used where avoidable. All mitred corners shall be ground after shop welding. Joints
and intersections shall be accurately made, in true planes, with adequate fastenings.
Bolted work shall be screwed up tight and threads nicked to prevent loosening,
except those miscellaneous metal items to be removable or portable, and shall have
lock or split washers. Joints exposed to weather shall be watertight.
