As a structural engineer, really neat to see the mockup! Understandable that a larger bracket would be longer lead time and a thermal bridge. I've used fabreeka pads rather than LVLs for thermal breaks at structural connections with good results. They make all kinds of washers and sleeves to ensure the entire connection is insulated as well.

@timvanoss6338 2 года назад

@@2brazy4ubitch you specify the size and they deliver it. I’ve just used it as a thermal isolation between two steel plates for a moment connection. Worked great.

@julianugentarchitect 2 года назад

@@timvanoss6338 Fabreeka is great. I had used many times on commercial projects and kept thinking it was a familiar name and then I realized I’d driven past their HQ many, many times as it’s right next to the local IKEA. So no Fabreeka on this job, but a great product for separation of structural steel.

I have used that exact setup with the Maine Deck Brackets on my house. Dont forget that you cannot have aluminum bracket up next to treated wood (not sure about the LVL and its glue). It will corrode.

I love hearing from the architect. It seems like the bracket detail would be more simple to just have a deeper bracket. The LVL furring makes more sense as a thermal break since this is for PH.

@randyrand-renovate2075 2 года назад

Those are great deck ledger brackets. Been using that approach for many years. Highly recommend. Even had custom ones welded up to accommodate a greater thickness for different exterior condition.

@bigruss19 2 года назад

That is what I was thinking. Why complicate it with stacking the LVLs to get the thickness needed. Seems like a steel fab shop could cut off some sections of steel I-beams and trim them up to be any thickness you need and drill a couple of bolt holes.

@sergeybebenin 2 года назад

Love the house 👍. Just the right "makes sense" size and attention to details as always. Can't wait to see the Tesla setup. I assume you'll have Powerwalls?

@leobrent7926 2 года назад

Why not instead of using those off the shelf aluminum deck brackets that need all the extra labor and material to pad the wall out with LVL pieces, don’t they just cut sections of I beam with a 6 inch webbing, drill them and send them to get galvanized? They will be stronger, custom made to fit their application and easier to seal than two pieces of wood that will also require a longer through bolt. It’s just my opinion though... I think the brackets are a neat idea but I would custom build my own brackets and it will be faster and easier than trying to accommodate for an off the shelf product intended for a different application. And I think a 6 inch webbing I beam has the correct thickness for the two layers of rock wall

@angeloc700 2 года назад

The deck attachment detail is interesting. Thanks for sharing. I’m a hobbyist, but I would think it’s a sheer load, rather than a moment, on the vertical datum for those brackets. The only time it would be a moment would be If the perimeter supports failed (at which point, the deck would turn into a cantilever). I’d think the horizontal datum would be more of a moment load (mostly from wind), but even then it wouldn’t be much of one. That said, the detail looks so solid that I think a ship could run into the deck and it would cause the entire house to move rather than compromise the deck…LOL! Beautiful home and I hope you guys enjoy it forever!

@julianugentarchitect 2 года назад

The engineer and I had a good laugh yesterday about the deck structure: modern deck design is all about preventing a collapse when you have a giant dance party. We both got a chuckle out of the image of me having a raver on the back deck. And your right about the loads on the bracket being primarily sheer loads - unless the dance party results in a catastrophic collapse.

@Prorex1911 2 года назад

Could you use liquid nails as the caulking for the lvl block spacers along with the through bolts? That whole process is really interesting. Great job.

@rogerhodges7656 2 года назад

All of this design is identified to protect the project from salt water. At about 10:00 the standoff is identified as aluminum. It will probably be bolted on with galvanized bolts. Admittedly this assembly is somewhat protected but it is exposed to wind driven spray and water. Best practice would be to use stainless steel. Second best would be hot dipped galvanized steel and last choise would be aluminum. Salt water and salt spray loves to corrode and destroy aluminum. This decision should be reconsidered.

