A. General: Design, erect, support, brace, and maintain formwork to support vertical and lateral, static

and dynamic loads that might be applied until concrete structure can support such loads. Construct

formwork so concrete members and structures are of correct size, shape, alignment, elevation, and

position. Maintain formwork construction tolerances complying with ACI 347.

B. Construct forms to sizes, shapes, lines, and dimensions shown and to obtain accurate alignment,

location, grades, level, and plumb work in finished structures. Provide for openings, offsets,

sinkages, keyways, recesses, moldings, rustications, reglets, chamfers, blocking, screeds,

bulkheads, anchorages and inserts, and other features required in work. Use selected materials to

obtain required finishes. Solidly butt joints and provide backup at joints to prevent leakage of

cement paste.

C. Fabricate forms for easy removal without hammering or prying against concrete surfaces. Provide

crush plates or wrecking plates where stripping may damage cast concrete surfaces. Provide top

forms for inclined surfaces where slope is too steep to place concrete with bottom forms only. Kerf

wood inserts for forming keyways, reglets, recesses, and the like, for easy removal.

D. Provide temporary openings where interior area of formwork is inaccessible for cleanout, for

inspection before concrete placement, and for placement of concrete. Securely brace temporary

openings and set tightly to forms to prevent loss of concrete mortar. Locate temporary openings in

forms at inconspicuous locations.

E. Chamfer exposed corners and edges as indicated, using wood, metal, PVC, or rubber chamfer strips

fabricated to produce uniform smooth lines and tight edge joints.

F. Provisions for Other Trades: Provide openings in concrete formwork to accommodate work of

other trades. Determine size and location of openings, recesses, and chases from trades providing

such items. Accurately place and securely support items built into forms.

G. Cleaning and Tightening: Thoroughly clean forms and adjacent surfaces to receive concrete.

Remove chips, wood, sawdust, dirt, or other debris just before concrete is placed. Retighten forms

and bracing before concrete placement as required to prevent mortar leaks and maintain proper

alignment.

3.3 PLACING REINFORCEMENT

A. General: Comply with Concrete Reinforcing Steel Institute's recommended practice for "Placing

Reinforcing Bars," for details and methods of reinforcement placement and supports and as herein

specified.

1. Avoiding cutting or puncturing vapor retarder during reinforcement placement and concreting

operations.

B. Clean reinforcement of loose rust and mill scale, earth, ice, and other materials that reduce or

destroy bond with concrete.



C. Accurately position, support, and secure reinforcement against displacement. Locate and support

reinforcing by metal chairs, runners, bolsters, spacers, and hangers, as approved by Architect.

D. Place reinforcement to obtain at least minimum coverages for concrete protection. Arrange, space,

and securely tie bars and bar supports to hold reinforcement in position during concrete placement

operations. Set wire ties so ends are directed into concrete, not toward exposed concrete surfaces.

E. Install welded wire fabric in as long lengths as practicable. Lap adjoining pieces at least one full

mesh and lace splices with wire. Offset laps of adjoining widths to prevent continuous laps in

either direction.

3.4 JOINTS

A. Construction Joints: Locate and install construction joints as indicated or, if not indicated, locate

so as not to impair strength and appearance of the structure, as acceptable to Architect.

B. Provide keyways at least 1-1/2 inches deep in construction joints in walls and slabs and between

C. Place construction joints perpendicular to main reinforcement. Continue reinforcement across

construction joints.

3.5 INSTALLATION OF EMBEDDED ITEMS

A. General: Set and build into work anchorage devices and other embedded items required for other

work that is attached to or supported by cast-in-place concrete. Use setting drawings, diagrams,

instructions, and directions provided by suppliers of items to be attached thereto.

B. Forms for Slabs: Set edge forms, bulkheads, and intermediate screed strips for slabs to obtain

required elevations and contours in finished surfaces. Provide and secure units to support screed

strips using strike-off templates or compacting- type screeds.

3.6 PREPARATION OF FORM SURFACES

A. General: Coat contact surfaces of forms with an approved, nonresidual, low-VOC, form-coating

compound before reinforcement is placed.

