The basis for edge distances and spacing between rows (Figure 19)is NDS Tables 11.5.1A and 11.5.1 D, respectively,for perpendicular to grain conditions.Per NDS Table 11.5.IA,edge distance is 41)(where D is fastener diameter)for the loaded edge.For 1/z"diameter bolts,41)=2" edge distance.

Another interpretation is that the term"as applicable"in With respect to hold down tension devices,IRC R502.2.2 means the provision is only required for code R502.2.2 requires anchorage to the primary structure for prescribed loads.The only code prescribed lateral loads both vertical and lateral loads as applicable.Further,the are wind and seismic.

GUARD REQUIREMENTS to falls over the top of the guard due to individuals Figure 24 requires that openings not allow the passage of standing on deck seats. a 4"diameter sphere.However,it does not address openings underneath a fixed deck bench used in place of IRC Table R301.5 requires guard in-fill components(all guards.All openings,including those underneath those except the handrail),balusters,and panel fillers to benches used in place of guards,shall not allow the be designed to withstand a horizontally applied normal passage of a 4" diameter sphere. load of 50 pounds on an area equal to 1 square foot. This load need not be assumed to act concurrently with any Additionally,if fixed seating is adjacent to guards,the other live load requirement.Baluster connection guard height should be measured from the seat rather requirements shown in Figure 24 have been designed to than the deck surface.This will help minimize exposure resist that load. GUARD POST ATTACHMENTS Both the IRC and International Building Code(IBC) This section requires deck guard posts to be at least 4x4 specify that guardrails and handrails be capable of nominal with a reference bending design value not less resisting a minimum concentrated live load of 200 lbs than 1,100 psi to ensure sufficient bending stress in the applied in any direction.Commonly used residential post.Assuming the lever arm is 39.5" (36"+ 1.5"deck guardrail post connections were laboratory tested at the board+2"edge distance),the bending moment is 39.5" required load level for a code-conforming assembly per x 200 lbs=7,900 in-lbs.Bending stress,fb,is calculated the IBC(Loferski et al.,2006).A commercially available as follows: connector,typically used in shear wall construction,was s tested in a post-to-deck residential guardrail assembly. M/S(4x4)=7,900 in-lbs/7.146 in = 1,106 psi. The connection passed a load test based on code No.2 grades of all Table 2 species meet this requirement provisions for a"tested assembly."Connection details in with the following assumptions.The adjusted bending Figures 25 and 26 reflect these test results. design value,F'b,is based on a wet service factor,CM= A minimum requirement of 1,800 lbs for the hold down 0.85,and incising factor,Ci=0.80(Douglas fir-larch, connector ensures adequate capacity(Loferski et al., hem-fir,spruce-pine-fir).A load duration factor,CD= 2005)for a 36"maximum rail height.A higher rail 1.6,is assumed for consistency with the hold down height requires design of a higher capacity connector. device used to connect the guard to the j oist. Manufacturers'tabulated values for hold down Figures 25 and 26 show minimum and maximum connectors typically include a load duration(CD) spacing requirements for bolts in deck joists and deck increase of 60%since connectors for shear walls are rim boards.The 5"maximum spacing is per footnote 2 used to resist wind and seismic loads.The 200 lbs of NDS Table 11.5.ID.This requirement is based on concentrated load requirement for guard rails is assumed potential shrinkage of the joist or rim board which could to be a 10 minute load duration(e.g.it would not see a create tension perpendicular to grain stresses if the outer maximum 200 lbs outward load for more than 10 edges of the deck joist or rim are constrained by bolts. minutes cumulatively in its lifetime).Therefore,Cr=1.6 is used for hold downs in this application.

Staude Sent: Tuesday, February 05, 2008 10:03 AM To: William P. Martineau; Paul J. Gallagher Subject: 22 Commonwealth Chief This is a copy of an incident report from the 3rd of February . I was concerned about the condition of the front entrance of the apartment and wondered if the apartment was a legal third floor apartment. Following the incident that I was involved in Officer Daley responded several hours later for a possible overdose while in the apartment Daley learned that the only heat source was the gas stove. 2/20/2008 Page 2 of 2 I Detective Jay Staude report the following: On 2/3/07 at approximately 6:45 p.m.,I was dispatched to 22 Commonwealth Ave following a can to the station from Rebecca MILNES. MILNES stated that her landlord Rudy CATALDO had come to apartment earlier in the evening and threatened to throw her out of the apartment by her throat. MILNES also stated that CATALDO had entered her apartment around 8 a.m., Thursday 1131108 and woke her as she was sleeping in her bed. I spoke with CATALDO by telephone and advised him that if he wanted to remove MILNES from the apartment that he would need to go through the proper channels at Lawrence District Court. I also advised CATALDO that he should not enter the apartment without the permission of MILNES unless it was an emergency. CATALDO stated, "It's my house In come and go as I please!" I was also concerned with the front entrance of the 3rd floor apartment as it was narrow, unfinished and not well lit.I asked CATALDO if the 3rd floor apartment was a legal apartment to which CATALDO responded " What are you the building inspector now?" CATALDO complained that MILNES and MILNES' guest's were smoking pot in the apartment and throwing bottles out the windows. CATALDO has not reported these incidents to the North Andover Police. I told CATALDO that I was obligated to report my observations to the North Andover Building Inspector and the North Andover Fire Department CATALDO was advised not to enter the apartment without making prior arrangements with MILNES or he may be subject to arrest. CATALDO stated "Ill do what I please and you'll have to arrest me. 2/20/2008
