Location, dimensions and details of recesses, depressions, openings and equipment <br /> supports shall be verified by reference to architectural, electrical and mechanical <br /> drawings. <br /> EXISTING CONDITIONS <br /> Contractor shall verify all dimensions, elevations, and details of existing structure where <br /> they affect this construction. Notify architect and engineer if there are any deviations <br /> from the contract documents. <br /> Contractor shall field verify dimensions and elevations prior to fabrication of structural <br /> members. <br /> TEMPORARY BRACING <br /> All structural members are designed for in-place loads. Contractor is responsible for <br /> bracing, without overstressing, all structural elements as required at all stages of <br /> construction until completion of this project. <br /> Provide temporary lateral support for all walls until walls are adequately braced by floor <br /> and roof structure. <br /> Provide required temporary bracing for structural steel until permanent bracing and <br /> walls are in place. <br /> OPENINGS <br /> Verify size and location of all openings with architectural and mechanical drawings. <br /> Openings in floor and roof not shown on structural drawings must be placed between <br /> structural members. <br /> The contractor shall provide sleeves through concrete slabs, joists and beams for all <br /> plumbing. Spread reinforcing as required to provide concrete cover for reinforcing. <br /> GENERAL SOIL NOTES <br /> The structure has been designed using an assumed allowable soil bearing pressure of <br /> 2000 psf on virgin soil or compacted granular fill for footings. <br /> Remove all top soil, uncompacted fill or other poor soil from the construction site as <br /> determined by the soils engineer. <br /> Slope the site to drain away from the building. <br /> FOOTINGS/FOUNDATIONS <br /> Wall footings are cast-in-place concrete with continuous reinforcing placed 3" clear of <br /> bottom and 2" clear at top and sides. <br /> Provide 30 bar dia. lap at splices and full crossing lap at corners and intersections. <br /> Unless otherwise noted, wall footings are centered under walls and column footings <br /> under columns. <br /> Footings for walls not noted otherwise shall be 12" thick with a minimum projection of <br /> 4" each side with 2-#4 continuous. <br /> Maintain minimum frost depth for all exterior footings. <br /> Cast dowels in footing for foundation walls above. Dowels to be the same quantity, size <br /> and spacing as the vertical wall reinforcing. Dowels to be 30" long, extend 9" into <br /> footings uniess noted otherwise. <br /> Contractor shall be responsible to implement hot weather concrete requirements as per <br /> ACI 305 and cold weather concrete requirements as per ACI 306. <br /> Shore all foundation walls appropriately before backfilling and compacting. <br /> SLABS ON GRADE <br />
