3 ENERGY SOLUTIONS CENTRE YUKON GOVERNMENT MAY 2009 INSULATION RETROFIT DESIGN 1.0 INTRODUCTION Following is a structural assessment of a support system for an insulation retrofit design that may be used for existing buildings of varying height and construction. The intent is to provide an efficient design and one that reduces the amount of wood framing to less than half of the framing required for a Larsen truss. The structural assessment considers various conditions which may occur when installing the support system on the outside face of a building. From the assessment, recommendations are presented which include limitations and guidelines for the application of the design. The appendix includes specifications and standard details for construction of the insulation retrofit which may be used as part of a tender package. 2.0 ASSESSMENT AND DISCUSSION Two support systems were considered in this project. The key feature of the first system is its reliance on the tail ends of the roof truss extension or rafters to support the framework. This is different from the support system used for the Larsen truss which relies on a cantilevered bottom support extension from under the floor joists, or by direct connection of the truss to joists and joist headers. With the proposed system, the amount of material is reduced because there is no need for framing next to the wall, with support being provided by the roof overhang and a spacer at the bottom end. Details are shown on the drawings in Appendix B. The second system relies on stand-offs connected to structural components of the building to support the framework. This system is suited to buildings that do not have roof truss extensions or rafters for support. This method is also best suited for 3- and 4-storey buildings and for other types of building construction including masonry and concrete. Details are shown on drawings in Appendix B. Assessment and discussion on the structural components of each system are as follows. N. A. JACOBSEN, P.Eng. 1 CIVIL ENGINEERING CONSULTANT
4 ENERGY SOLUTIONS CENTRE YUKON GOVERNMENT MAY 2009 INSULATION RETROFIT DESIGN 2.1 Eave Extension Support Systems Connection at Roof Extension The typical roof overhang will consist of the tail ends of the top chords of trusses, the bottom chords of truss extensions, or rafters. The drawings show a typical top chord extension. The gable end of the building will normally have a ladder extension, which is tied back to the roof trusses. The truss or rafter tails were assessed for shear and moment resistance under a variety of conditions and assumptions as follows: It was assumed that the cantilevered members used for support would be either 2x6 or 2x4 lumber, SPF (Spruce-Pine-Fir) No. 2 or better quality, and in sound condition with no deterioration or damage. The review considered tail extensions at 16 and 24 o.c. Gable end ladder extensions are normally spaced at 24 o.c. The gravity load on the tail extensions was calculated based on the following materials: 2x4 vertical members at both 16 and 24 spacing ROXUL Flexibatt insulation at 2 lb/ft³ density ⅜ plywood sheathing Hardiboard cladding bottom spacers and plywood cover miscellaneous framing and hardware It is noted that most of the weight is contributed by the insulation and the plywood. Based on a 10 height of retrofit, the gravity load will be close to 50 plf. (pounds per lineal foot) The loading correspondingly increases with wall height. Not surprisingly, the structural review found that the limiting factor at the top connection will be the shear capacity of the tail extension. It was found that 2x6 members will be adequate for most conditions including retrofit heights to 25 and to support increased loads on the sides of window openings up to 8 wide. However, there will be some limitations with the use of 2x4 tail extensions for support. If the 2x4 members are all of good quality and in good condition, they may be adequate to support a retrofit height of up to 20. However, there will be limitations to the width of wall openings requiring support. Guidelines for the various applications are included in the specifications. A nailing schedule for connection of the 2x4 upright to the tail extension is provided in the specifications. Where loading is increased due to increased retrofit height or framing around N. A. JACOBSEN, P.Eng. 2 CIVIL ENGINEERING CONSULTANT
5 ENERGY SOLUTIONS CENTRE YUKON GOVERNMENT MAY 2009 INSULATION RETROFIT DESIGN windows, connectors such as the Simpson Strong Tie A35 framing angle are recommended, rather than nailing by itself. Framing Around Windows When framing around windows, the two uprights on each side of the opening will potentially carry some increased load from the window extension support plus the retrofit below the window. Construction details for the support system are shown on the drawings, including framing connectors and additional 2x6 between the uprights to support the window frame extension. The assessment indicates that there will be limitations to the allowable width of the openings using support from two side studs. If the tail extensions are not capable of supporting the loads from framing around a large opening, then