Masonry Anchor Bolts
<,
De,arKevin,
~'. . .
It is acceptable for you to substitute cast-in-place anchor bolts for the epoxy capsule anchors
'specified in Section B on drawing S5 of., the plans. Use 1/2" diameter by 8 inch "J" bolts at 2'-0"
on center staggered.
.. .
The Oregon Structural Specialty Code (building code) does not require that cast-in-place
masonry anchor bolts be specially inspected, therefore there is not any need to have these
bolts inspected by the testing agency.
Please give me a call if you have.any questions.
Sincerely yours,
EX PI,RES 12/.31 /99

Special Inspection of South Exterior CMU Wall
Dear Kevin,
This letter will confirm our telephone conversation of December 30th regarding the special inspection of the
south exterior CMU wall of the subject building.
.
The building code requires "special inspection" of CMU walls when the design stresses in a wall exceeds 50%
of the allowable stress, The design stresses in the south exterior wall of your building exceed 50% of the
allowable, therefore special inspection is required, This requirement was noted on the approved plans,
It has come to my attention that the bottom 4 feet of the south wall was grouted before being special inspected .
by an approved agency. While this is unfortunate, the wall will still be in compliance with the requirements of
the building code if you insure that the remainder of the wall is specially inspected prior to grouting.
The stresses in the bottom 4 feet of the wall do not exceed 50% of the allowable stresses because the
maximum stresses are caused by bending in the wall, and those stresses reach a maximum value at the mid-
, height of the wall. Because the bottom 4 feet of the wall is stressed to less than 50% of the allowable, special
inspection of this portion of the wall is not required.
Please give me a call if you have any questions.
Sincerely yours,
-