B. Do not allow excess form-coating material to accumulate in forms or to come into contact with in-

place concrete surfaces against which fresh concrete will be placed. Apply in compliance with

manufacturer's instructions.

3.7 CONCRETE PLACEMENT

A. Inspection: Before placing concrete, inspect and complete formwork installation, reinforcing steel,

and items to be embedded or cast in. Notify other crafts to permit installation of their work;

cooperate with other trades in setting such work.

B. General: Comply with ACI 304, "Recommended Practice for Measuring, Mixing, Transporting,

and Placing Concrete," and as herein specified.



C. Deposit concrete continuously or in layers of such thickness that no concrete will be placed on

concrete that has hardened sufficiently to cause the formation of seams or planes of weakness. If

a section cannot be placed continuously, provide construction joints as herein specified. Deposit

concrete to avoid segregation at its final location.

D. Placing Concrete in Forms: Deposit concrete in forms in horizontal layers not deeper than 24

inches and in a manner to avoid inclined construction joints. Where placement consists of several

layers, place each layer while preceding layer is still plastic to avoid cold joints.

1. Consolidate placed concrete by mechanical vibrating equipment supplemented by hand-

spading, rodding, or tamping. Use equipment and procedures for consolidation of concrete

in accordance with ACI 309.

2. Do not use vibrators to transport concrete inside forms. Insert and withdraw vibrators

vertically at uniformly spaced locations not farther than visible effectiveness of machine.

Place vibrators to rapidly penetrate placed layer and at least 6 inches into preceding layer.

Do not insert vibrators into lower layers of concrete that have begun to set. At each insertion

limit duration of vibration to time necessary to consolidate concrete and complete embedment

of reinforcement and other embedded items without causing segregation of mix.

E. Placing Concrete Slabs: Deposit and consolidate concrete slabs in a continuous operation, within

limits of construction joints, until the placing of a panel or section is completed.

1. Consolidate concrete during placing operations so that concrete is thoroughly worked around

reinforcement and other embedded items and into corners.

2. Bring slab surfaces to correct level with straightedge and strike off. Use bull floats or darbies

to smooth surface, free of humps or hollows. Do not disturb slab surfaces prior to beginning

finishing operations.

3. Maintain reinforcing in proper position during concrete placement.

F. Cold-Weather Placing: Comply with provisions of ACI 306 and as follows. Protect concrete work

from physical damage or reduced strength that could be caused by frost, freezing actions, or low

temperatures.

G. When air temperature has fallen to or is expected to fall below 40 deg F (4 deg C), uniformly heat

water and aggregates before mixing to obtain a concrete mixture temperature of not less than 50

deg F (10 deg C) and not more than 80 deg F (27 deg C) at point of placement.

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

frozen subgrade or on subgrade containing frozen materials.

2. Do not use calcium chloride, salt, and other materials containing antifreeze agents or chemical

accelerators unless otherwise accepted in mix designs.

H. Hot-Weather Placing: When hot weather conditions exist that would seriously impair quality and

strength of concrete, place concrete in compliance with ACI 305 and as herein specified.

1. Cool ingredients before mixing to maintain concrete temperature at time of placement below

90 deg F (32 deg C). Mixing water may be chilled, or chopped ice may be used to control



temperature provided water equivalent of ice is calculated to total amount of mixing water.

Use of liquid nitrogen to cool concrete is Contractor's option.

2. Cover reinforcing steel with water-soaked burlap if it becomes too hot, so that steel

temperature will not exceed the ambient air temperature immediately before embedment in

concrete.

3. Fog spray forms, reinforcing steel, and subgrade just before concrete is placed.

4. Use water-reducing retarding admixture when required by high temperatures, low humidity,

or other adverse placing conditions, when acceptable to Architect.

3.8 FINISH OF FORMED SURFACES

A. Rough Form Finish: For formed concrete surfaces not exposed to view in the finish work or

concealed by other construction. This is the concrete surface having texture imparted by form-

facing material used, with tie holes and defective areas repaired and patched and fins and other

projections exceeding 1/4 inch in height rubbed down or chipped off.