@julianugentarchitect 2 года назад

Good point. We need to 1) separate the aluminum brackets from the PT structure and 2) cover any exposed areas. This is one of those situations where the products available aren’t exactly what you need and custom (especially stainless) would cost 5 times more. Note to Viewrail, Trex, Simpson etc - sell deck brackets for this situation!

@rogerhodges7656 2 года назад

@@julianugentarchitect This is not a new issue and I suspect that Tech or Customer Support people at Simpson or one of the major suppliers has a solution. If you need to have brackets fabricated, the bracket is very simple and should be inexpensive. Getting an engineer to sign off will probably cost more than the brackets (If tht is required by the local jurisdiction.). I spent 30+ years on the coast in Southern Californa. Aluminum framed windows and doors were eaten by salt corrosion simply by the salt carried on the fog. Steel and tools left in uncondirioned garages rusted quickly and seriously. The problem will be worse on the island.

@Motoch3 2 года назад

Love seeing the detail of the deck connection. A similar problem that I have run across. How did the engineer approve the 1 1/8 sheathing not going to the edge of the beam to tie in the floor diaphragm to the floor beam/rim board? I am in California and typically they need this to tie it all together. The other issue that comes up that you addressed is the gap from the porch to the deck created by the exterior insulation. The 3/4 plywd helps solve that issue. Thanks for letting us see the details.

@julianugentarchitect 2 года назад

Knowing that the 1 1/8” flooring would be cut out at the glass door/wall, the framer glued and screwed the subfloor to continuous blocking on the inside of the LVL.

If you already have so much steel work, why not just custom fab a deeper deck outrigger out of 1/4” plates instead of the two layers of LVL padding behind the shallower Alum product? Minimal cost difference, more reliable, and you can sika tape the back flange rather than relying on sealant that no one will warranty.

Nice video, I appreciate the detail covering the wall assembly. As an amateur viewer, the double sheathing seems backwards. What's the reason to put the plywood outside instead of the WRB outside?

@townsendliving9750 2 года назад

I'm assuming it has something to do with the insualtion being able to dry out if it needs to.

@julianugentarchitect 2 года назад

@@townsendliving9750 That’s correct. Putting the air/vapour barrier in the middle of the wall allows the wall to dry in both directions. It also prevents humidity from the inside from passing into the outer layers of insulation where it could condense into water.

@1989catman 2 года назад

@@julianugentarchitect I disagree with that intuitively, but don’t think it will cause issue. Siga Majvest 500SA is vapor-open product. It will NOT prevent vapor from going through the wall if it ever gets through you interior vapor retarder. But because you have 6” of R-4.2ci, your due point is likely outside of your structural sheathing. Therefore condensation if it were to occur, is outside the house. Now, you need to be careful that you second layer of staple-on WRB also needs to be vapor permeable, otherwise condensation would accumulate at the back side of your second plywood. I also disagree partially with the idea that wall will dry in both direction. If it is vapor that is causing issue, the vapor drive is mostly going outwards in your winter climate, especially that you will pressurize your house from mechanical system. That said, you won’t really have condensation issue at all, so this point about “drying” really don’t apply.

@julianugentarchitect 2 года назад

@@1989catman All good points that were considered and studied with WUFI modeling. There’s another 5.5” of insulation in the stud wall, so the dew point is on the outside of the WAB as it needs to be in a winter climate. But we also have pretty hot and humid summers where things reverse. The Majvest WAB (water air barrier) is semi-permeable and the Slicker Max WRB (weather resistive barrier) is about 5 times more permeable than the Majvest, so should not trap water. If we were using another type of siding, we could have skipped the outer layer of plywood and WRB altogether and attached the siding directly to the fiberglass z-girts. The shingles are attached frequently in 5” rows, so the ply sheathing was the only practical way to do this.

@1989catman 2 года назад

@@aayotechnology I think it is still a code requirement to have interior vapor retarder. But Would be a good idea to do smart vapor retarder such as Certainteed Membrane, or any Siga product. Or to that matter, if due point is outside, a PVA primer would do.
