Engineer-Designed connections will be fully designed and detailed

on engineering design drawings, all connections not fully detailed
on the engineering design drawings and shall be furnished as
shown.

b.

Engineer-Designed connections shall be only those connections

fully detailed on the engineering design drawings, showing all
fastener sizes, arrangement, dimensions, quantities and grades, and
all connection material and weld types, sizes and lengths for each
individual member or part to be joined. Seller shall reflect this
information on sho drawings.

c.

Request to deviate from the specific details of any EngineerDesigned connection by the Seler must be in writing, with written
approval of the Engineer. Approval of this submittal constitutes
accepatance by the Engineer of design reponsibility for both the
structural adequacy and detailing of the changed detail.

Seller-Selected Connections
a.

Seller-Selected connections shall be those for which the Engineer

has authority and responsibility for the design adequacy, and the
Seller has authority and responsibility for the detailing.

b.

These Seller-Selected connections are usually simple connections

(shear only). The Seller shall detail these connections by selecting
standard details from the accepted standards listed in Section 2.2
and shall meet allother requirements in the contract documents.

Date : 26/03/2014
Page 13 of 21

The approval by the Engineer of shop drawings detailing SellerSelected connections constitutes acceptance by the Engineer of
design responsibility for the structural adequacy, but not the
detailing, of the approved Seller-Selected connections.

Seller-Designed Connections
a.

Seller-Designed connections shall be designed and detailed by the

Seller to carry all loads shown on the engineering design drawings
or as provided in the contract documents.

b.

The Seller shall have a qualified structural engineer design or

supervise the design of all Seller-Designed connections.

c.

Seller Designed connections shall meet all requirements of the

contract documents. In all cases, design shall consider the entire
joint, including beams,girders, columns, and bracing, and shall take
into account bolt shear, combined bolt tension and shear, prying
action, local bending, block shear, web buckling, etc. seller shall
design and furnish stiffeners for column webs, column flanges and
for elements of other members involved as required.

d.

If transfer forces (axial forces at ends of beams and girders) are

shown on the design drawings, framed beam connections shall be
designed to carry the transfer forces in combination with the
beam end reactions.

e.

Seller shall provide written certification to the Engineer that all

Seller-Designed connections have been designed in accordance
with this procedure, the engineering design drawings and contract
documents, as well as all applicable laws or statues in effect where
he fabricated material is to be erected.

f.

If required by the contract documents or any laws or statues in

effect where the fabricated material is to be erected, the engineer
calculation sheets for Seller-Designed connections and any shop
drawings containing Seller-Designed connections shall be signed
by the engineer who designs or supervises the design of all SellerDesigned connections. These documents shall be submitted to the
Engineer for review.

g.

Review of shop drawings detailing Seller-Designed connections

and engineering calculation sheets by the Engineer does not relieve
the Seller of responsibility for both the design adequacy and
detailing of connections designed by the Seller.
