  • Ferrules and bolt length

    Items to take care

    1. Refer Ferrule Catalogue – https://reid.com.au/upload/modules/document_loader/Anchoring_Solutions_Design_Guide_2011.pdf
    2. Check whether ferrule face is flush with concrete or rebated.
    3. Check Thread length in Ferrule
    4. Check total thickness of bolted items including washer.
    5. Make sure that the bolt specified is at least 5 mm less than (WASHER THICKNESS + Plate thicknesses + Rebate in concrete + thread Length)

    Traps

    1. Bolt too long – If thread length in ferrule not taken into consideration
    2. Bolt too short – If washer, Rebate Plate thicknesses not taken into consideration

    Main issue here is the entire length of bolt is decided by the Cut length the modeler provides.

    If proper care is not taken, then there will be a site issue

  • Bolt to be used in Glazing location

    Bolt to be used in Glazing location

    Author: Pon Dhileepan

    While working in a project called Bateman Bay, TEK1 came across a situation where PFC members are provided to support glazing. PFCs are laid flat, a 50mm U channel is run along the PFC which supports the glass. The below image is the cross section across the glazing and it elucidate the set up.

    This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is image-1.png

    Problem 1:

    These PFCs are connected to columns by 10mm end plate & 16dia 8.8s bolts. The problem arose here as the bolt head of 8.8s bolt would clash with the glass. Refer below image for clarity.

    Hence, TEK1 raised a query as to whether they can cut the glass where ever bolts clash or use CSK bolts. The structural engineer changed the 8.8s bolts to CSK bolts.

    Problem 2:

    Another problem came as the PFC web is just 4mm whereas the CSK head is 8mm. The bolt head will still clashes with glass.

    Then we proposed to weld an 8mm plate under the PFC and CSK drill is to be made together. The proposal is accepted. The below images show that the glazing runs without any hinderance.

    TEK1 detected the issue earlier which saved cost in cutting the glass at site. Structural engineer often do not consider these kind of clashes and it is the duty of the modeler to find this out and make this to structural engineer’s knowledge.

    Thanks for reading.

  • RFI for additional support members required

    Does a detailer care about supporting the elements which are not available in the structural design, but it could affect the structure? You should care!

    See the below incident for an example.

    STRUCTURAL PLAN

    This structural plan has sections 1 & 2. Refer below snip for section views.

    STRUCTURAL SECTION VIEWS
    DETAIL-A WITH PARAPET SUPPORT

    If you see the above snap, Section 2 has detail-A, which shows parapet wall support. But section-1 does not have it.

    Is that means there is no support required?

    Actually, there is also support required.

    Refer below architect plan.


    ARCHITECTURAL PLAN

    We have noticed that the parapet coming all around the roof (Highlighted in Pink Colour). So we raise RFI regarding this issue for taking it to their attention. Refer below snip.

    RFI RAISED BY TEK1 REGARDING PARAPET SUPPORT

    The client realises the situation and approves providing parapet support members all around the roof. Refer below snip for the client’s response.

    RESPONSE FROM THE CLIENT

    We always keep our client’s out of trouble from these types of issues.
