SOLUTIONS RATED A+
✔✔Welding of stairs and railing systems - ✔✔may be inspected on a periodic basis
✔✔The special inspector shall perform an inspection of the steel frame to verify proper
construction of - ✔✔bracing, stiffening, and joint details
✔✔For bolted connections, the special inspector must check - ✔✔the material( bolts,
washers, paint), the connected parts( holes, faying surfaces) and the installation and
tightening procedures
✔✔For pretensioned bolted joints, the Special inspector must - ✔✔determine that all
plies of connected materials have been drawn together and properly snugged, and
monitor the installation of the bolts to verify that the selected procedure is being properly
used to tighten the bolts
✔✔Periodic monitoring of bolt installation for pretensioned bolt is permitted - ✔✔if the
match-marked turnoff nut method is used, if the twist off bolt method is used and if the
direct tension indicator is used
✔✔Continuous monitoring of bolt installation of pretensioned joints is required - ✔✔if
the turn of method is used without match-marking, and if the calibrated wrench method
is used
✔✔Special inspections for seismic resistance of structural steel shall be in accordance
with: - ✔✔the quality assurance provisions of AISC 341

assurance provisions of AISC 360
✔✔The purpose of the special inspection is to: - ✔✔monitor materials and workmanship
critical to the integrity of the building structure, review work of the contractors to ensure

contractor and written up as a report if not corrected
✔✔A nonconformance report should include - ✔✔a description and exact location of the
nonconformance, a reference to the applicable detail in the approved
, plans/specifications, and the name and title of each individual notified, and the method
of notification
✔✔When should the special inspection report be completed - ✔✔after each inspection
visit
✔✔How much time is the contractor supposed to provide to the special inspector
requesting an inspection - ✔✔only adequate notice is required

any other - ✔✔Wind
✔✔What is the most common reason for loss from high wind - ✔✔inadequate attention
to wind-critical details during design, construction and inspection
✔✔What is a seismic force resisting system - ✔✔system or section of a structural frame
of a building specifically designed to resist the lateral(side to side) motion of an
earthquake
✔✔Braces and ties for lighting systems and sprinkler lines suspended from ceilings are
examples of; - ✔✔designated seismic systems
✔✔Structural observation is defined as - ✔✔visual observation of the structural system
by a registered Design Professional for the general conformance to the approved
construction documents
✔✔Preheating to at least 150 degrees prior to the thermal cutting of weld access holes
is required for members of what size? - ✔✔hot rolled shapes with flange thickness
exceeding 2 inches and welded built up members with a thickness exceeding 2 inches
✔✔When heat straightening or heat cambering A572 Grade 65 steel, the temperature of
the steel shall not exceed - ✔✔1,200 degrees F
