# WillTools -- catalogue -- rationale
|
||
|
||
Why the values in `knowledge.yaml` are what they are. Moved out of
|
||
that file so the keys the tool actually reads stay legible. NOTHING
|
||
HERE IS PARSED by anything -- it is for the reader, human or model.
|
||
|
||
Each section is named for the key it explains. The key itself keeps a
|
||
`# sources:` stub and a pointer back here, so no number sits in the
|
||
layer with its provenance out of sight.
|
||
|
||
Generated once by tools/layersplit.py; edit freely from here on.

||
## face_designations.frames
|
||
|
||
The closed set of frames of reference, and THE SIDES EACH ONE CAN NAME.
|
||
|
||
A vocabulary declaring a frame that is not one of these cannot be
|
||
resolved against anything, and neither can a token whose `side` does not
|
||
belong to its vocabulary's frame -- `side: near` under `frame: form` is
|
||
half an edit, and config_problems reports both.
|
||
|
||
TWO TOKENS NAME THE SAME FACE WHEN THEY HAVE THE SAME (frame, side).
|
||
That pair IS the identity of a face here, which is how a plant whose
|
||
near/far is anchored to the FORM can say that its N.F. and T.I.F. are one
|
||
face -- both `frame: form`, both `side: top` -- without either vocabulary
|
||
having to know about the other.
|
||
|
||
`both` belongs to every frame: a token like E.L. names all the faces the
|
||
vocabulary can name, so no frame is needed to resolve it.
|
||
|
||
## face_designations.vocabularies.near_far
|
||
|
||
------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
LAYER POSITION, SEEN FROM THE DRAWING.
|
||
|
||
WHICH ANCHOR A PRODUCER USES IS NOT PUBLISHED AND IS NOT ASSUMED.
|
||
This vocabulary is the view-anchored reading: near and far measured
|
||
from the direction the elevation looks. It is a real convention and it
|
||
is NOT universal -- a producer may anchor the same two words to the
|
||
CASTING BED instead, so that "near face" simply means the face that
|
||
ends up on top in the form. That producer declares its own
|
||
form-anchored vocabulary in its own plant file (a map, so this one is
|
||
untouched) and selects that; it does not half-edit this one.
|
||
|
||
Which is exactly why `frame` is a field rather than a comment: the same
|
||
two tokens mean different things at different plants, and only the
|
||
frame says which.
|
||
|
||
E.L. is the odd one and it is why `side` exists separately from
|
||
`means`: "each layer" names BOTH faces at once, so it is symmetric --
|
||
flipping the view does not make it wrong. A check that treated it as
|
||
a single face and flipped it would invent a finding.

