Las vigas de piso enmarcadas perpendicular o en ángulo a los cimientos perimetrales deberán estar restringidas ya sea por una viga de borde continua nominal de 2 pulgadas de ancho (51 mm) existente o por un bloque nominal de 2 pulgadas de ancho (51 mm) y profundidad total entre vigas alternas en edificios de uno o dos pisos, y entre cada viga en edificios de tres pisos. El bloqueo existente para edificios de varios pisos debe ocurrir en cada espacio entre vigas sobre un panel de muro corto reforzado.

Las conexiones existentes en los bordes superior e inferior de una viga de borde o bloqueo existente no necesitan ser verificadas en edificios de un piso. En edificios de varios pisos, la conexión existente en el borde superior no necesita ser verificada; sin embargo, la conexión en el borde inferior, ya sea a la zapata del cimiento o a la placa superior de un muro corto, deberá ser verificada. La conexión mínima existente en el borde inferior deberá consistir en clavos 8d en ángulo (toenails) espaciados a 6 pulgadas (152 mm) para una viga de borde continua, o tres clavos 8d en ángulo por bloque. Cuando esta conexión mínima en el borde inferior no esté presente o no pueda ser verificada, se deberá proporcionar una conexión suplementaria instalada como se muestra en la Figura A304.1.3 o A304.1.4(2).

Cuando no exista una viga de borde continua o el bloqueo mínimo existente, se deberá proporcionar un bloqueo nuevo de panel estructural de madera de [3] / 4 pulgadas (19.1 mm) o [23] / 32 pulgadas (18 mm) instalado firmemente entre las vigas de piso y clavado como se muestra en la Figura A304.1.4(3) en la cara interior del muro corto. En lugar del bloqueo de panel estructural de madera, se podrá usar bloqueo ajustado de 2 pulgadas (51 mm) de profundidad total.

Para SI: 1 pulgada = 25.4 mm.

[BS] A304.4.1.1 Requisitos para la instalación del revestimiento. El revestimiento de paneles estructurales de madera deberá tener un espesor no menor a [15] / 32 pulgadas (12 mm) y deberá instalarse de acuerdo con la Figura A304.4.1(1) o A304.4.1(2). Las piezas individuales de paneles estructurales de madera deberán clavarse con clavos comunes 8d espaciados a 4 pulgadas (102 mm) en el centro en todos los bordes y a 12 pulgadas (305 mm) en el centro en cada soporte intermedio con no menos de dos clavos por cada montante. Los clavos deberán clavarse de modo que sus cabezas queden al ras con la superficie del revestimiento y deberán penetrar el elemento de soporte no menos de 1 [1] / 2 pulgadas (38 mm). Cuando un clavo fracture la superficie, deberá dejarse en su lugar y no contarse como parte del clavado requerido. Un nuevo clavo 8d deberá ubicarse dentro de 2 pulgadas (51 mm) del clavo descontado y deberá clavarse a mano al ras con la superficie del revestimiento. Cuando la instalación involucre juntas horizontales, dichas juntas deberán ubicarse sobre bloqueos nominales de 2 pulgadas por 4 pulgadas (51 mm por 102 mm) instalados con la dimensión nominal de 4 pulgadas (102 mm) contra la cara del contrachapado. Las juntas verticales en piezas adyacentes de paneles estructurales de madera deberán centrarse en los montantes de modo que haya un mínimo de [1] / 8 pulgadas (3.2 mm) entre los paneles. Cuando no se puedan mantener las distancias mínimas de borde debido al ancho del montante existente, se deberá añadir un nuevo montante adyacente a los montantes existentes y conectarse de acuerdo con la Figura A304.4.1(3).

[BS] A304.4.2 Distribución y cantidad de arriostramiento. Véase la Tabla A304.3.1 y la Figura A304.4.2 para la distribución y cantidad de arriostramiento requerida para cada línea de muro. La longitud de cada panel arriostrado debe ser no menor a dos veces la altura del montante débil. Cuando la cantidad mínima de arriostramiento prescrita en la Tabla A304.3.1 no pueda instalarse a lo largo de algún muro, el arriostramiento deberá diseñarse conforme a la Sección A301.3.

