Basic Structural Checklist For Building Type S4: Steel Frames/Concrete Shear Walls

The floors and roof consist of cast-in-place concrete slabs or metal deck with or without concrete fill. Framing consists of steel beams, open web joists or steel trusses. Lateral forces are resisted by cast-in-place concrete shear walls. These walls are bearing walls when the steel frame does not provide a complete vertical support system. In older construction, the steel frame is designed for vertical loads only. In modern dual systems, the steel moment frames are designed to work together with the concrete shear walls in proportion to their relative rigidity. In the case of a dual system, the walls shall be evaluated under this building type and the frames shall be evaluated under S1 or S1A, Steel Moment Frames. Diaphragms consist of concrete or metal deck with or without concrete fill. The steel frame may provide a secondary lateral-force-resisting system depending on the stiffness of the frame and the moment capacity of the beam-column connections. The Basic Structural Checklist For Building Type S4: Steel Frames/Concrete Shear Walls mobile app allows you to replace your paper structural checklist with a tablet or smartphone. The mobile form includes fields to document items such as date of inspection, structure/ building location, contractor details, records inspection note, and corrective actions and capture's contractor and inspector's signatures. Once the mobile app is filled out a secure PDF is generated. The PDF is easy to share, and a copy is stored in your account for your concrete records. You can also use the App Builder to personalize and customize this mobile form.
