RE: Carmel Building Permit # 04090082
Judy,
I have reviewed your engineered stamped drawing showing '/, inch all-thread rod with a
threaded coupler to perform the function required in the Indiana Residential Building Code
Section 403.6 to anchor the wall base plate to the foundation.
This method is acceptable in the City of Carmel. However, we cannot approve the
installation for the following reasons;
1. The rough-in inspection conducted on 11-16-2004 item # 2 was for missing foundation
bolts at comers and butted ends of wall base plates. In order to install this type of rod more
technical information must be submitted to show how the rod in the block wall and below the
floor is held in place. Usually in this type of application a epoxy adhesive is installed in the
concrete to hold the rod in place. Your drawing does not show this.
2. The drawing shows a standard V, inch x 19 inch anchor bolt. Standard anchor bolts have
a 90 degree offset to secure the rod to the foundation or footer.
We can meet at the property to perform a "performance test". This will require your
company to loosen two bolt nuts, insert a 36 inch pry bar under the nut and washer and exert a
force equal to the minimum uplift force as specified by code.
Please call and scheduled a timed inspection so that we can resolve this matter as soon as
possible.
Sincerely,
James A. Ochs
Building Inspector
