DEDUCT ALTERNATES

DEDUCT ALTERNATE NUMBER 1 - Delete all elevator work pertaining to specification section 14 24 00 Hydraulic Elevator. Elevator shaft to remain in project. Add to frame elevator shaft opening on the basement, first floor, and second floor with a two hour fire rated shaft wall system with 5/8” gypsum wallboard to face of shaft wall on the elevator lobby side of the opening; ensure face of gypsum board aligns with adjacent gypsum board; paint gypsum wallboard.

DEDUCT ALTERNATE NUMBER 2: Delete all roof repair work in Project 2 (FCA Out Patient Mental Health Renovation Building 6 First Floor, VA Medical Center, Bedford, Massachusetts 518-18-035).

DEDUCT ALTERNATE NUMBER 3: Delete all bathroom basement work and filling of abandoned steam trenches in Project 2 (FCA Out Patient Mental Health Renovation Building 6 First Floor, VA Medical Center, Bedford, Massachusetts 518-18-035).

GENERAL NOTES - STRUCTURAL

1. General Information

A. The contractor shall verify dimensions and conditions before construction and notify the engineer of any discrepancies, inconsistencies, or difficulties affecting the work before proceeding.

B. The contractor shall coordinate all disciplines, verifying size and location of all openings, whether shown on structural drawings or not, as called for on architectural, mechanical, or electrical drawings. In the case of work in an existing building the contractor shall scan existing structure to locate all rebar in the area of the new core/opening using ground penetrating radar and notify the engineer of record for review prior to coring/cutting. Conflicts, inconsistencies, or other difficulties affecting structural work shall be called to the architect or engineer's attention for direction before proceeding.

C. All design and construction work for this project shall conform to the requirements of the following governing design codes:

1.) International Building Code (IBC 2012) as amended by the city of Bedford. MA 2.) Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures (ASCE7-10) 3.) Specification for Structural Steel Buildings (AISC 360-10)

Member Design Basis is Allowable Stress Design (ASD) Connection Design Basis is Allowable Stress Design (ASD)

4.) Structural Welding Code (AWS D1.3-98) 5.) Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete (ACI 318-11) 6.) Building Code Requirements for Masonry Structures (ACI 530-11/TMS 402-11) 7.) North American Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural

Members (AISI S100-07/S1-1) 8.) National Design Specification (NDS) for Wood Constriction with 2012

Supplements (ANSI/AWC NDS-2012) 9.) Special Design Provisions for Wind and Seismic (AWC SDPWS-2008)

D. These drawings are for this specific project and no other use is authorized.

2. Structural Load Design Criteria

A. Stair Live = 100psf B. Roof Live = 20psf; Roof Collateral Dead = 10psf C. Snow: Pg = 50psf, Pf =35psf, Is = 1.0, Ce = 1.0, Ct = 1.0, Drift per ASCE/SEI 7 D. Lateral Loads:

1.) Wind: V = 136 mph, Exposure B Occupancy [Risk] Category II, Iw=1.0 GCpi=+/-0.18 Design wind pressures to be used for the design of exterior component and cladding materials on the designated zones of wall and roof surfaces shall be per section 30.7 and Table 30.7-2 of ASCE/SEI 7. Tabulated pressures shall be multiplied by effective area reduction factors, exposure adjustment factors, and topographic factors where applicable

2.) Seismic: Ss = 0.223, S1 = 0.071 Occupancy [Risk] Category II, Ie=1.0, Site Classification D; Sds = 0.238; Sd1 = 0.114 Seismic Design Category B Basic Seismic Force-resisting System:

E. This project is designed to resist the most critical effects resulting from the load combinations of section 1605.3 of the International Building Code.

3. Concrete

A. All concrete for foundations (walls, grade beams, footings and piers) shall develop minimum ultimate compressive design strength of 3500 psi in 28 days, but not less than 500 pounds of cement shall be used per cubic yard of concrete regardless of strengths obtained, not over 6 gallons of water per 100 pounds of cement and not over 4 inches of slump.

B. All concrete for interior flatwork shall develop minimum ultimate compressive design strength of 4000 psi in 28 days, but not less than 540 pounds of cement shall be used per cubic yard of concrete regardless of strengths obtained, not over 5.40 gallons of water per 100 pounds of cement and not over 4 inches of slump. Concrete mix shop drawing shall contain testing data proving concrete design mix shrinkage is less than 0.034% at 28 days when tested according to ASTM C157 (air drying method only).

C. All concrete for exterior flatwork shall have a minimum design compressive strength of 4500 psi in 28 days, with not less than 560 pounds of cement per cubic yard of concrete, not over 5 gallons of water per 100 pounds of cement, with 6% +/- 1% air entrainment, and a maximum of 4 inches of slump.

D. The preceding minimum mix requirements may have water-reducing admixtures conforming to ASTM C494 added to the mix at manufacturer's dosage rates for improved workability.

E. The preceding minimum mix requirements may have up to 15% maximum of the cement content replaced with an approved ASTM C618 Class C fly ash, provided the total minimum cementitious content is not reduced.

F. Combined aggregate (coarse plus fine) for all concrete shall be well graded from coarsest to finest with no more than 18 percent and not less than 8 percent retained on an individual sieve, except that less than 8 percent may be retained on coarsest sieve and on No. 50 and finer sieves. Submit this gradation report with the concrete mix design shop drawings.

G. All interior concrete slabs on grade shall be placed over 15 mil, Class A Vapor Barrier per ASTM E1745 with less than 0.01 perms, tested after mandatory conditioning. All joints shall be lapped and sealed per manufacturer's recommendations. All penetrations, as well as damaged vapor barrier material shall also be sealed per manufacturer's recommendation prior to concrete placement. Install barrier per manufacturer recommended details at all discontinuous edges (at interior columns, exterior edge of slab, etc.) to ensure terms of warranty are followed. The vapor barrier shall be placed over free-draining granular material as prescribed by the project soils report.

H. All concrete is reinforced concrete unless specifically called out as unreinforced.

Reinforce all concrete not otherwise shown with same steel as in similar sections or areas. Any details not shown shall be detailed per ACI 315 and meet requirements of ACI 318, current editions.

I. Control joints in dirt formed slab to be as shown on plans. Where not shown, limit controlled areas to not more than 144 square feet, or 12 feet on any side.

Slab panel side ratio shall not exceed 1 1/2 to 1.

J. Contractor shall verify that all concrete inserts, reinforcing and embedded items are correctly located and rigidly secured prior to concrete placement.

K. Construction joints in beams, slabs, and grade beams shall occur at midspan (middle third) unless noted otherwise. Provide 2 x 4 horizontal keys at construction joints for shear transfer.

L. No aluminum items shall be embedded in any concrete.

4. Reinforcing Steel

A. All reinforcing steel shall conform to the requirements of ASTM A615 or A706 grade 60 steel. Welded plain wire fabric shall be supplied in sheets and conform to the requirements of ASTM A185.

B. Clear minimum coverage of concrete over reinforcing steel shall be as follows:

1.) Concrete placed against earth: 3" 2.) Formed concrete against earth: 2" 3.) Slabs: 1" 4.) Beams or Columns: 1-1/2" 5.) Other 2" All coverage shall be nominal bar diameter minimum.

C. All dowels shall be the same size and spacing as adjoining main bars (splice lap 48 bar diameters or 24" minimum unless noted otherwise).

D. At corners of all walls, beams, and grade beams supply corner bars (minimum 2'-0" in each direction or 48 bar diameters) in outside face of wall, matching size and spacing of horizontal bars.
