Structural Framing Plan and Details
(OP)
Hello all,
I am in the process of reviewing an existing structural framing plan with the hope of answering a constructibility question for an upcoming turnaround. My question to this forum is:
I appreciate your help in this matter.

I am in the process of reviewing an existing structural framing plan with the hope of answering a constructibility question for an upcoming turnaround. My question to this forum is:
Why would a detailer call out the tension of select horizontal members on an elevation drawing of the framing plan? I have attached a PDF for your reference.
I appreciate your help in this matter.

Look out for the tension in the connection of that horizontal leg of the large kneebrace in the upper left. You don't want to pry that connection off the column.
Why the WTs for bracing?

Although you are reviewing for constructability, you might mention to the designer that his design intent is apparently not clear to the shop drawing guy.
