of ASTM Spec. A 15 and deformations shall conform to ASTM Spec. A 305.
All bars shall be round, deformed, except No. 2 (1/4) . welded wire
fabric or mesh shall conform to the basic requirements of ASTM Spec.
A 185.
C. Placement. Reinforcement steel shall be cut to length, bent
and placed as required by the plans and the latest methods of practice
approved by the Concrete Reinforcing Steel Institute (CRST) . Where

effect. The Engineer at any time shall have the right to reject the
method in use if in hie opinion more satisfactory results can be ob-
tained with some other device or procedure. In general, form ties
of twisted wires will not be permitted and must not be attempted with-
out first having secured the approval of the Engineer.
j. Btmova.L of Forms- In the determination of the time for re-
moval of forms, falsework and housing, consideration will be given
to the weather and other conditions influencing the setting of con-
crete, curing and materials in the mix. In general the following
periods, exclusive of days when the temp.^.rature is below 400 .,for
removal of forms may be used as a guide subject to the approval of the
Engineer.
Centering under beams 10-14 days
Floor slabs 10-14 days
Walls 12-24 hours
Columns 1-7 days
Sides of beams and ocher parts 12-24 hours
k. surface Finish All surfaces of structures, includingor cards,
exposed to view shalt be smooth formed using approved plywood
board form liner.
The appearance of all exposed concrete is of major importance.
Forms shall have a minimum cf joints and concrete shall be carefully
placed and vibrated to obtain a smooth surface, free from gravel poc-
kets, voids or segregation. At all locations requiring smooth forming,
form tie which can be broken 1/2 inch back from the finished faces
shall be used. Forms shall be removed with care and all corners, etc.,
protected. While ti.e concrete is still green voids and form tie
pockets shall be packed with grout, joint projections ground level,
and surfaces then rubbed and sicked to a smooth even finish. This
work shall begin within :orty eight hours after removal of forms.
1. Inserts and Fastening Dgvices- In cooperation with all trades
and other contractors all irserts and fastening devices such as anchcrs,
conduits, water stops, nailing strips etc. ,
hangers, ties, bolts,
shall be properly located and secured in position before concrete is
poured.
m. Construction Joints. The location of construction joints not
shown on the drawings shall be approved by the Engineer. Prior to
placing new concrete against any previously poured concrete, the lat-
ter shall be cleaned of all loose concrete, debris and laitance,
roughened if required and thorougnly soaked and covered w,.th a layer
of grout.
Rc'-06
below the amount specified,
i- Forms. Forms may be of wood or metal and shall be built
accurately to provide the shaoe, lines,and dimensions re;;,i�cj for the
finished concrete. They shall be strongly braced an- tied so as to
maintain their position, shape and tightness, without bulging or
becomming displaced during the process of pouring concrete, and do-
signed to withstand the effect of vibration of the concrete. If de-
formation shall occur at any point when concrete is placed in a surface
iwhich will be exposed permanently in the finished structure the con-
crete so disfigured shall be removed to the satisfaction of the Engineer.
Form lumber shall be of good quality, smoothly finished and free from
defects that might injure the appearance cf concrete formed against it.
'sxcept as noted below, all exterior surfaces of walls which will
be expos-d permanently when grading is ccmpleted and the structure
finished as required by the plans shall be formed against plywood not
less than 5/3 inch thick, or against thin plywood which may be used
as a lining for more substantial firms. This requirement with respect
to forms shall be applicable to surfaces whim normally may be covered
by water except that some such surfaces may be excluded specifically
by the plans. wherever practicable, wall panels shall be formed by
using one piece of plywood. Plywood used for forms shall be thoroughly
oiled or soaped to prevent raising of the grain when the surface becomes
wet. For interior faces of circular walls tongue and groove lumber lined
with plywood shall be used. Curved exteriors of walls may also be
formed against well-matched narrow-width tongue and groove lumber if the
Contractor shall so desire, and if the Engineer shall approve as not
detrimental to the appearance of the finished structure. Where surfaces
are to be given d special finish which is not affected by the forms,
one-inch boards of ur -orm widths SI .i may be used for forms. All
joints between adjac pieces of form lumber shall be cicsely fitted,
so that lines in the --acrete shall not be disagreeably ^vident where
the boards have met. Care shall be taken to keep the grain of plywood
in the same direction in adjacent pieces if to do otherwise might pro-
duce an unpleasing surface. Special treatment of forms shall be given
attention if it is required by the plans. Forms shall ne oiled or
thoroughly wetted just before placing concrete in them. No forms shall
be removed until the concrete has the strength to resist all possibility
of damage to it.
