Yeim, WA
i visited the site noted above to do a structurat abservation. The following items
were nated:
1. At all the hoidowns, the SSTB16 anchor bolts were not instailed. Substitute
518" diameter threaded rods. Driii and epoxy to existing foundation, embed
9 '/z" minimum.
2. I inspected the epoxy anchors for the holdowns. The holes were drilied to
the depth required and blown out prior to filling with epoxy.
3. At shear wall 6B, the HDU2 was missing at the �ight end of the shear wall.
4. At shear wa116C, there is a jog in the wall that was not shown on the shear
wafl plan. Etiminate the 9'-4" portion of the wall and hotdowns are not
required there. Add an HaU2 at each end of the 6' portion of the wall.
Renail the 5' and 6' shear walls per shear wall type 2,
5. At shear wall 4C, tfie right holdown is located under the window. The
cripple studs are nailed to the fult height studs so this is adequate.
6. At shear wall 4D, the left holdown is located under the window. Add an
HDU2 holdown at the left end of the wall next to the window.
7. Ail other holdowns were installed per the approved plans and the shear
wafls were nailed per the approved plans.
8. The header in exam room 1 was relocated and the girder truss now bears
on the header. Remove the existing header and replace with a 3 Y: x 9 '/�
