Refer apparently-equal-but-different requirements, and uncertainties as to which level of quality is more stringent, to Owner's Representative and Owner for a written decision before proceeding with the work in question.

B. Minimum Quality/Quantity: In every instance, the quality level or quantity indicated or specified is intended to be the minimum for the work to be performed or provided. Except as otherwise indicated, the actual work may either comply exactly with that minimum (within specified tolerances), or may exceed that minimum within reasonable limits. In complying with these requirements, indicated numeric values are either minimums or maximums as noted, or as appropriate for context of the requirements. Refer instances of uncertainty to Owner's Representative and Owner for a written decision before proceeding with the work in question.

Mix designs not complying with the Drawings and Specifications shall be returned by the laboratory as unacceptable.

B. Secure composite samples of concrete at the jobsite in accordance with ASTM C172, "Sampling Fresh Concrete."

C. Mold and cure three (3) specimens from each sample in accordance with ASTM C31, "Making and Curing Concrete Test Specimens in the Field." Supervise the curing protection provided (by others) for test specimens in the field, and the transportation from the field to the laboratory. The test cylinders shall be stored in the field 24 hours and then be carefully transported to the laboratory and cured in accordance with ASTM C31.

D. Test specimens in accordance with ASTM C39, "Test for Compressive Strength of

Cylindrical Concrete Specimen." Two (2) specimens shall be tested at twenty-eight (28) days for acceptance and one (1) shall be tested at seven (7) days for information.

E. Make one (1) strength test (three [3] cylinders) for each 100 cubic yards of fraction thereof, of each mix design of concrete placed in any one (1) day.

F. Make slump tests from each truck load of concrete or more often at the option of the Architect, following the procedural requirements of ASTM C143 and C172. Slump tests shall always be made from the same batch from which strength tests are made.

G. Determine total air content of air entrained normal-weight concrete sample for each strength test in accordance with ASTM C231, "Test for Air Content of Freshly Mixed Concrete by the Pressure Method."

I. Determine temperature of concrete sample for each strength test.

J. The testing agency shall furnish and maintain a competent inspector at the mixing plant (at the start of each day's mixing). The inspector shall examine concrete materials for compliance with specifications and approved mix design, weighing and measuring devices, proportioning and mixing of materials, and water and cement content of each batch, the general operation of the plant and the transportation of concrete to the job site. The inspector shall make the necessary tests to determine the amount of free surface moisture contained in the fine and coarse aggregate, and shall determine by calculations the amount of water to be added to each batch to obtain concrete of proper consistency and water cement ratio as determined from data obtained in the preliminary test.

K. The testing laboratory shall control the addition of water to the concrete at the jobsite and the length of time the concrete is allowed to remain in the truck during the placement. The inspector shall compare the mixture with the criteria on the approved mix design and report any significant deviation to the Architect, Contractor and design laboratory. Corresponding adjustments shall be made before the concrete is discharged.

L. The testing laboratory shall certify each delivery ticket indicating class of concrete delivered

(or poured), amount of water added and the time at which the cement and aggregate was discharged into the truck, and the time at which the concrete was discharged from the truck.

M. Evaluation and Acceptance:

1. If the measured slump, or air content of air entrained concrete falls outside the specified limits, a check test shall be made immediately on another portion of the same sample. In the event of a second failure, the concrete shall be considered to have failed to meet the requirements of the specifications, and shall not be used in concrete operations in the work.

2. The strength level of the concrete will be considered satisfactory if 90% of the strength test results and the averages of all sets of three (3) consecutive strength tests results are equal to, or exceed specified strength and no individual test result is below specified strength by more than 500 psi.

3. Completed concrete work will be accepted when the requirements of "Specifications for Structural Concrete for Buildings" ACI 301-72, Chapter 18, have been complied with.

4. In any case where the average strength of the laboratory control cylinders, as shown by the tests for any portion of the structure, falls below the minimum ultimate compressive strength hereinbefore specified, the Architects shall have the right to require the Contractor to provide improved curing conditions of temperature and moisture to secure the required strength. Also, if the average strength of the laboratory control cylinders should fall so low as to cause the portions of the structure to which the respective unsatisfactory test reports apply to be in question by the Architect, the Contractor shall follow the core procedure set forth in the current edition of ASTM Designation C 42. If the results of the core tests indicate, in the opinion of the Architects, that the strength of the structure is inadequate, such replacement, load testing, or strengthening, as may be ordered by the Architect, shall be provided by the Contractor without cost to the Owner. If core tests are so ordered, and the results of such tests disclose that the strength of the structure is as required by the provisions of the Specifications and Drawings, the cost of the tests will be borne by the Owner.

N. Concrete Test Reports:

1. Reports shall be made and distributed immediately after the respective tests or inspections are made.

2. Where reports indicate deviations from the Contract Documents, they shall also include a determination of the probable cause of the deviation and, where applicable, a recommendation for corrective action.

3. Whenever the testing laboratory recognizes a trend of decreasing quality in the concrete due to changing seasons, conditions of curing, or other cause; this shall be brought to the attention of the Architect, along with a recommendation for corrective action to be taken before the materials fall below the requirements of these Specifications.

O. Comply with ACI 311-75, "Guide for Concrete Inspection."

Joints in which materials is 2" or more in thickness shall not have the weld interrupted after operations has started, unless at least 2/3 of its length, for its full depth, has been completed without an interruption of more than one hour. Welding may be interrupted for longer periods, provided the preheat temperature is maintained for the full length of joint for the entire time welding is interrupted.

5. Surfaces to be welded and all filler metal shall be carefully inspected. Surface preparations, fit-up and cleanliness of surface shall be noted. Electrodes shall be checked for size, type and condition.

6. Welds shall be sound, clean metal, free of slab inclusions and porosity. Filler metal shall be completely fused with base metal and shall have complete penetration of the joint. Root passes shall be checked for penetration from the back side of joint.

Welds showing inclusions, porosity, lack of fusion, penetration and uneven contour (sagging or overlaps) shall be ordered gouged out and rewelded. Welds showing any undercut shall have a small stringer bead ordered to be run in along the toe of undercut using a smaller diameter electrode than that which made the original weld.

No craters shall be left in welds. Any welding defects, including porosity, fusion, and undercuts in excess of that allowed shall be cause for rejection. Where craters occur, the inspector shall order them to be filled out with weld metal.

7. The welding inspector shall be present during alignment and fit-up of members being welded, and shall check for correct surface preparation of root openings, sound weld metal, and proper penetration in the root pass. Where weld has not penetrated completely, the inspector shall order the joint to be chipped down to sound metal, or gouged out, and rewelded. Root passes shall be thoroughly inspected for cracks. All cracks shall be gouged out and rewelded (2" beyond each end of crack).