Use 1/2-inch 450 bevel inserts 'at all inside and outsiue corners
excejxt where protected by steel edgings.
The use and removal of form ties, suc' as bolts, or other de-
vices for Loldi g the forms in place, shall be Mbject to approval
by the Engineer. Any such approval will have special reference to the
effect of such use on the appearance of the finished structure and there
must be definite assurance that form-tying will not have a detrimental
RC-05
e
a vertical bulkhead. Feathering out to less than six (6) inches will
not be permitted. Where placing operations would involve the dropping
of concrete vertically from o height of six (6) feet or more through
completed forms, concrete so placed shall be discharged into hoppers
feeding into flexible drop chutes. The free drop of the concrete mix
from chutes shall be not higher than two (2) feet. where conditions
warrant this procedure may be altered by the Engineer upon request of
the Contractor.
Concrete shall be thoroughly compacted by puddling and spading
with suitable tools or by the proper used of mechanical vibrators. It
shall be worked thoroughly around the reinforcement and embedded fix-
tures and into the corners of the forms. where th,> total volume of
concrete on a project exceeds 15 cubic yarns vibrators shall be used.
Clogging the forms with excessive depth of concrete which may prevent
proper compacting shall be avoided. Each layer of concrete is to be
regarded as a unit of masonry to be laid and worked before the suc-
ceeding layer can be superimposed in the process of monolithic const-
ruction.
Special attention must be given to the need for securing ex-
posed surfaces which will not require patching after the forms are
removed. The Contractor shall at all times have an ample number of
experienced puddlers to insure a perfect and uniform contact between
concrete and form boards, and, if necessary and permitted by the
Engineer, holes must be made through the forms to permit proper and
effective placing, distributions and compaction of the concrete.
Suitable and safe runways must be provided for use while placing
concrete. If the Engineer belives that any temporary structure is
unsatisfactory or unsafe, he shall have the right to order its re-
moval or reconstruction but his failure to do so shall not relieve the
Contractor in any way from his obligations in these respects.
S. Curing. Exposed surfaces of concrete, horizontal and vertical,
shall be kept wet constantly for at least ten (10) days after being
dQposited unless otherwise specifieu on the drawings or as ordered by
,he Engineer. Surfaces shall be covered with burlap or other blan-
keting material to retain the moisture during this period. In gene-
ral the curing of concrete by the constant application of water is
perferable but this shah not preclude the use of other surface treat-
mente where conditions make it necessary or particularly desirable
and in cases where the Engineer's approval has be secured.
h. Admixtures. Tb^ use of admixtures will be allowed only by
written permission of the Engineer. Admixtures used will be considered
only as a means of improving workability of the concrete and facili-
tating placement, and in no case shall the cement content be reduce
RC-6.
Removal of over wet concrete or concrete that exceeds the above maxi-
mum eluraps either before or after deposit in the forms may be required.
Concrete mixtures shall have the strength charazteristics as
specified on the plans or if the Class is not specified it shall be
Class 6 having d 28 day compressive strength of not less than 3000 psi.
