Does a detailer care about supporting the elements which are not available in the structural design, but it could affect the structure? You should care!
See the below incident for an example.
This structural plan has sections 1 & 2. Refer below snip for section views.
If you see the above snap, Section 2 has detail-A, which shows parapet wall support. But section-1 does not have it.
Is that means there is no support required?
Actually, there is also support required.
Refer below architect plan.
ARCHITECTURAL PLAN
We have noticed that the parapet coming all around the roof (Highlighted in Pink Colour). So we raise RFI regarding this issue for taking it to their attention. Refer below snip.
The client realises the situation and approves providing parapet support members all around the roof. Refer below snip for the client’s response.
We always keep our client’s out of trouble from these types of issues.
