Hawkaz- I take offense, I've never delegated the connections. Why should someone else have the fun, and those are MY connections! But having been a specialty engineer a few times on connection design, it is done in Florida some, I don't know the percentage. It can be a pain if the EOR does not give you all of the info you need, and for simple shear connections I think it is lazy- just provide a connection schedule and detail the few unique ones.
Great thread though.
End of the day, its your project in the minds of a lay person (mediator, judge,jury). If we don't all 100% agree on the subject, and its not clear to us, imagine them!!
