I really appreciate you taking the time to explain that makes more sense now for sure. Final out come is we are splicing the post . Wether he is proving a point, being overly cautious, or simply doesn't know/care is not for me to sit and ponder . It's already cut and splice in...
I would never expect that. Everything will work out I'm not worried about that , I really think you guys are missing my point here . I just couldn't understand and my math wasn't even close to theirs so I was just looking for outside information so I knew if I was way off base or not and if so...
If I'm leaving anything out it's not intentional. The only thing I can think of is that my foundation company and the training engineer got into a pretty heated argument because he asked for us to pull the rebar out and cut off a 1/4 " in 3 spots before he would sign off on the pour . I made my...
You mind friend are the definition of what's wrong in this industry, I was asking a simple question to learn something for my own benefit because I like to learn from these situations. Not to piss and moan to the EOR to try and get out of doing something. If you bothered to read any of my...
Yeah I totally understand and in this day in age everyone is trying to cover their ass. And no we wouldn't add too, we would have to just re pour but if we can't come an agreement I'll just splice it , not worth argument, I just wanted to learn for my benefit because I have never encountered...
I've always had the mindset of why cut something if you don't have to, this is the first time it has cost me , so not doing to bad. But thanks for all the responses and less anyone think other wise we always compensate our engineers for any time not planned in original bid and don't charge the...
Well their office was locked down and on quarantine and nobody responded to emails for 3 days before I made the decision to start framing we were behind due to weather the last few months in Colorado as it was and this needed to go in to start the rest of framing and in my mindset it was a no...
I was just trying to figure out if I was out of my mind for thinking that was way over kill regardless if he's trying to do it just to prove a point because we changed the design. Which is understandable because he drew it a certain way and we changed it
Yes sorry I have both my boys and was trying to voice text this and just confused everything. The beam is 50' , 3 post, 3 footings ,specd at 24*24, poured at 34*34
All post were designed at 24*24 . Spliced in the middle continuous over the others. My foundation guy pays for the concrete overage , he makes things bigger just to be safe. If there are any cost that the engineer I cover them. But that's none of the concern my point was why 34*34 wouldn't be...
I apologize if we got into the weeds . I will post the drawings shortly . The pad was originally requested at 24"*24" . My foundation guy always makes everything a little bigger which for the most part I've always been ok with. The main structural beam of the home was designed with 3 post and a...
Also I have 6 major projects going on 2 with major steel work and haven't had 1 issue with any of the engineers, actually they have said they enjoy coming to our jobs because they don't have to worry about stupidity . This is our second job with this engineering firm and it will be our last . I...
Thanks guys if I could actually get the EOR I think I would be fine, he's a real good guy, but he always send a student out there who has a chip on his shoulder trying to prove how smart he is and gives is a hard time for being 1/8th long on rebar.. We will just cut and splice it no big deal...
hello guys , this may be a dumb question but I'm going to ask anyway. The engineer of record on a house I'm building wanted a steel beam spliced on middle post with a concrete pad of 24x24" . I built it with a 34x34 concrete pad and just left the post solid because it came that way and seames to...
