Seismic category/importance factor with foreman not verified
Seismic category and importance factor are design/engineering items. Do not use a low-seismic or wrong-project detail because it looks close.
Stop if
- This detail looks like it may be from another project/seismic category. Can we verify the project-specific seismic submittal before I install it?
Watch out
- Do not modify or copy bracing/rigging from another area just because it looks similar.
Check
- Verify the project-specific seismic/restraint submittal or detail.
- Compare hardware, spacing, angle, and attachment to the current project requirement.
- If the detail appears to come from another job or seismic category, stop and escalate before install.
Steps
