Advisory Information:
. C(1): This review is based on the requirements of the 2000 International Building Code and all adopted references thereto (RMI 1997) as amended by MOA. See also www.muni.org/bsd, Handout #61. The following comments must be addressed before a permit can be issued. APPROVED FOR PERMIT 5/5/4 CSK C(2): See calculations by Ben Riehl: Please provide sample calculations for determining restoring moment. In checkingoverturning only the top shelf need be considered. Since the overturning moment arm is greater than the restoring moment arm, there should be a net tension (uplift). Reference RMI Sections 2.7.6, and 8.1. Make correction as needed. RESOLVED 5/6/04 CSK C(3): See calculations by Ben Riehl and by Peter Higgins: Please verify that there are beam locking devices or bolts capable of withstanding a 1 kip upward force at each beam connection. Reference RMI Section 7.1.2. RESOLVED 5/6/04 CSK C(4): See calculations by Ben Riehl: The importance factor for tall storage units open to the general public = 1.5. Please recheck your calculations using this importance factor. Reference RMI Section 2.7.2 RESOLVED 5/6/04 CSK C(5): See calculations by Peter Higgins For shelves over 8' tall, anchorage against overturning should be designed with only the top shelf loaded. Please provide this check. Reference RMI Section 2.7.6 and 8.1. RESOLVED 5/6/04 CSK C(6): See calculations by Peter Higgins Sheet 3 Item 2: Please note that the statement (if) H/D > 5 (unit is stable) is not correct. This would imply that the taller the unit per unit width, the more stable it becomes. Please recheck your calculations. RESOLVED 5/6/04 CSK
