Can anyone tell me what the "100 COG" (in yellow) refers to in my engineers pier drawing?
The rest I've worked out but stumped with this one!
Cheers.

The purpose is to embed the bar, preventing it lifting up, so holding down what it's attached to. A bit like Starter Bars. I'm sure Cornell will provide a proper engineering explanation.... Re: drawing acronym 8Jun 11, 2014 1:29 pm I'm assuming it means Continuous Fillet Weld - it's the term used in my other other engineering plans. These steel plates have to be embedded into my concrete piers before they set so that the shipping containers can be welded to the piers. THAT'S going to be fun!! Re: drawing acronym 9Jun 15, 2014 11:29 pm on the subject of setting steel plate bearers into poured concrete footings: why is this practice common to shipping container constructions rather than an alternative such as build in reinforcing (aka cage) with steel plate part of the reinforcing? I'm not sure how the engineering specs would differ from the above for C2 and above rating. Re: drawing acronym 10Jun 15, 2014 11:50 pm hard_aground - my engineers specs only required reinforcing if the pier exceeds 1000mm in length. As mine will only be 700mm reinforcing is unnecessary. Originally my engineers required 2M20 chemset 801 series bolts though the container bottom rail into the piers. I had to point out to them the impossibility of this type of fixing and gave them drawings I made from other container house pier settings I had seen. They then approved these and redrew them. What I mean by this is that I think this is perhaps just one way of fixing containers to piers. There are probably other methods out there that I am not familiar with. |
