MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR

Younger Members and Sustainability My best ideas come from someone else and for this one I need to thank our Treasurer, Anita McReynolds-Lidbury. If the Design and Construction Division does not bring in younger members I’m not sure how sustainable the division will be. Not only will younger members be our next leaders but they can bring in new fresh ideas that are the wave of the future. So how do we bring younger members into a society (and a design and construction industry) that favor age and experience? For starters, let’s look at how we got here. As Ricky Morgan, Past-President of the American Society for Nondestructive Testing, said this is an accidental profession. We all came from someplace else and somehow ended up here. “If the Design and Construction Division does not bring in younger members I’m not sure how sustainable the division will be.” Let’s put on our forensic hats and do some career accident investigation. For me, it was joining a construction materials test lab at the tender age of thirty that eventually got me here. Where was that detour for you? I for one am going to reach out to the local test lab community and let them know about the ASQ DCD and invite them to join the society if not participate in the division. Maybe, you can do the same in your field. I think we all want the opportunity to give back to the profession. Imagine what a difference that outreach could make for you, them and the DCD. Sincerely,

Chuck Charles J Kanapicki, PE, CMQ/OE, CQA Chair, ASQ Design and Construction Division [email protected]

WEST ARTICLES THE INFLUENCE OF THE SIMPLE BLOWER DOOR TEST

Denis Leonard PhD Five major national energy home building programs ENERGY STAR, LEED for Homes, Environments for Living, Building Americas Builders Challenge and the National Green Standard all have as a core element of their programs the use of the Blower Door Test (ASTM Standard E1827). Due to this, the simple blower door test has had a national impact in the building of millions of energy efficient homes. For example, by just focusing on the ENERGY STAR program, its impact has meant that over one million new ENERGY STAR qualified homes have been built to date. This has resulted in 325,616,146 pounds of coal being saved and 638,598,741 pounds of CO2 have been avoided. (ENERGY STAR) This simple test can produce a dramatically disproportional positive impact both in terms of the improvements it can provide to a home and in the low cost to run the test and in the low cost solutions that it can allow builders to implement. Often the first issue to be focused on is improving the thermal resistance of the building. In other words, increasing the R-value of the floor, walls, windows, doors, and ceiling for example. However, this is expensive. The air tightness of the building is often under emphasized, but can be even more important, improving the thermal air barrier, making the building air tight and this can be a much more cost effective initial approach. Indeed only when a building is appropriately air tight will thermal loss/gain through the component elements of the building become significant. By using the blower door test as part of measuring the air change rate it becomes a critical tool in evaluating and improving the performance of the homes we build. It also provides a direct reflection on how well and ‘tight’ the homes are being built! The blower door test can become a critical part of the Plan Do Check Act cycle in the home building process.

“The use of integrated management systems . . . can become the infrastructure upon which an organization can manage how it functions and in particular how it manages its production.”


www.asq.org/design

How does quality management come into this? The use of integrated management systems ISO#9001 (Quality), ISO#14001 (Environmental), OHSA#S18001 (Safety), and ISO#26000 (Social Responsibility) can become the infrastructure upon which an organization can manage how it functions and in particular how it manages its production. This structure drives the efficiency and effectiveness of meeting the requirements of relevant energy building programs such as ENERGY STAR. Within these programs are their specific requirements such as conducting blower door testing. To achieve this, the various technical standards need to be used. At the core is ASTM E1827 that is supported by a range of other ASTM standards and indeed associated standards such as ISO, ANSI and ASHRAE. In this way E1827 again becomes a central, fundamental aspect as shown in the above diagram.

Quality Assurance in Construction under the International Codes

Hershal Brewer, CCT David S. Nelson, Ph.D., P.E.

In the USA, the quality of building construction is regulated through local and state governments, often mandating compliance with adopted construction codes and ordinances which define minimum standards for the safety and quality of construction. The most widely adopted codes for building construction codes are the International Codes, published by the International Code Council (ICC – http://www.iccsafe.org), which include the International Building Code, International Plumbing Code, International Fire Code, International Mechanical Code, and a series of specialty codes. These codes, in turn, reference various external technical standards which are maintained by other bodies, including ACI, AISC, AISI, ASTM and ANSI. While most of the International Codes are specific to the technical requirements of construction materials and installation practices, these codes also include general requirements for product approval, product testing, and construction inspections.

