3.1.1 General: ACI 301. Provide bars, wire fabric, wire ties, supports, and other devices necessary to install and secure reinforcement. Reinforcement shall not have rust, scale, oil, grease, clay, or foreign substances that would reduce the bond.

3.1.2 Anchor Studs: Drill and set the tower anchor studs into the top of the breakwater. The studs shall be set to the elevation indicated on drawing C-02 and anchored using a two-part epoxy anchor grout.

3.1.2 Reinforcement: Place perimeter reinforcement and secure to the anchor studs with galvanized. Attach and secure remaining reinforcement to the perimeter reinforcement. Secure and tie reinforcement in accordance with ACI 315.

3.3 Cover: ACI 301 for minimum coverage, unless otherwise indicated.

1.1 Applicable Publications

AMERICAN CONCRETE INSTITUTE (ACI)

AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR TESTING AND MATERIALS (ASTM)

1.2 Submittals:

1.2.1 Mix Design: Concrete mix design shall be in accordance with ACI 301. Mix Design shall show Portland cement content, w/c ratio and aggregate gradations. Include a complete list of materials including type; brand; source and amount of cement, fly ash, pozzolan, slag, and admixtures; and applicable reference specifications.

1.2.2 Compressive Strength Tests: Provide ASTM C 39 and ASTM C 31 compression tests results. Perform ASTM C 143 slump tests. Provide test results as required in Paragraph 3.3.1.

PART-2 PRODUCTS

2.1 Concrete: Concrete shall comply ACI 304R and have a 28-day compressive strength of 5000-psi at 28 days. Air content shall be 4 to 6 percent air in accordance with ASTM C173. Water/cement shall be 0.48 by weight maximum.

2.1.1 Cement: ASTM C150, Type I or II. The blended cement shall consist of a mixture of ASTM C 150 cement and one of the following materials: ASTM C 618 pozzolan or fly ash. The pozzolan, or fly ash content shall not exceed 25 percent total cementitious material.

2.1.2 Water: Clean, fresh and potable, including free water in aggregate.

2.1.3 Aggregate: ASTM C33. Coarse aggregate shall be uniformly graded from 3” diameter to #4. Fine aggregate shall be uniformly graded with less than 2 percent passing the #200 sieve by weight. Aggregates shall be free from any substance that may be deleteriously reactive with alkalis in the cement.

2.1.4 Air Entraining: ASTM C260

PART-3 EXECUTION

3.1 Preparation for Concrete Placement:

3.1.2 Measuring, Mixing, Conveying and Placing Concrete:

3.1.3 Mixing and Conveying: ACI 301 and as specified herein. Begin mixing within 30 minutes after the cement has been added to the aggregates. The time between the introduction of water to the cement and the start of placing of the concrete in final position shall not exceed 45 minutes if the air temperature is greater than 85 degrees F. Re-tempering concrete that has lost the required slump is strictly prohibited.

3.1.4 Placing: Comply with ACI 304R. Place and consolidate concrete so to prevent segregation of materials and to ensure concrete is thoroughly worked around embedded items, around reinforcement and into corners. Place concrete at a constant temperature between 50 and 90 degrees F throughout fabrication of each panel. Refer to ACI 305R and ACI 306. Do not place concrete in uncovered areas during periods of precipitation; or in standing water. Consolidate concrete with high frequency, internal, mechanical vibrating equipment supplemented by hand spading and tamping.

3.2 Finishing:

3.2.1 Initial Finish: Consolidate and immediately strike off concrete to bring the top surfaces of the decks to proper contour, grade, and elevations as shown. Provide a slight bevel in the concrete to allow drainage to the scuppers. Immediately strike off the surface using a wooden bull-float and wooden tools so as to correct any unevenness. Complete striking-off before bleed water appears. Remove bleed water using a rubber hose.

3.2.2 Final Finish: Float the surface by hand with a wood trowel. Floating of any one area shall be the minimum necessary to produce an even finish.

3.2.3 Curing and Protection: Protect concrete adequately from injurious action by weather and mechanical injury for a minimum of 72 hours. Coat with a liquid membrane conforming to ACI A309.

3.3 Sampling and Testing:

3.3.1 Strength Tests: ASTM C 172. Provide ASTM C 39 and ASTM C 31 compression tests. Perform ASTM C 143 slump tests. Mold four cylinders each day or for every 20 cubic yards of concrete placed. Test two cylinders at 7 days and two at 28 days. Evaluate compression test results at 28 days in accordance with ACI requirements.