## orientation

|
||
==========================================================================
|
||
WHICH END OF A PIECE IS UP ONCE IT IS ERECTED.
|
||
==========================================================================
|
||
|
||
Owner, 2026-08-30, asked whether to wire or delete the two plant keys that
|
||
had been asking a producer to declare this:
|
||
|
||
"哪头朝上取决于 assembly origin。也就是 TOT。写入公共知识。
|
||
assembly origin 里面有一个朝上的头。"
|
||
|
||
-- which end is up depends on the ASSEMBLY ORIGIN, also called TOT; write
|
||
it into the public knowledge; the assembly origin has an up end in it.
|
||
|
||
WHY THIS IS PUBLIC AND NOT PLANT KNOWLEDGE. It is how a precast assembly is
|
||
built, not a house habit. The origin is placed as part of making the
|
||
assembly, and placing it IS the statement of which end goes up -- so there
|
||
is nothing for a producer to declare, and a key asking one to declare it is
|
||
asking the wrong question. The test this file applies to everything in it
|
||
holds: this identifies no client, no job and no producer.
|
||
|
||
WHAT IT REPLACED, AND WHY THAT MATTERS MORE THAN THE VALUE. The plant layer
|
||
used to carry `orientation.top_is_higher_global_z: true` -- "the top is the
|
||
end at the higher elevation in the model". That is a different MECHANISM,
|
||
not a different answer, and the difference is not cosmetic: global
|
||
elevation answers this for a wall panel stood on end and is meaningless for
|
||
a piece erected long-ways, where both ends are at the same height and the
|
||
winner is whatever the model's rounding happens to be. An origin has a
|
||
direction whichever way the piece is erected.
|
||
|
||
A HIGHER LAYER MAY STILL OVERRIDE. `up_end` is a MAP, so it deep-merges:
|
||
a producer whose assemblies genuinely do not carry a usable origin corrects
|
||
one field and inherits the rest. What it may not do is state a different
|
||
mechanism -- that is code, not data, and `up_end_rule()` reads exactly the
|
||
fields below.
|
||
|
||
## orientation.up_end.origin_up
|
||
|
||
---- the model-reading half ---------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
`origin_up` NULL WOULD NOT MEAN "the origin says nothing". It would mean
|
||
NOBODY HAS READ ONE YET -- the same distinction, for the same reason, as
|
||
`drawings.reinforcing_rule`: guessing which property of an origin
|
||
denotes its up end puts every erection anchor on the wrong edge at once,
|
||
silently, which is the exact failure this rule exists to end. It shipped
|
||
null and unverified for exactly as long as that was true.
|
||
|
||
IT IS NOW ANSWERED, and by measurement rather than by reasoning.
|
||
`AssemblyInstance.GetTransform()` returns a `Transform` whose `BasisY`
|
||
is the erected up direction. Read against independently measured
|
||
geometry -- extents unioned from each assembly's `GetMemberIds()` member
|
||
boxes and projected onto that assembly's own basis, so the correlation
|
||
is against the pieces and not against the transform itself:
|
||
|
||
BasisY exactly global (0,0,1) on 281 of 282 assemblies <- up
|
||
BasisZ the SMALLEST extent on 25 of 26 sampled <- face
|
||
(0.71 / 1.34 / 2.00 / 2.71 ft -- panel thickness) normal
|
||
BasisX the longest extent on 23 of 26; horizontal on all 282
|
||
|
||
BasisX x BasisY = BasisZ: the frame is right-handed and consistent.
|
||
|
||
`also_seen_as` below records the owner's colours (green up, purple
|
||
top-in-form, red long direction), which map cleanly onto Y / Z / X under
|
||
Revit's standard axis colouring. THAT MAPPING IS INFERRED, NOT READ:
|
||
the API exposes no colour at all, so it is carried as a separate,
|
||
unconfirmed field rather than folded into the sentences above. It is
|
||
with the owner.
|
||
|
||
`AssemblyInstance.get_BoundingBox(None)` returns NONE, which is why the
|
||
extents above had to be unioned from member boxes. Worth knowing before
|
||
anybody writes the obvious one-liner.
|
||
|
||
## orientation.up_end.applies_to
|
||
|
||
---- and the three ways it is wrong on real data ------------------
|
||
|
||
None of these is hypothetical; each is a piece in front of us. The rule
|
||
DECLINES on all three rather than clamping or picking the nearest axis,
|
||
because a wrong answer here is silent: the moments still balance, they
|
||
are just balanced about the wrong end.
|
||
|
||
1. ONE ASSEMBLY IN 282 HAS BasisY POINTING SIDEWAYS -- (0,1,0), with
|
||
BasisZ up and a BasisZ extent of 9.46 ft, nowhere near a thickness.
|
||
On that piece every reading above is simply wrong, so the check for
|
||
it is an assertion and not a preference: BasisY must be world up
|
||
within `up_tolerance`, or the origin cannot answer and says so.
|
||
|
||
2. THE RULE IS FOR HORIZONTAL PANELS ONLY. BasisX is the long direction
|
||
on 23 of 26 sampled; the other three run longest along BasisY. The
|
||
owner has said vertical panels work differently and will explain, so
|
||
until he does the rule stands down on anything it cannot confirm is
|
||
horizontal rather than assuming the same frame holds.
|
||
|
||
3. NEAR-SQUARE PIECES CANNOT BE CLASSIFIED AT ALL. The long-vs-up test
|
||
separates cleanly at aspect ratios 1.7 to 5.7, and two pieces sit at
|
||
1.00 (11.58 x 11.63 ft) and 0.92 (10.71 x 11.63). `near_square_ratio`
|
||
is set at 1.25 -- comfortably above the near-square pair and
|
||
comfortably below the tightest real horizontal piece, so the band it
|
||
declines on is genuinely undecidable rather than merely awkward.
|
||
|
||
## orientation.up_end.origin_point_meaning
|
||
|
||
---- one thing this does NOT yet answer, said out loud -----------
|
||
|
||
`BasisY` is asserted to be world up before it is used, so on every piece
|
||
where the rule RUNS it gives the same answer the global-elevation
|
||
fallback gives. That is not a bug and it is not nothing -- the whole
|
||
value of the rule on those pieces is the three refusals, which catch the
|
||
pieces where the old reading was silently wrong -- but it does mean the
|
||
ruled mechanism is not yet contributing an INDEPENDENT signal.
|
||
|
||
The owner's sentence was "assembly origin 里面有一个朝上的头" -- the
|
||
origin has an up END in it. `BasisY` is a DIRECTION. Whether he also
|
||
means that `Transform.Origin` SITS AT the up end -- which would be an
|
||
independent signal, and would answer a near-square or vertical piece
|
||
that the direction cannot -- has not been asked or measured. Recorded
|
||
here rather than assumed either way.
|
||
|
||
## catalogue.safety_factors
|
||
|
||
------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
Safety factors on a lifter's rated capacity.
|
||
|
||
These are properties of the LIFTER, not of a job, which is why they
|
||
live here beside the ratings they divide and not in a per-job rigging
|
||
block. Will, 2026-08-30: "这俩参数是不是 lifter 的 tension 或者 shear
|
||
capacity? 如果是的话应该从公共知识里面获取参数。" They are.
|
||
|
||
AND BECAUSE THEY ARE THE LIFTER'S, THEY ARE NOW WRITTEN ON THE LIFTER.
|
||
The pair below used to hold `tension_fos: 4.0` / `shear_fos: 2.67` and
|
||
applied to every insert in the file, from every manufacturer. Both
|
||
halves of that were wrong:
|
||
|
||
* 2.67 HAD NO SOURCE. Nothing published it, nobody typed it, and no
|
||
transcript contains it -- searched 2026-08-31 for `2.67`, `2.67:1`,
|
||
`shear_fos`, `安全系数`, `shear` and `SWL`, and the only hits are
|
||
the code that carries the number and the documents quoting that
|
||
code. A comment justifying it as "the manufacturer's 4:1 tension /
|
||
2.67:1 shear" (`panellift/PLAN.md`) was written AFTER the constant
|
||
and cites no page. That is a pedigree invented for a number, which
|
||
is worse on a safety factor than no comment at all, and it has been
|
||
removed rather than reworded.
|
||
* THE MANUFACTURER'S PAGE CONTRADICTS IT. ALP catalog p53 (02/2024)
|
||
heads the whole capacity table "Capacity in Concrete 4:1 SWL" --
|
||
ONE heading spanning BOTH the shear and the tension columns -- and
|
||
publishes shear EQUAL to tension on all seven QLPD rows. For these
|
||
parts the manufacturer's shear factor is 4:1, not 2.67:1.
|
||
|
||
SO THERE IS NO GLOBAL VALUE ANY MORE, and these two are null on
|
||
purpose rather than corrected to 4.0/4.0. A global 4.0 would be the
|
||
same defect in a better disguise: the next manufacturer's insert would
|
||
silently inherit a factor read off ALP's page. The evidence that this
|
||
is not hypothetical is in this very file -- `QL589SPG` below publishes
|
||
4,010 lb shear against 16,000 lb tension (7,690 without its tension bar),
|
||
nothing like the 1:1 the QLPD rows show, so whatever governs it is not
|
||
the disk anchors' rule.
|
||
|
||
The factors now live inside each insert entry as its own
|
||
`safety_factors:` block, cited to the page that publishes them.
|
||
`knowledge.lifter_safety_factor()` resolves them PER PART and refuses
|
||
to borrow from another; `panellift.checks.check_insert_capacity`
|
||
reports an insert it cannot resolve one for as unjudged instead of
|
||
falling back on a number.
|
||
|
||
THEY APPLY ONLY WHERE THE CATALOGUE QUOTES AN ULTIMATE LOAD. Every
|
||
`working_load_lb` below is a published SWL -- the factor is already
|
||
inside the number -- so under the default working-load reading they
|
||
are not applied at all and dividing by them again would be a double
|
||
count. They come into force only where the rating is an ultimate,
|
||
which the caller declares with `capacity_is_ultimate` (default False,
|
||
and nothing in this repository sets it true).
|
||
------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
## catalogue.inserts.QLPD2T3WG
|
||
|
||
------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
ALP QuikLift Disk Anchor. Datasheet 02/2024, QLPD4T5WG.pdf.
|
||
|
||
working_load_lb is the published 4:1 SWL, so it ALREADY contains the
|
||
safety factor and nothing downstream may apply another.
|
||
|
||
basis_fc_psi is the concrete the table was derived at. Capacity moves
|
||
with sqrt(f'c) BELOW it and does NOT move above it:
|
||
|
||
factor = min(1, sqrt(f'c actual / basis_fc_psi))
|
||
|
||
Stronger concrete buys nothing because the anchor's own mechanical
|
||
capacity takes over as the governing failure. Releasing at 2500 on a
|
||
3500 table costs sqrt(2500/3500) = 0.845.
|
||
|
||
LWT is the lifting wythe thickness the anchor height is cut for.
|
||
Non-insulated panels need 1" cover below the foot of the anchor.
|
||
|
||
---- WHAT THE PAGE SAYS, VERBATIM (ALP catalog p53, 02/2024) ------
|
||
|
||
The capacity table's heading is "Capacity in Concrete 4:1 SWL" and it
|
||
spans BOTH load columns, so 4:1 is the factor on shear as well as on
|
||
tension; every QLPD row prints the same number twice. That is where
|
||
each entry's `safety_factors: {tension_fos: 4.0, shear_fos: 4.0}`
|
||
comes from, and it is why they are written per part rather than once
|
||
for the file.
|
||
|
||
Two footnotes on the same page, both now landed:
|
||
"Insulated Recess Width (IRW) = 2x Minimum Edge Distance"
|
||
"Minimum anchor spacing is 2x the published edge distance"
|
||
The second is `min_spacing_rule` on each entry below; checklist 6.7
|
||
measures it. Nothing in this tool had ever asked the question, so two
|
||
8T anchors 20" apart passed every check while the page asked for 28".
|
||
|
||
AND A WARNING ABOUT THE ULTIMATE ROUTE, because the factors above
|
||
make it look safe and it is not. `ultimate_tension_lb / 4.0` is NOT
|
||
the published SWL on four of these seven rows -- the page shades
|
||
those and says the shading marks where the anchor's own mechanical
|
||
capacity governs, so the printed SWL is the LESSER of the 4:1
|
||
mechanical figure and what the concrete can hold:
|
||
|
||
QLPD4T3WG 32000/4 = 8000 vs 6257 published (+28%)
|
||
QLPD4T4WG 32000/4 = 8000 vs 7200 published (+11%)
|
||
QLPD8T6WG 64000/4 = 16000 vs 11019 published (+45%)
|
||
QLPD8T7WG 64000/4 = 16000 vs 14640 published (+9%)
|
||
|
||
The other three agree exactly. So for these parts the published
|
||
working load is the answer and the ultimate is provenance, not an
|
||
input: reading an ultimate through a factor here is unconservative
|
||
even with the factor right. `working_load_lb` / `shear_load_lb` are
|
||
what the checks read, and `capacity_is_ultimate` must stay false.
|
||

