ULTIMATE TENDON ANCHORAGE STRENGTH.

THE FOUNDATION FOR THE STRUCTURE HAS BEEN DESIGNED FOR THE
FOLLOWING ALLOWABLE SOIL BEARING PRESSURES AT A DEPTH OF 25 FT
BELOW EXISTING GRADE:

TOTAL LOAD

02.16
03.17

STRUCTURE HAS BEEN DESIGNED BASED ON A MAXIMUM POTENTIAL VERTICAL

RISE (PVR) OF 1 INCH. PER THE PROJECT GEOTECHNICAL REPORT, THE SLABS
ON GRADE WILL REQUIRE A MINIMUM OF 8 FT OF SELECT NON-EXPANSIVE
MATERIAL BELOW THE SLAB EXTENDING THROUGHOUT THE BUILDING LIMITS
AND UNDER THE ADJOINING FLATWORK. REFER TO THE GEOTECHNICAL REPORT
FOR ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS.

DRILLED AND UNDERREAMED PIERS

STRUCTURAL STEEL DETAILING, FABRICATION AND ERECTION SHALL CONFORM

TO THE AISC "SPECIFICATION FOR STRUCTURAL STEEL BUILDINGS" AND THE
MARCH 2000 VERSION OF THE AISC "CODE OF STANDARD PRACTICE FOR STEEL
BUILDINGS AND BRIDGES".

ELEVATOR SHAFT AND SUPPORT BEAMS HAVE BEEN DESIGNED AND DETAILED
BASED ON A(N) KONE ECOSPACE 3500 LB CAPACITY ELEVATOR. THE ELEVATOR
CONTRACTOR SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONNECTION OF THE MACHINE
BEAMS AND/OR SECONDARY BEAMS TO THE STRUCTURE. SHOP DRAWINGS FOR
THE ELEVATORS SHOWING CONNECTION DETAILS, LOCATION AND MAGNITUDE OF
LOADS APPLIED TO THE STRUCTURE, ETC. SHALL BE SUBMITTED TO STRUCTURAL
ENGINEER FOR VERIFICATION OF DESIGN ASSUMPTIONS.
THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR AND SUBCONTRACTORS SHALL DETERMINE THE
SCOPE OF THE STRUCTURAL WORK FROM THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS TAKEN AS
A WHOLE. THE STRUCTURAL DRAWINGS SHALL NOT BE CONSIDERED
SEPARATELY FOR PURPOSES OF BIDDING THE STRUCTURAL WORK. DUE
CONSIDERATION SHALL BE GIVEN TO OTHER STRUCTURAL WORK OR WORK
RELATED TO THE STRUCTURE, INCLUDING NECESSARY COORDINATION
DESCRIBED OR IMPLIED BY THE ARCHITECTURAL AND MECHANICAL DRAWINGS.
METHODS, PROCEDURES, AND SEQUENCES OF CONSTRUCTION ARE THE
RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CONTRACTOR. THE CONTRACTOR SHALL TAKE ALL
NECESSARY PRECAUTIONS TO MAINTAIN AND INSURE THE INTEGRITY OF THE
STRUCTURE AT ALL STAGES OF CONSTRUCTION.

01.17

THE REPRODUCTIVE USE OF THE STRUCTURAL CONTRACT DOCUMENTS OR

ELECTRONIC FILES AS STRUCTURAL SHOP DRAWING DOCUMENTS BY THE
CONTRACTOR OR SUB-CONTRACTORS IS AT THEIR OWN RISK. STRUCTURAL
ENGINEER ASSUMES NO LIABILITY AS THE RESULT OF THE REPRODUCTIVE USE
OF THE STRUCTURAL CONTRACT DOCUMENTS FOR SHOP DRAWINGS.

01.18

SCALES NOTED ON THE DRAWINGS ARE FOR GENERAL INFORMATION ONLY. NO

DIMENSIONAL INFORMATION SHALL BE OBTAINED BY DIRECT SCALING OF THE
DRAWINGS.

01.29

THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR COORDINATION OF ALL

RESULTING REVISIONS TO THE STRUCTURAL SYSTEM AS A RESULT OF
ACCEPTANCE OF CONTRACTOR PROPOSED ALTERNATIVES OR SUBSTITUTIONS.

01.20

PRINCIPAL OPENINGS IN THE STRUCTURE ARE INDICATED ON THE CONTRACT

DOCUMENTS. REFER TO THE ARCHITECTURAL, MECHANICAL, ELECTRICAL, AND
PLUMBING DRAWINGS FOR SLEEVES, CURBS, INSERTS, ETC. NOT HEREIN
INDICATED. OPENINGS IN SLABS WITH A MAXIMUM SIDE DIMENSION OR DIAMETER
OF 12 INCHES OR LESS SHALL NOT REQUIRE ADDITIONAL FRAMING OR
REINFORCEMENT, UNLESS NOTED OTHERWISE.THE LOCATION OF SLEEVES OR
OPENINGS IN STRUCTURAL MEMBERS SHALL BE SUBMITTED TO THE STRUCTURAL
ENGINEER FOR REVIEW.
