10 FOR THE ES 1500 |
| | WINDOWS LISTS THE MAXIMUM DESIGN LOAD CAPACITY AS +70, |
| | -90 PSF. THE ENGINEER'S CALCULATIONS APPEAR TO SHOW THE |
| | REQUIRED PRESSURES AS +90.5 PSF, -150.82 PSF, WHICH |
| | APPEAR TO BE VULT PRESSURES. HE THEN STATES THE WINDOW |
| | PRESSURE ALLOWABLE AS 160 PSF IS GREATER THAN 150.82 |
| | PSF. PLEASE EXPLAIN HOW THE 160 PSF WAS DETERMINED. |
| | |
| | B) THE ENGINEER'S REPORT HAS A SIGNED AND SEALED COVER |
| | SHEET, HOWEVER, THE ATTACHED PAGES ARE NOT SIGNED AND |
| | SEALED. THE PAGES ARE NOT NUMBERED AND IDENTIFIED ON |
| | THE COVER SHEET OR INDEX SHEET AS REQUIRED BY FAC |
| | 61G15-23.002. |
| | |
| | C) THE WALL EXTERNAL PRESSURES ARE LOWER THAN THE ONES |
| | IN THE COMPONENTS AND CLADDING EXTERNAL PRESSURE LOADS |
| | IN THE CHART ON PLAN SHEET S0.4. THE PLANS OR THE |
| | CALCULATIONS WILL NEED TO BE REVISED SO THAT THE |
| | PRESSURES ARE THE SAME. FBC 107.2.1 |
| | |
| | 3) WHEN RESUBMITTING, IT IS HELPFUL TO PROVIDE A |
| | RESPONSE LETTER ADDRESSING EACH ITEM ALONG WITH THE |
| | CITY RE-SUBMITTAL FORM. |