## catalogue.inserts.LPA4T512G
|
||
|
||
------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
ALP Lifting Pin Anchor, 4T -- a DIFFERENT clutch family from every
|
||
QuikLift entry above (Lifting Pin, not ring clutch). ALP Catalog 2024
|
||
p16-18, read 2026-09-07.
|
||
|
||
RATED AT FOUR CONCRETE STRENGTHS, NOT A BASIS + sqrt(f'c). Every
|
||
QuikLift entry above is one number at one basis psi, derated below it
|
||
and capped above it (`concrete_derate()`). The LPA page instead prints
|
||
four columns -- 1500 / 2500 / 3500 / 5000 psi -- and capacity keeps
|
||
RISING past 3,500 (6,950 lb -> 8,000 lb at 5,000 psi, +15%). Running
|
||
`concrete_derate()` on a single basis value here would silently cap the
|
||
5,000-psi case at the 3,500-psi number -- conservative, but not what the
|
||
page says, and not traceable to a cite. So `working_load_lb` and
|
||
`basis_fc_psi` are both null with a reason, and the four points land as
|
||
`by_fc_psi` instead; nothing reads that list yet (RUNBOOK 3c: land it
|
||
anyway).
|
||
|
||
TWO EDGE DISTANCES, NOT ONE, AND THEY ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE. p18
|
||
prints "Min. Edge Distances -- Tension / Shear" as two columns, 11in
|
||
and 17in for this part. `min_edge_distance_in` (the field
|
||
`lifter_edge_distance()` reads) is the TENSION figure; the SHEAR one is
|
||
`min_edge_distance_shear_in`, a name no reader consumes yet, on
|
||
purpose -- folding 17 into the one field a caller actually reads would
|
||
overstate how close a lifter may sit when the load is really shear.
|
||
|
||
NO SHEAR LOAD IS PUBLISHED FOR THIS PART, ANYWHERE ON THE PAGE. The
|
||
17in figure above is an edge distance, not a rating. A plant's own
|
||
tested chart may state that a back-cast LPA is rated in shear as its
|
||
tension (footnote logic already in `knowledge.py`'s
|
||
`_back_cast_shear_from_tension`); that is plant knowledge and belongs
|
||
in a plant layer, not here -- this entry answers only what ALP
|
||
publishes, which is null with a reason.
|
||
|
||
ONE ROW LANDED, NOT THE FAMILY. The same two pages tabulate 30 LPA
|
||
rows from 1T to 20T; only LPA4T512G is landed, because it is the only
|
||
one anything in this repository currently models. The rest are real,
|
||
orderable parts with no entry here yet -- adding one is copying a row,
|
||
not re-deriving anything.

## catalogue.inserts.QL589SPG
|
||
|
||
------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
ALP QuikLift Tech Erection Anchor, 8T. ALP Catalog 2024 p35 (the
|
||
QL527G / QL548G / QL589G capacity table), read 2026-09-01.
|
||
|
||
TENSION HAS TWO PUBLISHED COLUMNS AND THEY DIFFER BY 2.1x. The page
|
||
rates this anchor with and without a TENSION BAR:
|
||
|
||
4:1 SWL tension WITHOUT tension bar 7,220 .. 11,680 by thickness
|
||
4:1 SWL tension WITH tension bar 16,000 at every thickness
|
||
|
||
Until 2026-09-01 this entry carried a bare `working_load_lb: 7690`
|
||
with no source, no note that 7,690 was the 8 in row of a thickness
|
||
table, and no note that the second column existed. Owner's question
|
||
("P76 的 tension capacity 在哪个文件里面?哪儿来的这个 7960 的数字?")
|
||
is what surfaced it; 7,960 is in no row of the table, and the number
|
||
actually recorded was 7,690.
|
||
|
||
WHICH COLUMN APPLIES IS A PLANT FACT, NOT A PRODUCT FACT, so it is
|
||
NOT decided here. A plant states that it welds a tension bar to the
|
||
part in its own layer (`lifters.tension_bar_families` /
|
||
`parts_shipped_with_tension_bar`); the plant this was traced on does,
|
||
via two bars welded to the embed.
|
||
`working_load_lb` below is therefore the WITH-BAR rating and is only
|
||
correct for a plant that has made that claim.
|
||
|
||
SHEAR IS THE THICKNESS-DEPENDENT ONE and `shear_load_lb` holds the
|
||
THINNEST row (7-1/2 in / 8 in), which is the floor of the table --
|
||
conservative for every thicker panel and exact for the two thin ones.
|
||
The full table is carried below so a reader that learns the panel
|
||
thickness can stop being conservative; nothing reads it yet.

------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
ALP QuikLift Tech Erection Anchor, 8T -- THE BASE ANCHOR, no shear
|
||
plate. Same page family as QL589SPG above, same ring clutch (QL003,
|
||
8T-12T), a DIFFERENT physical part: no SPW/SPL/SPT dimensions, lighter
|
||
(8.44 lb vs 9.64 lb), packed 250/crate against 200/crate. ALP Catalog
|
||
2024 p35 (pdf p35, footer "34 QUIKLIFT SYSTEM 02/2024"), read
|
||
2026-09-07.
|
||
|
||
**A FLAG FOR THE OWNER, NOT A SILENT FIX.** The `QL589SPG` entry
|
||
immediately above this one is cited to p35 -- QL589G's own page, not
|
||
QL589SPG's (p36, "QuikLift Tech Erection Anchor **with Shear Plate**",
|
||
footer "35 QUIKLIFT SYSTEM 02/2025") -- and its `by_panel_thickness_in`
|
||
table reproduces p35's QL589G row digit for digit (7,220 / 7,690 /
|
||
8,640 / 9,580 / 10,610 / 11,680 at 7.5-12in, matching this entry's own
|
||
table below exactly). p36's own QL589SPG table is close but not
|
||
identical (7,100 / 7,220 / 7,690 / 8,640 / 9,580 / 10,610 / 11,680 at
|
||
7-12in -- an extra 7in row, and 6,030 where QL589G's table reads 6,032
|
||
at 7.5-8in). So the entry named `QL589SPG` in this file currently
|
||
carries QL589G's data, not its own. Nothing here was changed to fix
|
||
that -- a landed entry another job may already be reading is not this
|
||
pass's to silently rewrite (CLAUDE.md §3, "a contradiction hit mid-work
|
||
is the owner's to settle"). What is added instead: this entry, landed
|
||
correctly against p35 under the name the page actually prints, so a
|
||
model family that says `QL589G` (as at least one real job's does --
|
||
`LIFT_QL589G_8T`, confirmed against a live model 2026-09-02) is no
|
||
longer forced through the SPG-shaped entry to get a rating at all.
|
||
Whether `QL589SPG` should be re-read against p36 and corrected is on
|
||
the owner's list.
|
||
|
||
working_load_lb / shear_load_lb / by_panel_thickness_in below are
|
||
QL589G's own numbers, read directly off p35, not copied from the
|
||
QL589SPG entry -- the two entries agree because the two anchors'
|
||
published capacities are themselves nearly identical, not because one
|
||
was derived from the other.

