effectively complete work. <br /> C. Setting Bases and Bearing Plates: Clean concrete and masonry bearing surfaces of <br /> bond-reducing materials and roughen to imgrove bond to surfaces. Clean bottom surface of base and <br /> bearing plates. <br /> 1. Set loose and attached base plates and bearing plates for slructural members on <br /> wedges or other adjusting devices. <br /> 2. Tighten anchor bolts after supported members have been positioned and plumbed. Do <br /> not remove wedges or shims,but if protruding,c,ut off flush with edge of base or bearing <br /> plate prior to packing with grout. <br /> 3. Pack grout solidly between bearing surfaces and bases or plates to ensure that no voids <br /> remain. Finish exposed surfaces,protect installed materials,and allow to cure. <br /> 4. For proprietary grout materials,comply with manufacturer's instructions. <br /> D. Field Assembly: Set structural frames accurately to lines and elevations indicated. Bolt blocking <br /> members to flanges as detailed. Align and adjust various members forming part of complete frame or <br /> structure before permanendy fastening. Clean bearing surfaces and other surfaces that will be in <br /> permanent contact before assembly. Perform necessary adjustments to compensate for discrepancies in <br /> elevations and alignment <br /> E. Level and plumb individual members of s�ucture within specified AISC tolerances. <br /> F. Splice members only where indicatecl and accepted on shop drawings. <br /> G. Erection Bolts: On exposed welded construction,remove erection bolts,fill holes with plug <br /> welds,and grind smooth at exposed surfaces. <br /> 1. Comply with AISC Specifications for bearing,adequacy of temporary <br /> connections,alignment,and removal of paint on surfaces adjacent to field welds. <br /> 2. Do not enlazge unfair holes in members by burning or by using drift pins,except in <br /> secondary bracing members. Ream holes that must be enlazged to admit bolts. <br /> H. Gas Cutting: Do not use gas cutting torches in field for correcting fabrication errors in primary <br /> structural framing. Cutting will be permitted only on secondary members that are not under stress, as <br /> acceptable to Architect. Finish gas-cut sections equal to a sheared appearance when permitted. <br /> 3.2 QUALITY CONTROL <br /> A. Owner will engage an independent testing and inspection agency to inspect high-strength bolted <br /> connections and welded connections and to perform tests and prepaze test reports if required by the <br /> Engineer.. <br /> B. Testing agency shall conduct and interpret tests,state in each report whether test specimens <br /> comply with requirements,and specifically state any deviations therefrom. <br /> C. Provide access for testing agency to places where structural steel work is being fabricated or <br /> produced so that required inspection and testing can be accomplished. <br /> D. Testing agency may inspect structural steel at plant before slupment. <br /> E. Correct deficiencies in structural steel work that inspections and laboratory test reports have <br /> indicated to be not in compliance with requirements. Perform additional tests,at Contractor's expense,as <br /> Page 4 of 5 <br />
