(iii) Ultrasonic Inspection: The Ultrasonic testing in addition to visual inspection shall becarried out for detection of internal flaws in the weld such as cracks, piping porosityinclusion, lack of fusion, incomplete penetration, etc. Acceptance criteria shall be asper IS: 4260 or any other relevant IS Specification and as agreed to by the Engineer.

(iv) Liquid Penetration Inspection: The liquid penetration test shall be carried out fordetection of surface defect in the weld, as- per IS: 3658, in addition to visualinspection.

The non-destructive testing of following welds be carried out using one of themethod or; methods described at (ii), (iii) and (iv) above, as may be agreed to by theEngineer.a) All transverse butt welds in tension flange.

94

b) 10 percent of the length of the longitudinal and transverse butt welds incompression flanges.

c) 5 per cent of the length of longitudinal and transverse butt welds incompression flanges.

d) All transverse butt welds in webs adjacent to tension flanges as specified bythe Engineer.

The particular length of welds in webs to be tested shall be agreed with the Engineer,in case of (b) or (c).Where specified by the Engineer, bearing stiffeners or bearing diaphragms adjacent towelds, flange pates adjacent to web/flange welds at cruciform welds, plates in boxgirder construction adjacent to comer welds or other details shall be ultrasonicallytested after fabrication.for his decision.

(d) Testing of Welding for Cast Steel: The testing of weld for cast steel shall becarried out as may be agreed to by the Engineer.

(e) Stud Shear Connectors: Stud Shear connectors shall be subjected to thefollowing tests:

(i) The fixing of studs after being welded in position shall be tested by striking the side ofthe head of the stud with a 2 kg. Hammer to the satisfaction of the Engineer.

(ii) The selected stud head stroked with 6 kg. Hammer shall be capable of lateraldisplacement of approximately 0.25 the height of the stud from its original position.The stud weld shall not show any sign of crack or lack of fusion.The studs whose welds have failed the test given in (a) and (b) shall be replaced.

(f) Inspection requirement: The fabricated member/component made out of rolled andbuilt-up section shall be checked for compliance of the tolerances given in Table-2.Inspection of member/components for compliance with tolerances, and the check fordeviations shall be made over the full length.During checking, the inspection requirement shall be placed in manner that localsurface irregularities do not influence the result.For plate, out of plane deviation shall be checked at right angle to the surface over thefull area of the plate.The relative cross-girder or cross frame deviation shall be checked over the middlethird of length of the cross girder of frame between each pair of webs and forcantilever at the end of member.The web of rolled beam or channel section shall be checked for out-of-plane deviationin longitudinal direction equal to the depth of the section.During inspection, the component /member shall not have any load or external

restraint.Inspection Stages: The inspection to be carried out for compliance of tolerances shallinclude but not be limited to the following stages:

i) For completed parts, component/members on completion of fabrication and beforeany subsequent operation such as surface preparation, painting, transportation, anderection.

ii) For webs of plate and box girder, longitudinal compression flange stiffeners in boxgirders and orthotropic decks and all web stiffeners at site joints, on completion of sitejoint.

iii) For cross girders and frames, cantilevers in orthotropic decks and other parts in whichdeviations have apparently increased on completion of site assembly.

95

Where, on checking member/component for the deviations in respect of out of planepr out of straightness at right angles to the plate surface, any other instances, exceedtolerance, the maximum deviation shall be measured and recorded. The recordedmeasurements shall be submitted to the Engineer who will determine whether thecomponent/member may be accepted without rectification, with rectification orrejected.

4.0 OILING AND PAINTING:

4.1. No part of the work is to be painted or coated, packed or dispatched until it has beenfinally inspected and approved by the inspecting officer.

4.2. The whole of the work except machined surfaces shall be painted using one of thesystems of painting given below. Prior to painting, the surfaces shall be carefullyprepared removing mill scale, rust, etc, using wire brushes, sander or short blasting asapproved by the Engineer/Inspecting Officer.a) Priming coat:i. The coats of ready mixed Paint red lead priming to IS: 102. ,

ORii. One coat of ready mixed zinc chrome priming to IS: 104 followed by one coat ofzinc chrome red oxide priming to IS: 2074. The dry film thickness should e 40microns (Each coat of 20 microns)

b) Finishing coats:Two coats of aluminum paint to IS: 2339 shall be applied over the primer coats. Onecoat shall be applied before the fabricated steel work leaves the shop. After the steelwork is erected at site the second coat shall be given after touching up the primer andthe cover coat if damaged in-transit. The dry film thickness shall be 3o microns (Eachcoat of15 microns)

4.3 Surfaces which are inaccessible for cleaning and painting after fabrication shall bepainted as specified in before assembled for riveting.

4.4 All rivets, bolts, nuts, washers, etc, are to be thoroughly cleaned and dipped intoboiling linseed oil to IS:77

4.5 All machined surfaces are to be well coated with a mixture of white lead to IS: 34 andMutton tallow to IS: 887

4.6 For site paintings the whole of the steel work shall be given the second cover coatafter finally passing and after touching up the Primer and Cover Coats, if damaged in-transit.

5.0 TEST AND STANDARDS OF ACCEPTANCEThe materials shall be tested in accordance with relevant IS specifications andnecessary test certificates shall be furnished. Additional tests, if required, shall be gotcarried out by the Contractor at his own cost.The fabrication, furnishing, erecting, painting of structural steel work shall be inaccordance with these specifications and shall be checked and accepted by theEngineer.

96

6.0 MEASUREMENTS FOR PAYMENTThe measurements of this shall be in tones based on the net weight of metal in thefabricated structure computed on the basis of nominal weight of materials.The weight of rolled and cast steel and cast iron shall be determined from thedetermine shown on the drawings on the following basis:

Rolled or cast steel: 7.84X10-3 kg/cu.cm. Cost Iron: 7.21 X10-3 kg/cu.cm.Weight of structural sections shall be nominal weight.Weight of weld fillets and weight of protective coating shall not be included.Weight of rivet heads shall be computed by taking the weight of 100 snap heads asgiven in Table-3.

TABLE-3 : WEIGHT OF RIVET HEADS

Dia of Rivets asmanufactured

Weight of 100 snapheads

mm kg12 1.314 2.116 3.418 4.4520 6.122 8.124 10.527 1530 20.533 27.5

The Contractor shall supply detailed calculations sheets for the weight of the metal inthe fabricated structure.No additions shall be made for the weight of protective coating or weld fillets.Where computed weight forms the basis for payment, the weight shall be calculatedfor exact cut sizes of members used in the structure, deductions being made for allcuts, except for rivet holes. Additions shall be made for the rivet heads as mentionedabove.

7.0 RATE:The Contract unit rate for the completed structural steel work shall included the costof all materials, labour, tools, plant and equipment required for fabrication,connections, oiling, painting, temporary erection, inspection, tests and compete finalerection as shown on the drawings and as specified in these specifications.

8.0 POT & PTFE BEARING:8.1 The POT & PTFE bearings shall be procured from RDSO approved Venders.8.2 The design of POT & PTFE bearings shall be submitted by the Vendor for approval

before supply.
