Inadequate Telepost Bending Under Strain from Second Story Addition
In this particular case, the floor load added after construction exceeded design values. Our posts have a safety factor of 2. That is equalivalnt to twice the load or weight of the structure. The reasoning behind that is not to push the post to its capacity; but, to allow for the addition of interior finishing of the structure such as walls,flooring, bathroom and kitchen installations, furnishings, etc. These additions will not compromise the integrity of the support system for the structure. In this instance, a second story was added which pushed this telepost far beyond its safety factor. Look familiar? Contact Peak Structural at 303 243 3028 or www.peakstructural.com/
