You can also extend horizontal panels of insulation board out from the bottom of the exterior footing some distance – say three or 4 feet. This is common practice when trying to insulate the perimeter, shallow footings against Frost heave. The idea is that the built-up heat under the house slab...
Public welfare and safety.
A facade can certainly blow off in a storm and crush the little innocent peoples below.
You know it doesn't meet code (at least I assume you do).
Only other option would be to satisfy GC#2 with a letter outlining ONLY what they did.
Then add a second letter...
If you don't need the sheathing to transfer lateral loads to a shear wall below - the only reason to do it would be temporary during construction.
Once all the roof sheathing is in place, the "whole" of the roof system would probably be quite stable - assuming a hip type roof perhaps.
One other thing that is important to realize if you are trying to compare older UBC wind designs to current IBC wind.
The UBC used a "fastest mile" wind speed vs. the current 3 second gust speed.
For the middle part of the US, this equated to a 70 mph wind vs. a 90 mph under the 3 second gust...
The 1991 UBC used "Occupancy Categories" rather than "Risk Categories".
Essentially the same thing but the nomenclature was changed to avoid conflicts with other language in the IBC.
See the attached table from the 1991 UBC. This shows the various required importance factors used.
The code you...
Yes your sketch is roughly what I suggested. The channels look a little small in your sketch compared to the depth of the concrete beam.
For conservatism sake I just design the channels to take all the load.
Whether they need to be affixed to the beam ends with added anchors (to take out all...
For the side connection type - we've simply embedded a steel plate in the face of the column using headed studs or deformed bar anchors.
Then we use a single plate shear connection, welded perpendicular to the embedded plate with simple shear bolts (bearing). There might be some secondary...
You could use plates - or steel channels - on each side and bolted through to carry the total load - ignoring the concrete beam.
Plates are difficult to design as stand-alone "beams" so I tend towards using channels.
While not a large vertical distance on the face brick, the clay brick will expand with moisture (and the CMU will shrink) somewhat which could cause a problem with the wood plate remaining level.
Also you probably will want to sample and test the remaining concrete as well to ensure it's properties are even close to what is needed in terms of compressive strength, shear and bond strength, etc.
Below a roadway suggests maybe long term deterioration of the concrete via chlorides, etc...
