14.3 Cutting

Site cutting shall be wherever possible by a mechanical process. Where flame

cutting is necessary an allowance shall be left for grinding of ragged edges to

ensure a smooth finish.

14.4 Holing

Holes for bolts shall be drilled. Burning of such holes will not be permitted.

Correction of misaligned holes may be achieved by reaming or, subject to approval

by the Engineer, by filling badly misaligned holes with welded plugs or weld metal,

grinding flush and re-drilling correctly.

14.5 Finishing

Wherever remedial Work has been carried out, the affected area shall be cleaned,

burrs, slag and weld spatter removed and the paintwork made good in accordance

with Standard Specification SKM-STD-C-011, 慡urface Preparation, Painting and

Galvanising of Steelwork?

15.0 GROUTING

15.1 Preparation

Prior to the erection of steelwork, the concrete surface under the base or bearing

plate shall be given a scabble finish. All defective concrete and laitance shall be

removed from the concrete surface to be grouted by chipping or other approved

means. The resulting surface shall be rough and free of oil, grease, dirt and loose

particles. The underside of steelwork to be grouted shall also be clean of all dust,

oil, dirt and loose material prior to erection.

Polystyrene material used for foundation bolt blockouts shall be dissolved using a

product such as d-Limonene or similar approved. All residues shall be removed.

Temporary shims or wedges which are designated to be removed after grout has

hardened shall be coated with a thin coat of grease to facilitate removal.

Prior to beginning grouting, the concrete surface shall be saturated with water for a

minimum of six (6) hours. Just before grouting, all free water shall be removed

from the surfaces, keys and sleeves which are to be grouted.

Grouting procedures shall ensure the placement of grout under the entire surface

of the base or bearing plate avoids any possibility of air pockets or voids by

sufficient compaction.

Grouting procedures shall be submitted for approval by the Engineer prior to the

commencement of any grouting.

15.2 Formwork

Formwork shall be made from materials of adequate strength and shall be securely

anchored and shored to withstand the grout pressure under working conditions.

It shall be sufficiently water tight to prevent leakage and shall be caulked where

necessary.

Adequate clearances shall be provided between formwork and structural

steelwork, to allow the proper placement of the grout.

15.3 Grout

Grout shall be a non-shrink pre-mixed cementitious product of approved, standard

manufacture such as MBT Masterflow 870 or similar Engineer approved. Grout

shall be mixed, placed and cured in accordance with the grout manufacturer抯

instructions. Grout shall be non-staining and shall be suitable for the intended

purpose.

The average compressive strength of the grout at 28 days, standard cured shall

not be less than 70MPa, based on 50mm cubes prepared from grout of the same

consistency at which it was placed.

After initial set of the grout has taken place, the formwork shall be removed and

the excess grout cut away, leaving a full 45 degree chamfer smooth and neatly

finished. The chamfer shall extend from the underside of base plate level to the

top of concrete. All structural steelwork shall be cleaned of all grout on or above

the base plates and any damage to paintwork shall be repaired. Levelling devices

such as shims shall not be removed.

15.4 Curing

Sources of vibration which may cause settlement, bleeding or bond failures shall

be eliminated until the grout has set.

After the grout has sufficiently hardened, the grout shall be damp cured

continuously for a minimum period of three (3) days. Surrounding objects such as

steel base plates, directly in contact with grout, shall be wrapped or covered in

hessian bagging and maintained wet during the entire curing period.

At completion of the wet curing, all exposed grout shall be sealed by the

application of an approved curing compound.

16.0 CLEAN UP

The Work and work-area shall be left clean and tidy on completion and all surplus

materials and equipment removed from the Site.

5.2 Frequency

For bolts, the frequency of hardness and tensile testing shall be one (1) bolt per

1000 per batch. Where smaller batch quantities (less than 1000) are involved, one

(1) unit per batch shall be tested. Where smaller quantities of different grades are

involved (ie Gr A4-50, A4-70 etc), as one (1) unit per grade shall be tested.

Nuts, bolts and washers shall be PMI tested (via Spectrographic Chemical

Analysis) at a frequency of one unit per batch, regardless of the batch size.

5.3 Traceability

All bolts, nuts and washers shall be traceable to batch numbers by a suitable

means of identification such as tagging or colour coding.

5.4 PMI, Hardness and Tensile Testing Requirements

5.4.1 Bolts

Hardness testing shall be conducted on bolts in accordance with AS 1815.1 ?

2002 (Rockwell HRA) and AS 1817.3 ?2003 (Vickers HV10). The test shall be at

the threaded end face of the bolt opposite to the head.

The bolt threaded end face shall be ground flat and three (3) Rockwell (HRA) tests

conducted at the mid-radius position at 120 degree intervals.

Using the same bolt, conduct three (3) Vickers (HV10) tests also at the mid-radius

position at 120 degree intervals between the sites of the Rockwell tests.

The bolt shall then be tensile tested, recording the following data:

?yield (0.2% PS and 0.5% PS);

?tensile strength;

?percentage elongation;

?percentage reduction of area.

The Rockwell and Vickers hardness test results should also be recorded for each

bolt.

5.4.2 Nuts

Nuts shall be subject to PMI and Proof Load testing. Proof load testing shall be

carried out at the same frequencies as bolts (as shown at 5.2).

5.4.3 Washers

Washers shall be subject to PMI testing only.

5.5 Compliance

Using the above method, where the chemical properties or hardness and tensile

values fall outside the specified ranges, the entire batch (from which the sample

came) shall be rejected, physically identified, quarantined, and shall not be used.

5.6 Abstract

Research into the correlation of hardness to tensile values for Austenitic stainless

steels has revealed only limited Rockwell data. Therefore there is a need to better

correlate the Rockwell values and Vickers values against the tensile test results for

each bolt tested. This would allow eventual dropping of tensile testing while the

Vickers or Rockwell testing would continue giving reliable indications of tensile

values.

The intent of this testing regime is to establish accurate, reliable data showing unit

compliance from known suppliers and manufacturers without ongoing high levels

of tensile testing.

Once a level of confidence has been established via these quality control

measures, testing frequencies may be reduced at the Engineer抯 discretion. In the

event of a change in supplier or manufacturer, the above testing regime will be reinstated

until satisfactory results are consistently returned.
