2. Standard: Uninhabitable, unsanitary, or unsafe ("UUU") G. "L/360" -- ACI 318 a. Differs from industry standards of construction and design-build. b. Example: "Sticking doors" are not defective construction or design, in and of themselves, but may trigger the HOW Warranty. c. Provide home purchasers with maintenance manual at closing. 1. Allowable post-tension movement < L/360 2. Slope vs. deflection l 3. Disagreements as to how measured in industry-- Is it misapplied? 4. Really begs the question: Is the balance of the structure failing due to the foundation's movement? 5. Everyone knows that minor foundation movement is normal in Houston, Texas; 6. Everyone knows that cure cracks occur in concrete; 7. Everyone knows that sheetrock cracks occur on a new home. 8. References to BRAB, Snowden & Littleton, and Post-Tension Institute. 9. No foundation is ever poured absolutely level. 10. U360 is really a standard for new construction -- tec:mically, it only applies at construction. 20
VI. More Honored in the Breach HORATIO: HAMLET: HORATIO: HAMLET: What does this mean, my Lord? The King doth wake to-night and takes his rouse, Keeps wassail, and the swagg'rig up-spring reels; And as he drains his draughts of Rhenish down, The kettle-drum and trumpet thus bray out The triumph of his pledge. Is it a custom? Ay, marry, is't, But to my mind, though I am native here And to the manner born, it is a custom More honor'd in the breach than in the observance. WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, HAMLET act 1, sc. 4. 21
