| | |
| | 1- WINDOW MULLIONS: |
| | |
| | PREVIOUS COMMENT: |
| | A)NEW MULLION NOA 19-0405.10 SUBMITTED: |
| | NEW 1X4 CUSTOM MULLION OR 2X4 MULLIONS DON'T MEET THE |
| | CALCULATED DESIGN PRESSURES FOR OPENINGS 3,4 AND 5. |
| | BECAUSE THE WIDTH OF THE WINDOW TO USE IS 54" NOT 48". |
| | THE WIDTH OF THE WINDOW IS THE SUM OF THE TWO WINDOWS |
| | ADJACENT TO THE MULLION AND DIVIDED BY 2. THEREFORE THE |
| | WIDTH IS 50.5". NEED TO USE THE 54" WIDTH OF PRODUCT |
| | APPROVAL SUBMITTED. |
| | |
| | RESPONSE: |
| | DESIGN PRESSURES WERE RESUBMITTED TO REFLECT THE |
| | CORRECT BUILDING HEIGHT WHICH IS 45 FEET. BASED ON |
| | RESUBMITTED CALCULATIONS, THE SPECIFIED MULLION DOESN'T |
| | MEET THE CALCULATED DESIGN PRESSURES. THEREFORE, WINDOW |
| | MULLION SIZE NEEDS TO BE REVISED TO MEET THE ENGINEER'S |
| | DESIGN PRESSURES. |
| | NOTE: THE CORNER MULLION IS AN STRUCTURAL MULLION. THIS |
| | WAS DISCUSSED WITH ROBERT BROWN (BUILDING OFFICIAL). IF |
| | THIS MULLION IS GOING TO BE REPLACED, THEN IT NEEDS TO |
| | BE REPLACED WITH THE EXACT SAME SPECIFICATIONS. |
| | CONTRACTOR TO PROVIDE COMPLETE SPECIFICATIONS OF THE |
| | EXISTING MULLION. |
| | OTHERWISE, PROVIDE ENGINEERING FOR STRUCTURAL MULLION. |
| | SEC. 107.2.1.2 CITY AMENDMENTS. |

| | PREVIOUS COMMENT: |
| | 2- WINDOW OPENING CONTROL DEVICES: WINDOW OPENING |
| | CONTROL DEVICES ARE REQUIRED WHEN THE WINDOW SILL OF AN |
| | OPERABLE WINDOW IS AT A HEIGHT LESS THAN 36 INCHES |
| | ABOVE THE FINISHED FLOOR. |
| | WINDOW OPENING CONTROL DEVICES NEED TO COMPLY WITH ASTM |
| | F2090. |
| | CLEARLY SPECIFY IF THERE ARE ANY WINDOWS WHERE THE |
| | WINDOW SILL IS LESS THAN 36" ABOVE THE FINISH FLOOR. |
| | SEE SEC. 702.4 FBC-EXISTING BUILDING CODE. |
| | |
| | RESPONSE: |
| | THIS WILL BE VERIFIED IN THE FIELD BY THE BUILDING |
| | INSPECTOR. THIS COMMENT IS JUST TO GIVE HEADS UP ABOUT |
| | THIS REQUIREMENT. |
