base. Lateral Force Resisting System (LFRS)
The lateral force resisting system (LFRS) of the building consists of the roof diaphragm of the roof sheathing and the exterior wall siding. Timberlock screws tie the roof framing to the wall framing and holdowns tie the wall framing to the foundation.
The LFRS is in good condition with all necessary elements in place to resist lateral forces.
Volunteer Shed The volunteer shed in Columbia Cemetery is in good condition. It is constructed of wood and steel rod roof truss framing, with wood and steel rod walls on a concrete floor and foundation. Foundation & Floor The configuration of the shed’s foundation is unknown; however, based on the date and type of construction, it is likely reinforced concrete slab-on-grade with a turned down slab edge. The foundation below grade was not visible at the time of the site observations and drawings were not made available to the team at the time of this report. However, where exposed, the foundation and floor are performing adequately from a structural standpoint. There are no signs of differential settlement or other forms of displacement or major cracking.
