The liesder for the double garege door was a 12W 19# Light Beam (steel) that provided approximately 5,500 pif support fnr the floor above. 7'he bcam waz also laterally supportod and encased in Y. " plywood. 1 consider ihis proper support for the sWcture above. The ends had adequale support on at least three Timbecsuand or equal studs. The transferred load to the footing below would be spread over more than three feet of 20 wide footings which would also give adequate support considering a minimum soil bearing prmure of 2,000 Ns per square foot of footing area. A question ofcomer brocing was considered. 1 detertnined the following: rl? ?r0t • The plywood facing on tlhe beam (ebove) gives the comer some support. rec ? 1 ommended that the corner be sheathed with 518^ CDX plywood fmro the 24" above the door to the comer ? and for 18" to 24° on the retum wall. This would give the corner adequate support for wind loads. ? The other end is at the enhance. There is a block watf on the far side of the entrance door hame wliich will ? J'a L give some stabiliry to the interior side of the garage door opening. The return wall should be supported as ind+cated io the previous item. ? 77iese extra bracings wiU give adequate 90 psf wind load su reductions. pport for at ground level including ground Ievel 1 noticed that similar situa[ions wero found at 4153, 4157, 41614165, 4169, 4173 and 4177 Old Sibley Metnorial Highway.
