The design load criteria specified herein are minimums; the Contractor is responsible for verifying the actual design loads for this site. If actual design loads are different than that listed herein, the Contractor must notify the KO. The Contractor should determine if special loadings must be considered and notify the KO. Any cost and/or schedule impact due to the Contractor’s failure to notify the KO of these requirements specified herein four weeks before the submittal is due must be to the Contractor’s account. Design loads must be included in the structural notes on the drawings. The minimum design load criteria for this project as follows:

4.5.1.1 DEAD LOADS

The structural system must be designed and constructed to safely support all dead loads, permanent or temporary, including but not limited to self-weight, partitions, insulation, ceiling, floor covering, and all equipment that is fixed in position. Loads from architectural/mechanical/electrical equipment must be coordinated with the appropriate discipline. All loads and load case combinations must be in accordance with the codes and standards listed in the Applicable Design Criteria paragraph 4.2. Load factors for designs must be based on the applicable material design standard.

4.5.1.2 LIVE LOADS

4.5.1.2.1 FLOOR LIVE LOADS

Floor live loads must be in accordance with the codes and standards listed in the Applicable Design Criteria paragraph 4.2 for the anticipated usage.

4.5.1.2.4 HORIZONTAL LOADS

The structural system wind design, including components and cladding, and the seismic design must be in accordance with the codes and standards listed in the Applicable Design Criteria paragraph 4.2. Research local wind requirements and indicate in the design analysis and wind calculations whether a wind speed greater than the code minimum is required.

4.6 MATERIALS

The use of the recommended materials and/or alternative materials must be in conformance with the publications listed in the Applicable Design Criteria paragraph 4.2. Any exceptions must be noted. Alternative materials may be submitted to the KO for approval if the Contractor determines the materials are more economically viable for this geographic region. Any material or construction

2-Dec-24 Page 17 of 28 that does not meet the requirements of this SOW or does not meet the applicable codes and standards must be removed and replaced at the Contractor’s expense.

4.6.1 STRUCTURAL STEEL

Structural steel must be of a minimum steel grade equivalent S 235 conforming to the applicable Eurocode standard.

4.6.2 HOLLOW STEEL SECTIONS

Hollow steel sections must be of a minimum steel grade equivalent S 235 conforming to the applicable Eurocode standard.

4.6.3 COLD-FORMED STEEL FRAMING MEMBERS

Cold-formed steel framing members must have a minimum steel grade equivalent S 235 conforming to the applicable Eurocode standard.

4.6.4 WOOD

Wood must be new lumber, undamaged, not infected with insects and show no signs of previous use. It must be chemically protected against termites and other harmful insects or deterioration. Chemical treatment of wooden construction must be non-toxic and harmless to the environment (Contractor to provide proof certificates and manufacturer’s information).

4.7 BUILDING STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS

4.7.1 SUPERSTRUCTURE SYSTEMS

The superstructure system must provide vertical and lateral load carrying capacity and must provide durability, maintainability, and cost effectiveness. Roof openings and all supports for electrical and mechanical equipment must be detailed or adequately described on the drawings or in the specifications. Door openings must be sufficiently strong and solid to support the door structure and keep it level and plumb throughout the life of the structure. The structural designer must ensure that all architectural/mechanical/electrical equipment is properly anchored/braced and that these elements are adequately framed and connected as required by the design criteria, especially where seismic design is required.

4.7.1.1 LATERAL (HORIZONTAL) FORCE RESISTING SYSTEM

Rehabilitation, repair, replacement, or new elements comprising the lateral force resisting system in the buildings must be compatible with the existing structural elements.

4.7.1.2 STRUCTURAL ROOF FRAMING

Roof framing members must be either wood or steel. Roof sheathing must be corrugated metal and must be of sufficient thickness to perform as a lateral diaphragm for transferring lateral loads to the main lateral force resisting system (shear walls). Existing trusses/joists used for roof framing must be verified for new loads, and reinforced if required by analysis. The new metal deck is expected to be lighter than the concrete tiles, and minimal truss/joists reinforcement is expected. For bidding purposes, assume 10% of trusses/joists will be reinforced by doubling up the framing members.

Ensure the new metal deck is properly anchored to the supporting structure (truss/joists) using approved fasteners. Contractor must submit calculations demonstrating the metal deck fastening is adequate for gravity, lateral, and uplift loads.

See Architectural Section of this document for insulation, roof covering, and other architectural related roof elements. The roof must be sloped in accordance with the Architectural Section of this document.
