1.5 “CONSTRUCTION TOLERANCE REQUIREMENTS
The General Contractor is responsible for constructing the building
within tolerance. The tolerance of the structural frame ‘shall be in
accordance with the following industry standards, except where more
stringent. requirements are specifically noted in this section:
1. american Concrete Institute: ACI 117 ~ Standard Specification
for Tolerances for Conerete
2. American Institute 6f Steel Construction: Code of Standard
Practice for Steel Buildings and Bridges
B. Methods Description Narrative: The General Contractor shall prepare a
Methods bescription Narrative that shall addzess the following topics:
1, Survey procedures to moniter column and core wall shortening
a, The splice elevations of the steel columns shall be
surveyed at every tier. The steel columns shall be
fabricated 1/16 inches over-length per floor to account for
expected shortening unlese directed otherwise by the
Structural Engineer, This amount is based on experience
with similar sized projects and may be further refined once
the General Contractor has created a construction schedule.
Refer to Structural General Notes
Concrete columns shall be placed to the reference
elevations at each level tinless otherwise noted in the
structural drawings. Concrete columns shall be surveyed
every four floors.
c. The core wall elevations shall be surveyed at each wall
intersection every eight floors. The core walls shall be
placed to the reference elevation at each level unless
noted otherwise in the structural drawings.
All survey data shall be submitted within 24 hours. The
data will be reviewed by the Architect and Structural
Engineer.” Recommendations for corrective measures will. be
provided where appropriate. the contractor shall
immediately employ corrective measures or provide alternate
suggestions for corrective measures. Contractor shall
include the cost of any corrective measures in the base
bid.
2. Survey procedures to monitor the drift and alignneat of the
structural frame.
3. Survey procedures to monitor deflection of composite fleors. the
General Contractor shall survey the deflection of the first
instance of each typical level at a minimum to moniter the
deflection of the floor. Survey elevations shall be taken of the
bottom flange of every beam and girder at each efid and at
quarter-points along the span. Survey shall be performed twice;
once after steel is erected and again within 24 hours after the
concrete slab is placed.

4, Survey procedures to monitor deflection of concrete floors. The
General Contractor’ shall survey the deflection of the first
instance of each typical level at a minimum to monitor the
deflection of the floor. Survey elevations shall be taken at
approximately 12 locations on these floors. survey shall be
performed of the top of formwork elevations prior to concrete
placement, and of the top of slab elevations within 24 hours
after the fornwork is removed. Locations shall be mutually
agreed upon by the Contractor and the Structural Engineer.
5. Shop fabrication methedology for adjustment of column length to
account for column shortening, if necessary.
6. Executive sunmary of steel erection and fabrication quality
control plans as related to construction tolerance
7. Executive summary of concrete column and core wall quality
control plan as related to construction tolerance and
expected/historical concrete mix shrinkage properties. for the
mixes proposed to be used. The Contractor shall also coordinate
' with any required concrete mix shrinkage properties that are
indicated on the drawings or in the specifications.
8. Description of fabrication and installation procedures for steel
deck edge forms.
¢. Vertical Alignment.’ The following tolerance limits shall apply to all
vertical members such as walls and columns.
1.’ Pigure 1 illustrates the tolerance for vertical alignment of
columns and walls.
2. For vertical elements next to elevator openings: In addition to
the tolerance limits shown in Figure. 1, the reduction in the
clear elevator hoistway dimension shall be limited to 2 inches
total. See Figure 2,
D. Horizontal Alignment. The following tolerance Limits shall apply to
horizontal alignment (i.e., plan location) of horizontal elements of
the structural frane such as elab edges, beams, and girders.
1. ‘The variation in the horizontal alignment of thé work points of a
steel beam shall be acceptable if caused solely by variations in
steel Columa or concrete core wall alignment that are within the
Limits of Paragraph 1.5C, See Figure 3 - section at Slab Edge.
2. Edge forms for composite slabs shall be field installed to 2
tolerance of +/- 1 inch from the established building work lines.
See Figure 3 - Section at Slab Edce
3. Slab edge position tolerance of formed concrete slabs shall be in
accordance with ACI 117.
4. The maximum offset in slab edge location between adjacent floors
shall be 4/- 3/8 inches. See Figure 3 - offset Between Floors
B, Steel Elements Embedded in Concrete. The following tolerance limits
shall apply to the placement of steel elements of the structure
‘embedded into concrete

ORTIGAS, MANILA, PHILIPPINES SECTION 01 71 00
Weld plates or angles embedded into the concrete may be oversized
at contractor's option. Placement tolerance of embedded items
shall be of +/- 1 inch for both vertical and horizontal
alignment.
2, In-and-out tolerance for enbedded plates shall be 1/8 inch out of
the concrete and 1/4 inch into the concrete (recess)
F, Steel Framing supporting Precast Seating Risere/fascia:
1. | Fabricated Precast Support Seats shall be installed on raker
beams within 1/8" in plan location and elevation.
2. Maximum permissible fabrication tolerances in raker heam and.
truss framing are as follows:
a. . Bean/truss Height: +/- 1/8”
b. Camber: _+1/2" and -0" from specified canber
3. Maximum permissible erection tolerances for elevation in raker
beam and truss framing are +3/16” and -5/16”.
G. Teusse:
1. Permissible variation of length of fabricated portion of trusses
between supports shall not exceed +/-1/8”
2. Permissible variation of height of fabricated trusses shall not
exceed +/-1/8".
3, Camber: Permissible variation shall not exceed +1/2" or -0” from
specified camber.
4. Sweep for fabricated portions of trusses between supports,
measured relative to a straight line between supports, shall not
exceed 0.10 percent of the truss length. Sweep for fabricated
cantilevered sections of trusses, measured relative to a straight
Line between the support and the tip of the cantilever, shall not
exceed 0.10 percent of the length of the cantilever.
5. Straightness: Permissible variation not to exceed 0.20 percent
of the length
6. Twist of fabricated portions shall not exceed 0.10 degrees in 40
feet.
H, Cross-Sectional Dimensions of Concrete Elements. The following
tolerance limits shall apply to the thickness of concrete elements such
a5 walls, beams, and slabs.