B. Smooth Form Finish: For formed concrete surfaces exposed to view or to be covered with a coating

material applied directly to concrete, or a covering material applied directly to concrete, such as

waterproofing, dampproofing, veneer plaster, painting, or other similar system. This is an as-cast

concrete surface obtained with selected form-facing material, arranged in an orderly and

symmetrical manner with a minimum of seams. Repair and patch defective areas with fins and

other projections completely removed and smoothed.

C. Grout-Cleaned Finish: Provide grout-cleaned finish to scheduled concrete surfaces that have

received smooth form finish treatment.

1. Combine one part portland cement to 1-1/2 parts fine sand by volume, and a 50:50 mixture

of acrylic or styrene butadiene- based bonding admixture and water to consistency of thick

paint. Blend standard portland cement and white portland cement, amounts determined by

trial patches, so that final color of dry grout will match adjacent surfaces.

2. Thoroughly wet concrete surfaces, apply grout to coat surfaces, and fill small holes. Remove

excess grout by scraping and rubbing with clean burlap. Keep damp by fog spray for at least

36 hours after rubbing.

D. Related Unformed Surfaces: At tops of walls, horizontal offsets, and similar unformed surfaces

occurring adjacent to formed surfaces, strike-off smooth and finish with a texture matching adjacent

formed surfaces. Continue final surface treatment of formed surfaces uniformly across adjacent

unformed surfaces unless otherwise indicated.

3.9 MONOLITHIC SLAB FINISHES

A. Float Finish: Apply float finish to monolithic slab surfaces to receive trowel finish and other

finishes as hereinafter specified; slab surfaces to be covered with membrane or elastic

waterproofing, membrane or elastic roofing, or sand-bed terrazzo; and as otherwise indicated.

1. After screeding, consolidating, and leveling concrete slabs, do not work surface until ready

for floating. Begin floating, using float blades or float shoes only, when surface water has



disappeared, when concrete has stiffened sufficiently to permit operation of power-driven

floats, or both. Consolidate surface with power-driven floats or by hand-floating if area is

small or inaccessible to power units. Check and level surface plane to tolerances of Ff 18 -

Fl 15. Cut down high spots and fill low spots. Uniformly slope surfaces to drains.

Immediately after leveling, refloat surface to a uniform, smooth, granular texture.

B. Trowel Finish: Apply trowel finish to monolithic slab surfaces to be exposed to view and slab

surfaces to be covered with resilient flooring, carpet, ceramic or quarry tile, paint, or other thin film

finish coating system.

1. After floating, begin first trowel finish operation using a power-driven trowel. Begin final

troweling when surface produces a ringing sound as trowel is moved over surface.

Consolidate concrete surface by final hand-troweling operation, free of trowel marks, uniform

in texture and appearance, and with surface leveled to tolerances of Ff 20 - Fl 17. Grind

smooth surface defects that would telegraph through applied floor covering system.

C. Trowel and Fine Broom Finish: Where ceramic or quarry tile is to be installed with thin-set mortar,

apply trowel finish as specified, then immediately follow with slightly scarifying surface by fine

brooming.

D. Nonslip Broom Finish: Apply nonslip broom finish to exterior concrete platforms, steps, and

ramps, and elsewhere as indicated

1. Immediately after float finishing, slightly roughen concrete surface by brooming with fiber-

bristle broom perpendicular to main traffic route.

3.10 CONCRETE CURING AND PROTECTION

A. General: Protect freshly placed concrete from premature drying and excessive cold or hot

temperatures. In hot, dry, and windy weather, protect concrete from rapid moisture loss before and

during finishing operations with an evaporation-control material. Apply in accordance with

manufacturer's instructions after screeding and bull floating, but before power floating and

troweling.

B. Start initial curing as soon as free water has disappeared from concrete surface after placing and

finishing. Weather permitting, keep continuously moist for not less than 7 days.

C. Curing Methods: Perform curing of concrete by curing and sealing compound, by moist curing, by

moisture-retaining cover curing, and by combinations thereof, as herein specified.

