3.5.1 GENERAL Structural steel and miscellaneous steel shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the provisions of American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC), Specifications for Structural Steel Buildings. (AISC 360) and the Seismic Provisions for Structural Steel Buildings, including Supplement No. 1 dated 2005 (AISC 341). 3.5.2 STRUCTURAL STEEL, MISCELLANEOUS STEEL DESIGN STRENGTHS Plates, Shapes & Bars ASTM A 36; Fy = 250 MPa (36 ksi) minimum yield strength Hollow Sections ASTM A 500; Grade B; Fy = 318 MPa (46 ksi) minimum yield strength Standard Bolts ASTM A307 High Strength Bolts ASTM A 325 Anchor bolts ASTM F 1554; Grade 36 steel Welding AWS D1.1 (American Welding Society); E70XX Electrodes unless otherwise specified Non-Shrink Grout ASTM C1107, minimum 35 MPa (5000 psi) compressive strength at 28 days Welding Electrodes E70xx 3.5.3 PRE-ENGINEERED METAL BUILDING (PEB) Steel framing for PEBs shall be designed for all vertical and lateral loads specified herein including dead, live, wind, and seismic loads. PEB foundations, piers, and column anchor bolts shall be designed based on the final reactions from the building manufacturer 3.5.4 STEEL DECK Steel deck units shall conform to SDI Publication Number 31. Panels of maximum possible lengths shall be used to minimize end laps. Deck units shall be fabricated in lengths to span three or more supports with 50 mm minimum bearing at supports. Side laps shall be interlocking or nested and be stitched together as specified per the design documents. Steel deck shall be galvanized and be a profile and thickness as required by the design. 3.5.5 METAL ROOFING PANEL Metal roofing panel sheets shall be continuous from ridge to eave to avoid intermediate roof seams. In lieu of the continuous metal roof sheets, the Contractor may submit a plan for consideration of intermediate roofing seams, including sufficient details specifying how leaks will be prevented. The Contracting Officer must approve the plan prior to the Contractor commencing and installing the work. 3.6 WELDING Field welding shall not be used for any part of the Main Structural Force Resisting System for structures with building occupants. The Main Structural Force Resisting System (MSFRS) is that assemblage of structural elements providing the required support and stability for the overall structure to adequately resist gravity (dead; live, etc.) loads and lateral (wind; seismic, etc.) loads. Bolted connections in lieu of welding are strongly recommended. Exemptions to these guidelines would be minor structural connections such as metal trusses bearing on a reinforced concrete roof and other non-load bearing applications. Such welding shall be performed only by AWS Certified welders. W912DQ-13-R-4034
