Re: Wall Reinforcing Steel Observation

EEC Project No. 04-01-047
Mr. Brannen:
EARTH ENGINEERING
COMPANY, INC.
Earth Engineering Company, Inc. (EEC) personnel have completed the construction
observation services you requested for the referenced project. Those services included the
observation of the foundation wall reinforcing steel placed for the referenced residence
and garage. The results of the reinforcing steel observations completed by EEC personnel
are included with this report.
On February 23, 2004, EEC personnel observed the placement of the foundation wall
reinforcing steel for the referenced single-family residence. The reinforcing steel
generally consisted of two #4 bars placed horizontally at both the top and bottom of the
walls. In addition, #4 bars were placed both horizontally and vertically at approximately
18 inches on -center throughout the height and length of the garage and basement walls.
Reinforcement placed in the counterforts generally consisted of two #5 bars placed
horizontally at approximately 18 inches on -center while hooking into the foundation
walls approximately 3 feet along with vertical #4 bars placed at approximately 18 inches
on -center throughout the length of the counterfort. Lap lengths were checked and
appeared to meet the minimum required lengths.
At the time of our observations, it appeared that the wall reinforcing steel had been
placed in general accordance with the construction plans prepared by DSI, Plan # F380,
dated January 5, 2004, and revision date of January 26, 2004.
