Does an inspector of bolted joint connections, in a structural steel building,require a certification from aisc, rcsc or some other authority? ...and if so, what is that governing authority?
Yep...understand...and agree...I'd always advocate for base stone...gotta wonder why some don't...Optomisticly, I assume that there is a reason...Thanks
Got the "Why" disease...
Sometimes curb in a parking lot is speced with aggregate base...sometimes not...What are the reasons for or against? Is it pure designer preference?
The current project has asphalt pavement over GCA (ABC) and landscaped islands...

TXStructural... TNX for the input... I understand...and agree. That is how I saw it as soon as it was beginning to be constructed...it just did NOT look right.
Note that I'm just a lowly Eng Tech with the ITL hired by the Design/Build General. Meaning that our input is limited (although I...
Jike...Thanks for the reply
The steel is not to be pulled up into the fresh concrete...there is not sufficient depth to the topping slab placement. Coverage at the surface is already 3/4"-1", at best.
And, well...there is this...On this project I am in an observation, report and...
Civilperson,
To be sure that I understand...the re-steel mat is OK to be sandwiched in the cold joint between the slab placements?
Or is it expected that the reinforcing will float enough to get bonding and coverage by vibtrating the mix? I can conceive of this, but wouldn't expect it to...
I'm interested in input concerning a reinforcing design as follows:
The reinforcing steel in the topping slab of a double T precast cambered deck is has transitioned through several changes and is final at:
#5 steel bar spaced at 30" over 6x6 wwr mesh resting directly on the deck. Topping...
You know...I'm thinking its a good and fair question and it makes me realize that for me it is a judgment call... not as random or subjective as that may sound, but, in fact based on a fair amount of experience. Yet, not something that I can easily relay to another. I'd say build experience as...
5000psi grout is placed in a corrugated steel pipe section "form" embedded in the footing grade beam for tilt-up wall terminator rod embedments. As the grout placement is in an impermeable form, would it be appropriate to use impermeable cylinder mold in order to closer exemplify the field...