ALP QuikLift Plate Anchors -- back-stripping anchors with a plate
|
||
welded to the foot, a different shape from every LPA / QuikLift
|
||
ring-clutch entry above. ALP Catalog 2024 p52 (pdf p53, footer "52
|
||
QUIKLIFT SYSTEM 02/2025"), read 2026-09-07.
|
||
|
||
TENSION AND SHEAR ARE THE SAME PUBLISHED NUMBER, on all four rows --
|
||
the page's own "Capacity in Concrete 4:1 SWL" table prints one column
|
||
of each, and they are equal on every row (3,570 / 4,700 / 4,730 / 6,350
|
||
lb both ways). That is a genuine published fact, not a transcription
|
||
shortcut: it is the same SHAPE as the LPA-series back-cast footnote
|
||
(shear equals tension when a part is cast in the panel's field rather
|
||
than at a free edge), and here it is simply what ALP prints as the SWL
|
||
for either direction -- no footnote needed, no plant fact required to
|
||
reach it.
|
||
|
||
THE PUBLISHED EDGE DISTANCE IS TENSION ONLY. The page's own footnote:
|
||
"Shear edge distances should be based on ACI calculations or testing
|
||
in plain concrete." `min_edge_distance_in` on each entry is the
|
||
tension figure the table actually prints; `shear_edge_distance_published:
|
||
false` says outright that there is no second number to read for shear,
|
||
so a caller does not assume `min_edge_distance_in` covers both
|
||
directions the way it might for a part where only one distance is ever
|
||
published because only one applies.
|
||
|
||
THE REBAR CAUTION IS PER-PART, NOT PER-PAGE. The dagger note ("rebar
|
||
should not be placed between the recess member and the base plate")
|
||
is marked on QL846G and QL847G (and QL128G, not landed here) but NOT
|
||
on QL044G or QL054G -- landed as a `note:` only where the page's own
|
||
dagger marks it, rather than copied onto all four.
|
||
|
||
WHY THIS MATTERS BEYOND THE FOUR NUMBERS. A plant's own tested chart
|
||
can print these same four designations with an unqualified `Zero` in
|
||
the shear column and no footnote marking them as the back-cast
|
||
exception -- which under the three-state reading in `knowledge.py`
|
||
(`_field_rating_state`) is correctly treated as UNRATED, not a real
|
||
zero, and stands down rather than answering `Zero`. Before this
|
||
landing, that stand-down had nowhere to fall through to: `catalogue.
|
||
inserts` held none of these four designations. It does now -- with a
|
||
real, equal-to-tension shear rating, from an independent, wholly
|
||
public source. Reaching it from a plant layer still needs that layer's
|
||
own `lifters.catalogue_alias` line (a plant's own part-numbering habit,
|
||
not landed here -- RUNBOOK stage 3d).

ALP Insulated Panel Anchors -- QL184G / QL184SPG. ALP Catalog 2024

page images (QNA/extraction-benchmark-2026-09-01.md, "QL184G verified

|

not one agent's note). QL184SPG is QL184G with a factory shear plate
|

added (SPW/SPL/SPT dimensions); both share the same ring clutch class.
|
||
|
||
A DIFFERENT QL SUB-FAMILY FROM QLPD ABOVE, on a different catalogue
|

page, with its own capacity shape. QLPD's `working_load_lb` /
|
||
`shear_load_lb` do NOT apply here -- these two entries carry only
|
||
dimensions and the ultimate mechanical rating; the SWL capacities are
|
||
a matrix keyed by panel geometry and part number, not a per-part
|
||
scalar, so they are landed separately below as
|
||
`insulated_panel_anchor_capacities`. Do not add working_load_lb /
|
||
shear_load_lb to these two entries -- read the capacity table instead.

|

ALP Catalog 2024 p.49 (pdf p50), judge-verified 2026-09-01 (same
|
||
benchmark file as above, same "QL184G verified values" section --
|
||
every cell here was read individually off the rendered page image and
|
||
passed the two identity checks below across all four rows).
|
||
|
||
WHY A SEPARATE TABLE AND NOT FOUR MORE `inserts:` ENTRIES. The page's
|
||
capacity matrix is keyed by PANEL GEOMETRY, not by part number alone --
|
||
QL184G and QL184SPG each appear on more than one panel-geometry row,
|
||
and the same geometry caption recurs for both parts (both anchors have
|
||
a row under the "(3\" x 2\" x 3\")" group). A dict keyed by part number
|
||
cannot hold that; a list of rows, each carrying its own part number and
|
||
caption, can. Only the four QL184G/QL184SPG rows are landed here -- the
|
||
neighbouring QL217SPG / QL077G / QL242G / QL242SPG / QL243G / QL243SPG
|

