Alignment of new or existing underground utilities that may cause construction difficulties due to the close proximity to new substructure. For bridges, this description consists of the span configuration and the type of superstructure followed by SPAN or SPANS as required. When the profile grade is not along the centerline of roadway, but is along either the centerline of structure or median, the profile grade shall be added to the appropriate leader note. Further, as cooking is more frequent in residential buildings, numbers of fires from cooking in residential buildings (about 160,000) are higher as compared to non-residential buildings (about 25,000). Design Specifications, Loadings & Unit Stresses and Standard Plans. For large or complex structures with a large amount of details an Index Sheet is often added as the front sheet. Consider how high a person can reach to pass lifting chains or slings around the elements. (cross-listed as CHEM ENG 747) Generally, certain voids are designated for filling and reinforcement, particularly at corners, wall-ends, and openings while other voids are left empty. The dimension of the overall roadway width shall be provided, followed by Roadway. The correct lifting equipment should be on-site to unload precast concrete elements. This information shall be typed exactly as shown on the plat sheet of the bridge survey (typically all uppercase but not always). Stone blocks used in masonry can be dressed or rough, though in both examples: corners, door and window jambs, and similar areas are usually dressed. A notifiable illness is when someone becomes seriously ill as a result of work; this is then a notifiable event. GRWM Regulations 14(2) and 14(4): What the emergency plan needs to contain(external link). elements do not become unstable when the restraint system is released on-site. Consider how to document each workers achievements (eg in a training register or log). The excavation datum elevation, if required shall be specified by pointing to a single line placed at the proper vertical location, preferably below the ground line, near an intermediate bent. The PCBU must address the risk of workers being exposed to a suspended load. 3 unit(s) What weather conditions are expected during the project (eg seasonal changes)? 1, pp. or carry out other reasonably foreseeable activities such as inspection, cleaning, maintenance or repair. For rehabilitation of existing bridges a Typical Section Thru Deck Detail is shown instead of the Plan and General Elevation Details. This is limiting the versatility of structural products and creating a hindrance in using their full potential in building applications. check whether these control measures will effectively manage their risks. These loads must be derived in accordance with the relevant requirements in the AS/NZS 1170 series. The slump test is suitable for slumps of medium to low workability, slump in the range of 5 260 mm, the test fails to determine the difference in workability in stiff mixes which have zero slump, or for wet mixes that give a collapse slump. The Location Sketch, Land Survey Block, and the Structural Title Block typically located on the Plan and General Elevation Sheet is located with the Index of Drawings on the Index Sheet. Failing to remove bolts is a common cause of lifting anchor failures. In general, growth of fire in a compartment is categorized into two distinct phases; namely pre-flashover fires and post-flashover fires (Figure 2). In the United States, engineers use the ASTM C94, standard specification for ready-mixed concrete, and AASHTO specifications, address clump tolerances in detail. confirmed whether the road shoulder is able to support the load? Trends in leading causes of fires in residential and non-residential buildings are shown in Figure 5. the cost of eliminating or minimising the risk and whether the cost is grossly disproportionate to the risk. Some requirements and recommendations in the guidelines are based on benchmarks set by New Zealand and Australian standards for working safely with precast concrete elements. A duty holder is a person who has a duty under HSWA. It should include the following information: After each use, braces should be inspected and maintained. Suction loads can cause lifting equipment failure, structural crane damage or crane instability. Identify hazards, risks and the related control measures before work begins so that the control measures are ready to put in place when needed. Intermediate Bents. These include: stability criterion (R) which is the ability to withstand applied loads during fire exposure; integrity criterion (E) which is the ability to prevent fire propagation due to formation of cracks and fissures; and insulation criterion (I) which is the ability to insulate the unexposed faces during fire exposure. See the NZTA website for information about work time and logbook requirements. If a reference note indicator is only required in one detail, the reference note shall either be placed near the indicator in the detail or directly below the title of the detail. However, sometimes the design may require unequal loading on lifting points, causing an increased load to be applied to particular lifting anchors. The dimension callout shall be the asterisked