other. Anything mentioned in the specifications but not shown in the drawings or
vice-versa shall be of effect as if mentioned in both.

2.) All drawings are done according to scale. Numerical values are indicated in drawings.
But if there are indicated numerical values drawings shall be measured by the scale,
But if there is a discrepancy, the numerical value indicated are to be followed
instead of the scale.

3.) All works mentioned herein shall be final. Any revisions to be done shall be settled
between the owner and the Engineer in charge of the construction.

Bottom shall be solid and undisturbed compaction.

2.) Before the laying of earth fill, all footings and ground beams are firmly established
as indicated in the drawings.

3.) In case of loose soil that the Engineer found to be unsuitable to hold the
foundations, all areas affected shall be subjected to further excavations and shall be
replaced by suitable earth, well compacted until the desired consistency is reached.

2.) Before the pouring of all foundations, all trenches shall be thoroughly compacted,
filled with four inches thick of aggregates and free from impurities.

3.) Concrete shall be kept moist for a minimum of seven (7) consecutive days
immediately after pouring by the use of wet burlap, fog spraying, or other approved
methods.

IV. REINFORCING BARS

1.) All rebars shall be of quality, structural grade.

2.) Before any concrete is poured, all rebars shall be cleaned free from mills, rusts,
scales, and other imperfection that may lose bond.

all the pertinent provisions of AISC Specifications for its design.

B. Bolts
All bolts, nuts and washers shall conform to A325 or A307 unless otherwise
indicated.

C. Welds
All welds shall be in accordance with AWS Structural Weld Code, for shielded
metal arc welding process. Electrodes shall conform to AWS AS-1.

2.) Fabrications
 A. All welded connections shall develop the full strength of the members
connected. The minimum length of fillet weld shall not be less than 4 times this
nominal size, where intermittent welds may be used. The length of segment
shall not be less than 4 times the weld size with minimum of 40mm.
B. Side of end fillet welds terminating at ends or sides shall be returned
continuously for a distance not less than twice the nominal size of the weld.

C. The maximum edge distance from bolt center shall be 12 times the thickness of
the plate but not to exceed 50mm.

D. The frame of steel structure skeleton shall be carried up true and plumb within
the limits, thus, temporary bracing shall be provided to resist all loads, as

VIII. PAINTS & VARNISHES

1.) Unless specified all brand of paint shall be Boysen or Davies.

2.) All exposed wood work shall be applied first with wood stain.

1.) Sanding is an essential part of painting works. Therefore, all cracks joints and nails
shall be glued and concealed first with wood filler.

2.) Paints shall be applied in three coats.