rows on the same page were read only as the judge's identity-check

neighbourhood and are not requested for this catalogue.
|
||
|
||
---- SAFETY-FACTOR SEMANTICS, EXACTLY AS PRINTED ------------------
|
||
|
||
BOTH columns below are already SWL (working load) values -- the safety
|
||
factor is baked into each published number, THE SAME AS QLPD ABOVE AND
|
||
UNLIKE THE HK CONNECTOR ENTRIES (`connectors.products.'HK Composites
|
||
(ST*)'`), whose `ultimate_tensile_pullout_lb` / `shear_strength_lb` are
|
||
ULTIMATES with no stated factor. Do not divide anything below by
|
||
another factor, and do not read `ultimate_mechanical_tension_lb` on the
|
||
QL184G/QL184SPG entries above as if it were a fifth SWL column -- it is
|
||
the mechanical ultimate the shaded reinforced-tension column is capped
|
||
at, nothing more.
|
||
|
||
4:1 SWL -- the standard shear safety factor printed on
|
||
the table heading for both shear columns.
|
||
2.66:1 SWL -- printed as a second, LOWER-factor column on
|
||
the same rows, with this footnote verbatim:
|
||
"A shear safety factor of 2.66:1 can be used
|
||
at the discretion of the engineer for
|
||
one-time lifts." It is not the default; it
|
||
is a narrower allowance a designer opts into.
|
||
|
||
---- IDENTITY CHECKS (asserted at landing, hold on all 4 rows) ---
|
||
|
||
2.66:1 SWL Shear Parallel / 4:1 SWL Shear Parallel = 1.50 (= 4 / 2.66)
|
||
6900/4600 = 1.500 -- 5775/3850 = 1.500 -- 6600/4400 = 1.500 --
|
||
5175/3450 = 1.500
|
||
4:1 SWL Reinforced Tension = ultimate_mechanical_tension_lb / 4, on
|
||
every row below (all four are shaded / mechanically limited):
|
||
64000 / 4 = 16000, matches all four rows' reinforced_tension_4_1_lb.
|
||
|
||
---- NOT LANDED, deliberately (judge's flags, 2026-09-01) --------
|
||
|
||
- Corner distance / minimum anchor spacing: the p50 insulated-panel
|
||
matrix carries neither column, unlike the ordinary erection-anchor
|
||
capacity tables on pdf p35-46. Do not borrow QLPD's
|
||
`min_spacing_rule` here -- it is a different table on a different
|
||
page for a different QL sub-family.
|
||
- Rows at any concrete strength other than 4,500 psi -- QL184G and
|
||
QL184SPG have no rows at any other basis_fc_psi on this page.
|
||
- A PSI -> TL -> D bend-detail lookup subtable for Bend Detail A: the
|
||
page prints one only for Bend Detail C (whose rows here are
|
||
QL217SPG, not QL184*). Detail A's own illustration carries only
|
||
"30 deg" and the label "TL", with no numbers printed on it. The
|
||
`bottom_bend_tl_in` / `top_bend_tl_in` columns below are NOT that
|
||
subtable -- they are the capacity matrix's own per-row columns and
|
||
are landed as printed, including where the bend detail is A.
|
||
|
||
## catalogue.rebar
|
||
|
||
---------------------------------------------------------------- rebar
|
||
|
||
ONE NUMBER FOR EVERY SIZE, AND IT IS A FALLBACK -- read only for a bar
|
||
size no layer has listed. Will, 2026-08-30: "rebars come in 40ft stock.
|
||
unless overwritten by other knowledge, all rebars pieces must be less
|
||
than 40ft." That is a sound industry default and it is not the answer:
|
||
REAL STOCK IS PER BAR SIZE, and the small sizes are commonly nothing like
|
||
40 ft. One producer's stock list, read 2026-08-30, gives #3 at 23'-4" and
|
||
#4 at 20', with 40' from #5 up.
|
||
|
||
Which means a check comparing every bar against this number passes a
|
||
30 ft #4 that its plant cannot cut from 20 ft stock -- a false OK on a
|
||
real defect. The per-size table is `rebar.stock_by_size` and it is PLANT
|
||
knowledge: which sizes a producer stocks, and how long, is that
|
||
producer's, not the trade's, so it is never written here. Resolution
|
||
order is per-size first, this number only if the size is unlisted, and
|
||
NOTHING if neither -- see `knowledge.rebar_stock()`.
|
||
|
||
## catalogue.rebar.astm_grades
|
||
|
||
---- what an ASTM designation says about yield strength -------------
|
||
|
||
PUBLIC, and it belongs here rather than in a plant file for the same
|
||
reason a lifter's rating does: this is what the standard says, the same
|
||
for everyone who buys the bar.
|
||
|
||
THE DESIGNATION DOES NOT DETERMINE fy, and reading it as if it did is
|
||
the trap this block exists to close. A stock list saying "A615" has
|
||
told you nothing about strength.
|
||
|
||
grades_ksi the grades the current standard defines
|
||
default_fy_ksi what to assume when nothing states the grade, or
|
||
NULL where no assumption is defensible
|
||
|
||
`rebar_fy()` always reports which of the two its answer came from, so a
|
||
default can never be mistaken for a stated fact. Where default_fy_ksi
|
||
is null the caller gets None and must stand down and say why. Nothing
|
||
anywhere quietly falls back to 60.
|
||
|
||
A PLANT THAT STATES ITS OWN STOCK MATERIAL OUTRANKS THIS. "This plant
|
||
stocks A706 Grade 60" is an assertion about a plant; "A706 usually
|
||
means Grade 60" is what the designation tends to mean. They can be the
|
||
same number and they are not the same claim, so the plant layer's
|
||
`rebar.stock_material` is consulted first and `rebar_fy()` reports
|
||
`plant stock` rather than `astm default` when it answers.

