I've read the 2007 CBC sections 1704, 1705, 1707, 1708 and have yet to find the actual requirement for special inspection of anchor bolts in hardened concrete.
I understand why it is required, just can't find the actual requirement - I feel 1709 Structural Observation would be more appropriate...
I've always been cautious with the per hour charge, that's when I seem to run into problems and my estimate is blown out of the water! But I do ballpark it at $50/hr to check my smaller jobs.
The calc-n-sketch work I do is always checked before I stamp the plans. I'm dealing with the guys who...
I'm just starting out (6mo.) doing residential vertical and lateral analysis. I'm Civil, so just sticking with the 2 story and a basement residential calcs.
Most jobs are basic, 1600 - 5000 sq.ft. homes designed by drafters and architects. I have been told my prices are too high (complaining)...
Thank you Ismfse....at least it's been done before! Well, I think I will redo the detail. It is apparent that placing the chamfer towards the outside is much more confusing (even to structural engineers!!) than it is placing it towards the interior of the slab. I'll stick w/ the typical and...
Exactly, it usually is cast against the ground. However, I understand the top of the footing would be formed with boards leaving an opening at the top of the footing for the slab to rest on (cold joint).
Maybe this will help......

I will try to be a bit more descriptive.
The concern is with the direction of the chamfer between the slab and the footing. Picture a cross-sectional view with the slab sitting on top of the 12" deep, 12" thick exterior wall footing. Some will draw the inside line of the 12" thick footing...
Hello, I have an architect that disagrees with my detail for the exterior footing of the slab. It is detailed as a two pour slab and I have shown the 12" wide, 12" deep footing with the inside top of footing angled at 45 degrees toward the exterior edge instead of the typical 45 degrees toward...
