GENERAL:
1. THE STRUCTURAL CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINISHED STRUCTURE.
THEY DONOT INDICATE THE METHOD OR SEQUENCE OF CONSTRUCTION. THE
CONTRACTOR SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR AND PROVIDE ALL MEASURES NECESSARY TO
PROTECT THE STRUCTURE DURING CONSTRUCTION. SUCH MEASURES SHALL INCLUDE,
BUT NOT BE LIMITED TO, BRACING, SHORING FOR LOADS DUE TO CONSTRUCTION
EQUIPMENT, ETC. THE STRUCTURAL ENGINEER SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE
CONTRACTOR'S MEANS, METHODS, TECHNIQUES, SEQUENCES FOR PROCEDURE OF
CONSTRUCTION, OR THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND THE PROGRAMS INCIDENT THERE TO
(NOR SHALL OBSERVATION VISITS TO THE SITE INCLUDE INSPECTION OF THESE
ITEMS). THE CONTRACTOR SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DESIGN AND
IMPLEMENTATION OF ALL SCAFFOLDING, BRACING AND SHORING.
2. WHERE REFERENCE IS MADE TO VARIOUS TEST STANDARDS FOR MATERIALS, SUCH
STANDARDS SHALL BE THE LATEST EDITION AND/OR ADDENDA.
ALUMINUM:
1. ALL ALUMINUM SHALL CONFORM WITH THE LATEST ALUMINUM DESIGN HANDBOOK.
2. ALL ALUMINUM SECTIONS SHALL BE:
a. SEMI-HOLLOWS AND HOLLOWS SHALL BE 6105-T5, 6005A-T6, OR 6005-T5
b. SOLIDS SHALL BE 6063-T6
STEEL:
1: ALL BOLTS AND WASHERS SHALL BE 304 STAINLESS STEEL CLASS 2 (A2-70).
2. ALL NUTS SHALL BE 316 STAINLESS STEEL CLASS 2 (A4-70).
TORQUE:
TORX BOLT FOR RAPID 2+ MODULE CLAMPS IS 14 N-M (10.5 FT-LBS)
M6 AND 1/4" BOLT TORQUE IS 6 N-M (4.5 FT-LBS)
