Your plan notes that you will <br /> be sheathing the entire exterior of the building with OSB permitting the use of Table R60210.4 Continuous <br /> Sheathing iVlethods,CS-WSP�nd PFH. <br /> Please i�ote IRC Figures R602.10.8(1)and R602.10.8(2)Braced Wall Panel ...to Floor/Ceiling Framing connection <br /> requiremenls f�or the con�inuous method (attached). <br /> The attached sheet,C-1,provides detail on the braced wall assessment. The attached sheet,BP-1, indicates the locations of <br /> braced wall segments for the front elevation of the garage on the main level of this house and the location of portal frames. <br /> See Detail Sl. <br /> You asked me to comment on the tall wall framing at the stairwell. See Detail T1. <br /> You also asked that I review the tall wall framing at the sport court.Frame the exterior walls of the sport court indicated on <br /> your Lower Floor Plan as walkout with(2)2X6s#2 SPF @ 12"centers,the exterior walls indicated as Look Out with(1) <br /> 2X6#2 SPF @ 12"centers and the wall indicated as Full Height with(1)2X6#2 SPF @ 16"centers. <br /> A basic assumption of IRC bracing is that the rest of the structure is properly constructed and connected per the appropriate <br /> section of the code. Please note IRC Figures R60210.8(1)and R602.10.8(2) Braced Wall Panel ...to FloorlCeiling <br /> Framing connection requirements i�or the continuous method(attached). <br /> The information and opinions contained herein are based upon the limited investigation described at the beginning of this <br /> report.
