w <br />-2- <br />• <br />B. Assembly <br />SHEET 2 aF 4 <br />1. Lay out grade plates at all vertical column locations <br />and bring to proper elevation and grade. Insert the <br />bolts in the grade plates with 5/8" spring nuts to <br />hold them in place. <br />NOTE: Grade plates should have 8" of soil cushion if <br />wall sets on solid rock or unyielding soil. <br />2. Lay out one first-lift vertical connector and necessary <br />connecting channels with nuts and bolts at each grade <br />plate. Outside corners require half as many connect- <br />ing channels as intermediate vertical connectors. <br />Project drawing gives vertical connector lengths and <br />number of splices to use to make up total vertical <br />connector for various heights of wall. <br />• 3. Lay out one bottom spacer and two regular spacers <br />between the Lwo end vertical connectors and one bottom <br />spacer and one regular spacer between the interior <br />vertical connectors. Note that bottom spacer is not as <br />wide as the other spacers. <br />c • <br />`~` 4. Attach connecting channels and spacers to vertical <br />connectors making sure bottom spacer is on bottom. Do <br />not tighten nuts snugly at this time. <br />5. Lay out 2 or 3 stringers between the assembled vertical <br />connectors and spacers, back and front. <br />6. Beginning at one end of the Bin-Wall, attach a stringer <br />to the grade plate and then to the connecting channel <br />on the vertical connector. Do this on each face of <br />the Wall. Do not tighten nuts snugly at this time. <br />7. Check alignment of all bins and tighten nuts on lower <br />two stringers and bottom spacer for each bi.n. <br />8. Place stringers previously laid-out and tighten all <br />nuts. <br />9. Partially fill the bins in 4" to 8" layers and tamp <br /> thoroughly. Work compacted fill material into the <br /> corrugations of all members, but do not damage wall <br /> sections with tamping equipment. Take care not to <br />. bulge the str ingers or exterior spacers. <br />
