Background
The insured risk is a convenience store having gas pumps at the front and a separate liquor store
attached and to the right.
King Street runs in the north/south direction. The front of 60 King Street faces east. The building has
4094 square feet of conditioned space.
The building was constructed in 1968. It has one floor, on a concrete slab on grade.
Exterior walls are comprised of 8-inch hollow masonry block. Block height is 9 feet 4 inches.
The roof is wood framed and unvented. Rafter cavities are stuffed with kraft faced fiberglass batt
insulation. Roof slope is 3:12 around the area of impact. At the point of impact, a masonry pier
carrying a roof beam that spans perpendicular to the front wall was displaced. At inspection, the beam
was temporarily supported.
Going forward, the best way to describe the situation is through sketches SK-1 and SK-2.
Site Inspection
In this report, all directions are given as viewing the front of the subject structure from King Street.
Unless otherwise stated, no material or destructive testing was performed. During the site inspection,
the following conditions were observed and are relevant to the requested investigation.
The truck removed a masonry pier supporting a main roof beam at center of the impact(Photo#1).
Right of the roof beam was a triangular entry, whereas there was a cover (roof and ceiling) over the
slab. Entry was behind where photo was taken(Photos#2, #3).
The front roof, right of main roof beam, slopes down to the front wall on a 3:12 spore. Rafters are
supported above the front wall by a steel post that is attached to the main roof beam that was supported
by the masonry pier that was dislodged(Photos #4,#5).
Mr. John Murray January 12, 2021
LaMarche Associates, Inc. NFC File: MA-54237-PC
Page 3
Left of the main roof beam, rafters bear on top of the main roof beam that had the supporting masonry
pier dislodged (Photos#6, #7).
There was an insulated wall above the opening for the main entry (Photos#8, #9).
An aluminum threshold remains at point of entry(Photo#10).
Left of the main roof beam had glazing below a multi-wythe brick facade (Photos #11, #12, #13, #14,
#15, #16, #17, #18).
The roof beam at left bears on a masonry pier, likely similar to the one that was dislodged (Photo#19).
The foundation was comprised of 8-inch hollow block (Photo #20). At the pier, the cells were filled
with grout.
Left of the main roof beam, there was 4-inch masonry block behind one wythe of clay brick (Photos
#21, #22).
Left of the main roof beam, the brick facade was supported by a 3 '/2-inch x 3 '/2-inch x 5/16-inch angle
that was bent. This angle was previously bearing on the masonry pier that was dislodged (Photos #23,
#24, #25).
Right of the main roof beam, a beam above the front wall is attached to the main roof beam (Photo
#26).
The beam above the front wall is supported by a tube steel post, 9 feet 9 inches from the main roof
beam (Photo#27).
Between the two roof beams that bear in the front wall, and below the brick, there appears to have been
glazing (Photos#28, #29).
Refer to sketches SK-3, SK-4.

Discussion
The City of Northampton will require a stamped plan for repairs. Plans are to have repaired damage
meet current code. is report shall present information to develo an estimate. If the insured cannot
work out a stamped plan with his contractor and engineer, please contact me.
In looking at the elevation on SK-3, the left pier remains, while the glazing between the left pier and
the pier at right was fractured, as was the pier supporting the steel beam. A brick veneer above the
lintel remains. The entry, which was all glazing, including the door, was fractured and removed. The
masonry block wall at right has one block missing at the top.
In discussions with the insured, it was aereed to remove the brick veneer, as it is only dead load and,
since it is covered on the exterior, serves no purpose. Use of brick with no insulation will allow much
heat loss through this area. Area will be re-framed in wood with an allowance to install the glazing
that existed prior to the truck hitting the wall.
I dialogued with the contractor, Richard Rivet, on Monday, January 4, about repairs. His plan was to
install a masonry pier to support the beam, replacing what existed. I called his engineer, Paul
Campagna, P.E., to discuss repairs. As this is written there has been no response.
In looking at the store prior to impact, via Google street view, the center steel beam is on the edge of
the supporting masonry pier. Block beneath the pier is grouted solid. The foundation left of the center
pier is comprised of 8-inch hollow masonry block.
Original construction of the beam being offset and bearing on the masonry block pier is no longer
allowed, nor is use of hollow masonry block used for an exterior wall as it was at right of entry. Top
of the wall must be restrained, and the ceiling above insulated.
The block wall right of entry shall be removed and replaced with a wood framed wall.
Ground snow load in Northampton is 40 pounds per square foot. Maximum wind speed is 106 miles
per hour. The City is not requiring controlled construction, just a stamped plan informing them that
proposed design meets current code requirements.
Mr. John Murray January 12, 2021
LaMarche Associates,Inc. NFC File: MA-54237-PC
Page 5
Original construction was flawed, in that, there was no resistance to wind forces at the entry recess.
Use of unremforced masonry block is now antiquated, no longer used to support a structure. The roof
was supported to carry code applied snow loads, and the front entry was tied to the main columns to
resist lateral wind forces. The front wall, where there was brick, had no insulation. Massachusetts did
not have a building code until 1975, so this building pre-dates any official building code. The code
considers this building to be functioning/noncon orming. Those structural members that were
damaged by the truck are to be replaced with members that meet current code, without requiring the
entire structural system to be brought up to current code.
Conclusions
Based on my personal site inspection, my review of the information presented and 40 years of
experience as a structural engineer, I offer the following opinions, within a reasonable degree of
professional certainty:
1. Damages are per sketches SK-3, SK-4. Repair to those damages is per sketches SK-5, SK-6
and SK- I re-supported the roof with steel columns supported by concrete piers on a spread
footing. The front wall above the window shall be wood framed and insulated. Sketches SK-5,
SK-6 and SK-7 are to be used to develop an estimate. If the contractor and his engineer have
other ideas, it is acceptable, as long as the repair plan has a stamp on it going to the City.
2. The owner will have to pick out a window to replace what was fractured in the front wall.
Likewise, the owner will have to pick out an entry door within the recess, similar to what had
previously existed. There is an aluminum threshold on the floor of the entry that will likely
have to be relocated.
Repair recommendations, if provided, are for reference only and shall not be used as a construction
document. All work should be performed by a Massachusetts-licensed contractor and performed in
accordance with all applicable state and local building codes and standards.