D. Provide moisture curing by following methods.

1. Keep concrete surface continuously wet by covering with water.

2. Use continuous water-fog spray.

3. Cover concrete surface with specified absorptive cover, thoroughly saturate cover with water,

and keep continuously wet. Place absorptive cover to provide coverage of concrete surfaces

and edges, with 4-inch lap over adjacent absorptive covers.

E. Provide moisture-cover curing as follows:



1. Cover concrete surfaces with moisture-retaining cover for curing concrete, placed in widest

practicable width with sides and ends lapped at least 3 inches and sealed by waterproof tape

or adhesive. Immediately repair any holes or tears during curing period using cover material

and waterproof tape.

F. Provide curing and sealing compound to exposed interior slabs and to exterior slabs, walks, and

curbs as follows:

1. Apply specified curing and sealing compound to concrete slabs as soon as final finishing

operations are complete (within 2 hours and after surface water sheen has disappeared).

Apply uniformly in continuous operation by power spray or roller in accordance with

manufacturer's directions. Recoat areas subjected to heavy rainfall within 3 hours after initial

application. Maintain continuity of coating and repair damage during curing period.

2. Use membrane curing compounds that will not affect surfaces to be covered with finish

materials applied directly to concrete.

G. Curing Formed Surfaces: Cure formed concrete surfaces, including underside of beams, supported

slabs, and other similar surfaces, by moist curing with forms in place for full curing period or until

forms are removed. If forms are removed, continue curing by methods specified above, as

applicable.

H. Curing Unformed Surfaces: Cure unformed surfaces, such as slabs, floor topping, and other flat

surfaces, by application of appropriate curing method.

I. Final cure concrete surfaces to receive liquid floor hardener or finish flooring by use of moisture-

retaining cover, unless otherwise directed.

3.11 REMOVAL OF FORMS

A. General: Formwork not supporting weight of concrete, such as sides of beams, walls, columns,

and similar parts of the work, may be removed after cumulatively curing at not less than 50 deg F

(10 deg C) for 24 hours after placing concrete, provided concrete is sufficiently hard to not be

damaged by form-removal operations, and provided curing and protection operations are

maintained.

B. Formwork supporting weight of concrete, such as beam soffits, joists, slabs, and other structural

elements, may not be removed in less than 14 days and until concrete has attained at least 75 percent

of design minimum compressive strength at 28 days. Determine potential compressive strength of

in-place concrete by testing field-cured specimens representative of concrete location or members.

C. Form-facing material may be removed 4 days after placement only if shores and other vertical

supports have been arranged to permit removal of form-facing material without loosening or

disturbing shores and supports.

3.12 REUSE OF FORMS

A. Clean and repair surfaces of forms to be reused in work. Split, frayed, delaminated, or otherwise

damaged form-facing material will not be acceptable for exposed surfaces. Apply new form-

coating compound as specified for new formwork.



B. When forms are extended for successive concrete placement, thoroughly clean surfaces, remove

fins and laitance, and tighten forms to close joints. Align and secure joint to avoid offsets. Do not

use "patched" forms for exposed concrete surfaces except as acceptable to Architect.

3.13 MISCELLANEOUS CONCRETE ITEMS

and bolts, down to solid concrete but in no case to a depth of less than 1 inch. Make edges of cuts

perpendicular to the concrete surface. Thoroughly clean, dampen with water, and brush- coat the

area to be patched with specified bonding agent. Place patching mortar before bonding compound

has dried.

C. For exposed-to-view surfaces, blend white portland cement and standard portland cement so that,

when dry, patching mortar will match color surrounding. Provide test areas at inconspicuous

location to verify mixture and color match before proceeding with patching. Compact mortar in

place and strike-off slightly higher than surrounding surface.

D. Repair of Formed Surfaces: Remove and replace concrete having defective surfaces if defects

cannot be repaired to satisfaction of Architect. Surface defects, as such, include color and texture

irregularities, cracks, spalls, air bubbles, honeycomb, rock pockets, fins and other projections on

surface, and stains and other discolorations that cannot be removed by cleaning. Flush out form tie

holes, fill with dry-pack mortar, or precast cement cone plugs secured in place with bonding agent.

