Steel Column Base Treatment Procedure

Cleaning of concrete column top surface.

Marking center line of steel column.

Leveling Plate at middle of 4 anchor-bolts with the same level of bottom of column-base-
plate.

Checking the level of the baseplate in reference to the same bases in uniformity of
column height.

Grouting mortar for column base i.e. Sika - grout 212-11or any approved equal levelling
grout.

Steel Structure Erection Procedure

Phase 1: Anchor Bolt Setting

Step 1: Marking for boundary line of starting column on pile cap.

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 bolt heads by masking tape.
Step 9: Cast concrete for starting column.
Step 10: After casting concrete, re-check anchor bolt position. Adjust the template if
necessary.

Equipment: Mobile Crane

Phase 2: Fitting-up of Columns

 Lay columns Grid A.

 Install base plate at designated column. Make sure to mark center line of column
and base plate. And column are properly beveled.
 Area for fit-up should be level, provide jig if necessary.
 Prepare connection of column as indicated on plan.
 Joint column properly using level block and guide plate.
 Weld connection properly.
 Check welding works using visual inspection method and randomly use dye
penetrant flaw indicator upon observing the quality of welds.

Phase 3

Step 1:

 Set up 2 side column along A between 8 and 7.

 Erect column at A-8 using mobile crane position at Llanes Street, provide temporary
bracing.
 Tighten anchor bolts and nuts sufficiently to prevent column from mocking.
 Continue with same procedure along A from 8-5 securing all column with temporary
bracing.

Step 2:

 Prepare beam along A and install erection angle at column.

 Installed beam between 8 and 7 and weld beam to column temporarily.
 Continue same procedure between 7 and 6 and 6-5.

Step 3:

 Repeat Step 1 and 2 along grid B from 8-5, erecting column and installation of beam
using mobile crane. Columns along grid B are 18 m length.
 Provide temporary platform for welding works on columns and beams.

Inspection and Quality Control for Steel Structures Building

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 steel 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.

Inspection of Members

 Inspect 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 matched-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.

Alignment Inspection of Steel Structure

 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 than 25mm.
 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 all the columns and rafters of whole building shall be done.

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.

Final Inspection of Steel Structure

 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(as
needed).
 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.
