2011 Conaway ConferenceStructures Update

Deck Placement Control ElevationsJuly 2008 BDM Changes - Plans

provide:•Screed Elevations (to set finished surface)

– Curblines (barrier) or Deck edges – Profile grade lines (not over beams)– Transverse grade-break lines– Phased construction lines

•Top of Haunch Elevations– Centerline of each girder (to set forms)

•Final Deck Surface Elevations22011 Conaway Conference

Deck Placement Control Elevations• SCREED ELEVATIONS represent the

theoretical deck surface location prior to deflections caused by deck placement and other anticipated dead loads.

• TOP OF HAUNCH ELEVATIONS represent the theoretical location of the bottom of the deck above the beam/girder haunch prior to deflections caused by deck placement and other anticipated dead loads.

• Haunch Fills = Top of Haunch Elev. – Surveyed Beam Elev.

Deck Placement Control Elevations

• FINAL DECK SURFACE ELEVATIONS shown represent the deck surface location after all anticipated dead load deflections have occurred.

DIFFERENTIAL DEFLECTIONThe primary reason for eliminating

screed elevations from above each beam/girder line was differential deflection between beam/girders

Deck Placement Control Elevations

Causes of Differential DeflectionVariations in one of the following three variables will affect the amount of beam/girder deflection that occurs due to the wet weight of concrete at each screed cross-section:

– Span length of each beam/girders.– Magnitude of concrete load applied to

each beam/girder.– Size of each beam/girder cross-section.

PN 525 Steel Price Adjustment

Changes in 7/17/2009 from 8/2/2004 Version

- Eliminated Cost Basis(Index) - Changed indices for Structural Steel Members,

Levels UF, 1, 2, and 3 and Steel H-Piling (with average of lowest and highest 27” to 36” tall, 10” -12” wide flange beams up to 256 lbs./ft. from Nucor-Yamato, SDI, and Gerdau-Ameristeel

- Total steel price adjustment (SPA) would not be computed unless the percent (%) change was 10% or more, (had been 5% change).

- Put into four categories

72011 Conaway Conference

PN 525 Steel Price Adjustment 1/15/2010 and 4/16/2010 Versions

Simplified to just two categories Category 1: Structural Steel Members, Levels UF

1,2 &3 and Steel H-Piling– Based on average of lowest & highest 27” to 36” tall wide

flange beams from 3 suppliers

Category 2: Structural Steel Members, Levels 4,5 &6 and Stay-in-Place casing

- Based on AMM Steel Plate indices Guardrail, traffic & light poles, corrugated metalpipe, expansion joints, bearings, pre-stressed andpost tensioning strand & reinforcing steel eliminated

Sealing of Concrete Surfaces• Measure sealing of concrete

surfaces by the number of square yards of coated area projected to a 2-dimensional surface

• Documentation – New CA-S-21 Form• New Work Type 57 for Sealing of

Concrete Surfaces • Contractors should have had

training• Came up with new pay item for

Removal of Existing Coating (S.Y.)• Remove existing coatings completely• Ensure that all wastes generated by

surface preparation operation are managed to prevent discharge

514 Structural Steel Painting

Duties of the QCS:1. Inspect equipment and abrasive at specified intervals

2. Approve the work and provide documentation that the work has been approved immediately before the QCP

3. Inspect the work with the Engineer or his representative at all QCP.

4. Verify the Contractor or fabricator performed work according to the work requirements.

5. Cooperate with the inspection and testing performed by the Engineer and inspector.

6. Document test results and compare test results with the inspector’s test results.

7. Notify the foreman of nonconforming work.

8. Stop work when test equipment is not available and when necessary to ensure the work is performed according to the Contract.

• Quality Control Points (QCP):• QCPs are points in time when one

phase of the work is complete and approved by the quality control specialist and ready for inspection by the Engineer before continuing with the next phase of work.

122011 Conaway Conference

514 Structural Steel Painting

• At a QCP, the quality control specialist or fabricator shall provide quality control tests bearing their signature to the Engineer.(CA-S-7 QCS Inspection Documentation Form)

• The Contractor or fabricator shall provide the Engineer and inspectors access to inspect all affected surfaces.

• If inspection identifies a deficiency, correct the deficiency according to the Contract Documents before starting the next phase of work.
