Holes f o r f r i c t i o n - g r i p fasteners shall be checked f o r clearance and, a f t e r the parts have been assembled by means o f barrel d r i f t s , the holes shall be checked f o r alignment. Errors i n alignment of a hole i n an inner component shall be corrected by d r i l l i n g or reaming the hole. Lack of alignment of a hole i n an outer component shall be corrected by d r i l l i n g or reaming the hole through the assembled components t o a larger size, and using a b o l t of larger diameter. The diameter of holes f o r f i t t e d bolts or pins shall, subject t o a tolerance of nim, be equal to the nominal diameter of the b o l t or pin. -0 Where practicable, parts t o be connected by f i t t e d bolts or pins s h a l l be t i g h t l y clamped or bolted together and the holes d r i l l e d through a l l the thicknesses i n a single operation and subsequently reamed t o size. Holes not so d r i l l e d shall be sub-drilled o r subpunched t o a diameter at least 2 mm under size and reamed t o f u l l size after assembly or, where t h i s i s not practicable, the parts shall be d r i l l e d and reamed separately through hard bushed steel j i g s . Holes f o r f i t t e d bolts o r pins shall not be f i n a l l y reamed u n t i l welding and other f a b r i c a t i o n procedures are complete. The d e t a i l s of holes f o r holding-down bolts shall be as shown on the drawings. Slotted holes shall be formed by a) d r i l l i n g or, subject t o the provisions of 5.2.4.4 and 5.2.4.5, punching a p a i r of holes and flame-cutting between the holes; o r b) s l o t punching i n the case of material of thickness not exceeding 12 mm . A l l burrs s h a l l be removed from holes before assembly except that, where holes are d r i l l e d i n one operation through assembled parts that w i l l not be separated a f t e r d r i l l i n g , burrs on only the outside surfaces of such assemblies shall be removed. Where a sealed hollow member i s holed f o r a fastener or pin, provision shall be made t o prevent ingress of moisture t o the i n t e r i o r of the member. Joints i n Compression. The abutting surfaces of a j o i n t dependent on contact f o r € F E m m i s s i o n of load shall so b u t t that the areas necessary to transmit the load are i n contact. A bearing face t h a t i s to be grouted d i r e c t t o a foundation need not be machined but such a face shall be true and p a r a l l e l t o the upper face of the foundation. -Str uctural Hollow Sections. Where so required i n the design, the ends of hollow sections may b e - i T X m or otherwise formed, f o r welded, bolted or riveted connections provided that the method employed does not damage or deface the material. The change of shape of a section shall be gradual. Unless special protection against corrosion i s provided by other means, the i n t e r i o r of any hollow member, whether a structural hollow section or a fabricated member, shall be so sealed as t o prevent the ingress of moisture. ASSEMBLY General. The component parts shall be so assembled that V t K w h o l e and a l l parts of t h e f i n i s h e d s t r u c t u r e are within the tolerances spec i f i e d i n Clause 6; b) no member i s bent, twisted or otherwise damaged; and c) specified cambers are obtained. A l i nment of Holes. A l l matching holes f o r fasteners o r f o r pins s h a l l so register E&e#ac h other t h a t the fasteners can be inserted f r e e l y through the assembled members i n a d i r e c t i o n a t r i g h t angles t o the faces i n contact. D r i f t i n g to align holes, other than holes f o r f r i c t i o n - g r i p fasteners (see 5.2.4.8), shall be so done t h a t t h e metal i s not d i s t o r t e d and the holes are not enlarged. Holes that cannot be a1 igned without enlargement shall be cause f o r r e j e c t i o n unless enlargement by reaming i s s p e c i f i c a l l y approved. Lvoidance of Excessive Stresses d u r - Construction. Structures, composite units, a n d ' m K m Z ; i i i b l ies t h a t o @ r i S e component Fa743 shall not be subjected t o excessive stresses during the assembly, f a b r i c a t i o n or erection process. We1 ding. We1 di ng shall be c a r r i e d o u t i n accordance with the re1 evant recommendaE5ns of SABS 044, SABS 0162 and AWS D 1 . l or BS 5135. P a r t i c u l a r attention shall be paid t o the following: a) Welding techniques shall be such as to prevent undue d i s t o r t i o n and minimize shrinkage stresses. b) A l l slag and spatter s h a l l be removed. wo ther than Friction- ri e par s-U6'6TFiiGd3ia11- --eij -fi"rm ly drawn toqether. Grade 4.6 bolts and Grade 8.8 bolts i n shear and bearing type connections shall be tensioned by hand t o the l i m i t of the torque that can be applied by the use of a standard podger spanner. High t e n s i l e b o l t s f o r major tension type or moment type connections and where fatlgue i s a consideration, shall be tightened to a tension of 75 % of the proof load stress of the b o l t . Except i n the case of f i t t e d bolts and unless othet-wi se requi red i n terms of the project specification or s p e c i f i c a l l y ordered, washers need not be used where surfaces are f l a t and flanges untapered, and holes have normal clearances (see 5.2.4). On tapered flanges, tapered washers shall be used to give b o l t heads and nuts a satisfactory bearing. Where holes have greater than normal clearance, washers shall be used under b o l t heads and nuts. The length of each b o l t shall be such that a f t e r the b o l t has been tightened, a t least one thread projects through the nut and a t least one f u l l thread (in addition t o the thread runout) remains clear between the nut and the unthreaded shank.
