<br />!/tJ!y A <br /> <br /> <br />Catalano Engineering, Inc. <br />CIVIL. TRANSPORTATION. STRUCTURAL <br /> <br />August 1, 1994 <br />94-133.03 <br /> <br />Mr. Gary L. Steve <br />G. L. Steve Construction <br />37746 Glades Lane <br />Zephyrhills, Florida 33541 <br /> <br />RE: Stephens Home-Roof Framing <br /> <br />Dear Mr Steve, <br /> <br />As requested, today I visited the subject residence in order to examine the pre-engineered <br />trusses in-place following the event in which the trusses toppled from their intended <br />positions. <br /> <br />During my visit, I walked within the trusses and examined each connection and member. <br />The connections consisted of perforated galvanized metal plates fastened with several <br />1-1/2" high-tensile strength sheathing staples from each 11lce of the connection. As part of <br />my examination, I stood at mid-span and checked deflections by 'hopping' on the bottom <br />chord. Very little deflection was noted. All connections were fully affixed and members <br />were sound and appropriately grade marked. <br /> <br />Based on my evaluation as described above, it appeared that the original design intent will <br />be met by this system. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br />catala~~;!jerfg, Inc. <br /> <br />,;'L- <br /> <br />Ja4Catalano, P.E. <br />f,ri~ident <br /> <br />812 S.
