¶ Reinforcing Steel
¶ Reinforcing Steel Material ID Log
The reinforcing steel module allows you to:
- Capture material ID
- Enter test sample results
- Identify where each heat # of steel was placed
When you go to the page you will see the Reinforcing Steel Material ID Log. You will see the following fields:
- Project or subproject
- Size of the rebar/reinforcing steel
- Bar type
- Heat #
- Material Test Report
- Pounds Identified
- Pounds Placed
- Required # of bend test samples and tension test samples
- Identifies the number of samples taken
- Identifies the number of test results that have not been reported
- Action column allows you to view, edit or add more steel to this particular heat # and bar size
When you click the green Add New Reinforcing Steel Material ID button a two part form will come up.
Part A requires you to input:
- Project or subproject
- Indicate if the rebar was or was not identifiable (per the building code)
- For reinforcing bars found to be identifiable, sample two (2) bars from every 10 tons (20,000 lbs.), or fraction thereof, for each size of rebar.
- For unidentifiable reinforcing bars or jobsite sampling, sample two (2) bars from every two and one-half tons (5,000 lbs.), or fraction thereof, for each size of rebar.
- Heat Number
- Bar Size
- Bar Type
- Mill Cert file upload
After you complete adding in the basic information you are returned to the log.
Click on Add Lbs in the action column and a new window will pop up allowing you to input:
- Date identified
- Pounds identified
- Bend Samples Taken
- Tensile Samples Taken
¶ Reinforcing Steel Placement Log
The reinforcing steel placement module allows you to identify where your rebar was placed. You can identify a lot more rebar than what is used in many cases, so your required tests are based off of the amount of this rebar being placed on the actual project. When you go to this page you will see a log showing the following:
- Project/subproject
- Bar size
- Bar type
- heat #
- Pounds placed
- Release #: this is the identifying number that rebar fabricators attach to your bundles to identify specific bars
- Planset
- Plansheets
When you click Add New Reinforcing Pounds Placed a form will open up allowing you to input the information. This pulls from the material ID log so make sure you input the information there first.
¶ Reinforcing Steel Test results
By clicking the enter test results you will be prompted to a page where you can identify the heat # and bar size entered on the material ID log.
You will be able to:
- Select which samples you are reporting: Bend samples are on the left and tensile samples are on the right
- Input pictures or files of test results
- Input the load applied and elongation results
Upon entering the test results, the reported information will be visible on the material ID log.
You can view the specific log and see all of the file attachments and information.
