PART III – EXECUTION 3.01 – GENERAL

A. Clean all mixing and transportation equipment. Wet forms thoroughly. Remove all ice, excess water, mud, and other debris from within forms and from reinforcement. Notify Architect prior to placing in ample time for inspection of forms and reinforcing.

3.02 – PLACEMENT OF CONCRETE A. PRE-PLACEMENT INSPECTION

1. Before placing concrete, inspect and complete the form-work installation, reinforcing steel, and items to be embedded or cast-in. Notify other contractors to permit the installation of their work; cooperate with other trades in setting such work, as required. Thoroughly wet wood forms immediately before placing concrete, as required where form coatings are not used. Notify Architect 24 hours in advance of pouring.

B. PLACING CONCRETE IN FORMS

1. Deposit concrete in forms in horizontal layers not deeper than 18” and in a manner to avoid inclined construction joints. Maximum length of wall pour is 60’ between construction joints.


03300-6 2. Place all concrete in accordance with ACI 304 Recommended Practice for Measuring, Mixing,

Transporting and Placing Concrete, ACI 304.2R Placing Concrete by Pumping Method.

3. Deposit concrete continuously or in layers of such thickness that no concrete will be placed on concrete which has hardened sufficiently to cause the formation of seams or planes of weakness within the section. If a section cannot be placed continuously, provide construction joints as herein specified. Deposit concrete as nearly as practicable to its final location to avoid segregation due to re-handling or flowing. When being deposited, concrete shall not be allowed to fall vertical distance greater than 6’ from point of discharge to point of deposit. Provide parts in formwork if required for discharge points.

4. Consolidate placed concrete by mechanical vibrating equipment supplemented by hand-spacing, rodding or tamping. Use vibrators designed to operate with vibratory element submerged in concrete, maintain a speed of not less than 6,000 impulses per minute. Comply with ACI 309, Recommended Practice for Consolidation of Concrete.

5. Do not use vibrators to transport concrete inside of forms. Insert and withdraw vibrators vertically at uniformly spaced locations not farther than visible effectiveness of the machine. Do not insert vibrators into lower layers of concrete that have begun to set. At each insertion, limit the duration of vibration to the time necessary to consolidate the concrete and complete embedment of reinforcement and other embedded items without causing segregation of the mix.

C. PLACING CONCRETE SLABS

1. Deposit and consolidate concrete slabs in a continuous operation until the placing of a panel or section is completed.

2. Place interior slabs on grade using long-strip construction techniques or other approved method. 3. Place slabs on grade over vapor barrier. 4. Place suspended slabs in sections as large as practicable to complete finishing, within limits

acceptable to the Architect. 5. Consult with Architect with regard to limits of single placements prior to commencing work. 6. Consolidate concrete during placing operations so that concrete is thoroughly worked around

reinforcement and other embedded items and into corners. 7. Bring slab surfaces to the correct level with a straightedge and strike off. Use bull floats or darbies to

smooth the surface, leaving it free of humps or hollows. Do not disturb the slab surfaces prior to beginning finishing operations.

8. Maintain reinforcing in the proper position during concrete placement operations. All mesh shall be lifted ½ slab depth as work pouring proceeds.

D. COLD WEATHER PLACING

1. Protect concrete work from physical damage or reduced strength which could be caused by frost, freezing actions, or low temperatures, in compliance with ACI 306, Recommended Practice for Cold Weather Concreting.


03300-7

2. When air temperature has fallen to or is expected to fall below 40 degrees F., uniformly heat all water and aggregates before mixing as required to obtain a concrete mixture temperature of not less than 50 degrees F., and not more than 80 degrees F. at point of placement. When concrete is likely to be subjected to freezing temperatures within 24 hours after it has been deposited, provide temporary heating. In no case shall concrete be exposed to freezing temperatures for 72 hours after placing. Maintain concrete temperatures not less than 50 degrees F. or more than 80 degrees F. for the first three days after placing. Protect from freezing for the five days following placement.

3. Do not use frozen materials or materials containing ice or snow. Do not place concrete on frozen subgrade or on subgrade containing frozen materials.

4. Do not use calcium chloride, salt or other materials containing anti-freeze agents or chemical accelerators.

5. Do not allow carbon dioxide from heating units to contract freshly placed concrete surfaces for 48 hours. Vent all heaters outside of any enclosure.

E. HOT WATER PLACING

1. When hot weather conditions exist that would seriously impair the quality and strength of concrete, place concrete in compliance with ACI 305, recommended Practice for Hot Concreting. Do not place concrete when the air temperature is above 90 degrees F.

2. Cool ingredients before mixing to maintain concrete temperature at time of placement below 90 degrees F. Mixing water may be chilled, or chopped ice may be used to control the concrete temperature provided the water equivalent of the ice is calculated to the total amount of mixing water. Maintain concrete temperature not less than 50 degrees F. nor more than 90 degrees F. for the first three days after placing. Protect from temperatures over 90 degrees F. for the next five days.

3. Cover reinforcing steel water-soaked burlap if it becomes too hot, so that the steel temperature will not exceed the ambient air temperature immediately before embedment in concrete.

4. Wet forms thoroughly before placing concrete. 5. Do not use retarding admixtures without the written permission of the Architect.

F. CONCRETE JOINTS

1. CONSTRUCTION JOINTS: Locate as directed by Architect or as shown on the Drawings. Form the keyway. Place perpendicular to main reinforcement. Continue reinforcement through joint. Locate joint so as not to affect structural integrity or appearance of the structure. Includes joint between wall and footing.