“This article provides a summary of common quality-assurance practices within the U.S. for the approval of products for commercial and industrial building construction, and for the qualification/approval of testing, inspection, and product listing agencies. The article concludes with a summary of opportunities for quality professionals in this process.” In commercial construction, most construction materials have specific strength and fire-resistive requirements. Regardless of the location of construction, all buildings are subject to varying wind loads, with significant structural requirements in high-wind and coastal regions which are subject to hurricanes. Building construction in regions of the country which has a higher risk of tornados may include “safe rooms”; Buildings located in areas with seismic risk must be able to withstand the expected seismic loads. All commercial buildings have specific requirements for fire-resistive construction, which depends on their relative risk to use and occupancy. Building security needs are also of increasing importance, especially with public buildings. Each of these building safety requirements requires specialized testing or inspection during the design, approval, and installation phases.

Materials, equipment and devices approved by the building official shall be constructed and installed in accordance with such approval. (IBC Sec. 104.9).

These technical services are provided by approved testing laboratories, product listing bodies, and inspection agencies. The International Codes are intentionally non-prescriptive on specific quality assurance standards for testing laboratories, product certification bodies, and inspection agencies - leaving many of the administrative details up to the local or state authorities who are vested with authority to enforce adopted codes. This provides a great deal of discretion to the local code official, allowing him or her to better meet the needs of local construction and to adapt to locally-available resources for public- and private-sector oversight. The public-sector (local building department) usually focuses its resources on reviewing and approving the submitted plans, issuing a construction permit, and conducting periodic “called” inspections at various stages of construction. As a part of the code official’s review of plans and specifications, the various materials, products and systems which are to be installed in the building are also reviewed, to ensure compliance with the technical and performance requirements of the building code. At the conclusion of construction, and verification that the construction meets code and the approved plans, the code official issues a Certificate of Occupancy.


www.asq.org/design

Within the private-sector, the registered design professional is responsible for not only the design, but for selection of products, materials, and systems, and for project specifications, including selection of “special inspection,” product testing, and product listing. Special inspection agencies are private-sector inspection bodies which provide specialized on-site inspections on more complex construction. These agencies are funded by the owner, and provide inspection reports to the code official and to the registered design professional. Testing laboratories provide specialized performance testing of materials – often related to structural, weather-resistance, and fire-resistive performance. Product listing agencies coordinate and review product tests, and publish a listing of products which are deemed to comply with building code performance requirements. The safety and quality of construction is only achieved through effective communication and collaboration between the public and private-sectors. This article provides a summary of common quality-assurance practices within the U.S. for the approval of products for commercial and industrial building construction, and for the qualification/approval of testing, inspection, and product listing agencies. The article concludes with a summary of opportunities for quality professionals in this process.

Types of Quality Checks Product Testing: The performance characteristics of construction materials often require laboratory testing to confirm that their performance meets code requirements, plus any additional requirements of the building design. Due to the wide range of materials used in construction, testing laboratories specialize in specific sectors. For construction materials, these include: fire-resistance testing; structural testing; energy-related testing; and weather-resistance testing. Specific products which are installed in buildings are also tested, including electrical, plumbing, heating, ventilating and air conditioning products, and fire/security detection and alarm system. There are a variety of national and international quality standards for testing laboratories, with the most common published by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) - ISO/IEC 17025 General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories, and the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) – ASTM E329 Standard Specification for Agencies Engaged in Construction Inspection, Testing, or Special Inspection. Product Listings: Within each of the major sectors, there are product listing agencies which arrange for the necessary testing, evaluate the results, and issue technical reports on the results. Listing agencies publish proprietary technical and quality standards which must be demonstrated by listed products. Upon verification by a listing agency that products meet defined standards, the factory is granted permission to stamp a product label on the product, and the product is added to the agency’s public registry. Periodic inspection of manufacturing by the listing agency, or by a qualified third-party quality-assurance agency is usually required. Expenses associated with testing, evaluations, and listing are usually paid by the manufacturer. Quality standards for product certifiers are specified by ISO Guide 65: General requirements for bodies operating product certification systems. Quality Inspections: In addition to inspection of factories that produce construction products, inspection of the installation is also a requirement. In addition to periodic (“called”) inspections which may be provided by the code official, specialized private-sector inspection agencies are also very actively engaged in quality assurance. These include inspection of manufacturing facilities and inspections of construction sites (“Special Inspections”). Quality standards for private-sector inspection agencies are specified by ISO/IEC 17020 General criteria for the operation of various types of bodies performing inspections, and by ASTM E329.

