4. SITE PREPARATION

Stock yard must be prepared before unloading of steel structure materials.

(see attached layout plan)
All steel structure materials are carefully checked and loaded to ensure safe delivery and
to avoid shortages. Materials are packaged and can be unloaded by use of heavy duty
Fork-lift or by crane.

At the time of unloading, materials should be checked by both Obayashi engineer and Zamil
engineer responsible with the Bill of Materials or Packing List. Any shortages must be reported to
Zamil Steel immediately by official letter.
Materials should be laid out in order. The layout will depend on size of building and site
conditions. Use timber blocks between bundles or members for ease of handling.

5. METHOD OF ERECTION

Phase 1: ANCHOR BOLT SETTING

Step 1: Marking for boundary line of starting column on footing
Step 2: Check and adjust position of starting column-rebar if necessary.
Step 3: Set form for starting column and support them carefully.
Step 4: Marking for bolt-group-center line on side of form.
Step 5: Set template with anchor bolts. The template position is higher than concrete
surface level. Marking line of bolt-group-center and each bolt must be matched on
the template. Adjust position of the template according to marking line on footing
by plum bob.
Step 6: Welding diagonal supporting bar to column rebar and anchor bolt.
Step 7: Check position of anchor bolt again.
Step 8: Protect bolts head by masking tape
Step 9: Cast concrete for starting column
Step10: After casting concrete, re-check anchor bolt position. Adjusting the template if
necessary.
 Phase 2: STRUCTURE ERECTION

Step 1:
• Set up 2 side columns of braced bay (between Grid 4 and Grid 5), including
bracing beams.
• Erect interior columns (along grid C1-4 and C1-5) with temporary bracing.
• Tighten anchor bolts and nuts sufficiently to prevent columns from rocking.
• Assemble rafter components of Grid 4 on the ground into connection.
• Install all bolts in rafter splices to proper tension, using turn-off- nut method
and torque wrench.
• Raise the first assembled rafter on top of column by cranes.
• Install bolts of rafter through column connection and tighten to snug
position.
• Secure all temporary, wire ropes bracings, plumb and align the column and
rafter before releasing the crane.

Step 2:
• Using same procedure to assemble other parts of the rafter of Grid 5 (A – F).
• Place it on top of interior columns.
• Bolt to column connections and tighten.
• Secure temporary bracings.

Step 3:
• Assemble the rafter of Grid 6 (same as the first erected rafters). Connect and
bolted to column splices. The crane has to keep holding the rafter in position
until sufficient purlins ( 1/3 of total purlins at that area ) have installed to
provide rigid support for the bay. The crane can release if having temporary
bracing cables for both sides at interval of maximum 10 m.
• Continue erecting the next rafters of the brace bay.
• Completing purlins, flange braces, roof bracings.
• Plumb and align before proceeding to erect the next bays.
• After checking the alignment and square-ness, tighten again anchor bolts,
column connection, girts bolts, and eave strut bolts to required tension by
torque wrench.

Step 4:
• Continue erecting columns rafters for the next bays, using same procedure
described in Step 1.
• Complete installation of purlins and girts.
• Complete roof angle bracings, and all secondary members.

Step 5:
• Fabrication and installation of MAXSEAM roofing panels. (See attached
“Erection Procedure for Maxseam roof Panel”)

Step 6:
 • Install wall panels, downspouts and gutters.
• Complete trims and accessories.

6. QUALITY CONTROL

- Inspection is necessary at all steps of erection process, from the times materials are
first received until the structure is completely installed.

- Inspection during the erection process shall be continuous in order to prevent the
occurrence of possible damage and to require the maintenance of high standard
workmanship. Inspection shall include members, painting, connection, alignment,
bracings, roofing and wall cladding, equipment and false work.

6.1. Members
- Inspection members for damage due to mishandling or careless storage.

- Make sure that each member is placed in its proper position in the structure and that
fillers, shims, and washers required for the type of connection are properly used.

- Prevent abuse of material by bending, straining, or heavy pounding by sledges.

- Inspect the accuracy of match-marked connections.

- Check the painting work.

- After finishing the painting work, all steel members shall be checked to make sure
that small area of steel members is painted.

6.2. Connection

a/ Anchor bolts:
- Check the tolerance of dimensions between anchor bolts to meet the required
tolerance (5mm).

- Check the tightness of anchor bolts to meet the require forces.

b/ Bolts connection:
- The supervisor has to assure himself that the wrenches used are calibrated properly
so that bolts are tightened the proper amount. Also the proper lengths of bolts shall
be checked.

- After connecting, all bolts shall be tightened to obtain the required tension values
• Using turn-off nut method: Tighten more120o+/-30o for bolt diameter
>12mm, tighten more 60o-0+30o for bolt diameter = 12mm.
• Torque wrench: the actual value must be within the recommended value +/-
5_10%.

- Every connection point shall be inspected with the inspection record that is made by the
team leader, with the confirmation of Obayashi responsible engineers and Site Manager.
 The actual value of tension or torque moment of every bolt in the connection shall be shown
on the record.

6.3. Alignment
- After the first bay (braced bay) is erected, the columns shall be made plumb and the
rafters shall be straight.

- After completing the erection of main frames the alignment check shall be done
again, before continuing the erection of the successive bays.

The tolerance of column plumb must be within the value of 1/500 of column height,
but can not be more than25mm.

The tolerance of Rafter alignment (from straight rafter - line) must be within the value
of 1/300 of Span.

-After completing the erection of main frames, the final check of alignment (plumbing and
straightness) for the all columns and rafters of whole building shall be done.

6.4. Adjustment of bracing

- Adjustable diagonal bracing is fixed after all parts of the structure are in place.

- In bolted structures having diagonal bracing, wall bracings are adjusted after the columns
are plumbed, and roof bracing are adjusted when rafters are in straight line.

6.5. Roofing and Wall cladding

Check sequence of roof panels on roof.

Check correct starting- end position of roof and wall panels.
Check right screws using.
All screws must be perpendicular to panels, and rubber washer thickness must be
from 1.00 to 1.20mm.
 (See attached “Erection Procedure for Maxseam roof Panel”)

6.6. Final Inspection

After completing all trims and accessories, a final inspection of the building shall be
done:

All bracings in position and tightened.

All bolts in place and high strength bolts tightened to correct tension value.
Check that roof and gutters are clear of debris and ferrous metals.
Check improper drilled screws.
Check opening for joinery.
Touch up any damaged paint.

7. STEEL COLUMN BASE TREATMENT

Procedure
a. Cleaning of concrete column top surface.

b. Marking centerline of steel column.

c. Leveling mortar base (using high grade mortar G150 ) at middle of 4 anchor-bolts
with the same level of bottom of column-base-plate.

d. Checking level of column.

e. Grouting mortar for column base. (Sika- grout 212-11: see attached catalog)
