Ordinance No. 1563 <br /> materials used in the structural systems and <br /> information regarding their present conditions; and <br /> (e) the date of original construction, if known. <br /> <br /> 2. Investiqation and Evaluation of Structural System. <br /> The items to be investigated and methods of <br /> investigation and analysis are contained in this <br /> ordinance. Calculations and supporting documents <br /> prepared in this process shall be made a part of <br /> the report. <br /> <br /> 3. Test Reports. All field and laboratory test <br /> results shall be included in the report. A <br /> statement regarding the significance of the test <br /> results shall be made for each type of structural <br /> system or feature tested. <br /> <br /> 4. Conclusions and Recommendations. Based on the <br /> investigation and analysis of the building's <br /> seismic-resisting structural systems, a statement <br /> shall be provided to explain in lay terms the types <br /> of deficiencies in the event of an earthquake, and <br /> a recommendation for remedial actions to correct <br /> them. <br /> <br /> D. Exceptions and Alternatives- Exceptions to the specific <br /> items required to be included in the structural <br /> engineering reports may be granted by the Building <br /> Official upon review of a written request from the <br /> engineer preparing the report. Such a request shall <br /> provide evidence that adequate information concerning the <br /> required item(s) can be determined by alternate means, or <br /> that a satisfactory conclusion on the building's seismic <br /> resistance can be reached without following one or more <br /> of the procedures contained in this ordinance. The <br /> purpose of granting such exceptions shall be to reduce <br /> the costs or disruption that would result from taking <br /> required actions, when it can be shown that they are <br /> unnecessary to provide information available by other <br /> equivalent means. The decision of the Building Official <br /> in granting exceptions is final. <br /> <br /> E. Review of the Reports. The City shall review each report <br /> for compliance with the procedures set forth in Appendix <br /> B and those of this section. Reports not in compliance <br /> with these requirements will be required to be corrected <br /> and resubmitted for review. The in-place shear test <br /> results will be the basis for classifying buildings into <br /> Category I. The City will notify property owners of that <br /> determination within six weeks of the City's receiving a <br /> report indicating average mortar shear strength of less <br /> than 30 psi. <br /> <br /> ( s r922200. sV2 ) 6 <br /> <br /> <br />
