S1-3 Drawing.jpeg

This is a General Notes and Codes/Specifications document for a structural steel construction project.

The document establishes the technical standards and materials requirements for structural steel work, specifying compliance with NFPA 101 Life Safety Code, AISC 1989 Specification for Structural Steel Buildings, and AISC 1986 Code of Standard Practice for Steel Buildings and Bridges. Structural steel materials must conform to ASTM A-36 for all steel plates and rolled sections, with field bolts specified as ASTM A-325 3/4" round high-strength bolts (load indicator type). Grout must be 8000 PSI non-shrunk, non-metallic, pre-mixed dry pack. Beam connections are designed for maximum uniform loads based on span and yield strength per AISC Steel Construction Manual unless specific reactions, moments, shears, and axial forces are indicated.

The metal roof deck specification requires 1-1/2" deep, wide rib, 22 gauge minimum, galvanized units meeting SDI standards. Fastening must include fusion welds spaced at 6" on-center at ends and end laps, with 12" on-center at intermediate supports, and screw side laps at least twice between supports using #12 self-tapping screws. Coordination requirements mandate field verification of existing dimensions and elevations affecting fabrication prior to shop drawing submission, reference to existing construction documents, and provision of field-verified shop drawings detailing all existing openings (including those infilled) and new openings through floor and roof slabs before structural steel shop drawings are reviewed.
