Orlando, FL 32819 FAX # (407) 822-0087 April 23, 2002 Subject: 601 East Airport Blvd. Sanford, FL Structural Damage Inspection and Evaluation Insured: Pine Crest Baptist Church Report #: PEC0423 SUMMARY The structural damage resulting from the automobile impact to the front east side corner of the church was inspected and evaluated on April 23, 2002. This was a detailed visual inspection. A portion of the concrete block wall, including the corner had been structurally compromised and will have to be removed and rebuilt. A repair and restoration specification is provided as a part of this report. DISCUSSION The structural damage resulting from the impact of the automobile to the side wall near the front corner on the east side of the Pine Crest Baptist Church located at 601 East Airport Blvd., Sanford (32773) was inspected and evaluated on April 23, 2002. This was a detailed visual inspection of the interior and exterior of the area of damage. L, 010.2 William F. Stuhrke, PhD, PE State of Florida Professional Engineer # 22150 101 601 East Airport Blvd. Report # PEC0423 April 23, 2002 This picture is of the front east side corner of the church. The automobile had impacted the side wall of the church beneath the first window on the side. The car had broken through the 601 _ -; concrete block wall beneath this window. The force of the impact that damaged and displaced the concrete blocks in the wall adjacent to the window as well as on the front wall adjacent to the corner. It was determined that the exterior concrete block wall of this church building had been constructed from 12" wide, 8" high, 16" concrete blocks. The blocks were laid in the standard running bond, but there was no evidence that any of the vertical cells had been filled or reinforced. In particular it was determined that there was no concrete in the corner. It is likely that the top course of concrete block is not reinforced or filled. The damage on the interior of the building included significant cracking and damage to the thick plaster lath over the furring strips installed on the inside of the concrete block. This interior plaster wall will have to be repaired and restored as a part of the rebuild of the exterior concrete block masonry structure. The rebuilt portions of this exterior wall must meet all of the requirements of the FLORIDA BUILDING CODE 2001, including the wind loads as specified in Section 1606. It was determined that the concrete block from a point towards the rear from the window on the side, where the impact had occurred must be removed in a saw tooth pattern from 24 to 32" towards the rear from the window to the front corner and then in a saw tooth pattern from 24" to 32" along the front wall from the corner. This is shown in the partial floor plan of this area of the church in Attachment "A". The rebuild of this portion of the wall ocumented in the following repair and restoration specification. William F. Stuhrke, PhD, PE State of Florida Professional Engineer # 22150 0 601 East Airport Blvd. Report # PECO423 April 23, 2002 REPAIR AND RESTORATION SPECIFICATION This repair and restoration specification provides for the repair and rebuild of the damaged portion of the concrete block masonry exterior wall as documented in Attachment "A" of the Pine Crest Baptist Church located at 601 East Airport Blvd., Sanford (32773). This specification provides that the rebuilt portions of this structure meet all of the requirements of the FLORDIA BUILDING CODE 2001, including the wind loads as specified in Section 1606. Demolition - A temporary support wall must be built on the interior of the damaged area to insure that adequate support for the roof structure is provided during the removal and rebuild of the wall. The section of wall to be removed is shown in Attachment "A". All of the block in this portion of the wall must be removed. As indicated the block at the edges of this section of wall on both the side and the front is to be removed in a saw tooth pattern to permit the interlocking of the old block with the new block. The removal of the block is to include all of the concrete block from the finished floor level of the concrete slab of the church up to and including the top course of the wall. Rebuild of the Wall - The wall is to be rebuilt employing the same size 12" wide, 8" high, 16" concrete block. The new section of wall is to be provided with reinforced and filled cells as shown in Attachment "B". Due to the fact that there did not appear to be a reinforced continuous lintel beam on the original structure, a continuous lintel beam structure must be provided for the new section of restored wall. The precast for the window opening is documented in the attachment and the engineering for this precast provided in Attachment "C". A typical wall section for this new section of rebuilt wall is provided as Attachment "D". Window - The SH36 aluminum frame window in the damaged wall section is to be retained and reinstalled in the new section of block wall. It is to be installed and secured in accordance with the detail provided in Attachment "E". Li - za /oz William F.

Orlando, FL 32819 FAX # (407) 822-0087 Subject: 601 East Airport Blvd. Sanford, FL Work In Progress/Inspection Insured: Pine Crest Baptist Church Report #: PED0515 SUMMARY The work in progress in the repair and restoration of the structural damage resulting from the automobile impact to the front east side corner of the church was inspected and evaluated on May 15, 2002. This was a detailed visual inspection. The original specification for the repair and restoration of this structure had been prepared on April 23, 2002. It was determined after that document was prepared that there was a continuous steel reinforced lintel beam at the top of the concrete block wall. The work in progress took this into account. The concrete block work, including the exposed steel reinforcement was inspected and approved as being in general compliance with original specification and being in full compliance with the FLORIDA BUILDING CODE 2001. DISCUSSION The work in progress in the repair and restoration of the structural damage resulting fir m th i act of the automobile to the side wall near the front corner on the east side 5,s1o William F. Stuhrke, PhD, PE State of Florida Professional Engineer # 22150 1 601 East Airport Blvd. Report # PED0515 May 15, 2002 of the Pine Crest Baptist Church located at 601 East Airport Blvd., Sanford (32773) was inspected and evaluated on May 15, 2002. This was a detailed visual inspection of the interior and exterior of the area being repaired and restored. This picture is of the front east side corner of the church showing the concrete block masonry repair. This repair had been done in accordance with the repair and z restoration specification and certified onprepared April 23, 2002. Further as may be seen in the picture, cleanouts had been provided as required to expose the steel reinforcement, which had been specified for the walls. This steel was inspected and it was determined that it had been properly installed in accordance with the specification. The initial specification was based on the assumption that the top course of the wall had not been reinforced with concrete and provided with any steel reinforcement. When the wall was disassembled, it was determined that the top course was filled and reinforced. As may be seen in the picture, the undamaged portion of this top lintel course was retained. Further it was determined that all of the vertical steel reinforcements were properly tied into the lintel to provide the required structural strength and load transfer in this wall. Based on the inspection, this wall should be considered ready for the placing of the concrete grout in the cells to be filled. It will then be in full compliance with all of the requirements of the FLORIDA BUILDING CODE 2001. William F. Stuhrke, PhD, PE State of Florida Professional Engineer # 22150 2
