Basic Structural Checklist For Building Type S1: Steel Moment Frames /Stiff Diaphragms

Floor and roof framing consists of cast-in-place concrete slabs or metal deck with concrete fill supported on steel beams, open web joists or steel trusses. Lateral forces are resisted by steel moment frames that develop their stiffness through rigid or semi-rigid beam-column connections. When all connections are moment resisting connections the entire frame participates in lateral force resistance. When only selected connections are moment resisting connections, resistance is provided along discrete frame lines. Columns are oriented so that each principal direction of the building has columns resisting forces in strong axis bending. Diaphragms consist of concrete or metal deck with concrete fill and are stiff relative to the frames. When the exterior of the structure is concealed, walls consist of metal panel curtain walls, glazing, brick masonry, or precast concrete panels. When the interior of the structure is finished, frames are concealed by ceilings, partition walls and architectural column furring. Foundations consist of concrete spread footings or deep pile foundations. The Basic Structural Checklist For Building Type S1: Steel Moment Frames /Stiff Diaphragms mobile app allows you to replace your paper structural checklist with a mobile device like a smartphone or tablet. The mobile form includes fields to document items such as date of inspection, structure/ building location, contractor details, records inspection note, and corrective actions and capture's contractor and inspector's signatures. Once the mobile app is filled out a secure PDF is generated. The PDF is easy to share, and a copy is stored in your account for your concrete records. You can also use the App Builder to personalize and customize this mobile form.