final railroad clearance note of EPG 751.50 E3 Miscellaneous placed near the General Elevation as shown in the following detail. Raised objects include objects lifted by cranes. A competent person (such as an engineer) should: The design of storage and transport frames should meet standards outlined in: Store precast concrete elements on suitable supports on firm, level ground that is not likely to collapse under the weight of the elements. All of the factors discussed above have a direct impact on starting fire or increasing its severity, and a comprehensive review of all such factors can be found in the literature (Buchanan and Abu, 2017; Drysdale, 2011). Based on average percentage cost distribution of fire hazard for 16 countries from 2008 to 2010, it is observed that providing fire protection measures in buildings is the most expensive measure with a huge 39.6 per cent contribution to total fire hazard costs (Brushlinsky et al., 2016). The HSMS should be available to all workers in one or more formats that are easy for workers to access and understand. Nominal and actual lengths shall be rounded to the nearest inch. The current fire protection measures in buildings do not account for all contemporary fire hazard issues, which has made fire safety a growing concern. However, the average response time vary from few minutes to few hours in different countries. type, make, capacity and technical specifications (as applicable) of: bracing and cast-in components, including type and capacity, size and grade of bolts to be used for any temporary erection cast-in components, orientation (position relative to each other) of the precast concrete elements, location, orientation and depth of anchors, and the size, configuration and concrete cover of any component reinforcement required, requirements for erection brace footings (and prop footings, if required), brace fixings, and concrete strength of the brace footings (including slabs) at the time of erection. Therefore, to ensure good fire performance of new construction materials, their behavior under fire conditions should be characterized prior to use in buildings. These references are to come from instructors most familiar with your academic work. A pre-compressive force is induced in the concrete with the help of high strength steel tendons before the actual service load. issue a Provisional Improvement Notice (PIN). 8. Notes: In general, abbreviations shall not be used in notes. Identify hazards and then assess which work risks to take care of first. Vehicles should be able to travel safely on the access provided at the delivery site. Add (Not above) if indicated in the Bridge Memorandum or Design Layout. The orientation of the bents shall be as noted in the Bridge Memorandum or Design Layout. Permanent grouting or mortar packing of precast concrete element supportpoints requires care and supervision to ensure that the requirements for strengthand durability are met. One of the biggest limitations of existing fire protection strategies lies in not providing a holistic framework to mitigate fire hazard. From the point of view of material modeling, masonry is a special material of extreme mechanical properties (with a very high ratio between strength in compression and in tension), so that the applied loads do not diffuse as they do in elastic bodies, but tend to percolate along lines of high stiffness. The General Notes typically are shown on the same sheet as the Estimated Quantities. Consider specific design components that may affect transportation, including: Although a purpose-built trailer should be the first choice for transport, precast concrete elements are not always transported on specialised trailers. WorkSafes website for online tools, forms and other resources. New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA)(external link), Building and Construction Industry Training Organisation (BCITO)(external link). Braces may take the form of proprietaryprops (often adjustable), scaffolding, or specially designed components. With rapid development across the globe, fire hazard in buildings have undergone significant transformation in terms of severity and versatility and have become a growing concern in recent years. Lengths of individual legs of shaped reinforcing bars shall be out to out dimensions using -inch increments and rounded as required to maintain clearances. Hyphens, without spaces before or after the hyphen, shall be used to link two or more words or elements that act as a single idea. The elevations of the top of the following items shall be specified: seal course, anticipated sound rock, drilled shafts, permanent casing, tie beams, collision walls and rails of railroads at location of minimum vertical clearance. There are some businesses that must arrange an election for an HSR if asked. This section provides detailing guidance for these items. Moreover, the standards of training for firefighters vary significantly from one country to another, and some countries do not even have trained firefighters at all (Brushlinsky et al., 2017). >> endobj 246 0 obj << /D [ 1 /FitH 1012 ] /F 253 0 R /S /GoToR >> endobj 247 0 obj << /Parent 237 0 R /A 248 0 R /Next 245 0 R /Prev 249 0 R /Title (1.3.3 Self-Straining Forces.) A PCBU must ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health and safety of workers, and that other people are not put at risk by its work. is operated within the limits it was designed to operate within. Look at the following areas when considering the effects of work on peoples health: Figure 2 shows examples of work-related health risks and health-related safety risks. (See NZTA Compliance in Section 9.5 of these guidelines.). [5]:68, The slump test is suitable for slumps of medium to low workability, slump in the range of 5 260mm, the test fails to determine the difference in workability in stiff mixes which have zero slump, or for wet mixes that give a collapse slump. How will learning be supported after training? (2002), Toxicity of fire smoke, Critical Reviews in Toxicology, Vol. Has the head contractor given the structural designer: Table 12: Documentation for structural designer: What to consider. manage risks to health and safety from work under objects raised or lifted by any means. Transporting precast concrete elements over rough ground can damage them if they are exposed to dynamic loads higher than they were designed to handle. The head contractor on the construction site should, as part of the HSMS, provide a site-specific traffic management plan. Also, sprinklers incur additional costs in terms of maintenance as they require water main supply which is not easy to provide in developing countries with limited water resources. They have to ensure that the system can handle the forces it may be exposed to. Temperature and shrinkage reinforcement are assumed to fully develop the specified yield stresses. F. and E. may be used if required due to lack of space. When the element will be tilted about an edge using lifting anchors placed in the element face, the geometric centre of the face-lift anchors needs to be above the elements centre of gravity. The training is not understood by workers perhaps it was not adapted to suit their numeracy (number), literacy (reading/writing) or language skills. It has to be set up according to the manufacturers specifications and sited on ground that can support the weight of the crane and the suspended load. A lower overall centre of gravity results in a more stable vehicle. Related Papers. Consider the strength of the concrete in the brace footing when designingbracing anchors for foundations. uuid:8103d2e2-4be0-11da-b39d-000a957c7fa4 Note that: Precast manufacturers should be aware of the hazards and risks of the stressing operation and have adequate control measures. Along with many advantages, reinforced concrete also poses some disadvantages also. Epoxy coated reinforcement shall also be considered (regardless of location) where panels will be continuously wetted (around sources of water) and for structurally critical applications, such as containing necessary fill around structures. They should be designed with a factor of safety of 2.5 against failure of concrete. It is possible to manage this risk by ensuring that all riggers stand to the side, or at the end of the load, when placing each unit. See WorkSafes Emergency Management Flipchart on the Hazardous Substances Toolbox website. Make sure all control measures for safe handling, storing and transportation are in place.

For structural safety, the performance parameters include structural response parameters under fire exposure such as deflection, integrity, insulation and residual strength. have high installation and maintenance costs. Other than concrete, masonry construction does not lend itself well to mechanization, and requires more skilled labor than. Small bold text used for subtitles and subheadings and for bench marks shall also be 1/8 inch tall. Long piles need only be shown for a short distance below footings ending with a long break line. a person being caught between a precast concrete element and another object (eg mobile plant) while elements are being handled. documents describing the site access and cranage, documents describing the rigging and lifting; special lifts may include rotation of precast elements and multiple crane lifts, documents describing the temporary supports, including propping, back propping, access and bracing. Course and project programme requires the completion of the equivalent of 8 half graduate level courses plus the presentation of a report, which demonstrates the ability to carry out independent study and reach a satisfactory conclusion. Identify hazards which could injure or harm anyone during any stage of precast concrete work. The following capitalization rules shall be used except notes for design specifications, loadings and unit stresses shall match as shown in EPG 751.50, A1. High toxicity can increase risk to life safety, whereas, high combustibility aggravates fire severity by causing rapid fire growth and spread. The crane should have a Load Moment Indicator (LMI) system that can indicate the load on each hook being used. Sentence fragments are never punctuated. Past tense shall also be used with verbs used as adjectives, including words describing the orientation of structures or structural components, e.g. These factors will also determine the need for a load pilot(s) to accompany the transport vehicle, and the requirements for any overweight and/or overdimension permits. Eurocode 