an alternate means of support can be used by hanging the framework from the tail extensions above the opening. The specifications provide guidelines relating to support of framed openings. Gable End Conditions Where the uprights are connected to ladder extensions, the retrofit weight will result in an increased uplift force at the truss top chord connection. Since there is some uncertainty regarding the adequacy of this connection, it is recommended that it be upgraded with an SST (Simpson Strong Tie) A35 framing angle, point installed as indicated, to ensure that there will be adequate restraint at this connection. Wind Loading The Building Code does not provide guidelines for allowable deflections in this type of wall structure. However, it is recommended that in order to ensure stability and avoid excessive deflection from winds or other lateral forces, some guidelines be provided. For example, a structural review indicates that 2x4 uprights at 24 o.c. having a 10 height will deflect about 1 under a 1/50 hourly wind pressure load of 8 psf (pounds per square foot) as per 2005 NBC (National Building Code of Canada) plus a gust factor of 2. Based on a general review, I suggest that intermediate stand-off supports be provided where the stud height exceeds 10 for 24 stud spacing, and 15 where the studs are at 16 o.c. Building Height The specifications for this type of support system apply only to buildings up to two storeys in height. In most cases, the supports can be designed to accommodate the loads imposed by a retrofit system covering a 2-storey high wall, including the higher gable ends. However, alternative design details should be considered for wall systems higher than two storeys. It is recommended that intermediate stand-off supports be required for two-storey projects in addition N. A. JACOBSEN, P.Eng. 3 CIVIL ENGINEERING CONSULTANT
6 ENERGY SOLUTIONS CENTRE YUKON GOVERNMENT MAY 2009 INSULATION RETROFIT DESIGN to a stronger connection detail at the tail extension such as SST A35 framing angles as noted on the drawings. Framing Close to Ground Level For some installations, it may be desirable to extend the retrofit close to ground surface, in order to maximize the wall coverage. However, PWF materials should be used when structures are close to the ground surface in order to prevent decay or deterioration of the wood components. The 2005 NBC provides some guidance on this matter as follows: Section specifies an 18 clearance requirement between (non-pwf) structural wood elements and the finished ground level in localities where termites are known to occur. Section states that structural wood elements are required to be pressure-treated where the vertical clearance to finished ground level is less than 6. Section states that a clearance of not less than 8 shall be provided between finished ground and cladding that is adversely affected by moisture such as untreated wood, plywood, OSB, wafer board and hardboard. Based on the above, it appears that 8 is the absolute minimum clearance required assuming that termites are not an issue. Termite damage to building structures is not considered to be a common problem in the Yukon and, as such, the 18 clearance requirement may be somewhat excessive. The 8 clearance in Section could therefore be considered the minimum requirement. However, it is suggested that the clearance be increased to 12, to allow for changes in ground elevation, vegetative growth, additional soil cover, etc. that could potentially occur under or close to the bottom of the retrofit in the future. In order to allow for this condition, details have been developed which include PWF materials in the lower portion of the support framework where the clearance is less than 12. It is recommended that at least 2 vertical clearance to finished ground be provided to allow for seasonal ground movement and to avoid direct contact with the ground. Contact with ground must be avoided since this could cause distress in the support framework and connections. 2.2 Stand-off Support Systems With this support system, the framework is supported by stand-offs, which are connected to a continuous ledger into headers at floor level or into wall studs. Typical details are shown on Sheets 7 and 8. Typically, the stand-offs should be provided at floor level and also require a top connection. N. A. JACOBSEN, P.Eng. 4 CIVIL ENGINEERING CONSULTANT
7 ENERGY SOLUTIONS CENTRE YUKON GOVERNMENT MAY 2009 INSULATION RETROFIT DESIGN Framing Around Windows Standard framing techniques as per Part 9 of the NBC can normally be used for framing around windows in non load-bearing walls. Framework Wood or steel studs may be used for the framework. Typically, 2x4 uprights would be used, spaced at 16 or 24 o.c. Steel studs may be a preferred option in 2-or 3-storey retrofit conditions where long continuous stud lengths may be employed. They also have the advantage of being lighter in weight and have a more consistent and straight profile than wood. Stud sizes and spacings are provided in the specifications. Other details such as framing close to ground level have been discussed in the previous section. N. A. Jacobsen, P.Eng. Civil Engineering Consultant N. A.
