SN Description YES NO NA Remakrs

1.0 The review comments have been incorporated in preceding
stages of design.
2.0 The design calculations are consistent with the geometry of the
final plans.
Insure that the design calculations are self explanatory and the
results are clearly shown. Both must be readily understandable to
3.0 the reviewer. Do not omit steps and references. Show all
calculations have been reviewed by another engineer.

Ensure that all the drawings should have the scales specified for
each section, plan view, and detail. Also, provide scale legends
4.0 to all the scales used for each sheet.

5.0 North arrows are provided on plan views.

Section cuts are labeled and oriented correctly. Detail references

6.0 Coordinate with the detail drawings.

The architectural, mechanical, or other disciplines do not conflict

7.0 with the structural plans or specifications. Special attention was
paid to:
7.1 Locations of ductwork, wall chases, etc.

Dimensional correctness and architectural gridlines coincide with

7.2 the structural drawings.

7.3 Headroom clearances, structural cutouts and openings for all the
M.E.P services.
7.4 Beams and columns protruding horizontally and vertically into
stairwells, and other interior spaces.
7.5 The differing top of interior masonry wall connection details.
7.6 Structural walls and the wall material are coordinated with the

List the type of structural system used (e.g. special reinforced

3.6 concrete frame, reinforced shear walls) and the response
modification coefficient, R, per current code of practice.

3 PERTINENT DESIGN FACTORS

1.0 Design of below grade structures, tunnels, trenches, pits, etc.,

considered uplift and other effects due to groundwater.
Deflection (including long term deflection) was considered and
camber provided where required. These items should be closely
checked where long spans are involved. The deflections of the
2.0
beam and/or slab were calculated if they did not meet the
minimum depths required by section 9.5 in ACI.

The sizes of materials utilized are commonly available and within

stock lengths. If materials (including reinforcing steel), members, or
3.0 assemblies exceed stock lengths or handling and transportation
limitations, splices are specified and detailed.
4.0 The structure and its parts can be built as detailed when materials,
fabrication practices, usual tolerances and discrepancies,
construction techniques, and sequence of operations are taken
into account.
5.0 The height of all columns and walls is provided. The drawings
clearly show the spacing between supporting elements so the
design of the structural components can be easily verified.

The design is complete, i.e. that a design for all structural

6.0 components has been included.

Auxiliary work such as underground tanks, transformer pads,

7.0 machinery and equipment foundation supports, utility pits and
manholes are located and properly detailed.

development.
Structural engineer has coordinated with the civil and
geotechnical engineer to ensure the manner of establishing
footing depths is consistent with existing topography, and existing
site conditions with respect to any required clearing, demolition,
8.0 removal or accommodation of existing utilities and other
construction. The establishment of footing depths is consistent with
respect to the construction such as pits, trenches, adjacent water
tanks, or other underground installation.

splices, anchorage, stirrup sizes, stirrup spacing, stirrup locations,
and stirrup/tie configurations.
8.0 A bar bending diagram is added where required for clarity.

9.0 For better quality control reasons, the recommended straight top
and bottom reinforcement has been used in the beams and slabs
as opposed to bending the bars to economize the design.

11.0 insulation, have been indicated and reinforcement placement
for this condition is clearly detailed.
Concrete cover for reinforcement is shown in notes for all
members and conditions. In areas close to the sea, additional
12.0 cover or other provisions have been provided to protect
reinforcing bars against attack by salt-laden moisture.

Additional reinforcement is provided and clearly detailed around

13.0 openings in concrete walls and slabs.

14.0 Exterior platforms, door pads, and patios are sloped to drain
away from the building.

15.0 sumps. (Note: In some cases, trench floors will also be pitched).

16.0 Column center dimensions, wall thickness, and other necessary

dimensions are shown.
Roof structure is adequate to support equipment to be installed,
and the curbs or pads to support the equipment. Special
attention has been paid to areas with large concrete pads like
17.0
the ones
supporting large satellites, etc. Also, large slab openings have
been framed around with intermediate roof beams.
18.0 Potential maintenance and replacement loads have been
considered for roof and other levels.
19.0 All slab designations are noted.

20.0 Splice lengths for all sizes of rebar used have been shown or
tabulated.
21.0 All beam elevations are clearly indicated and all beam offsets
are shown.

22. The following schedules are shown, if required:

a. Footing schedule.
b. Grade beam schedule.
c. Pile cap schedule.
d. Lintel schedule.
e. One-way and two-way concrete slab schedule.
f. Concrete beam schedule.
22.0 g. Column schedule.

The column schedule and detail show all story heights, splice
23.0 points, and the top and bottom of all columns with relation to
some given floor elevations.
When flexural members act as part of a primary lateral load
24.0 resisting system, check the bottom bars will develop the yield stress
in tension at the beams ends. (See ACI 318).
Insure that the setting bed for tiled areas consisting of quarry or
25.0 terrazzo tile are deep enough to accommodate embedded items
such as conduit and construction tolerances.
Insure that concrete water storage tanks are provided with a
watertight membrane liner as part of the system. The technical
26.0 coordinator or leader of the design team should be notified to
ensure this liner is on the drawings and described in the
appropriate specifications.
For primary reinforcement, the recommend 12 mm diameter rebar
minimum has been used. (Typically 10 mm diameter rebar only
27.0 used for lateral reinforcement elements like
stirrups, hoops, ties, etc…)
The reinforcing provided meets the minimum percentage and
temperature requirements of ACI. Also, the reinforcement does
28.0 not exceed the percentage of steel allowed per ACI. Attention
was made to ensure rebar spliced in standard columns does not
exceed 8%, or exceed 6% for special moment frames.

6 JOINTS

1.0 1. Insure that expansion joints through elevated floors, walls,

roof, etc., are clearly detailed.
The maximum spacing of 30 to 45 meters between expansion
joints has been observed for concrete structures. If the spacing
has been exceeded, supporting analysis has been provided.
2.0

shaped, U-shaped, or other irregularly shaped buildings.

3.0 All joints required to build the structure are shown.

4.0 Water stops are provided in joints below grade when water
could enter into a usable space.
The types and locations of control, construction, and expansion
joints are shown, and the layouts are designed so the joints will

expansion joints are shown separately.

6.0 The distance between two crack control joints for slabs on
grade does not exceed the 4 to 6 meters limit.
7.0 The control joints are at least ¼ the depth of the slab.

7 MASONRY

1.0 Coursing of masonry walls and partitions shall be coordinated

between architectural and structural drawings to avoid cutting
blocks, especially the top course of block.

2.0 Control joints are clearly located and fully detailed for each
condition, type of construction, and finish.
3.0 Horizontal joint reinforcing is provided.

Horizontal joint reinforcement is used in the horizontal masonry

mortar joints unless bond beam type construction preferred.
(Rebar used in the mortar joints is usually too large. For normal
4.0 mortar joint thicknesses of 10 mm, proper clearance can't be
achieved around the rebar to ensure proper bonding. In remote
locations, 6 mm rebar can be used in mortar joints, if horizontal
joint reinforcement not available.)
The location, size, and amount of extra reinforcement are shown
5.0 for the concrete masonry units at or near openings.

6.0 All lintels are provided.

7.0 All masonry pilasters are of sufficient capacity for loads

applied.
The design criteria for crack control have been followed where
8.0 applicable. The maximum spacing of 7.2 meters for control joints
has been provided.