Excepción: Cuando obstrucciones físicas tales como chimeneas, tuberías o conductos de calefacción interfieran con la colocación del arriostramiento en muros débiles, el arriostramiento deberá colocarse lo más cerca posible de la obstrucción. La cantidad total de arriostramiento requerida no deberá reducirse debido a obstrucciones.

Para SI: 1 pulgada = 25.4 mm, 1 pie = 304.8 mm, 1 libra por pie cuadrado = 42.88 N/m².

[BS] A304.4.3 Ventilación del espacio entre montantes. Cuando los materiales de arriostramiento se instalen en la cara interior de los montantes formando un espacio cerrado entre el nuevo arriostramiento y el acabado exterior existente, cada espacio entre montantes arriostrados debe estar ventilado. Se deberá proporcionar ventilación adecuada y acceso para inspección futura perforando un orificio redondo de 2 a 3 pulgadas de diámetro (51 mm a 76 mm) a través del revestimiento, casi centrado entre cada montante en la parte superior e inferior de la pared de apoyo. Dichos orificios deben estar separados por no menos de 1 pulgada (25 mm) libre del alféizar o las placas superiores. En espacios entre montantes que contengan pernos de alféizar, el orificio deberá ubicarse en la línea central del perno de alféizar pero no más cerca que 1 pulgada (25 mm) libre del borde de clavado del revestimiento. Cuando haya bloqueos existentes dentro del espacio entre montantes, se deberán colocar orificios de ventilación adicionales por encima y por debajo del bloqueo, o se deberá retirar el bloqueo existente e instalar un nuevo bloque nominal de 2 pulgadas por 4 pulgadas (51 mm por 102 mm) con la dimensión nominal de 4 pulgadas (102 mm) contra la cara del contrachapado. Para alturas de montantes menores de 18 pulgadas (457 mm), solo se requiere un orificio de ventilación.

[BS] A304.4.4 Ventilación existente bajo el piso. No se deberá reducir la ventilación existente bajo el piso sin proporcionar una ventilación nueva equivalente lo más cerca posible de la ventilación existente. Los paneles arriostrados pueden incluir aberturas de ventilación bajo el piso cuando la altura de la abertura, medida desde la parte superior del muro de cimentación hasta la parte superior de la abertura, no exceda el 25 por ciento de la altura del muro de montantes de apoyo; sin embargo, la longitud del panel deberá aumentarse una distancia igual a la longitud de la abertura o al menos un espacio entre montantes. Cuando una abertura exceda el 25 por ciento de la altura del muro de apoyo, no se deberán ubicar paneles arriostrados donde ocurra la abertura. Véase la Figura A304.4.1(3).

Excepción: Para viviendas con un sistema de cimentación de postes y pilotes donde se instale un nuevo sistema de cimentación perimetral continuo, se deberá proporcionar nueva ventilación conforme al código de construcción.

[BS] A304.5 Inspecciones. Todo trabajo estará sujeto a inspección por parte del funcionario del código, incluyendo, pero no limitado a:

  1. Colocación e instalación de nuevos anclajes adhesivos o de expansión instalados en cimentaciones existentes. Puede requerirse inspección especial para anclajes adhesivos instalados en cimentaciones existentes reguladas por las disposiciones prescriptivas de este capítulo.
  2. Instalación y clavado de nuevo arriostramiento en muros de apoyo.
  3. Cualquier trabajo estará sujeto a inspección especial cuando sea requerido por el funcionario del código conforme al código de construcción.

[BS] A304.5.1 Clavos. Todos los clavos especificados en este capítulo deberán ser clavos comunes de alambre con los siguientes diámetros y longitudes:

  1. Clavos 8d = 0.131 pulg. (3.3 mm) por 2 [1] / 2 pulgadas (64 mm).
  2. Clavos 10d = 0.148 pulg. (3.8 mm) por 3 pulgadas (76 mm).
  3. Clavos 12d = 0.148 pulg. (3.8 mm) por 3 [1] / 4 pulgadas (83 mm).
  4. Clavos 16d = 0.162 pulg. (4.1 mm) por 3 [1] / 2 pulgadas (89 mm).

Los clavos usados para fijar conectores metálicos de estructura directamente a miembros de madera deberán ser los especificados por el fabricante del conector en un informe aprobado.
