G. Have all edge beams been designed
and reinforced for torsion?
H. Have intermediate bars been pro-
vided for beams greater than 30 in
deep?
I. Have minimum stirrups been
required?
J. Are d values used, consistent with
expected tolerances at project site?
K. Does bar spacing meet both mini-
mum and maximum spacings?
L. In two-way slabs has correct d
value been used in both directions?
M. Have minimum steel requirements
for beams, slabs, and walls been
met?
N. Has construction sequence been
considered in design of backfilled
walls?
O. If steel percentage exceeds 50% of
allowable, have beam and column
intersections been investigated for
interference?
P. Are proper splices called for in
columns where percentage of steel
exceeds 4%?
Q. Has length of top reinforcing in
cantilevers been calculated to
extend past point of inflection?
R. Has effect of creep and shrinkage
been calculated in cantilever
sections?
S. Has cover depth for reinforcing
been correctly maintained through-
out calculations?
VII. Masonry Design
A. Have height-to-thickness ratios been
checked for unreinforced walls?
