Strap locations for side bends
Strap locations for side bends
(OP)
Ever since I can remember, the QC's would take straps from test plates 1 inch from the bottom and top (about 6-8" test coupon). Since I am now the tester, I take straps 1 inch from either side of the center per D1.1 (ie Fig. 4.21) Where did the 1" from the bottom and top come from?

I'm not sure some QC folk out there have ever seen a code book, never mind opening and reading the thing...

While the numbers associated with the figures may change, the figures themselves have been in D1.1 for many years. I have a copy of D1.1-1979, and it includes the same figures.

If the idjit QC wants to know about all of the coupon, have it radiographed - RT'd.
