2IBC Section 1705.1

Where special inspections or testing is required by IBC section 1704, 1707 or 1708, the registered design professional in responsible charge shall prepare a statement of special inspections in accordance with IBC section 1705 for submittal by the applicant. Please provide a statement of special inspections.
Refer to Sheet S0.1. Please note on the plans the required special inspections for masonry construction; the exceptions per IBC Section 1704.5 do not appear to be met.

11/5/15 - Not resolved. The response notes that special inspection requirements for masonry were noted on Sheet S0.1, but the special inspection listing still does not provide any information on the required special inspection items. Please provide. MMP

3IBC Section 1604.4

Any system or method of construction to be used shall be based on a rational analysis in accordance with well-established principles of mechanics. Such analysis shall result in a system that provides a complete load path capable of transferring loads from their point of origin to the load-resisting elements.

Resolved
Refer to Detail 4/S3.1, Calculations Pg. 11-12, 17. Please address the following:
a. The calculations on Pg. 11 show the strongback horizontal girt deflections well in excess of allowable. Please justify, or provide revised design.
b. Please justify the design of the out-of-plane condition for the vertical strongback and for the masonry itself. The calculation for the HSS strongback on Pg. 12 does not account for the full height the column (which appears to be approximately 24 ft). The masonry analysis on Pg. 17 appears to assume fixity at the base, but does not address the moment capacity of the base condition, and how the moments are resisted at the foundation.

11/5/15 - Resolved. Revised analysis and details provided. MMP

4AMC 23.10.104.8.1Construction documents shall be of sufficient clarity to indicate the location, nature, and extent of the work proposed and show in detail that the work will conform to the provisions of this code.Resolved

Refer to Detail 6/S3.1. Please clarify the frost protection of the foundation adjacent to the cooler located along the new exterior wall. It is not clear that sufficient building heat can be maintained, or is needed as the case may be, for this extent of the foundation.
Reference: IBC Section 1809.5; ASCE 32 Section Table 1

11/5/15 - Not resolved. The frost protection depth per local amendment is under the assumption of a properly heated foundation. There is no consideration given for the temperatures imposed on the foundation by a cooler/freezer, or by the insulating effects of such construction keeping building heat from the affected foundation areas. Please clarify design. MMP
