Hi, I would like to know what the tolarances is for brace walls that may be a couple (2") inches short per plan. Is there a code reference that would answer this? I am wondering how one will address this if an inspecor were to question the discrepancy withought having to go back to the engineer.
I have drafted up a sample letter that I intend to use in the future. Any feedback would be appreciated, especially with verbage. I would like to ensure the letter sounds as porfessional as possible.
Thank you in advance...

Hi guys,

Hi all,
I would like to know if there is anyone who is willing to show me how to accurately draw a stepped foundation in relation to existing grade. I have drawn the attached elevation, but the steps are not accurate as i tried to make them all cemeterial to one another.
Any input on the order...
Student here,
I would like to know if anyone can give insight as to how to translate topo elevations into a design. I am not really familiar how this is done. Nay help would be appreciated.
I am a learning student that occasionally has trouble visualizing construction details. Can anyone help me draw the details for the areas clouded in red. Cant figure out how to draw the pad (gridline e) in relation to the stepped footing.
any help would be greatly appreciated...
Hi Guys,
Could someone give me some feedback on how to design the foundation detail(s) for the areas clouded in red? I have an idea per the Section view, but not sure how the details will look, especially since it's on a slope. How is the pad at the steel column drawn on top of a stem wall. Is...
Would any engineer here know what would be an equal Simpson Wood Strong Wall substituted to the Steel SSW15x7.4 Steel Strong Wall? The same for the Simpson SSW18x9?
Any help would be appreciated.
Hi all, anyone here have a general concept or better understanding than I of how to read Metal Building Plans? I have plans for a 50' x 60' metal building but don't understand where to locate where the building connects to the foundation and that sort of thing? I can upload the file if anyone...
Hi all,
I am looking for feedback on ways to ensure adequate engineering of this existing garage. The foundation was replaced, but no hoedown's were installed at the garage short walls. We are replacing the old 1x6 siding boards with T1-11 siding. I know this can work for shear. I am thinking...
Does anyone have a general rule of where to place hold downs for shear walls? All walls are to be sheathed, and I I would normally place them where wall openings occure, i.e., window and door locations, but sometimes I feel I may be overdoing it. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated...
HI, I am hoping someone can help draw a structural roof detail showing a roof to roof transition per roof plan below. I am not sure how to draw the framing cross section detail of the two roofs joining together since there is a change in roof plane. The detail callout with the red rectangle is...
