protect these from damage during the entire construction period.

Fabrications
a. Fabrication and assembly shall be done in the shop to the greatest extent
possible. All materials shall be cleaned and straight. If straightening or
flattening is necessary, it shall be done by a process and in a manner that
will not damage the materials.
b. Shearing, flame cutting shall be done carefully and accurately. Flame-cut
edges of members shall have all nicks removed. Holes shall not be
enlarged by flame-cut. Gas cutting shall be done by the use of a

standards of American Welding Society AWD Code D.1. Welding works
shall only be performed by certified welders.
d. Bolted connections: Holes for bolts shall be 1.5mm larger than the
nominal diameter of the bolt. Holes shall be cleaned cut without torn or
rugged edged. Bolt holes shall be at right angles to the member. Bolted
parts shall fit solidly together when assembled and shall not be separated
by gaskets or any other interposed compressible materials. Contact
surfaces within frictions type joints shall be from oil or paint.
e. Match markings. Members and component parts of structure shall be
matched marked to ensure accurate assembly and erection.
f. All structural steel work shall be painted, 01 coat rust converter and 02