## catalogue.slotted_inserts
|
||
|

------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
SLOTTED INSERTS -- JVI PSA. Catalogue 2016-5, read 2026-08-31.
|
||
------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
A slotted insert is cast into a panel and receives a strap anchor that
|
||
ties the panel back to a steel or concrete frame. It is NOT a lifting
|
||
insert and nothing in `inserts:` above applies to it: those are rated
|
||
for a crane pulling a piece out of a form, these for a wind and gravity
|
||
connection that has to tolerate erection tolerance, which is what the
|
||
SLOT is for.
|
||
|
||
WHY PUBLIC. Manufacturer catalogue data -- one manufacturer, one product
|
||
line, the same for everyone who buys it. It identifies no client, no job
|
||
and no producer, which is the whole test for this file.
|
||
|
||
---- THE ONE THING A READER MUST NOT DO WITH THESE NUMBERS --------
|
||
|
||
`ultimate_pull_out_lb` and `ultimate_shear_lb` are ULTIMATES. The page
|
||
prints them under the headings "ULTIMATE PULL OUT CAPACITY" and
|
||
"ULTIMATE SHEAR CAPACITY", and no safety factor appears anywhere in the
|
||
catalogue -- not in a heading, not in a footnote, not on the test-report
|
||
list. That is the opposite of the `inserts:` block above, where every
|
||
`working_load_lb` is a published 4:1 SWL with the factor already inside
|
||
it.
|
||
|
||
So `safety_factors` here is NULL WITH THE REASON, and it is null in the
|
||
way this file's own preamble demands: a part with no factor of its own
|
||
is NOT judged on an ultimate rating, it is named as unjudged. Dividing
|
||
these by the 4.0 the disk anchors publish would be borrowing one
|
||
manufacturer's factor for another manufacturer's part, which is exactly
|
||
the failure `catalogue.safety_factors` was emptied to prevent.
|
||
|
||
The values are also printed as INEQUALITIES -- ">13,400 lbs.", not
|
||
"13,400 lbs." -- i.e. minimum guarantees, not test means. `_stated_as`
|
||
carries that so a report can print the page's own claim.
|
||
|
||
## catalogue.slotted_inserts.edge_distance
|
||
|
||
---- EDGE DISTANCE, AND IT IS DIRECTIONAL -----------------------
|
||
|
||
This is the fact a one-number edge check would get wrong. The page
|
||
prints TWO minimums and they are not "standard" and "reinforced" --
|
||
both are the unreinforced minimum, measured in two different
|
||
directions, and the drawing shows both cases:
|
||
|
||
* an insert with its slot VERTICAL: 6" up to the top edge,
|
||
10" across to the side edge;
|
||
* an insert with its slot HORIZONTAL: 10" up to the top edge,
|
||
6" across to the side edge.
|
||
|
||
The invariant is the same in both: 6 in. is measured ALONG the slot's
|
||
long axis and 10 in. PERPENDICULAR to it. Verbatim: "The minimum edge
|
||
distance without the use of additional reinforcing steel is 6" and 10"
|
||
as shown in the illustration. The edge distance can be reduced if
|
||
extra reinforcement is installed (PSA Test Report #2)."
|
||
|
||
A check that takes 6 as "the minimum" passes an insert 6 in. from the
|
||
edge the page wants 10 in. from, and it does it on exactly half the
|
||
orientations.
|
||
|
||
## catalogue.slotted_inserts.unreinforced_top_edge_reduction
|
||
|
||
---- THE 25% REDUCTION, AND ITS ACTUAL CONDITION ----------------
|
||
|
||
Verbatim from the note under the strap-anchor connection figure:
|
||
"NOTE: Reduce ultimate load by 25% if unreinforced insert is placed at
|
||
top edge of panel. Added reinforcement allows insert to attain full
|
||
pull-out capacity (PSA Test Report #2)."
|
||
|
||
THE CONDITION IS NARROWER THAN "AN UNREINFORCED EDGE". It is an
|
||
unreinforced insert AT THE TOP EDGE of the panel. An unreinforced
|
||
insert in the field of the panel is not covered by this sentence, and
|
||
reading it as a general unreinforced-edge penalty would apply a 25%
|
||
cut where the page does not ask for one -- conservative, but wrong,
|
||
and wrong in a way nobody can trace back to a page.
|
||
|
||
## catalogue.slotted_inserts.models
|
||
|
||
---- the models --------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
Two series, three models each. The series differ in LENGTH and in
|
||
ADJUSTMENT RANGE; within a series the models differ in DEPTH, and
|
||
pull-out rises with depth while shear does not move at all.
|
||
|
||
The 4500 and 6000 rows with the same last two digits publish IDENTICAL
|
||
capacities (4525 and 6025 both >13,400 / >20,000). So the series is
|
||
chosen for adjustment, not for strength, and a selector that ranked
|
||
6000 above 4500 on capacity would be ranking on a tie.
|
||
|
||
`available_adjustment_in` is the F dimension on the dimensional
|
||
sketch; note it DROPS on the deepest model of each series (2-1/8 from
|
||
2-7/8, and 3-5/8 from 4-3/8) -- the deepest insert is the strongest
|
||
and the least adjustable, which is the trade-off the table exists to
|
||
show.
|
||
|
||
## catalogue.slotted_inserts.strap_anchors
|
||
|
||
---- the strap anchor, which is the other half of the connection --
|
||
|
||
THE SHEAR CAPACITY OF THE CONNECTION IS THE STRAP'S, NOT THE INSERT'S,
|
||
once the load is eccentric -- and every real connection is eccentric,
|
||
because the strap stands off the panel face. The insert's >20,000 lb
|
||
is the insert; these are what a 2 in. wide welded strap delivers at
|
||
the eccentricity it is actually installed at, and at 3 in. that is
|
||
11.3 kips, a little over half the insert's rating.
|
||
|
||
Two things follow that a bare insert table would hide: the governing
|
||
number is usually the strap's, and it depends on a dimension
|
||
(eccentricity) nobody records on a ticket.
|
||
|
||
## catalogue.shear_grid
|
||
|
||
------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
SHEAR GRID -- C-GRID carbon-fibre grid for insulated wall panels.
|
||
------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
A shear grid crosses the insulation of a sandwich panel and transfers
|
||
HORIZONTAL SHEAR between the two wythes, which is what makes the panel
|
||
act partly composite. It does the same structural job as the discrete
|
||
connectors under `connectors:` below and it is a different object -- a
|
||
continuous sheet rather than a set of pins -- so its capacity is a SHEAR
|
||
FLOW, force per inch of grid, not a force per part.
|
||
|
||
WHY PUBLIC. This is published manufacturer test data: Altus's own
|
||
double-shear programme for C-GRID, reproduced as Table 4.1 in a 2022
|
||
C-GRID insulated-wall-panel design deck. It names a manufacturer and a
|
||
product and nothing else -- no client, no job, no producer.
|
||
|
||
---- WHAT `recommended_nominal_pli` IS, EXACTLY ------------------
|
||
|
||
The table publishes three columns and only the third is a design value.
|
||
The page's own footnotes, verbatim:
|
||
|
||
** "Maximum is 1.5 times average based on VQ/I shear on the
|
||
rectangular test specimens."
|
||
*** "The recommended design value has been taken as the average of
|
||
the 'average test value' and 'maximum minus 3 standard
|
||
deviations.'"
|
||
**** "Single test for each spacing. Standard deviation is across
|
||
tests." (marked on POLY ISO)
|
||
|
||
So `recommended_nominal_pli` = round( (average + max_minus_3sd) / 2 ),
|
||
rounded half up -- and that identity holds on all 37 rows, which is how
|
||
this transcription was checked: every row reproduces its own third
|
||
column from its first two.
|
||
|
||
THE SECOND COLUMN IS "MAXIMUM MINUS 3 STANDARD DEVIATIONS", NOT PLUS.
|
||
It is smaller than the average on eight rows (XPS 2"/12" is 212 avg
|
||
against 178), which is only possible for a minus. An earlier reading of
|
||
this table as "Maximum + 3 Std. Dev." inverted the sign and, with it,
|
||
what the column is for.
|
||
|
||
---- AND THESE ARE NOMINAL, NOT FACTORED -------------------------
|
||
|
||
No phi is applied here and none may be applied here. Which phi a
|
||
designer puts on a grid design value depends on the CHECK (an ultimate
|
||
in-place check and a stripping check do not use the same one) and on the
|
||
INSULATION (smooth XPS carries an extra one). Those are design practice
|
||
and they live in a plant layer, not in a catalogue.
|
||
|
||
## catalogue.shear_grid.c_grid.shear_flow
|
||
|
||
---- the table ------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
Keyed insulation type -> thickness (in) -> grid spacing (in).
|
||
Units: pounds per inch of grid (pli). Thickness and spacing keys are
|
||
the page's own, so a lookup is an exact match and an unlisted pair
