Reinforcement Construction • Major Components of Reinforement • Roof Purlins(Joist) -members spanning greater length than they can support. • Mansard -Sloped roof along west elevation very poorly constructed. • Roof Trusses - Damage to members, buckling, member failure, complete truss failure. • Items associated with Atrium and the Bearing Wall that was removed.
Reinforcement Construction • Component Reinforcements • Mansard: Reinforced with additional wood framing and “simpsonstrong tie accessories” • Roof Purlins: Existing Purlins doubled to accommodate the span • Atrium: Sevaral repairs associated with trusses, bearing,
Reinforcement Construction • Component Reinforcements • Roof Trusses: Structural Steel members engineered and added to provide enough strength to carry the existing structural load. • Structural Steel will replace the wood as the structure of the building. Wood will still be in place. Wood will not be straightened. • Cable bottom chord: Cables will now act as the bottom chord of our steel system.
