I graduated in 1972 with a Bachelors degree in Architectural Studies <br /> (Cum Laude) from the University of Wisconsin—Milwaukee and in 1979 with a Masters <br /> degree in Civil Engineering (Specialization in Structures) from the University of Wisconsin— <br /> Madison. Upon graduation, I worked for two years in the Engineered Wood Structures <br /> Department of the U. S. Forest Products Laboratory. In 1988, following experience in other <br /> engineering offices, I founded ARCH�STRUCTUREs with a special interest in residential wood <br /> structures design and evaluation. <br /> Report summary: As described in more detail in the three items below, the work had been <br /> completed in accord with the structural documents as well as additional verbal instructions to <br /> the contractor,and so is approved by me. <br /> Item #1: New basement beam: Limited construction is being performed in the basement to <br /> remove an exisring bearing wall. The contractor has replaced the wall with a (2) 1 3/4 x 9 1/2 <br /> LVL beam. The beam span is 11'-0". Both ends of the beam are to be supported by a (2) 2x4 <br /> post. One post is supported by the end of the existing wall footing. The other post is supported <br /> by a 24" square pad footing. (See photos of new beam and pad footing.) I have checked the <br /> beam and pad footing sizes by calculation,and th�y are approved by me. <br />
