SIQUEIRA, L.L.C. <br /> November 23,2016 <br /> Re:Eric Boyd, 1240 W.Thomas,South Bend,IN <br /> Gentlemen, <br /> I was asked to do a structural inspection on the building at the above referenced address on November <br /> 21,2016.The inspection was limited to specific issues as stated below. Eric stated that all joists, rafters <br /> &beams used were pine—(SPF)#2. 1 assumed any studs to be SPF stud grade. <br /> I. Joists spanning 17.5' running east-west at 16"oc, supported at masonry walls. I find these to be <br /> inadequate.A 2x4 stud wall should be added north-south,to support joists, limiting joist span to <br /> 14'.Assuming a 6'opening,the header should be(2)2x10. <br /> 2. Steel beams at courtyard—south face at 2"d floor level&(2)at west face at north end—(1)at <br /> roof level&(1)at 2"d floor level.These are adequate,except that the roof level beam at west <br /> face is sagging. Eric intends to build a 2x6 wall (16"oc)under it,which should take care of the <br /> problem.(3)studs should be placed under where the east west steel beam meets the north <br /> south beam. <br /> 3. Courtyard wall bracing. In the absence of a roof and 2"d floor,the exterior walls lack bracing.The <br /> north&east walls need to be permanently braced.At the least,(3)beams—each(3)2x12 across <br /> the width should be installed at between 15'-18'above 15`floor.These beams should be placed <br /> at%points along the length of the courtyard.Then, beams running north south should be <br /> placed at the end bays,from east west beam to wall at mid courtyard width.The beams should <br /> be extended into a 4" pocket into wall.Alternately,a 2x12 ledger—2' long with(2)%"x 6" bolts, <br /> 16"oc min hor.can be used in lieu of the pockets.At the 2x6 stud wall,the beam should bear on <br /> the face of(3)2x6 studs.Also, it is suggested that the trash pile in the courtyard should be <br /> removed. It is also noted that without a roof, provisions will have to be made to dispose of snow <br /> &drain rain water in the courtyard. <br /> 4. Framed mono-sloped roof at North West:A ledger(2)2x8s should be added to the east stud <br /> wall,raised up to be snug under the birdsmouth cut rafters. Hurricane clips should be added- <br /> rafter to ledger. 16d nails at 8"oc—ledger to wall top plate and(2) 16d nails to each stud below. <br /> Note that the 15`2x8 should be nailed as above&the 2nd 2x8 nailed to the 1"—2 rows 16d nails <br /> at 12"oc.Add blocking 2'oc at north end bay at rafters to ext. framed wall.Attach wall to <br /> masonry at top of existing parapet. <br /> 5. At the South West end at V floor ceiling,the 10x10 timber beam running east west bears on a <br /> built up column.The load is calculated at just over 2700 lbs&the built up column should be <br /> adequate. <br /> 6. Just to the north of the office,2x4 joists spanning 10'were used.This should be removed and <br /> replaced with 2x8 joists at 16"oc. <br /> TEXAS ~YYJFLORIDA INDIANA COLORADO <br /> 15635 EMBERS DRIVE, MISHAWAKA, IN. 46545 E-MAIL:BVBIQ @CQMCABT.NET TEL:734-341-3861 <br />