2 (2004), Design of Concrete Structures-Part 1-2: general Rules -Structural Fire Design, European Committee for Standardization, London. All other modification factors shall be used. The outriggers of a mobile crane are not fullyextended or not used as directed. Bracing anchors are used to connect the brace to the braced precast concrete element and the brace footing. Location of the bracing anchors should allow the braces to hang vertically duringlifting without interfering with the lifting rigging. Fire represents a severe hazard in both developing and developed countries and poses significant threat to life, structure, property and environment. Other portions of the code describe where certain fire-resistance-rated elements are required. The second figure also shows the additional dimension required at the intermediate bents when the centerline of the roadway does not pass through the geometric center of the intermediate bents. Is there enough space to store precast concrete elements? Development lengths for compression reinforcement have been tabulated on the following pages and include the modification factors except as described above. Design for the serviceability limit state is to be based on a 1 in 25 years event. Always assess the competence of any new worker on the site. a device for restrictive applications determined on a case-by-case basis. For non-redundant steel structures or members, the designer shall determine which, if any, component is a Fracture Critical Member (FCM). It can be clearly observed from Figure 3 that temperature rises rapidly for relatively shorter duration in case of all modern room fires, thus, represent increased fire severity. During fully developed stage, fire temperatures can reach above 1,000C which can cause significant degradation in strength and stiffness properties of structural materials (concrete, steel, wood, etc.) Thisincludes all personal protective equipment (PPE). These events trigger requirements such as immediately preserving the site and keeping a record of the event for at least five years afterwards. People loading the rack should have quick access to this certificate and rating. Note there could be a number of rigging systems for the same panel, at different times: The dogman/rigger should check the rigging before lifting, particularly if steel wire rope is used in the rigging system. Workers can also be represented by unions, community or church leaders, lawyers, respected members of ethnic communities, or people working on specific projects. Close Outline. Poorly stored precast concrete elements(eg inadequately maintained A-frames or other storage equipment, incorrectly stored frames, elements stacked the wrong way). These guidelines are for persons conducting a business or undertaking (PCBUs) including designers, manufacturers, suppliers, installers and importers, as well as workers and any Naser, M.Z. The minimum academic requirement for admission to an MEng. A tag line (see Figure 22) is ideal for guiding precast concrete elements during light winds. CWFIS (2018), Canadian wildland fire information system, available at: www.getprepared.gc.ca/cnt/hzd/wldfrs-en.aspx (accessed 30 June 2019). Officers could include, for example, the chief executive or directorof a scaffolding company.

This means they both have to ensure access on-site to first aid equipment, first aid facilities and first aiders. The American standards explicitly state that the slump cone should have a height of 12-in (300 mm), a bottom diameter of 8-in (200 mm) and an upper diameter of 4-in (100 mm). Symbols shall be used in dimensions, leader notes and tabulated data for noting reinforcing bars, structural steel shapes, bolts, welding, lengths, angles, etc. They should work with the crane operator to understand the cranes ability and plan the lift. See these websites for additional information and examples of other rigging arrangements: Note: In the figure below F means face lift. 4, pp. Concrete test cylinders should be stored close to the precast concrete element so that they are kept in exactly the same conditions. Erection documentation should cover every aspect of the erection process. Other engineered systems, such as screw anchors, are available. This might happen in: PCBUs that share no contractual relationship may still share overlapping duties when they work on the same site. See Missouri Standard Plans Drawing 706.35 for details of bar supports. The active fire protection systems such as sprinklers require constant maintenance and water resources as well, both of which may not be feasible in developing countries with limited water resources. Put a safe system of work in place before work starts. Demands Strict Quality Control. This may result in edge spalling and cracking. Short hand notation should not be used with decks that are continuous over both simple and continuous spans. On the other hand, passive fire protection systems refer to the fire protection measures which are built in within the building itself, and do not require any operation by people or automated controls (for example fire ratings of structural and non-structural members or assemblies). why its important to use the control measures, and. Even a balanced load can tip over if it is on uneven ground.
