Vreeland Design Associates Re: Randy and Margaret Kmtowski, Lot 171 Emerson Way, Florence, MA: Proposed braced walls adjacent to garage doors. Dear Chuck, I have consulted with Jay Heilman, Project Manager, Pecoy Homes,on the attached garage corner bracing for the new residence at Lot 171 Emerson Way, Florence. Because of how the garage is integrated into the main house construction and the diaphragm action of the garage ceiling, I have determined that just the two outside corners adjacent to the double garage doors are needed to be reinforced for wind bracing. Jay has proposed using Simpson Steel Strong Wall Garage Portal System panels#SS W I2xs with high strength#S S W AB3l4x24 bolts,two per panel.The calculated tension load on the panels at a basic wind speed of 90 mph is 5.,625 lbs. The allowable tension load for the Simpson panel is 11,305 lbs. 1 certify that the Simpson Strong Wall#SS W I2xS panels bracing panels are in compliance with the structural requirements of the cull a it Mass State Building Code.

Vapor retarders.Although these are still in the code have exceptions, one must understand that there is a difference between a vapor retarder or barrier and an air barrier. An air barrier is intended to stop air flow(convection)a vapor retarder or barrier is intended to stop molecular moisture transfer(diffusion). A vapor retarder or barrier is effective even if there are some holes or gaps, however an air barrier has to be absolute and complete. If air can leak through an electrical device or through a crack it follows the path of least resistance and carries 99%of the moisture in a structure.This is evident every time one exposes fiberglass insulation and finds black insulation, which has filtered dirt out of the air moving through the insulation. 780 CMR R601.2 for vapor retarders and Table N1102.4.2 for air sealing requirements. 41.
