Foreword
The internationally recognized framework known as Masterformat released by the Construction
Specifications Institute (CSI) has been adopted in order to organize the sorting and numbering in the new
edition of the specifications in a manner that insures the easy flow and exchange of information among
specialists and the community of the building industry at large. The new edition involves 12 main
divisions. These divisions are:
Division 01:
General Requirements
Division 02:
Site work
Division 03:
Concrete
Division 04:
Masonry
Division 05:
Metals
Division 06:
Wood and Plastics
Division 07:
Thermal and Moisture Protection
Division 08:
Doors and Windows
Division 09:
Finishes
Division 14:
Conveying Systems
Division 15:
Mechanical
Division 16:
Electrical
Each Division comprises a number of related Sections. For example: Division 08 includes eight sections.
They are:
08100
Doors and Frames
08200
Wooden and Plastic Doors
08300
Special Doors
08400
Entrances and Storefronts
08500
Metal Windows
08600
Wooden and Plastic Windows
08700
Hardware
08800
Glazing
Further, each Section incorporates seven Parts as follows:

Part 1:
General: This is mainly concerned with the references, quality control, submittals, programs,
and maintenance.
Part 2:
Products: This gives a breakdown of material used in addition to their properties and place of
installation.

Part 3:
Execution: The most significant items in this Part are the execution and installation of the
works, field quality control, as well as cleaning and protection methods.
Part 4:
Methods of Measurement: This indicates the measurement units and the measuring methods
that shall be used for the Bills of Quantities.
Part 5:
Basis of Payment: This indicates the work that shall be completed for each item of the Bills of
Quantities. It also indicates the ancillary works to be included in the unit rate.
Part 6:

Part 1: General
Two cases shall be considered:
a) The Contractor may be given a performance specification and the architectural design. The structural
analysis, structural design, and all necessary drawings shall be provided by the Contractor.
b) The Contractor may be given full structural analysis, structural design, and full design drawings. The
Contractor will then be required to check all contract documents and provide only shop drawings and any
necessary field erection drawings.

The method of erection, drawings of temporary work, and the erection equipment shall be subject to
approval by the Engineer but such approval shall not relieve the Contractor from any responsibility. All
temporary work shall be properly designed and substantially constructed for the loads, which it will be
called upon to support.
The Engineer shall have full liberty at all reasonable times to enter the Contractors premises for the
purpose of inspecting the work.
During the entire progress of the work the Contractor shall have competent foremen or superintendents in

Setting Bases and Bearing Plates
Clean concrete and masonry bearing surfaces of bond-reducing materials and roughen to improve bond
to surfaces. Clean bottom surfaces of base and bearing plate. Set loose and attached base plates and
bearing plates for structural members on wedges or other adjusting devices. Tighten anchor bolts after
supported members have been positioned and plumbed. Do not remove wedges or shims, but if
protruding, cut off flush with edges of base or bearing plate prior to packing with grout. Pack grout solidly
between bearing surfaces and bases or plates to ensure that no voids remain. Finish exposed surfaces,
protect installed materials, and allow to cure. For proprietary grout materials, comply with manufacturers
instructions.
3 03 06
Assembly / Erection
Set structural frames accurately to lines and elevations indicated in erection drawings.
Align and adjust various members forming part of complete frame or structure before permanently

permitted only on secondary members that are not under stress, as approved by the Engineer. Finish
gas-cut sections equal to a sheared appearance when permitted.
3 03 10
Welding
Any shop paint on surfaces adjacent to joints to be site-welded shall be wire brushed to eliminate the
paint film prior to welding.
Field welding of attachments to installed embedments in contact with concrete shall be done in such a
manner as to avoid excessive thermal expansion of the embedment which could result in spalling or
cracking of the concrete or excessive stress in the embedment anchors.
3 03 11
Fit of Column Compression joints

Erection Tolerance
The Contractor is responsible for the correct fitting of all structural members and for the elevation and
alignment of the finished structure, also for any adjustments necessary in the steelwork because of
discrepancies in elevations and alignment.
All leveling and plumbing shall be based on the mean operating temperature of the structure.
Allowances shall be made for the differences in the temperature at the time of erection and the mean
temperature expected in service.
All measurements relating to the above shall be on the theoretical center line of the members.
The structure shall be leveled and plumbed to accuracy values given in the relevant standards and design
provisions. The actual center lines of members shall not vary from theoretical center lines by more than
values permitted.

Place joists on supporting work, adjust and align in accurate locations and spacing before permanently
fastening.
Provide temporary bridging, connections, and anchor to ensure lateral stability during construction. Where
open-web joists lengths are 12 meters and longer, install a center row of bolted bridging to provide
lateral stability before slackening of hoisting lines unless otherwise indicated in the drawings.
Install bridging simultaneously with joist erection, before construction loads are applied. Anchor ends of
bridging lines at top and bottom chords where terminating at walls or beams.
Install field weld joists to support steel framework and steel bearing plates where indicated. Coordinate
welding sequence and procedure with placing of joists.

Technical Terms
Austenitic stainless steel - stable at temperatures above 800 deg C
Brass - an alloy of copper and zinc, containing between 5 and 40 %
zinc
Bronze - basically an alloy of copper and tin, additional elements may
be added for specific properties
Cast iron - cast iron is an alloy of mainly iron, carbon and silicon. The
carbon contents are usually between 2,5 and 4 %.
Electroplating - the electrodeposition of an adherent metallic coating
upon an electrode for the purpose of securing a surface with properties
or dimensions different from those of the basis metal
Ferritic stainless steel - stable at temperatures up to about 800 deg C;
the most resistant and generally used in building contains about 17 %
chromium
Martensitic stainless steel - ferritic steel with a higher carbon content,
which has been rapidly cooled from above a critical temperature and so
becomes very hard, yet has a low corrosion resistance
Stainless steel - generally there are three different types of stainless
steels: martensitic, ferritic and austenitic; the last one is mostly used for
architectural and engineering purposes; a standard quality contains 18
% chromium and 8 % nickel (known as 18-8); the higher quality
contains 18 % chromium, 10 % nickel and 3 % molybdenum (known as
18-10-3)
Steel - a material with iron as the predominant element, having a
carbon content generally less than 2 % and containing other elements.
A limited number of chromium steels may have more than 2 % carbon,
but 2 % is the usual dividing line between steel and cast iron.

Annex: Specific Information

7 01 Zinc-Coating
Electrolytic zinc-coating for steel sheets is applied in thickness from 1 to 15
micrometer (ISO 5002). This type of corrosion protection is not intended for outdoor
use without additional treatment.
Continuous hot-dip galvanized coating for steel sheet (ISO 3575) is measured in g/m2.
Coating designations are as follows: 100/180/275/350/450/600/700. Designation 100
means 100 g/m2 coating mass.
100 = G33 (American standard designation)

180 = G60
"
275 = G90
"
Requirements for hot-dip galvanized coating for fabricated ferrous products acc. to
ISO 1461 are:
Coating mass: min. 450 g/m2 for steel > 5 mm
"
min. 300 g/m2 for steel < 1 mm
"
for steel > 1 < 5 mm: no requirement in Standard, needs to be
fixed individually.
