A. GENERAL
1. Construction notes & typical details apply to all drawings unless otherwise shown or
noted, modify typical details as directed to meet special conditions.
2. Shop drawings with erection & placing diagrams of all structural steel, miscellaneous
iron, pre-cast concrete etc. Shall be submitted for engineer’s approval before
fabrication.
3. Contractor shall verify all dimensions before all work is to begin, check mechanical &
electrical contractors for conduits, pipe sleeves, etc. To be embedded in concrete.
1. All materials & workmanship shall conform with the latest building code of American
Concrete Institute (ACI – 318).
2. All concrete shall develop a minimum compressive strength at the end of twenty-eight
(28) days with the corresponding maximum size aggregate & slump as follows:
3. All reinforcing bars shall conform to ASTM A615 Grade 40 for diameter 10 mm &
smaller bars and Grade 60 for diameter 12 mm and larger bars. Column hoops are all
grade 40 bars.
7. All anchor bolts, dowels, and other inserts, shall be properly positioned and secured
in place prior to placing of concrete.
8. Contractors shall note and provide all miscellaneous curns, sills, stools, equipment
and mechanical bases that are required by the architectural, electrical, and
mechanical drawings.
9. Reinforcing bars shall be free of rust, grease and other materials likely to impair
bond.
10. All concrete shall be kept moist for a minimum of seven (7) consecutive days
immediately after pouring by the use of wel burlap, fog spraying, curing or other
approved methods.
1. All non-load bearing type concrete blocks shall have a unit weight not to exceed 80
pcf. For load bearing type of concrete blocks, a minimum compressive strength of 6.9
MPa shall be developed.
2. Provide 1–16 mmø vertical bars at corners, intersections, end of walls and each side
of openings.
3. Lintel beams shall bear at least 8 inches (200 mm) on each side of masonry wall
opening.
D. FOUNDATION
1. Foundation is designed for assumed allowable soil bearing capacity of 3,000 psf.
2. Foundation shall rest on natural soil. Unless otherwise noted by the engineer, no part
of the foundation shall rest on fill.
3. The contractor shall notify the engineer after footing excavation have been completed
and prior to concreting to confirm the design soil bearing capacity.
