3.4.10 Protection of Exposed Concrete: Protect exposed surfaces as necessary to prevent staining and damage. Provide protection of exposed edges to prevent chipping.

3.5 Quality Assurance:

3.5.1 Concrete Strength: Concrete shall develop 3,000 pounds per square inch minimum compressive strength when tested at 28 days in accordance with ASTM 39.

Concrete shall be placed with a maximum slump of 4 inches. Placement and curing techniques shall conform to ACI Standard 301.

3.5.2 Testing: The Government may retain a testing laboratory to perform the testing of concrete cylinders. The costs of tests shall be born by the Government. Any retesting required because of failure of concrete to meet specification requirement shall be paid for by the Contractor.

The cylinders will represent the batch of concrete from which they were taken. Three

(3) test cylinders will be made for each strength test. Specimens will be tested at 7 and 28 days with one held in reserve in case improper sampling, molding, or testing requires an additional test. Test specimens will be tested in accordance with ASTM C-39.

Concrete that does not meet the requirements shall be removed and replaced at the expense of the Contractor.

Slump tests may be performed by the Resident Engineer. The slump cone and rod will be furnished by the Resident Engineer. Forming, curing, and testing of concrete cylinders will be done at the Government's expense. The concrete slump tests will be taken and tested in accordance with ASTM C-172 and ASTM C-143.

3.5.3 Forms: Forms for exposed concrete surfaces shall be designed and constructed so that the formed surface of the concrete does not undulate excessively in any direction between studs, joists, form stiffeners, form fasteners, or wales. Undulations exceeding either 3/32 inch or 1/270 of the center to center distance between studs, joists, form stiffeners, form fasteners or wales will be considered to be excessive.

Should any form or forming system even though previously approved for use, produce a concrete surface with excessive undulations, its use shall be discontinued until satisfactory modifications approved by the Resident Engineer have been made.

Portions of concrete structures with surface undulations in excess of the limits herein described may be rejected by the Resident Engineer.

3.5.4 Batch Weight Tickets: A copy of all concrete "batch weight tickets" shall be given to the Resident Engineer.

3.5.5 Field Inspections: Prior to placing any concrete in forms, reinforcing and formwork will be inspected by the Resident Engineer and any discrepancies found shall be corrected by the Contractor at his expense.
