7-25-16 I am approving the installation of the earthanchors for these structures with the understanding that there will be a pulltest performed for this site and the information provided to me for review on adeferred submittal of the pull test to assure that the loads are achieved basedon this sites soils.
Each site will nothave the same soils, therefore a pull test for each installation on a specific siteis required, and the Gladys Woods information is not valid here.
The windcalculations that were provided are based on the ASCE 7-05 and it just sohappens that this building must be in the same wind speed as Gladys Woods; thisis not the current code and the future building installation maybe in adifferent wind speed. The currentadopted code is the ASCE 7-10 and there is a new wind speed map. I will approve the wind calculations for thisbuilding, but on future installations, the wind calculations need to be revisedbased on the current code and the current wind maps.
