It is our understanding that we are involved <br /> in this project to evaluate and to provide design details for the cantilevered gable with brick veneer at the <br /> south gable of the'garage. <br /> Descri�tion of Structure <br /> The building is a brick veneered wood-framed structure with a basement. The building was built in 1987 <br /> and is typical of the construction of that period. A fire within the last year destroyed the garage and a <br /> portion of certain elements of the main house structure. <br /> 06servations <br /> The structure is largely rebuilt since the fire. Garage walls and the roof have been reframed at the most <br /> burnt portions utilizing the existing footings and foundations.The garage roof has been construded <br /> using pre-fabricated roof trusses provided by Wisconsin Truss Inc. Shop drawings were available on site. <br /> The proposed cantilevered brick gable is not yet installed, however,the main supporting elements,the <br /> steel angle, bent brackets, and beam have been instalfed. <br /> Opinions and Recommendations <br /> The additional loading at three interior trusses, resulting from the cantilever beam's backspan,was <br /> calculated.The loads were provided to the original truss manufacturer for the purpose of re-evaluating <br /> them based on the new loading.The evaluation determined that the existing trusses have enough <br /> capacity for bearing the additional loads. Refer to Appendix 1 for the updated calculations provided by <br /> the truss manufacturer,Wisconsin Truss,Inc. <br /> The existing 6x6 beams, steel angle, steel angle bracket and trusses can remain. However, parts of the <br /> assembly need to be supplement and/or modified.Refer to attached sheets Sl-S4 and the structural <br /> notes that follow for a complete description and methodology of recommended repairs. <br />
