Therefore, the design displacement distance is <br />calculated to provide room for the array to move without affecting other rooftop installations. After an earthquake, the array shall be <br />returned to compliance with the separation distances listed above, and damaged anchors (if any) shall be repaired. <br />The minimum allowable friction factor required for use of the prescriptive displacement method is μ = 0.4, which should be measured <br />under wet conditions per ASTM G115. If positive attachments are provided for lateral resistance of seismic forces, then the minimum <br />requirement is waived, as friction is not allowed to contribute in conjunction with attachments (IBC 1604.9) <br />A parapet is "qualifying" if the top of the parapet is not less than 12 inches in height. <br />Between separate solar arrays of similar construction <br />Between a solar array and a fixed object on the roof, <br /> or solar array of different construction <br />The contractor shall field verify all dimensions and site conditions before starting work and shall notify PZSE, Inc- Structural Engineers, <br />(PZSE, Inc) of any discrepancies. <br />All omissions and conflicts regarding the seismic setback specifications shall be brought to the attention of PZSE, Inc and resolved <br />prior to proceeding with work so involved. <br />Page 4 of 52 <br />3600 W Segerstrom Ave - <br />101117310 & 201813801/11/2024
