Civil and Structural Testing and Inspection ServicesGuidelinesIntroductionThis document contains guidelines, recommendations and requirementsfor civil and structural engineering testing and inspection. The followingtopics are covered: DefinitionsDesign team responsibilitiesTesting and inspection agency responsibilitiesTesting guidelinesInspection guidelinesExample of testing and inspection requirements for a Heritage98style meetinghouseTables are presented which provide information and the minimum numberof tests and inspections recommended and expected for meetinghouses,seminaries and institutes, and welfare services projects.An example for determining the testing and inspection requirements for aHeritage98 style meetinghouse is provided. Attachments “A” and “B’from the Agreement Between Owner and Testing Agency have beencompleted based upon this example. The example and the attachmentsprovide further insight regarding the minimum number of tests andinspections recommended and expected and also the possible testing andinspection costs. Note that this is an example to provide rough estimatesand actual costs vary from site to site.DefinitionsContract Documents: The engineering and architectural drawings andspecifications issued for construction, plus clarification drawings,addenda, approved change orders and contractor designed elements.Field Quality Assurance: Testing, inspections, special testing and specialinspections provided for by the owner.Field Quality Control: Testing, inspections, special testing and specialinspections provided for by the contractor.General Contractor: The company or person with a formal contract to performa specific job, supplying labor and materials and providing and overseeing staff ifneeded. The company responsible for the fulfillment of the contract documentrequirements.Inspection/Special Inspection: Inspection of the materials, installation,fabrication, erection or placement of components and connections requiringspecial expertise to ensure compliance with approved construction documents andreferenced standards. An inspection is not required by code provisions but may beCivil and Structural Testing and Inspection Guidelines.docxAugust 5, 20141
required by the contract documents. A special inspection is required by codeprovisions and by the contract documents. Special Inspection, Continuous: The full-time observation of workrequiring special inspection by an approved special inspector who ispresent in the area where the work is being performed. Special Inspection, Periodic: The part-time or intermittent observationof work requiring special inspection by an approved special inspector whois present in the area where the work has been or is being performed and atthe completion of the work.Project Architect (PA): The architectural design professional overseeing theproject design. The PA becomes the architect of record.Project Civil Engineer (PCE): The civil engineering design professional incharge of the analysis and design of the civil engineering aspects of a project. ThePCE becomes the civil engineer of record.Project Manager (PM): The owner’s designated representative. The owner isthe “Corporation of the Presiding Bishop of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints, a Utah Corporation sole.”Project Structural Engineer (PSE): The structural engineering designprofessional in charge of the analysis and design of the structural engineeringaspects of a project. The PSE becomes the structural engineer of record.Service Provider (SP): An agency or firm qualified to perform field andlaboratory tests and to inspect structural elements to determine the characteristicsand quality of the building materials and the workmanship. Testing and inspectionservices are provided by the SP. The Service Provider (SP) is the Testing andInspection Agency (TA). Note that it is not required that the same agency or firmprovide all the testing and inspection services. Several different agencies or firmscan be employed to provide different tests and inspections on the same project.Special Inspector: The licensed individual or firm that implements the inspectionprogram for the project.Structural Observation: The visual observation of the structural system by aregistered structural engineer for general conformance to the approvedconstruction documents at significant construction stages and at completion of thestructural system. Structural observations do not include or waive therequirements for inspections or special inspections.Test/Special Test: Field or laboratory tests to determine the characteristics andquality of building materials and workmanship. A test is not required by codeprovisions but may be required by the contract documents. A special test isrequired by code provisions and by the contract documents.Testing and Inspection Agency (TA): An agency or firm engaged to performtests or inspections or both. Testing and inspection services are provided by theTA.Civil and Structural Testing and Inspection Guidelines.docxAugust 5, 20142
Testing Laboratory: An agency or firm qualified to perform field and laboratorytests to determine the characteristics and quality of building materials andworkmanship.Design Team ResponsibilitiesThe PM retains a TA to test the material quality and inspect the workduring construction. The PM assigns the responsibility for theadministration of the testing and inspection program to the PA.The PM and PA are responsible for the proper implementation of thesetesting and inspection guidelines. The PA reviews these guidelines withthe PCE and the PSE. The PA, PCE and PSE review and site adapt thecontract documents for testing and inspection requirements.The PM (or the PA if assigned to do so by the PM) provides the TA a setof contract documents (plans and specifications) from which the TA canprovide an accurate testing and inspection proposal using the AgreementBetween Owner and Testing Agency and Attachments "A" and "B" of thatagreement, or equivalent Attachments “A” and “B”. The testing andinspection proposal is reviewed by the PM and the PA for accuracy.The GC notifies the PA and the TA at least 24 hours prior to the time thata test or inspection is needed. This arrangement is allowed to be modified,if desired, by the PA with approval of the PM. Testing and inspectionservices are provided by certified professionals, with special expertise,employed by testing and inspection agencies. Tests and inspections ensurecompliance