6.3—Ordering procedures When the placing drawings have been approved, prepara-
tion of shop orders is greatly simplified by using the data al-
ready generated for the label list or column or beam and slab
schedule and bending details. All the detailer must indicate
are the labels or the portions thereof that are to be ordered
from a particular drawing, and the data processing equip-
ment weighs and sorts and lists the material by grade, tag
color, type of bending, and size and length in descending or-
der on the bar list. The equipment can also produce the ship-
ping tags and all manifest documents.
CHAPTER 7—RECOMMENDED PRACTICES FOR LOCATION OF BARS DESIGNATED ONLY BY SIZE/SPACING Especially in slabs and walls designed for a given area of
reinforcing steel per running foot, required reinforcement
commonly is designated by size and spacing combinations to
the nearest 1/2 in. (10 mm) for spacing. If the structural
drawing specifically shows the positions of the first bar per
panel, or for a given length shows the total number of bars,
no problem is created—the detailer simply follows the spe-
cific requirements. Therefore, design notes, such as 20-No. 4
(20-No. 13) in a designated length, or No. 4 at 12 (No. 13 at
300 mm) with location of the starting bar shown, requires no
further interpretation to complete a placing drawing or to
calculate total number of bars required. When the structural
drawing shows No. 4 at 12 (No. 13 at 300 mm) with no fur-
ther instructions in the general notes or in the project speci-
fications, the procedures shown in
Fig. 19
(in Part C) are
recommended.
CHAPTER 8—GLOSSARY Architect/engineer—The architect, engineer, architectur-
al firm, engineering firm, or architectural and engineering
firm, issuing project drawings and specifications, or admin-
istering work under the contract documents.
