PERMIT STATUS

10/23/2013 – Review not complete. Submittal substantially incomplete.

Advisory Comment (no response required):  This review is based on the requirements of the Anchorage Administrative Code (AAC), 2009 International Building Code (IBC), 2009 International Residential Code (IRC) and all adopted references thereto as amended by MOA. The following comments must be addressed before a permit can be issued. The approval of plans and specifications does not permit the violation of the codes, or any federal, state or local regulations.

1. FROST PROTECTED FOUNDATION

This structure does not meet the exceptions for a non frost protected foundation. It is not assigned to occupancy category I. An alternate means and methods must be provided for approved. Reference IBC section 1809.5.

2. GLOBAL OVERTURNING

Reference the global overturning check in the calculations. Please why wind loads on the roof and lateral on the walls have not been applied simultaneously. Please also note that it is likely that wind load on the floor must be applied since this building it off the ground. Please note that this would affect both the sliding and overturning calculation. Reference IBC section 1604.9 and 1604.4.

3. WIND EXPOSURE

Reference the wind calculations. The wind load has been determined as if the site is exposure B. This is not the case. This site appears to be in exposure C. Please provide justification for the assumption of exposure B. Please also note that that this building appears to be near the runway or where planes are parked, and may be subject to jet blast. Please verify that it isn’t or provide a design that considers this. Please note that this would affect both the sliding and overturning calculation. Reference ASCE 7-05 section 6.5.6.4.

4. HEADER DESIGN

Reference the design of the headers. Please design the headers as complete unbraced or justifiy the assumption of them being continuously braced. Please provide ties downs for wind uplift if required. Where is the design of the header over the double door? Reference IBC sections 1604.4 and 1605.

5. ROOF FRAMING

Reference the calculations. Where is the design of the roof framing? Please clarify where in the calculations this design has been provided or provide for review.

6. SHEAR WALL DESIGN

Please clarify where the shear wall design is for both shear and overturning. A global check as been provided, but a local check has not. Reference the Special Design Provisions for Wind and Seismic section 4.1.1.

7. SHEAR TRANSFER

Please provide details showing how the shear loads are transferred from the roof diaphragm to the final location in the ground/soil. Please verify that the load path provided has sufficient capacity to transfer the required loads.

8. STATEMENT OF SPECIAL INSPECTIONS

Please provide a statement of special inspections as required by IBC section 1805 or indicate that no special inspections are required. Reference AAC section 23.10.104.8.

Please provide a written response to the comments and include one copy of additional or revise calculations, and two copies of additional or revise drawings.

All submittals should be sent to the permit manager.