|
||
has NO value rather than an interpolated one -- these are test
|
||
results at discrete spacings and the trend is not monotonic (XPS
|
||
sand-blasted 2 in. runs 308 / 599 / 528 across 12 / 24 / 48 in.),
|
||
so interpolating between them would invent numbers the programme
|
||
did not measure.
|
||
|
||
## connectors
|
||
|
||
==========================================================================
|
||
CONNECTORS -- what ties the two wythes of an insulated panel together.
|
||
==========================================================================
|
||
|
||
Owner, 2026-08-31: "增加一个公共知识，connector 指的是穿越 insulation, 把两层
|
||
混凝土链接起来的东西 ... 公共知识应该有 connector 包含：HK Composites (ST50)，
|
||
而厂知识应该有 R80=HK Composites (ST50)。"
|
||
|
||
WHAT A CONNECTOR IS. An insulated (sandwich) wall panel is two concrete
|
||
wythes with a layer of insulation between them. A CONNECTOR is the part
|
||
that CROSSES THE INSULATION and ties the two wythes together. Without
|
||
enough of them the wythes are two slabs travelling in company, which is a
|
||
structural condition and not a drafting one.
|
||
|
||
THIS IS THE PUBLIC HALF: the concept, and the PRODUCTS -- manufacturer and
|
||
designation, the same wherever they are bought. The plant's own part
|
||
numbers and the mapping onto these products are PLANT knowledge
|
||
(`connectors.catalogue_alias`), exactly as `lifters.catalogue_alias` maps a
|
||
plant's insert number onto `catalogue.inserts`. Same shape, same reason.
|
||
|
||
CAPACITIES AND EDGE DISTANCES SHIPPED NULL AND THE CAPACITIES ARE NOW IN.
|
||
The owner: "我回头再给你找他们的 capacity 加入公共知识" -- and on 2026-08-30 he
|
||
captured the manufacturer's own two product pages. Every capacity below is
|
||
read off those pages, and every one of them is an ULTIMATE (see
|
||
`safety_factors` below). What is STILL null is a WORKING LOAD and, for
|
||
every designation but one, a minimum edge distance: a rating nobody has
|
||
read is not a rating, and the checks that need one stand down naming the
|
||
missing datum rather than borrowing a number from another product. Dormant
|
||
and loud (PROJECT.md 3.2): the shape is right, the value is null, and the
|
||
reason is written beside it.
|
||
|
||
TWO SYSTEMS, AND THEY ARE NOT A RANGE OF ONE PRODUCT. The manufacturer
|
||
publishes a STANDARD (non-composite) line and a CA (composite-action) line,
|
||
and the difference is a STRUCTURAL DESIGN BASIS, not a size: the Standard
|
||
system is designed so the two wythes move independently and the ties flex,
|
||
the CA system so the two wythes act together and a thinner panel can be
|
||
built. `design_basis` carries it on every entry, because a tie chosen for
|
||
one basis is not a substitute for a tie chosen for the other -- and
|
||
nothing here decides which basis a given panel was designed on. That is a
|
||
statement about the panel, not about the part.
|
||
|
||
ST50 AND ST100 ARE TWO DIFFERENT PRODUCTS AND ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE.
|
||
ST50 is the owner's example pairing for the plant's R80; ST100 is
|
||
evidenced twice on this job -- in the design summary (`HK ST100'S @1'-4"
|
||
O.C.`) and on the model's own connector type. Nothing here folds them
|
||
together, and a capacity that arrives for one may not be read onto the
|
||
other.
|
||
|
||
## connectors.design_bases
|
||
|
||
---- THE TWO DESIGN BASES, IN THE VENDOR'S OWN WORDS ------------------
|
||
|
||
This is a STRUCTURAL-BEHAVIOUR CLAIM MADE BY THE MANUFACTURER, and it is
|
||
recorded as that and not as an engineering conclusion of this tool's.
|
||
It is here rather than in a plant file because it is a property of the
|
||
PRODUCT LINE, published on the vendor's own page, and it is the same
|
||
wherever the part is bought.
|
||
|
||
WHY IT MATTERS MORE THAN A NUMBER. Whether a sandwich panel's two
|
||
wythes act together decides which section a bending calculation is
|
||
allowed to use, and it is the single assumption that makes a
|
||
sandwich-panel handling or gravity check either right or nonsense. The
|
||
tie a panel is built with is EVIDENCE about that assumption -- strong
|
||
evidence, and still not the same thing as the designer's own statement.
|
||
Nothing in this tool may conclude "this panel is non-composite" from a
|
||
part number alone; it may say "the ties on this panel are from a line
|
||
the manufacturer designs for non-composite behaviour", which is a
|
||
different sentence and the only one the evidence supports.
|
||
|
||
## connectors.product_line_no_published_capacity
|
||
|
||
---- THE MODEL NUMBERS THAT HAVE NO PUBLISHED TABLE -------------------
|
||
|
||
Both pages list their full product line and then tabulate only three
|
||
designations each. The rest are real, orderable products with NO
|
||
published capacity anywhere on the page -- so they are listed as
|
||
EXISTING, with nothing else claimed about them. Listing them is not
|
||
decoration: it is what stops a reader meeting a `DP38` or a `CA125` on a
|
||
ticket and concluding the mark is a typo. Both pages add: "All ... Ties
|
||
can be custom designed per project" and unlisted products are a call to
|
||
their engineer.
|
||
|
||
NOTHING BELOW MAY BE INTERPOLATED. CA125 sits between CA100 and CA150 in
|
||
length and its capacity is NOT between theirs -- the CA table's shear
|
||
falls with length while its tension is flat, so a linear guess would be
|
||
wrong in two directions at once and confident in both.
|
||
|
||
## connectors.safety_factors
|
||
|
||
---- THE SAFETY FACTOR THAT IS NOT ON EITHER PAGE --------------------
|
||
|
||
Said once for every connector above, in the same shape as
|
||
`slotted_inserts.safety_factors`, and for the same reason.
|
||
|
||
EVERY PUBLISHED CONNECTOR FIGURE IS AN ULTIMATE. The Standard page's
|
||
columns read "Ultimate Tensile/Pullout", "Shear Strength" and "Ultimate
|
||
Panel Shear Capacity/Tie"; the CA page's read "Ultimate Tension" and
|
||
"Ultimate Shear". NO SAFETY FACTOR APPEARS ANYWHERE ON EITHER PAGE --
|
||
not in a heading, not in a footnote, not in the test citations. That is
|
||
the opposite of `inserts:`, where every `working_load_lb` is a published
|
||
4:1 SWL with the factor already inside it.
|
||
|
||
So a working load cannot be derived here, and the 4.0 the disk anchors
|
||
publish belongs to a different manufacturer's parts and may not be
|
||
borrowed. A check that needs an allowable stands down naming this key.
|
||
|
||
THE 5% FRACTILE IS NOT A FACTOR EITHER. The CA page's fractile column is
|
||
a statistical lower bound on the same ultimate test population at 95%
|
||
confidence -- it narrows the uncertainty in the ultimate, it does not
|
||
convert it into a service-level capacity.
|
||
|
||
## connectors.edge_reference
|
||
|
||
---- WHICH EDGE THE DISTANCE IS MEASURED TO, added 2026-08-31 ---------
|
||
|
||
Owner, verbatim: "检测 edge 检测的不是 concrete edge，而是 insulation
|
||
edge，所以如果 insulation 有 solid zone 被 cut through 而不只是 recess
|
||
的话，那么 edge 就是被 cut 之后的 edge。如果只是 recess，则按照原来的
|
||
edge 来算。"
|
||
|
||
HE STATED IT AS HOW THE MEASUREMENT WORKS, not as one plant's habit,
|
||
which is why it is here in the public layer beside what a connector IS
|
||
rather than in a plant file. A connector ties two wythes together
|
||
THROUGH the insulation; where there is no insulation there is nothing
|
||
for it to do, so the boundary that matters to it is the insulation's,
|
||
and the concrete edge is a coincidence of the two agreeing on a normal
|
||
piece.
|
||
|
||
## checklist
|
||
|
||
==========================================================================
|
||
THE MASTER CHECKLIST -- every question this tool can ask of a shop ticket.
|
||
==========================================================================
|
||
|
||
Owner, 2026-08-31: "做一个总的 checklist 放 public knowledge 里面，然后 plant
|
||
里面做一层映射，job 里面用静音按键去控制。"
|
||
|
||
Three layers, and each owns exactly one thing:
|
||
|
||
PUBLIC (here) WHAT THE QUESTIONS ARE. The universe, trade-wide. Every
|
||
`id` below is a STABLE IDENTITY and nothing renumbers it.
|
||
PLANT WHICH questions that plant asks OF WHICH KIND OF MEMBER,
|
||
in what order, under what numbers
|
||
(`checklists.profiles`). A wall panel and a column do
|
||
not get the same checklist, and that is the insight this
|
||
architecture was built on.
|
||
JOB the mute buttons. Presentation, per job, per piece kind
|
||
-- `checks.muted`, edited from the Project Config screen.
|
||
|
||
WHY THIS IS DATA AND THE CHECKS ARE STILL CODE. What EXISTS, how it is
|
||
