We had a meeting with the Engineer today. The only problem was that the Structural Engineer was not available. We have sent in several RFI's and are hoping to meet with the Structural Engineer on Wednesday now.
Hokie66,
You are correct. That is the thread I was reading prior to starting this one. I must have added the wrong thread as I meant to add the one that Splitrings referenced. Thanks for the correct reference.
Thanks Plitrings. I referenced that thread when I started this thread. That thread was no longer available to post, and I thought this detail was unique.
Dik,
Thanks for the comment on my other thread. I wanted to see what some others had to say about it. The other side of this is that the diagonal bar cannot be bent as shown in the detail. The way the bar can be bent would extend the bar to the outside face (as suggested by BA). We are...

Please see the attached standard detail for corners and intersections. Depending on the location the corners will be exposed to lateral on either the inside face, outside face, or both. This is not a typical detail that I have seen before. The Engineer provided a new detail...
I believe that the Engineer of Record subbed out the structural design for the BAF to AECOM. I usually call the structural Engineer at AECOM when I have queations on that portion of the contract. I think that RKK will be designing the rest of the structure.
That would be even better if they would eliminate some of the expansion/contraction joints. Each slab is around 138 cy. It would be nice to get rid of a few of the joints. I think this is very unlikely to happen at this point. One of the Engineer's made a comment that the structure was...
The Engineer issued a new corner detail early in the project. The outside face bars have no hook, the inside face bars extend to the outside face and hook, and there is a corner bar on the outside face. I am just looking for some good references to read up on. We feel that we just bring the...
The other issue with the key is the location that the waterstop fabrication will be located to tie into the walls. The expansions and contraction continue throught the walls, and with the wall key only about 4" the center of the waterstop fab coming from the slab and from the wall are about...
Thanks Jed. We have the 2010 Manual of Concrete Practice 6 volume set. I had to beg for them to get the hard copy for the job. I wish I had the electronic edition to expedite searching. If you you find something it would be much appreciated.
One of the very first RFI's I asked was if it would be acceptable to use a tapered joint for all keys. The engineer approved are request to use tapered joints. I have attached the approved detail with tapered...
It is a true "contraction joint" with no rebar passing through. I have attached the standard details. We are concerned about leakage also. Each filter has to be tested in accordance with ACI 350.1 HST-100. We are planning to discuss less stringent test requirements with the Engineer...
I work for a Gerneral Contractor that is currently building a denitrification building. There will be 35 filters 11.67' wide x 102' wide. The wier wall is 15.17 high. There are 17 filters on each side of the building. There are 36 filter slabs for 17 filters. All but 4 slabs are...
