• STRUCTURAL INSPECTION - Masonry Wall Repair
  
  
  I. Purpose of Investigation:
  
  At the request of the owner's representative, we performed an inspection and structural
  investigation of a damaged and leaning exterior (east) masonry wall, and some interior
  masonry partition walls which are leaning out from columns that are to provide lateral
  support.
  
  The purpose is to create a repair design for the existing walls, and to create a standard
  design for future interior partition wall installations.
  
  
  II. Description of Building:
  
  The building is a one storey, steel framed industrial structure with non-load bearing
  masonry exterior walls and interior partition walls. Age is approximately 40 years.
  The current facility use is generally industrial equipment storage.
  
  
  III. Recommendations:
  
  East wall - must be brought back into plumb, and stiffened with bond beam and girt.
  The attached design sketches show details for this repair.
  
  Interior partition walls - some of the existing walls require the installation of column
  clips for stability. Existing walls should be re-plumbed prior to installing clips. The
  attached design sketches show proper details for these interior walls in general as well.
