8/4/11 – Resolved.  Letter submitted by EMC.  MMP

3. STEEL FABRICATOR QUALIFICATIONS

Please provide a copy of the steel fabricator certification from AISC, IAS, or MOA for fabrication of structural steel without special inspection required by IBC Chapter 17.  In lieu of certification, please submit the name(s) and resume(s) of the individual(s) providing shop special inspection for review.

Reference:  IBC Section 1704.2.2; AMC 23.15.1704.1.4

8/24/11 – Resolved.  Item to be deferred.  MMP

4. LINTEL SUPPORT

Refer to Sheet S1.2, Calculations Pg. 57, 61.  The plans show a lintel along Grid B for an open corner that cantilevers over the wall 10 ft. (scaled).  The calculations show the lintel at D/1 as controlling.  Please clarify the design at Grid B, as it looks to be longer with a larger tributary area.

Reference:  IBC Section 1604.4

8/24/11 – Resolved.  Clarification provided.

5. COLLECTORS AND DRAG STRUTS

Refer to Sheet S1.3.  Please clarify the location and extents of all the collectors.  It does not appear that all of the diaphragm transfer load paths have been addressed.  Several of the walls do not have any collectors or drag struts supporting adjacent diaphragms, nor do all of the collectors span the full length of the diaphragm along a resisting wall element.

Reference:  ASCE 7 Section 12.10.2

8/24/11 – Resolved.  Clarification provided; redlines noted.  MMP

6. COLLECTOR CONNECTIONS

Refer to Sheet S1.3.  Please address the following:

a. Refer also to Detail 4/S2.2.  The detail shows an inline collector connection across the column.  This detail does not address at Grid D/3, where collectors are spanning in two perpendicular directions.  Please clarify the load transfer for the collector along Grid 3.

b. There are no details for the continuity of collectors for Grid 5.  The plan shows wide flange beams that are offset at Grid D, not across the W12 south of Grid C.4.  Please clarify the continuity.

Reference: IBC Section 1604.4; ASCE 7 Section 12.10.2; AISC 360 Chapter J

8/24/11 – Resolved.  Clarification provided; redlines noted.  MMP

7. SHEAR CAPACITY AT OUTBOARD SUPPORT

Refer to Sheet S1.3, Detail 8/S2.1.  The detail shows the bottom flange and web are cut back for the W16 along Grid 3.  There are no calculations showing this connection has adequate shear capacity at the support.  The detail appears to address primarily the 2.5K outriggers.
