Required by: Ara Baghdasarians RFI No. 076 Date: 12/12/16 Answered: REFERENCE: Drawing(s) - Specification(s) Page(s) CONTRACTOR S REQUEST: As the installed anchor bolts on grid line 2 ( Between gridlines B-E ) are +/- 1" lower than proposed elevation so It will not be enough threads out for anchor bolts after installing the washers and nuts. Same situation for few other base plate's anchors on different locations which It will not be enough threads out after installing the washer and nut. ( Please Advice ) Based on this also the 2" indicated non-shrink grout underneath the base plate will be 3". ( PLease confirm ) **See attached pictures** PROPOSED SOLUTIS: As the material of steel is same for both achor bolts and base plates so it is suggested to eliminates the nut and just use the 1" washer plate including the weld all around the washer and on top of it.

The CCD#0 addresses the grout and anchor bolt issues, but additional documentation for clarity has been provided as noted below. Testing shall be coordinated with the project Testing Lab and in keeping with Section #4 of DSA IR 17-8 (issued by DSA on 01-12-11). Below is from email of 12/23/2016, from Brad Brewer, NAC RFI#76: Low anchor bolts and grouting and shear lug o Chalmers confirmed that they will utilize we will use Sika 328 for locations that the grout thickness is more than 2 o Chalmers confirmed the coupler nut solution is preferred, and steel fabricator provided recommendation of coupler model number. Please confirm coupler meets ATSM parameters set in the DSA Approved CCD#0 (cut sheet documents for coupler provided by Chalmers are included in RFI#076 reference materials of response) o Chalmers confirmed that the Steel Fabricator has enough tolerance, in keeping with the Contract Documents, to account for anchor bolts that are 1/8 short.

After we sent you previous email, I talked to steel sub and he told me that he has enough tolerance to adjust the 1/8. So top of nut will be flush with anchor. Three steel plates on Grid line 2 are the ones that needed to be fix.

Hex and heavy hex couplers are threaded right hand. If a right hand-left hand coupler is needed, consider using a sleeve nut. Related Products Sleeve Nuts Turnbuckles Washers See our nut compatibility chart to determine the compatible hex coupler for a specific grade of bolt. Since hot-dip galvanizing typically adds 2.2 to 5 mils of thickness to the threaded portion of a fastener, galvanized couplers are tapped oversize to compensate for the corrosion resistant coating on the bolts.