of the construction with the project contract documents,referenced standards and building code requirements. The PM, PA, PCE,PSE, building officials and city inspectors do not provide inspections. ThePCE and PSE verify that the civil and structural portions of a project areconstructed in general conformance to the project contract documents atsignificant construction stages per the Agreement Between Owner andArchitect and provide thorough site observations and reports.Testing and Inspection Agency ResponsibilitiesIf the TA finds that the GC is not ready for a test or inspection, the TAshould (1) stay and wait for the construction to be ready or, (2) leave andreturn when the construction is ready. The TA is reimbursed for a singletrip to the site by the PM but the GC is responsible for the cost of the TA'sdowntime.The TA sends the results of tests and inspections to the PM, PA, theassociated project engineer (PCE or PSE) and GC within 24 hours of thecompletion of a test or inspection.If any item fails to meet the requirements of the contract documents, theTA first notifies the GC. If the GC does not or cannot remedy thedeficiency, the TA notifies the Building Official and the PA and theassociated project engineer (PCE or PSE) before completion of that phaseof the work. The PA, the associated project engineer (PCE and/or PSE)Civil and Structural Testing and Inspection Guidelines.docxAugust 5, 20143
and the PM immediately decide if the deficiency or the failed test indicatesunacceptable materials or workmanship. If the materials or workmanshipare not acceptable, the GC corrects the problem as directed by the PA andthen retests or re-inspects as directed by the PA. The cost of the additionaltests or inspections and additional design work, due to failed tests ordiscovered deficiencies, is paid for by the PM. The PM is reimbursed forthese costs by the GC.The design and /or specification of remedial measures are theresponsibility of the PA and the associated project engineer (PCE and/orPSE).General Approach to Testing and Inspection GuidelinesWood Framed Meetinghouses and Other Wood-Framed ProjectsOnly necessary and code required testing and inspections are provided onwood framed meetinghouses and other wood-framed projects. Buildingcodes generally require testing and inspection of engineered fill. Theowner requires some testing and/or inspection, to various degrees, ofasphalt paving, concrete paving, concrete foundations, site work concreteand sometimes wood construction.Welfare Services ProjectsMore extensive testing and inspections are required on welfare servicesprojects. Engineered fill, asphalt paving, concrete paving, concretefoundations, site work concrete, masonry and steel all require testingand/or inspections.Testing GuidelinesThe TA provides all testing services.Engineered FillTesting of all engineered fill is required for all projects. Written testingreports are to be provided per Attachment “A” of the Agreement BetweenOwner (Trust) and Testing Agency.Testing should provide the following (unless indicated otherwise in thegeotechnical evaluation report which sometimes requires more testing thanindicated below): One moisture-maximum density relationship test for each type ofengineered fill material. The most conservative result of the following two paragraphsshould be followed:o One written compaction test for every 100 cubic yards ofengineered fill placed within the paved/concreted and buildingpad areas.o One written compaction test per 10,000 square feet of surfacearea and for each lift of engineered fill placed inpaved/concreted areas. One written compaction test per 2,500Civil and Structural Testing and Inspection Guidelines.docxAugust 5, 20144
square feet of surface area and for each lift of engineered fillplaced in the building pad area.One written compaction test per 40 linear feet of footing and foreach lift of engineered fill placed under continuous (strip) footingsOne written compaction test for each footing and for each lift ofengineered fill placed under spot (spread) footings.One written compaction test per 100 lineal feet of trench and foreach lift of engineered fill.Two written tests of top soil per Specification Section 32 9001.During testing, inspect and verify that the material being used and themaximum lift thicknesses comply with the recommendations of thegeotechnical report and the requirements of the contract documents.Testing and inspection services are ideally performed and provided at thesame time. These services are often provided by the geotechnicalengineer.The FIELD QUALITY CONTROL section of SPECIFICATIONSECTION 31 1123 – AGGREGATE BASE and the FIELD QUALITYCONTROL section of SPECIFICATION SECTION 31 2323 – FILL areto be reviewed and be site adapted by the design team. The specificationsare used by the TA to complete Attachment “A” and “B” of the AgreementBetween Owner and Testing Agency. The TA provides testing andinspection services per the specifications.Concrete and Concrete PavingWood Framed Meetinghouses and Other Wood Framed Projects:Testing of concrete is generally not required by building codes for woodframed meetinghouses and other wood framed projects. The Church,however, requires some minimal amount of testing consisting of twoconcrete test specimens for footings and foundation walls and interiorslabs on grade and also six concrete test specimens for exterior site workconcrete for projects over about 9,000 square feet (Fayette, Heritage,Legacy, Heritage 09T, Independence 170 (and larger) stylemeetinghouses, and larger seminary and institute buildings). The PM, athis discretion, and with the input of the PA’s design team, may requireadditional test specimens for more quality control. Periodic, orcontinuous, inspection of the placement or concrete would ideally beprovided by the same person that takes test specimens.The Church does not require concrete test specimens for footings, orfoundation walls, or interior slabs on grade but does require three concretetest specimens for exterior site work concrete for projects under about9,000 square feet (Sharon, Independence 130 (and smaller) stylemeetinghouses, and in smaller seminary and institute buildings). The PM,at his discretion, and with the input of the PA’s design team, may requireadditional test specimens for more quality control. Periodic, orcontinuous, inspection of the placement of concrete would ideally beprovided by the same person that takes test spec
