49930 N Santiam Hwy SE SITE VISIT REPORT <br /> ldanha, OR 97350-9503 State Farm Claim No. 37-11K4-75P <br /> of the joists from the ledger at the West exterior wall to the beam adjacent to the <br /> stairs was measured to be 17.69 ft. Assuming approximately 7 pounds per square <br /> foot (psf) of dead load, the maximum allowable live load would be 31.5 psf. The <br /> minimum residential design live load for "sleeping areas" and "habitable attics" is 30 <br /> psf, which means that the mezzanine floor joists would meet this requirement. <br /> However, for "other areas" the minimum design live load is 40 psf, which the joists <br /> do not meet. <br /> l ` y <br /> CHECKS (CRACKS) IN FLOOR JOIST, AND PLAYROOM ABOVE [FIGURES 28, 29] <br /> Right Photo Credit: Brandi Taylor <br /> Based on photos of the playroom, the floor appears lightly loaded with objects <br /> and would still be relatively lightly loaded when occupied as a playroom for children. <br /> Note that for a space that is 17 ft. x 17 ft. (as an example), the allowable total live <br /> load using 30 psf would be 8,670 lbs., evenly distributed. If that space were to be <br /> filled with people weighing an average of 150 lbs. each, then that would be about 58 <br /> people. Nevertheless, the Owner should take measures to ensure that the mezzanine <br /> floor loading does not ever exceed 30 psf. <br /> I <br /> I <br /> Report Date: March 28, 2021 Page 13 of 44 <br /> Site Visit Date: March 6, 2021 Taylor & Syfan Consulting Engineers, Inc. <br />
