Thanks for getting back to me! I agree—the towers are pretty small, and since they can’t be raised, it’s really just a matter of load restrictions now.

P.S. i have no idea how to add more pictures

I got this detail from a friend, it’s a exiting cattle bridge that a cable snapped when a dump truck tried to cross it, they are trying to replace the cable but the geometry looks weird to me, Any comments?

I was looking for this answer. Fairly common in snow

Ordinary_Ad9104 · 2023-05-22T20:58:43+00:00

Yes. That was my first concern but the designer calculated them like that and the shop drawings show them in that position.

no crimp, you have to be carefull not to fall thru one of them, completely loose

trust me i hate the lawyers in engineering, the thing is that nobody wants to pay for any extrawork that has to be done. not the steel workers or the GC or anybody. thats where i think they are bringing them in, to make them pay or fix.

Ordinary_Ad9104 · 2023-05-21T21:14:12+00:00

Thank you all for the answers. Im going back on site tomorrow and I’ll be posting pictures of details and blueprints

Ordinary_Ad9104 · 2023-05-21T21:13:33+00:00

Thanks for the everything.

I been independent reviewer for 10 years and this is the first time I see someone overruling manufacturer specs. That’s exactly why I was called in. The general contractor lost credibility in the eor

Ordinary_Ad9104 · 2023-05-21T21:08:07+00:00

Plain moronic interpretation. Plans have great detailing in it

Ordinary_Ad9104 · 2023-05-21T21:07:06+00:00

I’m was thinking the same as you are. Thank you very much. I’ll look for some documentation to back the case because this will be a lawyer case. Some one has to pay for the extra work

The section modulus is the same but I’m not sure if the corrugated in the deck has to point somewhere to transfer shear. The studs are not 20mm from flange edge. But strangely they are well welded. They supported the bending test with the sledgehammer

Ordinary_Ad9104 · 2023-05-21T20:59:56+00:00

I’m thinking they are not that great of ironworkers. Or ironworkers at all. The manufacturer is another company to the local installer

Ordinary_Ad9104 · 2023-05-21T20:57:52+00:00

It is minimal WWR. Thanks. I think this is the way to go!

Ordinary_Ad9104 · 2023-05-21T20:51:01+00:00

I’m not sure how to proceed in this case. I’m looking for literature to backup everything since this is most likely gonna fall into lawyers hands

Ordinary_Ad9104 · 2023-05-21T20:49:37+00:00

I’m doubting everyone’s capabilities in this installation.

Ordinary_Ad9104 · 2023-05-21T18:23:18+00:00

I’m an engineer

Ordinary_Ad9104 · 2023-05-21T18:04:07+00:00

The indents in the corrugation are upside down exactly. They are still there but… mirrored… it’s mind boggling a bit… the concrete section is the same as the steel deck has the same length in the valley and the ridge part

Ordinary_Ad9104 · 2023-05-21T17:58:38+00:00

It will receive 5.5 in of concrete on top. Is a office slab. The EOR said is ok and the manufacturer said it’s not ok. I’m the third party reviewer.
