a. Where weathering requires a higher strength concrete or grade
of masonry than necessary to satisfy the structural requirements of
this code, the frost line depth strength required for weathering shall
govern. The weathering column shall be filled in with the weathering
index, "negligible," "moderate" or severe" for concrete as determined
from Figure R301.2(4). The grade of masonry units shall be determined
from ASTM C34, C55, C62, C73, C90, C129, C 45, C216, or C652.
|
b. Where the frost line depth requires deeper footings than
indicated in Figure R403.1(1). The frost line depth strength required
for weathering shall govern. The jurisdiction shall fill in the frost
line depth column with the minimum depth of footing below finish grade.
|
c. The jurisdiction shall fill in this part of the table to
indicate the need for protection depending on whether there has been
a history of local subterranean termite damage.
|
d. The jurisdiction shall fill in this part of the table with
the wind speed from the basic wind speed map [Figure R301.2(5)A].
Wind exposure category shall be determined on a site-specific basis
in accordance with Section R301.2.1.4.
|
e. The outdoor design dry-bulb temperature shall be selected
form the columns of 97-1/2 percent values for winter from Appendix
D of the lnternational Plumbing Code. Deviations from the Appendix
D temperatures shall be permitted to reflect local climates or local
weather experience as determined by the Building Official. [Also see
Figure R301.2(1).]
|
f. The jurisdiction shall fill in this part of the table with
the seismic design category determined from Section R301.2.2.1.
|
g. The jurisdiction shall fill in this part of the table with:
(a) the date of the jurisdiction's entry into the National Flood Insurance
Program (date of adoption of the first code ordinance for management
of flood hazard areas), (b) the date(s) of the Flood Insurance Study,
and (c) the panel numbers and dates of all currently effective FIRMs
and FBFMs or other flood hazard map adopted by the authority having
jurisdiction, as amended.

R905.6.3.1, R905.7.3.1, and R905.8.3.1, where there has been a history
of local damage from the effects of ice damming, the jurisdiction
shall fill in this part of the table with "YES." Otherwise, the jurisdiction
shall fill in this part of the table with "NO."
|
i. The jurisdiction shall fill in this part of the table with
the 100-year return period air freezing index (BF-days) from Figure
R403.3(2) or from the 100-year (99 percent) value on the National
Climatic Data Center data table "Air Freezing Index-USA Method (Base
32° F.)."
|

the mean annual temperature from the National Climatic Data Center
data table "Air Freezing Index-USA Method (Base 32°F.)".
|
k. In accordance with Section R301.2.1.5, where there is local
historical data documenting structural damage to buildings due to
topographic wind speed-up effects, the jurisdiction shall fill in
this part of the table with "YES." Otherwise, the jurisdiction shall
indicate "NO" in this part of the table.
|
