Gold Country Village "Bennett Street Senior Housing", Structural Design Group, 4-15-2014 revision

0855 C. Johnson arrived on-site as requested by John Smith to observe the reinforcing steel placed at the retaining wall footing located at thesouth east side of the site running north and south between the upper and lower sections of building #2. This section included the step footing at thesouth end that started with the wall to be 8’, then step to 10’ and finally to 12’. Mike Neufeld pointed out where the wall would transition from 8’ to 10’to 12’ in height as the plan was pretty vague where the transitions were. The revised retaining wall detail 5/S3.2 was used to observe the steel. Thefollowing discrepancies were noted. The “D” bars were observed to be installed the wrong direction and there were a few locations where the properclear distance between the steel and the exposed earth were not sufficient. These were pointed out to Mike Neufeld as well as Jim the foreman withJWA. Jim stated that they would take care of this and requested that C. Johnson check the corrections made prior to the placement of concrete at1300 today.

1300 C. Johnson observed the corrections made to the reinforcing steel at the retaining wall. The steel appeared to be per the revised detail5/S3.2 provided by Chris Smith. C. Johnson was then requested to observe the reinforcing steel at the retaining wall footing located at the south westside of the site. This section of wall was located at the entrance to the future Union Jack Street on the east side. The wall was to be a maximum 4’ 7”in height and was approximately 50’ long. The footing and reinforcing steel appeared to be in general conformance with the detail with nodiscrepancies noted.

1313 The first truck arrived on-site and the placement of concrete began shortly after at the wall between the two sections of building 2. Thecontractor was observed using a mechanical vibrator to consolidate the concrete after placement.

1339 A composite sample (020415A) was collected during the middle third of the load from the trucks discharge and cylinders were cast forcompressive strength testing.

1430 When C. Johnson returned for continued observation after sampling, it was observed that part of the forms at the south end of the 12’ sectionhad broken during placement and the contractor was in the process of trying to repair the form and realign the reinforcing steel. This was provingdifficult as there was already concrete deposited over the steel. The crew started to place concrete at the footing at Union Jack Street while the formswere being repaired.

1515 The form had been fixed and the placement resumed at the 12’ CMU wall footing section. C. Johnson was unable to confirm if all the steelwas brought back to its original location as the concrete was covering it. C. Johnson informed the contractor that they had reached the 90 minute timelimit for the concrete on-site. The contractor elected to continue with placement.

1530 C. Johnson had to depart the site. John Smith was briefed on the observations made. The cylinders were stowed in a cure box and will becollected tomorrow and taken to the H&K lab.

Franklin Costello was contacted and he provided a summary of the work in progress andplanned. It was indicated they had two connections with complete penetration welds completed and one in the process of cooling off for ultrasonic testing to be performed at. Franklin also indicated the two connections unfinished during the last visit at the top had been UT’ed previously by others.

The column to baseplate CJP;s were evaluated at 3 grid locations with no exceptions noted during ultrasonic testing of the weldedconnections completed in accordance with AWS D1.1.

Tim was contacted and verbally provided a summary of the testing performed and the results of such testing. No further services were scheduled at this time; arrangements were made for Tim to contact Structure Materials Group when additional services are requested.

7:45 JHA arrived on-site at the request of Elizabeth Clarke to provide special inspection during the fabrication of structural steel for the project known as the Korean Church San Lorenzo. Ray with Valley Iron Works was contacted and the work in progress and planneddiscussed. Ray indicated they had continued this morning with the welding of the Complete Penetration Joint (CJP) welds and plannedto continue throughout the day. Currently three welders are working on fitting up and welding the CJP welds.

The welders performing the work were contacted and the weld connections in progress briefly discussed.

The fit up of the welded connections and welding of the connections was observed during the fabrication process with no exceptionsnoted. Multiple CJP welds were evaluated using ultrasonic testing procedures with no exceptions noted.

The contractor completed the welding of the remaining CJP welds today. The welded connections were evaluated using ultrasonic testing once they cool to ambient temperature.

Ray was contacted and he indicated they would continue to weld the connection plates and buckets. Arrangements were made for Rayto contact Structural Materials Group when the welding of the single pass fillet welds was complete.
