Section 05100
Page 5
unless specifically allowed by the Architect. Where used, short-slotted holes shall be oriented normal to the
direction of load.
B. Provide beveled washers for surfaces out of parallel more than 1:20.
C. Provide bolts of sufficient length to extend entirely through nuts.
D. Protect fasteners from dirt and moisture at job site. Only as many fasteners as are anticipated to be installed
and tightened during a work shift shall be taken from protective storage. Fasteners not used shall be returned
to protected storage at end of shift. Fasteners shall not be cleaned of lubricant that is present in as-delivered
condition.
E. Anchor bolts and erection bolts: tighten with a suitable wrench not less than 15 inches long. Tap bolt heads
with a hammer while tightening.
F. High Strength Bolts (typical, except as noted otherwise): install bolts in properly aligned holes, and tighten to
snug tight condition. Snug tight condition is defined as the tightness that exists when all plies in a joint are in
firm contact.
G. Hand tighten and tack weld (nut-to-bolt shank) bolts required to be "finger-tight".
H. Holes for anchor bolts in base plates may be oversized in accordance with AISC Specifications. Provide
washers as indicated on Drawings.
2.09. SHOP PAINTING
A. Apply one coat of rust-inhibitive primer to exposed surfaces of structural steel members except: surfaces
required to be field welded, to be encased in concrete, to be spray fireproofed, and top flanges of beams with
shear connectors to support metal deck.
B. Thoroughly clean surfaces to be painted of all loose mill scale, dirt, rust, and other foreign matter with steel
scrapers, wire brushes, or sandblasting in accordance with SSPC SP-3. Remove oil and grease with solvents.
C. Mix paint in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations, continuously stir during application, and do
not add thinner after initial mixing.
D. Apply paint in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations, thoroughly work over surfaces and into
corners. Minimum dry thickness of coating shall be 2 mils.
E. Repair damage to coating prior to delivery.
2.010. FUSION WELDED ANCHORS
A. Comply with AWS D1.1, Section 7.
B. Clean surfaces to be welded of rust, oil, grease, paint and dirt. Remove mill scale by scraping or sandblasting.
C. Weld headed studs with appropriate equipment properly adjusted for climactic conditions.
D. Remove ceramic ferrules after welding.
2.011. SOURCE QUALITY CONTROL
A. Testing of Shear Studs:
1. When temperature is below 32 degrees F, one stud in each 100 shall be tested.
2. Minimum of 2 shear studs shall be tested at start of each production period in order to determine proper
generator, control unit and stud welder setting. Studs shall be capable of being bent 45 degrees from
vertical without weld failure. If, after welding, visual inspection reveals that sound weld or full 360
degree fillet has not been obtained for a particular stud, stud shall be struck with hammer and bent 15
degrees off perpendicular toward nearest end of beam. Studs failing this test shall be replaced.
B. Pre-Erection Testing of High Strength Bolts
1. Test at least three bolt, nut and washer assemblies from each lot of bolts supplied to job site.
2. Test assemblies in a tension measuring device at site to verify that assemblies can develop tension listed in
Table 4 of AISC Specification for Structural Joints.
3. Bolt tension shall be developed by tightening of nut.
C. Inspection of Structural Steel:
1. Provide access to materials in fabrication and full cooperation to testing laboratory.
2. Following testing services shall be performed:
a. Check temporary bracing of steel frame.
b. Check location and condition of anchor bolts.
c. Check plumbness and tolerance of steel frame.
d. Qualification of welders and welding techniques.
e. Visually inspect erection bolts.
f. Inspection of high-strength bolting:
