Note: Numbers in parenthesis (unless otherwise noted) refer to code sections of the 2010 California Residential Code (CRC); 2010 California Building Code (CBC); CMC = 2010 California Mechanical Code; CPC = 2010 California Plumbing Code; CEC = 2010 California Electrical Code; T = Table; ICC = International Code Council.All items noted on this plan check report must be addressed. If you feel that an item is not applicable to your project, note “N/A” and discuss the reason with the plan checker.Please indicate the sheet number and detail to the right of each correction, or note the number on the plans where the correction is made. Resubmit marked original, calculations and this correction sheet. Resubmit 3corrected sets of plans.(When meeting is needed) Meetings between the project applicant/designer and the plan reviewer shall be by appointment only. Please call (714) 647-5896 for an appointment.
Please provide a soils/geotechnical report that include:
All soil parameters such as but not limited to: type of soil, soil strength, position and adequacy of load-bearing soils, effect of moisture variation on bearing capacity, compressibility, liquefaction, expansiveness, soil friction coefficient, seismic parameters, depth of water table, etc. per sections 1803, 1803.2, 1803.3-1803.5, 1803.6
Proposed foundation remediation
Geotechnical observation schedule and approval process
The proposed remediation relies primarily on a dowel and bracket system in conjunction with soil friction and an assumed allowable soil bearing pressure in absence of a geotechnical report. Without parameters for soil/foundation pad preparation, coefficient of friction, allowable bearing and passive pressure, etc. the proposed fix lack adequate data to sustain design. As such if uneven settlement were to occur in the near future, the cold joint will have a high potential for separation exposing the dowels to oxidation.
Please clarify how torsion in the steel tubing of the proposed bracket system is addressed. There is insufficient concrete cover for the steel tubing.
Please clarify section shown on sheet 2, it is unclear where it is obtained. Please provide proper reference dimensioning.
Detail 5 is unclear regarding frequency of dowelling, is it per foot on center?
It is unclear in the construction documents where the new 3/8” sheathing specified on sheet 12 of the analysis is being used. Please reference accordingly.Please clarify why detail 6 is not under the Engineer of Records purview – the entire retrofit system is required to be under the purview of an engineer of record.All new construction, interior or exterior alterations, repairs, or additions requiring a permit and having a valuation in excess of $1,000, or when one or more sleeping rooms are added or created, the entire dwelling shall be provided with smoke detectors located as required for a new dwelling. (CRC R314.3) All new construction, Interior or exterior alterations, repairs, or additions requiring a permit and having a valuation in excess of $1,000,, an approved carbon monoxide alarm shall be installed in dwelling units and in sleeping units within which fuel-burning appliances are installed and in dwelling units that have attached garages shall be provided with carbon monoxide alarms (CRC R315)
