where field-welding is indicated on the design drawing.
B. All bolted connections shall be made with High Strength
Tension Control (Twist Off) Bolts in accordance with the AISC
Specification for Structural Joints Using ASTM A325 or A490 Bolts,
except as noted below. High strength heavy hex head structural
bolts shall substitute for High Strength Tension Control (Twist
Off) bolts in the following connections:
1. Removable members where specified on design drawings.
2. Where designed bolt size is larger than 28 mm (1- inches). 3.
Where space is restricted to permit use of installation tool for
Tension Control (Twist Off)
bolts.
4. Where LeJeune bolts or equal are unavailable in quantities
required by Project.
5. Classified areas where use of electric tools is not
permitted.
C. Drift punching to match unaligned holes will not be
permitted.
D. With prior approval from Buyer, make enlargement of holes
necessary to make connections resulting from misfit by reaming or
drilling. Do not enlarge holes by flame cutting, burning, or by use
of drift pins.
E. Use bolts of larger diameter when bolt hole diameter exceeds
the bolt diameter by more than 1.6 mm (1/16 of an inch).
F. The procedure for installing high strength bolts in the field
shall be the same as outlined in Section 2.2 of this
specification.
G. Bolts shall be kept in dry storage until needed in the
ironwork. Bolts 25 mm (1 inch) diameter and over must first have
Johnsons Stickwax #140 or equal applied to the threads before being
assembled. Any Bolts that have been exposed and have become dried
out or rusty before use must be rejected and cannot be used until
they have been cleaned and waxed with Johnsons Stickwax #140 or
equal.
H. All nuts for high-strength bolts shall be wax-dipped to
reduce torque during installation.
I. When assembled, all joint surfaces, including those adjacent
to the bolt heads, nuts, or washers, shall be free of burrs, dirt,
and other foreign materials that would prevent solid seating of
parts.
J. When impact wrenches are used, wrenches of adequate capacity
and sufficient air supply shall be provided by the Contractor to
perform the required tightening of each bolt.
K. The Contractor shall snug tight all A307 bolt assemblies.

M. A325 Bolts if previously fully tensioned shall not be reused,
nor shall they be used as fit-up bolts.
N. Contractor shall color code, die punch, or otherwise mark the
ends of torqued high strength heavy hex head structural bolts
indicating that the bolts have been properly tensioned and are
ready for inspection. This is not required for Tension Control
(Twist Off) bolts.
3.5 Welded Connections

ksi).
D. Supplier shall provide erection clips for fit-up of field
welded connections. Remove erection clips unless approved by
buyer.
E. Minimum fillet welds shall be per AISC Manual of Steel
Construction, Table J.2.4, but not less than 5 mm (3/16 of an
inch).
F. Welds to connection plates embedded in concrete shall be

G. The following nondestructive examinations are required for
Structural Welding:
1. As a minimum 5 percent of the total number of full
penetration welds shall be radiographed or ultrasonically examined
100 percent of the entire length of the weld(s) selected. The welds
selected for nondestructive examination must include the joints,
where identified on design drawings.
2. Five percent of the total number of fillet or partial
penetration welds shall be magnetic particle examined 100 percent
of the entire length of the weld(s) selected.
3. When a weld selected under Section 3.5G.1. or Section
3.5G.2., of this specification, is rejected, 2 additional welds
shall be subject to nondestructive examinations at the Contractor's
expense. This procedure of examining 2 welds for every weld
rejected shall continue until all welds examined are accepted. The
replaced welds shall be examined in accordance with Section 3.5G.1.
or Section 3.5G.2., of this specification, whichever is
applicable.
4. Welds selected to satisfy the 5 percent requirements shall be
selected by the Buyers representative and shall represent a sample
of each welder's work for each type of weld.
5. Contractor shall visually inspect all completed welds.
Undercutting beyond the limits of AWS D1.1, surface porosity, and
crack-like discontinuities shall be removed to sound metal and
repaired.
3.6 Correction of Errors
Fit-up errors shall be corrected only after prior approval from
Buyer and in accordance with the applicable AISC provisions and
Contract requirements.
3.7 Steel Joists
A. Erection of joists shall be in accordance with the Steel
Joist Institute specifications for the type of joist used, the
shop/erection drawings, and the design drawings.
