32C-149 606.2 Replace `reproofing' with `reroofing'. (IEBC typo) 606.2: Add this as a second sentence to exceptions 1 and 2: The cumulative effects since original construction shall be considered. 606.2.1 Replace `D, E, or F' with `B, C, D, E, or F' • (To some extent this is consistent with the 7"' edition section 3408.9.8 which has requirements for URM walls) 606.3.1 Replace `D, E, or F' with `B, C, D, E, or F' (Parapet bracing may be required by the IEBC only when reroofing is being done. The 7 may require parapet bracing depending on the scope of work. and may require it even if roof work is not in the scope of work. Committee feels that with the IEBC requirement in approximately 30 years (life span of avg. roof) all parapets will be reinforced adequately.) 606.3.1 Add this Exception Exception. Masonry parapets with a height to thickness ratio of 2.5 or less. The height of the parapet shall be measured from the level of where the unreinforced masonry walls are connected to the roof diaphragm. (Exception carried forward from the 7th edition. Value of 2.5 is used to be consistent with Appendix Al , Table AI -F) 6063.2 Replace `Where roofing....90 mph or in a special wind region, as defined in Section 1609 of the International Building Code' with `Where roofing materials are removed from the entire roof diaphragm of a building or section of a building located where one of the following conditions apply: 1. the basic wind speed is greater than 90 mph and the occupancy category is type III or type IV as defined in Table 1604.5 of the International Building Code 2009 with Massachusetts Amendments, (780 CMR 1604, Table 1604.5). 2. the basic wind speed is greater than or equal to 105 mph (With this amendment this requirement is triggered when the roof coverng is removed in total and when the building is located in a region with wind speeds greater than or equal to 105 mph. This is less stringent than the IEBC requirement because this is a new requirement m MA and the committee suggests that a less stringent requirement is appropriate at this time The committee feels that this requirement should not be deleted entirely since roof loss has occurred in recent wind events. Note that the committee did not add a time duration requirement.) • 707.4: Add this as a second sentence to exception 1: The cumulative effect of the stress increase since original construction shall be considered for the purposes of this exception. 707.5.1 Add subsection: 707.5.1 Irregularities. Where the alteration results in a structural irregularity as defined in ASCE 7, the lateral load- resisting structural elements shall comply with the structural requirements specified in Section 807.4. (This will trigger at least a minimum check for loads under the basic code. As currently written, no minimum lateral loads are specified if DCR increases less than 10 %.) 807.4.3 At the end of this section add these two sentences: For the purposes of calculating demand - capacity ratios, the demand shall consider applicable load combinations with design lateral loads or forces in accordance with Sections 1609 and 1613 of the International Building Code 2009 with Massachusetts Amendments (780 CMR 1609 and 1613(.
