I will do seismic retrofit, shear wall, hold down structural plans
john
About this gig
Protect your property investment and ensure structural safety. I specialize in designing seismic retrofits, shear walls, and hold-down fastening systems for residential properties.
If you are dealing with a vulnerable "soft-story" structure (like a garage with living space above), unbraced cripple walls, or are modifying your home with larger window openings, you need an engineered lateral force resisting system. I deliver code-compliant layouts utilizing standard industry hardware (Simpson Strong-Tie, MiTek) to lock your home securely to its foundation.
What this gig offers:
- Shear Wall Schedules: Plywood thickness, framing requirements, and precise edge-nailing patterns.
- Hold-Down & Anchor Bolt Layouts: Specification of epoxy or mechanical anchors (e.g., HDU2, HDU5, Titan HD) into existing or new concrete.
- Cripple Wall Bracing: Standard retrofits adhering to FEMA Chapter 3 / CEBC Chapter A3 standards.
- Collector & Drag Strut Details: Ensuring structural loads flow seamlessly to your lateral systems.
