However, some structural deficiencies were noticed during the inspection. The items listed below require attention to assure compliance: • Although the structural analysis determined that the uplift capacity of the hip girder truss just meets the requirements of a Type B shelter, the missing uplift connector is considered a structural flaw and should be retrofitted. This can be accomplished by installing uplift connectors per Figure 13, or equivalent method(minimum capacity of 1000 lbs. each), at the top and bottom chords of each hip-girder truss to setback- girder at each truss connection. • Install remedial uplift connectors at the hip truss connections to the setback girders, anywhere improper installation is noticed. Provide the missing fasteners at all other improperly installed connectors,particularly at the hip truss connections to the bottom 17-10 Hawaii County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan
