Your plan notes that you <br /> will be sheathing the entire exterior of the building with OSB permitting the use of Table R602.10.4 Continuous Sheathing <br /> Methods, CS-WSP and CS-PFH. <br /> Please note IRC Figures R602.10.8(1)and R602.10.8(2)Braced Wall Panel ...to Floor/Ceiling Framing connection <br /> requirements for the continuous method (attached). <br /> The attached sheet,BP1, indicates the locations of braced wall segments for the front elevation of the main level of this house <br /> and the location of portal frames. See Detail Sl. Note that many of the braced wall segment locations may be moved to <br /> accommodate unforeseen wall and plate perforations. If you find that you must move a braced wall segment more than 2 feet <br /> from its indicated location, please call. <br /> ditionally,per your request, I examined the stairwell wall on the plan you sent to me for the home at the above address. <br /> e Detail T1. <br /> You also asked that I review the tall wall at the sport court. Frame the exterior walls of the sport court indicated on your <br /> Lower Floor Plan as walkout with (2)2X6s#2 SPF @ 12"centers, the exterior walls indicated as Look Out with(1)2X6#2 <br /> 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. There is a notable requirement in IRC Table R602.3(1),Fastening Schedule for Structural Members for <br /> braced wall lines. It notes that the connection at the Sole plate to joist or joist blocking at braced wall panels be 3- 16d nails <br /> every 16"oc. <br /> The information and opinions contained herein are based upon the limited investigation described at the beginning of this <br /> report.
