Here is a model and the corresponding sketches I used to develop some drawings. However, the way you draw them differs between offices.
**EDIT**: I left the sizes, dimensions, and details out because this was for architectural review, but that's how our office likes to display stairs. Only a...
If it makes you feel any better, I just ran a calc through a different spreadsheet got a 52.6 psf design surcharge with a 20 psf balanced snow load making the drift loading 72.6 psf.
Edit: I don't have time to review your calcs but I have reviewed the spreadsheet we use many times and it's...
The fence is 14' tall because the architects for google think it looks official. The fence is blocking a food delivery route, so unless a gaggle of programmers are really hungry I don't think there'll be an issue with security breaches.
I genuinely enjoy that I expected this to be a simple and short answer, but instead, I got a 290-page paper on designing for military-level threats and suggestions to design for thousands of protesters hahaha. I should've been more specific.
No, it's a 14'-0" tall HSS picket fence and gate. I already submitted to the B.D. applying the 300# concentrated at various locations simultaneously. It was going to work either way as this was a very stout fence but I was just wondering if there was a typical way of loading these.