Quality Assurance of Testing, Inspection, and Listing Agencies Private-sector agencies in this process are all focused on demonstrating to the code official that products they test, list, or inspect meet all technical and performance requirements of the reference code/standards, or the approved plans. Their effectiveness in these responsibilities is intimately linked to the quality and integrity of their services. One mechanism for independent verification of quality is


www.asq.org/design

through third-party accreditation by an approved Accreditation Body. Accreditation Bodies operate under the requirements of ISO/IEC 17011 Conformity assessment – General requirements for accreditation bodies accrediting conformity assessment bodies. This standard requires periodic field assessment of the technical and quality systems of accredited agencies. Accredited agencies are issued an “accreditation certificate” which lists the scope of services which they may provide. Accreditations of testing and inspection agencies are a matter of public record, and may easily be verified by code officials. Accreditation Bodies, in turn, are also subject to external peer-review of their quality and integrity, through voluntary participation in “Mutual Recognition Arrangements” (MRAs) which attest to their compliance with ISO/IEC 17011. This MRA process is sponsored by the Asia Pacific Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (APLAC – http://www.aplac.org). In the U.S., seven Accreditation Bodies comply with APLAC MRA quality standards. Several of these provide accreditation services in support of the construction sector.

Opportunities for Quality Professionals Opportunities abound in the construction sector for quality professionals. All testing laboratories, product certifiers, inspection bodies, and accreditation bodies offer employment opportunities for personnel who are trained and qualified Quality Professionals, both on a staff and part-time consulting basis. Quality Professionals who wish to expand into this sector should consider participation in assessor-certification classes on ISO/IEC 17011, 17020, and 17025. In addition, ISO 9001 certifications are always helpful. ASQ as well as each of the U.S. accreditation bodies offer assessor-training classes on one or more these quality standards. About the authors: Hershal Brewer, CCT: Hershal is a Principal Accreditation Officer with the International Accreditation Service (IAS). He is Program Manager for calibration laboratory and field evaluation accreditation and also conducts assessments of testing laboratories and inspection bodies. David S. Nelson, Ph.D., P.E.: Dr. Nelson is Senior Policy Advisor for the International Accreditation Service. He is a registered engineer (Florida) and an educational psychologist, with a specialization in personnel testing and assessment. He has over 35 years of experience in providing quality-assessment, certification and accreditation services within the construction sector.

The annual meeting of the Research Council on Structural Connections By Chuck Kanapicki

The annual meeting of the Research Council on Structural Connections (RCSC) was held in Berkeley, CA last month and as a committee member I thought you might be interested in a brief update on what happened. As an aside, the meeting was held here (in Berkeley) as everyone at last year’s meeting voted it that way in the hopes of getting a bridge tour which they did (see photo below). “Installation is considered the single biggest quality issue” Both meetings were pretty short as there is not a new specification coming out as there was in last year’s meeting. Highlights are: • A task group was formed to look into a bolt installer certification program similar to certifying

a welder as installation is considered the single biggest quality issue • The Japanese (Nippon Steel) will be introducing a Super High Tension Bolt (SHTB) into the

US in the next few years. These bolts are 40% stronger than A490 bolts and the market will be geared towards special applications (large members/connections, etc)

• There was a lot of debate about eliminating pre-installation verification testing but ultimately it was kept in (see bullet point one above)

• The Europeans have spent the last five years developing their new high strength bolt standard, and it is out now. Unlike the US, the EU requires that fasteners be sold in sets as with tension control bolts and that whoever sells the sets has to have their marks on all the pieces (bolts, nuts and washers). Apparently the US is the last bastion of allowing a user to buy bolts form one source, nuts from another, etc. That is why our standards are they way they are; fit tolerances and the like to allow for this.

• There was a research report on the effects of temperature on Skidmore-Wilhelm tests and it was decided that the issue is a fastener not a testing device issue, and nothing further will be done.

• There was a survey to find out if erectors use the calibrated wrench method, and tension control and turn-of-the-nut are what most use.

• Green is a big factor in steel design and construction, and there is an initiative to see if there can be non-steel (insulating material) in the grip so that the exterior frame of the building is thermally isolated from the interior. There will probably be research studies funded by the RCSC coming up in the future.

• Finally there were presentations on a new direct tension indicator system and a new electric wrench for tightening bolts. They were developed by Chad Larson with LeJeune and appear to address all the shortcoming of bolt installation while taking advantage of all the best aspects of TC and turn-of-the-nut.