Where there is a total of more than 20 cubi- yards of concrete in the
work or where the local building code requires the Contractor ball,
under the direction of the Engineer, take four test cylinders fc: each
fifty (50) cubic yards of concrete placed ( or major pour is less than
fi.fty) ; two to be cured under job conditicns and two in an approved
commercial laboratory. Two cylinders shall be tested fur compressive
strength at 7 and two at 28 days. Three copies of all test reports
shall be furnished to the Engineer.
f. Placing Concrete. water in excavation or forms must be re-
moved before concrete is deposited in them and no additional water
shall be allowed to enter while concrete is being plat ed and there-
after for so long as may be necessary to prevent damage. If concrete
is to be placed in or under water the cperification covering such
placement will appear on the plans.
Before mixirg or transporting concrete, all equipment to be used
for these operations shall be clean and before concrete is mixed ready
for placing all debris must be removed from the places where it is to
be deposited.
Concrete placement in cold weather will be permitted only under
conditions which shall meet the approval of. the Engineer and the concrete
in place shall receive sp .ciai protection. Salt, chemicals, or other
foreign materials shall not be mixed with the conrete to prevent
freezing.
Prior to placing concrete a schedule of pouring shall be given
the Engineer and shall receive his approval before concrete operations
begin. When concreting operations have begun they shall be continuous
until all material of an appropriate unit of the structure has been
pl.a=ed. suspension of operations for more than one hour will not be
permitted during a continuous pour and this limit. may be shortened on
order by the Engineer. All concrete shall be placed within 45 minutes
after it is mixed, or if ready-mixed concrete is used such concrete
shall be placed within 45 minutes from the time the truck leaves the
batching plant or from the time the conrete is actually mixed in
transit-mix trucks.
Concrete shall be placed generally in horizontal layers not more
:ban 12 inches thick except as otherwise specified. When a monolithic
layer cannot be completed in one operation, it shall he terminated with
RC-03
b. gent. Only Portland cement shall be used and it shall
conform to ASTM Spec. C 150, Type II. Tp-e I ,nay oe used upon the
approval of the Engineer or is specified elsewhere in Part IV.
c. A-:,are�j&g. Aggregate shall consist of washed sand and gravel,
No aggregate shall be used whir)' after washing contains soft, friable,
thin, flaky, elongated, or laminated particles totaling more than 3%;
shale shall not exceed 1 1/2%, and silt `.iner than All be retained on
a No. 100 sieve shall not be in excess of 2%. These percentages shall
be by weight and the aggregate amount of such deleterious materials
shall not exceed 5% by weight. No aggregate shall contain organic
matter in excess of that permitted by ASTM Spec. C.40.
Unless specifically required by the plans or elsewhere in Part IV,
coarse aggregate shall range in size from 1/4 inch to 1 1/2 inches and
shall conform to ASTM Spec. C 33: fine aggregate shall consist of sand
passing a 4-mesh siev a and shall conform to ASTM Spec. C 33. Fine
aggregate shall be well graded from coarse to fine-coarse particles
predominating with not more than 6% passing a 100-mesh sieve and not
more than 25% passing a 50-mesh sieve.
d. Measurement. Unless otherwise provided in the contract the
Contractor shall furnish and place ready-mix concrete; furnish and
place forms and care for all concrete and concrete work. The cost of
all such work, including sprinkling and curing, cleaning, bonding, em-
bedding periAament fixtures, roughening surfaces, removing laitance,
finishing and any and all labor or materials, except reinforcement,
necessary to secure concrete in conformity with these specifications
and the instructions of the Engineer shall be included in the price for
concrete or in the price for units (or unit) of construction wherein
concrete forms a part. Measurement, if a unit price is applicable,
shall be the net volume of finished structure as built in accordance
with the plans or the Engineer's instructions. Some concrete may be
used in building specific items for whin jyment is to be a lump stun
for the comp3ete unit. In such case the building of .he concrete portions
shall conform to the requirements of this section but measurement of
the volume will not be made.
e. Concrete Teat., concrete will be tested for slump and this
as a maximum m..st not exceed four (4) inches. Por the type of work
identified the slump shall be within the range indicated below:
