GOST 21780-2006 PDF

Full title and description

GOST 21780-2006 — "System of ensuring the accuracy of geometrical parameters in construction. Accuracy calculation" (Russian: ГОСТ 21780-2006 «Система обеспечения точности геометрических параметров в строительстве. Расчет точности»). The standard establishes methods for calculating and assessing the accuracy (tolerances and scatter) of geometric parameters of buildings, structures and their elements during design and preparation of working and technological documentation.

Abstract

This interstate (GOST) standard sets out the methodological principles and procedure for performing accuracy calculations for geometric parameters in construction projects. It defines terms (resulting and component parameters, calculation schemes, base, assembly level and related concepts), provides forms of basic equations for accuracy calculations, indicates accepted methods (direct and inverse problems, statistical and simplified approaches), and gives guidance on selecting critical parameters and on corrective measures when calculated accuracy does not meet functional requirements.

General information

• Publication date: Designation year 2006; introduced into force in the Russian Federation from 1 January 2008 (approved by Rosstandart by order dated 30 March 2007, No. 59-st).
• Publisher: Adopted/introduced by the Federal Agency on Technical Regulating and Metrology (Rosstandart) as an interstate GOST standard; developed by technical committee for construction standardization (ТК 465).

• Number of pages: 15 pages (standard text).

Scope

Applies to the design of buildings, structures and their elements. The standard establishes general provisions, methodological principles and the order for calculating the accuracy of geometric parameters in construction; it is intended as the basis for developing methodical documents that define specific calculation methods and features for different types of structures (including worked examples). The calculations are performed during development of working documentation and technological regulations for construction and surveying works.

Key topics and requirements

• Definitions: resulting (functional) parameters, component parameters, calculation scheme, base, assembly/collectability level and related terminology.
• Procedure to identify resulting parameters whose accuracy affects functional requirements and to determine allowable limits for those parameters.
• Construction of calculation schemes and formulation of the basic (source) equation relating resulting and component parameters.
• Selection of calculation method (direct, inverse, statistical, simplified) and formulation of accuracy equations for component and resulting parameters.
• Rules for assigning accuracy characteristics to component parameters (from standards, project/technical documentation or statistical analysis) and accounting for environmental/operational influences.
• Verification: solving direct and inverse problems, setting nominal and limit values, and corrective actions when conditions are not met (improve process accuracy, change assembly/base, revise design, allow partial assembleability and additional fitting operations).
• Guidance on simplified statistical calculations and examples for determining calculated limit deviations and assembly level.

Typical use and users

Primary users are design engineers, structural engineers, geodetic/survey specialists, construction technologists and quality/control engineers involved in producing working documentation and technological regulations. The standard is used when establishing functional tolerances, preparing assembly and survey procedures, performing pre-construction and assembly accuracy calculations, and defining acceptance/fitting operations in the project and production stages. Authorities and consultants preparing methodological guidance for construction quality control also rely on it.

Related standards

References and normative links include other GOSTs used in construction design and tolerancing (examples cited in the standard text: GOST 21.113-88, GOST 21778-81, GOST 21779-82, GOST 23615, GOST 23616, and others). The document also complements building codes and technical regulations in Russia and interstate guidance on structural assembly and surveying procedures.