worded, and what grade it carries is publishable knowledge about shop
|
||
tickets -- the same at every plant, and correctable without a release.
|
||
What ANSWERS a question is a check function, because a claim has to be
|
||
able to be WRONG IN A REVIEWABLE WAY: it needs a skip probe that says why
|
||
it stayed silent, a finding code, and a test. A YAML-defined row with no
|
||
function behind it would have a number, a sentence, and no way to fail --
|
||
a checklist row that always looks fine, which is this project's cardinal
|
||
failure with a friendly editor on top.
|
||
|
||
So `checks:` below NAMES A FUNCTION IN `vibe.ticketchecks`, and the pairing
|
||
is enforced: a master entry naming a function that does not exist, or a
|
||
registered check function no master entry names, FAILS THE SUITE. That test
|
||
is load-bearing in a way nothing was when this list was a Python tuple --
|
||
a tuple could not drift from the code beside it, and this can.
|
||
|
||
---- THE FIELDS ----------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
id STABLE. Frozen 2026-08-31 as the numbers this tool had
|
||
always printed. See below.
|
||
name what the row says on the report
|
||
grade A pure code | B code plus a plant fact | C code narrows,
|
||
a person decides | D a person reads the drawing
|
||
owner_codes the finding codes that answer this row, or null
|
||
not_run_reason set ONLY on a row a person owns by design -- the reason
|
||
string is what makes it FOR ENGINEER rather than unbuilt
|
||
(see ticketpage.CHECKLIST_FOR_ENGINEER)
|
||
checks one function name, a list of them, or null
|
||
|
||
---- THE IDs ARE FROZEN, AND WHY THAT MATTERS MORE THAN IT LOOKS ---------
|
||
|
||
These read like numbers because they WERE the numbers. A plant may now
|
||
renumber its own checklist in one YAML edit, and the number it shows is a
|
||
DIFFERENT THING from the id here.
|
||
|
||
Everything that has ever named a check names it by the id: the owner's
|
||
mutes, `checks.not_applicable`, the QNA records, `qc-run.json` and its
|
||
consumers, and the suite. A renumbering that reached them would either
|
||
break those references or -- far worse -- leave them working and pointing
|
||
at a different question.
|
||
|
||
So a reference is now QUALIFIED: `<plant>-<member kind> <number>` names a
|
||
position on one plant's board (`sample_plant-wall_panel 3.3`), and a BARE number
|
||
means a master id. Every ruling written before 2026-08-31 cites bare
|
||
numbers and they all still mean exactly what they meant: master ids.
|
||
|
||
REMOVING an id is a DELETION, not a renumbering, and it orphans every
|
||
ruling that names it. A retired id is never reused.
|
||
|
||
## catalogue.development_length
|
||
|
||
---------------------------------------------------------- development_length
|
||
|
||
ACI 318-19 Chapter 25, §25.4 (development of reinforcement) and §25.5
|
||
(splices). PUBLIC for the same reason `catalogue.rebar.astm_grades` is:
|
||
this is the model code every producer and every job works under, not a
|
||
plant's or a job's own fact, and it identifies nobody.
|
||
|
||
Read from the code's own text layer (`knowledge/ACI318-19-ch25_decoded.txt`,
|
||
cross-checked against the cleaned extraction `knowledge/ACI318-19-ch25.md`),
|
||
not from a producer's manual -- so the caution that governs the MC drop
|
||
(a 42% page-error rate on cheap-model extraction notes) does not apply the
|
||
same way here: there was no independently-audited extraction pass, but
|
||
every equation and table landed below was re-read against the raw text
|
||
layer directly by the agent that landed it, the same discipline the
|
||
library RUNBOOK asks of a landing pass. Full extraction, confidence marks
|
||
and the raw-text-fragment reasoning: `knowledge/library/notes/ACI318-19-ch25-development.md`.
|
||
|
||
---- WHAT THE VERIFICATION PASS CHANGED FROM THE EXTRACTION NOTE ----------
|
||
|
||
The note flagged four spots `[UNREADABLE]` or `[B]` because no rendered
|
||
page image was available and the PDF's own equation font renders a stacked
|
||
fraction as an unordered list of glyphs (numerator and denominator symbols
|
||
interleaved, not left-to-right). Re-reading the raw text layer directly
|
||
resolved three of the four, because this document's fragmentation is
|
||
CONSISTENT: every equation's glyph-list contains exactly the symbols the
|
||
known Code equation requires, no more and no fewer -- which is how the
|
||
note's own Table 25.4.2.3 reconstruction was already confirmed (via the
|
||
`psi_s = 0.8` cross-check). Applying the same method elsewhere:
|
||
|
||
- **Table 25.4.2.3, "No. 6 and smaller / other cases" cell** -- the note
|
||
had this at confidence B (self-consistent reconstruction). The raw text
|
||
literally contains the digits `3`, `50` (and `3`, `40` for the No. 7
|
||
and larger column) in the fraction's glyph list, the same way the
|
||
favourable-row cells contain `25` and `20` outright. Landed at A.
|
||
- **`wwr.deformed.psi_w.case_b` (5*db/s)** -- the note left both (a) and
|
||
(b) of §25.4.6.3 as one unreadable pair. (b)'s glyph list contains only
|
||
`5`, `db`, `s` -- unambiguous. Landed at A.
|
||
- **`wwr.plain.formula` (§25.4.7.2(b))** -- the note could not confirm
|
||
whether `db` and/or `As` appeared in the numerator. The glyph list
|
||
contains `fy`, `f'c` (twice, matching the two-fraction-group bracket
|
||
structure `(fy/(lambda*sqrt(fc))) * (Ab/s)`), `Ab` (an "A" with a "b"
|
||
subscript, not a bare "As"), and `s` -- no `db` anywhere. Landed as
|
||
`0.27*(fy*Ab)/(s*lambda*sqrt(fc))` at A, correcting the note's
|
||
uncertain "As" to "Ab" (area of the individual wire being developed).
|
||
- **`wwr.deformed.psi_w.case_a` ((fy-35000)/fy)** -- NOT fully resolved.
|
||
The glyph list has exactly two occurrences of `fy`, one `35,000`, and
|
||
one subtraction, which fits `(fy - 35000)/fy` with nothing left over --
|
||
but unlike the three facts above, there is no independent cross-check
|
||
(no worked example, no self-consistency test) confirming the numerator
|
||
and denominator are assigned the way I read them. Landed at confidence
|
||
B with the reasoning in the comment, exactly like the note's own
|
||
Table 25.4.2.3 cells were landed at B before the psi_s cross-check
|
||
existed. Re-verify against a rendered page before treating it as settled.
|
||
|
||
**A genuine error, corrected**: the note filed the "debonded strand
|
||
requires double `ld`" rule under §25.4.8.3. The Code text puts it at
|
||
§25.4.8.1(b) instead (conditioned on "bonding does not extend to the end
|
||
of the member AND design includes tension at service loads in the
|
||
precompressed tension zone" -- the AND is how the zero-tension exception
|
||
is already built into the Code sentence, not a separate rule). §25.4.8.3
|
||
is a different, related provision: it permits embedment SHORTER than
|
||
`ld` at a section, provided the design strand stress there does not
|
||
exceed the bilinear Eq. 25.4.8.1 relationship. The "twice `ld`" language
|
||
and the explicit zero-tension exception the note quoted are R25.4.8.3
|
||
COMMENTARY explaining the §25.4.8.1(b) rule -- not a second Code
|
||
requirement. `strand.correction` in the YAML records this so nobody
|
||
re-derives the same confusion from the note.
|
||
|
||
Everything else in the block -- Table 25.4.2.3's favourable-row cells,
|
||
all four modification-factor tables (25.4.2.5, 25.4.3.2, 25.4.4.3,
|
||
25.4.9.3), the hooked-bar and headed-bar equations, the compression
|
||
equation, the excess-reinforcement-reduction rule and its six exclusions
|
||
(including the note's own correction of "D, E, or F" to the Code's actual
|
||
"C, D, E, or F" for Seismic Design Categories -- confirmed directly off
|
||
the raw text), the tension and compression lap-splice tables, and the
|
||
WWR lap-splice provisions -- was re-read against the raw text layer
|
||
verbatim and matches the note exactly. Confidence A throughout except
|
||
`wwr.deformed.psi_w.case_a`, marked as above.
|
||
|
||
---- WHY NOTHING WAS LEFT OUT ---------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
The note's own "must not land" list named three items; two are now
|
||
confirmed (Table 25.4.2.3's sub-#6 cells, the WWR-plain formula) and the
|
||
third (`psi_w.case_a`) landed anyway at confidence B, which the library
|
||
RUNBOOK permits (A and B may land; only C and D must not). Nothing in
|
||
this pass was read as ambiguous, contradictory, or a guess, so nothing
|
||
went to the owner's question list.
|
