F&F COMMENTS (02/14/2020)
Note: Resolve comments below for at-risk F&F approval.
1. GRADE BEAMS
a. Perimeter foundation walls appear to be entered as a rectangular “30x16” in RISA. Is this representative of an 8” foundation wall specified on the plans? Please clarify.
b. From the RISA results on page 95-96 of the calculations, spacing of shear reinforcing seems to be 7”-10” for grade beams, instead of the 12” spacing specified on S3.01. Please verify.
2. SHEARWALLS
The shearwall schedule on S3.07 specifies 8d nailing, but shearwall design spreasheet on page 51 of the calculations seems to be based on 10d nailing. Please clarify.
3. ANCHORS
Is Note 6 in the schedule on 1/3.04 relevant to this project?
BUILDING COMMENTS
Note: Review still in progress.
5. STRUCTURAL PLANS

6. FIRE PROTECTION
The code summary on sheet A0.01 indicates structural elements such as columns and trusses require 1 hour protection, but protection provided is specified as 0 hours. Why is the protection less than required?
