Mislocated Holes at Field Bolted Splices

Main Member Type: I Shape plate Girders, rolled Beams
Attached Member/ Detail Type: Field Bolted Splices
Error Type: Mislocated Holes in Web or Flange
Description of Error: Due to shifted template or layout error, holes drilled too close to free edge, ~M~Jadjacent bolts or expected edge of splice plate.
Solution Recommended:Flanges Webs Depends on location, select Flanges and Webs.
Required Final Checks / Verification: QA verifies agreed correction and alignment acceptable. Resident Engineer and erector notified.
Was Repair Successful ?: Yes. When possible, kept size and number of bolts unchanged to reduce chance of error in field.
Other Possible solutions: Major redesign of splice; removing a portion of member and lengthening adjacent member (changes many things, erection nightmare likely!)
Remarks: Mistakes happen. As long as isolated instances, no need for punitive measures as long as final structure satisfies designer requirements.
