25
Q

Can you use a DTI as a tension callibrator for preinstallation verification on fastener assemblies that use DTI installation method?

A

Yes, but the verification DTI must be placed on the end opposite of the production DTI

26
Q

During DTI pretensioning, what does the installer do?

A

Checks the job inspection gap

27
Q

What should happen if the splined end of the TC bolt is devered during snug tightening?

A

Remove and replace the fastener assembly

28
Q

Why are bolts in the field installed to a pretension that is less than the preinstallation verification?

A

The higher pretension during pre-installation provides confidence that the field pretension can be met

29
Q

Where does the washer go for DTI pretensioning where the bolt head is turned and the DTI is under the bolt head?

A

Between the bolt head and the DTI

30
Q

If the job inspection gap for DTI pretensioing is 0.015” , then:

A

The DTI must be compressed to the gap less than 0.015

31
Q

Given: the torque value determined from the most recent pre-installation verification for calibrated wrench pretensioning is 650 foot-pounds. How much torque should be applied to the bolts in the field?

A

650 foot-pounds

32
Q

Is a washer required for calibrated wrench pretensioning?

A

Yes, underneath the turned element

33
Q

Matchmarking refers to:

A

Marking a straight line over the nut and bolt to match them together

34
Q

For turn-of-nut pretensioning, if the bolt is 4” long and 1-1/8” in diameter and one face of the bolted ply is sloped at 1:20, then:

A

Do not use beveled washer

35
Q

For DTI pretensioning, if the bolt does not have a washer or DTI, then:

A

The nut is turned

36
Q

When inspecting a joint that uses calibrated wrench pretensioning, would a pretension greater than the required amount be a cause for rejection?

A

No, the bolt is still considered adequate

37
Q

Routine observation means:

A

Periodic monitoring of the work in progress

38
Q

Which pretensioning method probably requires more frequent routine observations?

A

Calibrated wrench because you can’t determine appropriate torque after the bolt is installed

39
Q

If turn of nut pretensioning required a 2/3 nut rotation, how would match marking be used for inspection?

A

By marking the nut and bolt together after snug tightening, then checking the distance between the 2 marks after pretensioning

40
Q

When inspecting a slip-critical joint, it is inspected just like a pretensioned joint, except:

A

Slip critical faying surfaces have additional requirements

41
Q

The inspector must document acceptance or rejection of how many bolted connections in a structure?

A

Each one

42
Q

Special inspection tasks and frequencies are found in which publication

A

AISC 360

43
Q

Who provides the quality control program?

A

The fabricator

44
Q

AISC 341 is the designation for:

A

Seismic Provisions for Structural Steel Buildings

45
Q

Who can perform steelwork without any QA inspection besides non-destructive testing?

A

The fabricator

46
Q

Observing that a fastener assembly of suitable condition is placed in all bolt holes of a joint would be considered:

A

An inspection task during bolting

47
Q

Arbitration torque refers to

A

The torque value used to test bolts in question

48
Q

When a joint with a 1-1/4” ASTM A490 bolts undergoes an arbitration procedure, the representative bolt pretension must reach:

A

102 kips

49
Q

During an arbitration procedure, a representative bolt sample is pretensioned to approximately

A

The minimum value required during pre-installation verification divided by 1.05

50
Q

If the representative bolt samples were correctly pretensioned to 80 kips during arbitration procedure, what is the arbitration torque?

A

The amount of torque required to turn the bolt head or nut an additional 5 degrees

51
Q

The amount of pretension required for a representative bolt during arbitration is equal to:

A

70% of the bolt’s specified minimum tensile strength

52
Q

In an arbitration procedure, 3 is the:

A

Number of bolts averaged to determine the arbitration torque

53
Q

The wrench used in an arbitration procedure must:

A

Be able to indicate torque

54
Q

If a bolt or but head of a join in question is turned during arbitration testing, then:

A

The remaining bolts in the joint must be tested.

55
Q

Shop drawings shall be prepared:

A

In advance of fabrication

56
Q

Unidentified steel is permitted to be used only for members when ____ and ____

A

Their failure will not reduce the strength of the structure, Approved by the engineer

57
Q

At what point should column base plates be grouted?

A

After the structural steel frame is plumbed

58
Q

When should column anchor rods be shipped to the project site?

A

When needed for anchorage

59
Q

For existing structures, which of the following is not within the erector’s scope of work?
