LARRY INSPECTED 10/1/04: SEVERE

STRUCTURAL DAMAGE ON CBS & FRAME WALL,

CBS WALL SUPPORTING END WALL HAS BROKEN

& SHIFTED 2". CEILING IN WEIGHT ROOM

HAS FALLEN DOWN, INTERIOR WALLS HAVE

BUCKLED, ELECTRICAL RISER HAS PULLED

AWAY FROM WALL, METAL ROOFING & RAFTER

TAILS TURNED LOOSE.

SY INSPECTED: THIS STRUCTURE IS A

WOOD FRAME BUILDING WITH A 32" HIGH

BLOCK KNEEWALL AROUND THE PERIMETER. IT

HAS A RAFTER ROOF SYSTEM WITH BRACES

BOLTED TO THE RAFTERS AT MID SPAN.

EXTENSIVE DAMAGE WAS DONE TO THE EAST

WALL. THE CONCRETE BLOCKS THAT MAKE UP

THE KNEEWALL WERE SEPARATED HORIZONTALLY

BY THE WIND PRESSURE EXERTED ON THE

ENTIRE END WALL. THE TOP COURSE OF THE

BLOCKS WERE POURED, BUT THERE WERE NO

VERTICAL POURS MADE TO STRENGTHEN THE

WALL. THIS LACK OF VERTICAL POUR WAS

COMMON AT THE TIME OF THIS CONSTRUCTION.

THE WIND PRESSURE ALSO SEPARATED THE END

RAFTER FROM THE HORIZONTAL ROOF TIES

CONNECTED TO EACH RAFTER. THIS PART CAN

BE EASILY FIXED BUT THE BLOCK WALL WILL

NEED TO BE REBUILT WITH SOME VERTICAL

CELL POURS ADDED. THIS WILL REQUIRE THE

WOOD FRAME END WALL ABOVE THE BLOCK

SECTION TO BE REMOVED OR SUPPORTED IN

SOME MANNER. UNTIL THESE REPAIRS ARE

COMPLETED, I DO NOT CONSIDER THIS

BUILDING TO BE SAFE TO OCCUPY. THE

POTENTIAL OF THE WOOD FRAME END WALL TO

COLLAPSE IS POSSIBLE DUE TO THE

CONDITION OF THE SUPPORTING BLOCK WALL

SECTION.
