About this file

This document is a Schedule of Special Inspections for UFGS 01 45 35, revised for the 2024 International Building Code (IBC). The schedule provides detailed inspection requirements for structural construction work and applies to projects with designated seismic design categories. The document contains two nearly identical versions, with the first designating Seismic Design Category E and the second designating Category D.

The schedule establishes inspection protocols across seven major categories: (A) Structural Steel–Welding, (B) Structural Steel–Bolting, (C) Structural Steel–Nondestructive Testing, (D) Structural Steel–Other Inspections, (E) Structural Concrete Construction, (F) Geotechnical–Soils Inspection, and (G) Geotechnical–Driven Deep Foundation Elements. For each category, the schedule defines specific tasks with corresponding inspection types (PERFORM, OBSERVE, DOCUMENT, CONTINUOUS, or PERIODIC). PERFORM tasks require execution for each weld, fastener, or bolted connection; OBSERVE tasks involve random daily monitoring without delaying operations; DOCUMENT tasks require formal reporting; CONTINUOUS tasks require constant monitoring throughout performance; and PERIODIC tasks involve intermittent inspection presence. Compliance references include the 2024 IBC, AISC 360-22, AISC 341-22, ACI 318-19, AWS standards, and ASTM requirements. The contractor is responsible for performing all inspections, with detailed specifications covering pre-construction, during-construction, and post-construction phases for welding and bolting operations, concrete placement, reinforcement installation, foundation work, and soil preparation activities.

2024 IBC TABLE 1705.3 (ACI 318-19 REFERENCES NOTED IN IBC TABLE)

TASK INSPECTION TYPE 1 DESCRIPTION

1. Inspect reinforcement, including prestressing tendons, and verify placement.

OBSERVE Verify prior to placing concrete that reinforcement is of specified type, grade and size; that it is free of oil, dirt and unacceptable rust; that it is located and spaced properly; that specified cover has been provided; that hooks, bends, ties, stirrups and supplemental reinforcement are placed correctly; that specified lap lengths, stagger and offsets are provided;

and that all mechanical connections are installed per the manufacturer’s instructions and/or evaluation report.

2. Inspect reinforcing bar welding

PERIODIC Verify weldability of reinforcing bars other than ASTM A 706

Inspect single-pass fillet welds, maximum 5/16” in accordance with

AWS D1.4

3. All other welding CONTINUOUS Visually inspect all welds in accordance with AWD D1.4

4. Inspect cast-in-place anchors, post-installed drilled anchors, and adhesive anchors other than those in item 4 below

PERIODIC Verify prior to placing concrete that cast in place anchors and post installed drilled anchors have proper embedment, spacing and edge distance.

Inspection requirements for adhesive anchors are different from those for other post-installed anchors and require assessment and qualification under the provisions of ACI 355.4 which may require proof loading.

5. Inspect post-installed adhesive anchors in horizontal or upward inclined orientations and subject to sustained tension loading.

CONTINUOUS AND DOCUMENT Inspect as required per approved ICC-

ES report

Verify that installer is certified for installation of horizontal and overhead installation applications

Verify proof loading as required by the contract documents

6. Verify use of required mix design

PERIODIC Verify that all mixes used comply with the approved construction documents

7. Prior to concrete placement, fabricate specimens for strength

CONTINUOUS At the time fresh concrete is sampled to fabricate specimens for strength test, PERIODIC: Special inspection by a special inspector who is intermittently present where the work to be inspected has been or is being performed.

DOCUMENT: Document in a report that the work has been performed as required. This is in addition to all other required reports.

CONTINUOUS: Constant monitoring of identified tasks by a special inspector over the duration of performance of said tasks.

TASK INSPECTION TYPE 1 DESCRIPTION

tests, perform slump and air content tests, and determine the temperature of the concrete verify these tests are performed by qualified technicians.

8. Inspect concrete placement for proper application techniques

CONTINUOUS Verify proper application techniques are used during concrete conveyance and that depositing avoids segregation or contamination. Verify that concrete is properly consolidated.

9. Verify maintenance of specified curing temperature and technique

PERIODIC Inspect curing and cold weather, or hot weather protection procedures.

10. Inspect erection of precast concrete members

PERIODIC Verify dimensional tolerances for precast members and interfacing members.

Verify details of lifting devices, embedments, and related reinforcement required to resist temporary loads from handling, storage, transportation, and erection, if designed by the licensed design professional.

11. Inspect formwork for shape, location and dimensions of the concrete member being formed.

PERIODIC Formwork fabrication and installation shall result in final structure that conforms to shapes, lines, and dimensions of the members as required by the construction documents.
