• Full base plate and anchor bolt requirements including base plate elevations for all columns; diameter, material grade, embedment, size of holes, hole pattern, plate orientation and weld requirements.
• Bracing plates should not collide with anchor bolts.
• Show material grades and sizes of all components, beams, columns and anchor bolts, etc. Completeness, simplicity and repetition leads to savings in cost.
• Cross-check orientation of columns on each plan.
• Show specific column, truss and girder splice location and details.
• Structural steel dimensions should be shown clearly on each plan; checked for precision, especially principal controlling geometry and dimensions.
• The structural drawings should be coordinated with architectural, mechanical and electrical requirements.
• All structural items should be clearly placed and identified on confirmed structural documents. No reference should be provided to external drawings.
• The specifications should be customized as per design requirements of the roject. They should be in agreement with all the drawings.
• It is advised that the specifications should include a requirement to take help of pre-qualified fabricators and pre-qualified steel detailers.
• Specify whether all design connections are either based on ASD or LRFD.
• Provide fully developed bracing connections: Show axial loads and whether or not one-third increases in stresses are permissible.
• Show fully developed truss connections: Moments, shears and axial loads depending on function of truss.
• Clearly specify specific safety and erection instructions or local codes in effect.
