B) Structural Masonry Special Inspection
All of the structural masonry on this project,including wall piers and pilasters,was designed
for one-half of the allowable stresses as per 1997 U.B.C. Section 2107.1.2. Based on this half
stress design, special inspection per U.B.C. Section 1701 is not required. It was our
understanding that the City of Glendale plan reviewer asked for special inspection of the
pilasters only and not for the balance of the walls. We questioned this requirement since the
. one-half stress design was clearly shown in our calculations. It was decided at the time to
concede to inspection of the pilasters only in order to expedite approval of the building
permit. Again,special inspection of the structural masonry is not required by this office based
• • • on our design. This unnecessary requirement will create undue costs for your firm. It may
be worth an attempt to have the building department waive this requirement,
Please contact us if there are any additional questions on these issues. `
