Field mess - Deviation of the DWG
Field mess - Deviation of the DWG
(OP)
Dear colleagues the contractor sent me pics of the top the drilled pier that the hooks were supposed to be orienting out side of core of drill pier but the placed them as in the attached pic.
The longitudenal bars are #10. They said the hook were falling out of the foot print of drilled pier if the were orienting them as in drawing facing outside.
Is that causing problem?
What shall I do? Please advise.
Thank you

The slab is an unreinforced slab-on-grade.
The hole in the slab is after a drilled pier (deep foundation) is poured.
The rebars that are sticking out and you see in the photo are 6 #10 longitudenal deformed rebars that are 180 degree at the end as is in the photo.
My question was, the contractor has rotated these bars 90 degree from original orientation and as you see the hook now is placed on the cirfumference of the cross section.
I have not seen this orientation of hooks in past so was wondering if it causes any problem.
A fabric structure with arched trusses will sit on top of these piers.
Ron,
My apology for not being clear, I was so caught up that just wanted to put words quickly and have opinions.
If my explanation to hokie66 is still not explaining my question please let me know and I will try to explain it in a different way.
Thanks

Not to be critical, but I don't see any other way to install these. The detail should address this.

The loads are as following:
Superstructure load: 9.15 Kips Downward
Uplift Superstructure: 11.62 Kips Upward
Superstructure Horizontal: 6.61 Kips Horizontal
Since the superstructure is pin conncted, therefore no moments.
Does above information change your statement on the direction of hook?
I am wondering what possible effects will have the change of hook direction?
Thanks

You're fine as is. I'm surprised you have #10s in there.

There is exposed soil between the top of the piers and the bottom of the slab, and without care, this will run onto the piers.
Is the structure which supports the fabric moment resisting, or is it guyed?
RE: Field mess - Deviation of the DWG
Any advice on this matter, any comments that I can relay to site for bettering the construction?
The structure that sits on top of caps (top of driled piers) is pin connted to drilled piers. It is not guyed structure. but in the spaces between trusses will be winched to the floor.
Hope I answered your question. Please give your opinion on the soil you mentioned.
