G. Are elevations of foundation con-
sistent with recommendations in
soils report?
H. Has foundation settlement or heave
been addressed in design?
I. Have horizontal forces, applied to
deep foundations, been adequately
addressed?
J. Does pile spacing match require-
ments for soils report and pile cap
design?
K. Has settlement of large fills, adja-
cent to rigid members, been
assessed?
L. Can both downward and upward
loads be transmitted from pile cap
to piles?
VI. Concrete Design
A. Have unbraced lengths been
included in design of all columns?
B. If members do not meet require-
ments for minimum size by ACI,
have deflections been checked,
based on cracked sections?
C. Have major elements and highly
repetitive members been checked
using code moments?
D. Have restraining effects of walls
and footings been included in
design?
E. Have effects of temperature, creep,
shrinkage, and elastic shorting been
included in design? (Note: Pay par-
ticular attention to these items in
prestressed structures.)
F. Have bar splice and lap lengths for
special conditions been calculated
where required?
