6. General Concrete Requirements

a. The Repair Method.

The concrete repair is for a partial replacement with conventional concrete to the original as-built condition. The repair methods are as follows: Remove the delaminated areas to sound concrete, install anchors, prepare the concrete substrate, install, and erect the formwork, replace with a concrete that closely matches the properties of the concrete substrate, and properly cure the repaired area.

b. Demolition Prior to the concrete removal, all miscellaneous steel, corner armoring and hand railing shall be removed and stored to prevent damage. Removal methods include but are not limited to: hydro blasting, saw cutting and hammering (15 lbs. max). All cracked, delaminated, and unsound concrete along the vertical surface shall be removed to the limits identified within Figures 5 and 6 below. The removed boundaries shall be into sound concrete, with straight and square cut lines at a minimum depth of 4 inches. The unsound and delaminated horizontal vertical surfaces shall be removed to sound concrete and roughen to ¼ inch amplitude.

c. Installation of Anchors After the unsound concrete has been completely removed, install ½ inch diameter galvanized mechanical anchors at 12 inches on center within the repair area. Install the anchors with a minimum embedment depth of 3 ½ inches and a minimum concrete clear cover of 2 inches.

d. Formwork It is acceptable to use either steel or plywood to form the vertical surfaces. Prior to installation formwork surfaces must be properly oiled. The forms shall be properly attached, structurally supported, and mortar tight to each vertical surface being formed.

e. Final Pre-Placement Inspection Surfaces to receive concrete shall be clean, damp, and free from snow, frost, ice, mud, loose particles, foreign matter, and water. Cleaning methods include, but not limited to sand blasting, pressure washing, or vacuuming.

Forms shall be in place, cleaned, coated, and adequately supported. Care shall be taken to determine that all installed anchors and reinforcing steel (if required) are cleaned, firmly tied, and securely fastened in place. Transporting and conveying equipment shall be in-place, ready for use, clean, and free of hardened concrete and foreign material.

Equipment for consolidating concrete shall be at the placing site and in proper working order. Equipment and material for curing and for protecting concrete from weather or mechanical damage shall be at the placing site, in proper working condition and in sufficient amount for the entire placement.

Before placement of concrete, care shall be taken to determine that all embedded items are firmly and securely fastened in place as indicated on the drawings. Conduit and other embedded items shall be clean and free of oil and other foreign matter such as loose coatings or rust, paint, and scale. The embedding of wood in concrete will be permitted only when specifically authorized or directed. Voids in sleeves, inserts, and anchor slots shall be filled temporarily with readily removable materials to prevent the entry of concrete into voids.

The existing concrete surface against which the new concrete is to be cast shall be kept continuously wet with potable water for not less than 12 hours immediately prior to concrete placement. Free water shall be removed prior to placement of concrete.

f. Concrete Mix Design