E. Repair concealed formed surfaces, where possible, that contain defects that affect the durability of

concrete. If defects cannot be repaired, remove and replace concrete.

F. Repair of Unformed Surfaces: Test unformed surfaces, such as monolithic slabs, for smoothness

and verify surface plane to tolerances specified for each surface and finish. Correct low and high

areas as herein specified. Test unformed surfaces sloped to drain for trueness of slope and

smoothness by using a template having required slope.

G. Repair finished unformed surfaces that contain defects that affect durability of concrete. Surface

defects, as such, include crazing and cracks in excess of 0.01 inch wide or that penetrate to

reinforcement or completely through nonreinforced sections regardless of width, spalling, popouts,

honeycomb, rock pockets, and other objectionable conditions.

H. Correct high areas in unformed surfaces by grinding after concrete has cured at least 14 days.



I. Correct low areas in unformed surfaces during or immediately after completion of surface finishing

operations by cutting out low areas and replacing with patching compound. Finish repaired areas

to blend into adjacent concrete. Proprietary underlayment compounds may be used when

acceptable to Architect.

J. Repair defective areas, except random cracks and single holes not exceeding 1 inch in diameter, by

cutting out and replacing with fresh concrete. Remove defective areas to sound concrete with clean,

square cuts and expose reinforcing steel with at least 3/4-inch clearance all around. Dampen

concrete surfaces in contact with patching concrete and apply bonding compound. Mix patching

concrete of same materials to provide concrete of same type or class as original concrete. Place,

compact, and finish to blend with adjacent finished concrete. Cure in same manner as adjacent

concrete.

K. Repair isolated random cracks and single holes not over 1 inch in diameter by dry-pack method.

Groove top of cracks and cut out holes to sound concrete and clean of dust, dirt, and loose particles.

Dampen cleaned concrete surfaces and apply bonding compound. Mix dry-pack, consisting of one

part portland cement to 2-1/2 parts fine aggregate passing a No. 16 mesh sieve, using only enough

water as required for handling and placing. Place dry-pack before bonding compound has dried.

Compact dry-pack mixture in place and finish to match adjacent concrete. Keep patched area

continuously moist for not less than 72 hours.

placed in any one day; one specimen tested at 7 days, two specimens tested at 28 days, and

one specimen retained in reserve for later testing if required.

6. When frequency of testing will provide fewer than 5 strength tests for a given class of

concrete, conduct testing from at least 5 randomly selected batches or from each batch if

fewer than 5 are used.

7. When total quantity of a given class of concrete is less than 50 cu. yds., Architect may waive

strength test if adequate evidence of satisfactory strength is provided.

8. When strength of field-cured cylinders is less than 85 percent of companion laboratory-cured

cylinders, evaluate current operations and provide corrective procedures for protecting and

curing the in-place concrete.

9. Strength level of concrete will be considered satisfactory if averages of sets of three

consecutive strength test results equal or exceed specified compressive strength, and no

individual strength test result falls below specified compressive strength by more than 500

psi.

Contractor within 24 hours after tests. Reports of compressive strength tests shall contain the

project identification name and number, date of concrete placement, name of concrete testing

service, concrete type and class, location of concrete batch in structure, design compressive strength

at 28 days, concrete mix proportions and materials, compressive breaking strength, and type of

break for both 7-day tests and 28-day tests.

E. Nondestructive Testing: Impact hammer, sonoscope, or other nondestructive device may be

permitted but shall not be used as the sole basis for acceptance or rejection.

F. Additional Tests: The testing service will make additional tests of in-place concrete when test

results indicate specified concrete strengths and other characteristics have not been attained in the

structure, as directed by Architect. Testing service may conduct tests to determine adequacy of

concrete by cored cylinders complying with ASTM C 42, or by other methods as directed.

Contractor shall pay for such tests when unacceptable concrete is verified.
