Section 3: Sheet Checklist
Anchor: #i1003099Plan View
Accurate, measurable detail, with exceptions to enhance clarity
Locate the control
line (matching the terminology on the layout, such as reference
line, centerline, or profile grade line).
- Control dimensions shall be referenced
to a working point (usually the intersection of the control line
and face of backwall).
- Centerline of bearing located and dimensioned
(normally 8 1/2", measured perpendicular to the face of the backwall)
- Beam lines located and dimensioned
along the face of backwall
- Shaft or pile groups located and dimensioned
along the centerline of foundations (normally at face of backwall
at centerline of the cap). In addition to all other dimensions
shown on the plan view, give a dimension from survey line (centerline,
baseline, profile grade line, etc.) to the centerline of the nearest
drilled shaft or pile group.
- Overall length of cap dimensioned along
the centerline of the cap, including cap offset dimensions for skewed
structures (If over 15° skew, dimension to the point of cap breakback.)
- Cap and backwall thickness dimensions
- Working point dimensioned in relation
to overall length of cap
- Wingwalls dimensioned along the centerline
of the cap of a founded wing or along the centerline of a cantilevered
wing
- Wingwall foundations, if applicable,
located and dimensioned from the outside cap foundations
- Typical bearing seat, dimensioned,
labeled, and, if present, dowels D labeled and located (See Section
11 - Bearing Seat Details for information about when to use.)
- Outside beam lines identified with
beam number
- Skew angles
- Breakbacks, if present, dimensioned
along the face of the backwall
Elevation View
Accurate, measurable detail, with exceptions to enhance clarity
- Label slopes
along top of backwall and cap (slopes need not be accurately shown
unless the slope is abnormally large).
- Foundations need not be detailed beyond
location unless special foundation designs are used.
- Stirrups detailed and dimensioned from
foundations
- Location of required construction joints
(do not detail bar laps at joints unless staged construction is
used). Construction joint required for over 80' (plus/minus), or
as directed by the engineer, between outside cap piers.
- Cap bars A detailed
- Backwall bars H and V detailed and
dimensioned
- Bars L (and U, if present) positioned
properly and in conformation with positioning in wingwall elevation
view and in corner details
- Approach slab or armor joint cutout
detailed and dimensioned
- Identify main section location.
Main Section (“Section A-A”)
Accurate, measurable details, with exceptions to enhance clarity
- Vertical cap
and backwall section dimensioned at centerline of bearing
- Vertical bearing buildup, bearing pad,
and cap dimensions shown normal
- Horizontal dimensions shown normal
- Reinforcing cover
- Locate construction joints
Wingwall Details (“Elevation” and “Section B-B”)
Accurate, measurable details, with exceptions to enhance clarity
- Vertical wall
height above cap dimensioned at centerline of bearing
- Horizontal wall dimensions shown normal
- Critical reinforcing dimensions and
covers shown
- Bars L and U positioned in conformation
with main elevation view and with corner details
- Locate construction joints.
- Identify wing section location
Corner Details (“Cap” and “Backwall” Plans)
Accurate, measurable details, with exceptions to enhance clarity
- Skew properly
shown
- Reinforcing positioned in conformation
with cap and backwall
- Critical reinforcing dimensions and
covers shown
- Bars L and U positioned in conformation
with main elevation view and with wingwall details
Other Details
Accurate, measurable details, with exceptions to enhance clarity
- Bar details
- Bearing seat detail
- Joint details, if applicable
- Table of estimated quantities
- General notes (including, but not limited
to, design criteria, loading, class of concrete, foundation loads,
and cross references to various standard sheets)
- Title block, information block, and
engineer’s seal
Final Checks
- Check all details
and dimensions against superstructure to ensure the details are
not in conflict.
- Double check bars in various details
against the number of bars shown in estimated quantities table.
- Ensure that the name of the bridge
is the same on all detail sheets.
- Initial the sheet after back-checking
corrected details.
