Nick,
We received the list of items that you provided on 9/22/2022 that were of concern during the framing inspection.
These items are listed and addressed below:
1) 51 strap at grid 7 - S1 strap is required only at this location as part of the lateral system.
2l H1 holdowns at living & master bedroom, along grid 6 & 10 - These should not be omitted, but can be
substituted with (2) CS16 straps connecting the columns (stud packs) shown to the packout of the steel
beam below. The (2) CS16 straps should be at each of these H1 locations and can be installed on the
exterior of the wall sheathing.
3) The (2) H2.54's on 14/56.002 can not be installed per the field condition - A substitution at this location is a
CS16 strap from the beam to the column. This column should be built up to a (3) 2x6 mínimum for
adequate bearing, as well as a full height king stud added (within the furring wall) to the opposite side of
the column from the strap for stability.
41 2x10 rafter/lookout connection to girder truss - Lookout to ledger attach w/ (6) 16d toenails, (3) ea side
min. Ledger to girder truss attach w/ (4]'16d nails @ 16"o.c. min.
5) Beveled cut TJ I 360's at bearing along grid B - Attach (31 5 %" LVL ledger w / (213 %" SDS screws @24" o.c.
This will provide bearing for the bottom flange of the TJI joists, which is required per the manufacturer.
6) Ledger connection to truss heel along grid E - Attach w/ (5) 16d nails @ 24"o.c. min.
7) Gable end truss bracing detail, 3/56.002 - the gable end truss bracing is not applicable as shown in the
detail, since the gable end walls are full height.
8) Stud at Bath 2 is notched greater lhan 25% - Sister on a 2x6 to the notched stud, extending to the
underside of horizontal pipe above. Attach with staggered nailing per 50.01.
Should you have any further questions regarding this matter, please feel free to contact our office.
Sincerely,
Evolve Structural Design LLC
