2.1 CONCRETE MIXING

A. Depending on local conditions, or with approval of the Contracting Officer, the methods of mixing may be limited to one of the following:

1. Batching at a Central Plant or “Ready Mixed Concrete” shall comply with requirements of ASTM

C94, and as specified herein.

2. Job Site Mixing: Mix materials for concrete in appropriate drum type batch mechanical machine mixer. For mixers of one cubic yard or smaller capacity, continue mixing at least 1-1/2 minutes, but not more than 5 minutes after ingredients are in mixer, before any part of batch is released.

3.1 EXAMINATION

A. Verify that anchors, plates, reinforcement and other items to be cast into concrete are accurately placed, positioned securely, and will not cause hardship in placing concrete.

3.2 MIXING AND HAULING

A. Batching and Mixing at a Central Plant Conforming to ASTM C94: The method herein contemplated is ordinarily referred to as “Ready-Mixed Concrete”, and may only be employed if the time interval between mixing at the plant and discharge into the forms does not exceed 90 minutes. This time limitation may be still further reduced when high ambient air temperature or the high temperature of the batch ingredients indicate a shorter time period is required. The mixture shall be agitated continuously from the time the truck is loaded until time of discharge.

CAST-IN-PLACE CONCRETE Section 03 30 00-4

B. Batching and Mixing at Site of Work: Concrete shall be mixed thoroughly in a batch mixer of approved type and capacity for a period of not less than 1-1/2 minutes after all component materials, including water, are in a drum, or as specified by the manufacturer of the mixer.

3.3 INSTALLATION OF EMBEDDED ITEMS

A. Secure or insert sleeves, bollards, posts, bolts, anchors, inserts, or other hardware in forms and be responsible for any and all changes in the position of such items after they have been set in forms.

3.4 CONCRETE PLACEMENT

A. Environmental Conditions:

1. Cold Weather Placing: When air temperature has fallen to or is expected to fall below 40 deg F, protect concrete work from physical damage or reduced strength which could be caused by frost, freezing actions, or low temperatures, in compliance with ACI 306R. Do not place concrete on frozen subgrade or subgrade containing frozen materials. Submit cold weather protection product data before concrete is ordered.

2. Hot Weather Placing: When air temperature is above or expected to be above 85 deg For weather conditions exist that would seriously impair quality and strength of concrete, place concrete in compliance with ACI 305R.

B. Preplacement Inspection: Before placing concrete, the Contracting Officer shall inspect and approve the complete installation for formwork, reinforcement, and items to be embedded or cast-in. Moisten wood forms immediately before placing concrete where form coatings are not used.

C. Placing Concrete:

1. Concrete shall be placed in such a manner as to avoid segregation but, in no case shall the concrete be dropped freely more than five feet. Deposit concrete as nearly as practicable to its final location to avoid segregation.

2. Concrete shall be placed continuously. If a section cannot be placed continuously, provide construction joints as herein specified. Deposit concrete in a manner to avoid inclined construction joints or the formation of seams or planes of weakness. When placement consists of several layers, place each layer while preceding layer is plastic to avoid cold joints.

3. Protect adjacent finish materials against spatter during concrete placement.

4. Consolidate placed concrete by mechanical vibrating equipment supplemented by hand-spading, rodding or tamping to provide a smooth void free surface against formwork.

5. Do not use vibrators to transport concrete inside forms or cause segregation of mix.

6. Ensure reinforcement, inserts, embedded parts, formed expansion and contraction joints are not disturbed during concrete placement.

CAST-IN-PLACE CONCRETE Section 03 30 00-5

7. Maintain records of concrete placement. Record date, location, quantity, air temperature, and test samples taken.

3.5 CONCRETE CURING AND PROTECTION

A. Immediately after placement, protect concrete from premature drying, excessively hot or cold temperatures, and mechanical injury. Concrete shall be cured for a minimum of 7 days by one of the following methods:

1. Provide moisture curing by keeping surface continuously wet by covering with water or water-fog spray, or absorptive cover.

2. Moisture-Retaining Cover: Place cover 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.

3. Provide curing and sealing compound in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations.

Recoat areas subjected to heavy rainfall within 3 hours after initial application. Maintain continuity of coating and repair damage during curing period.

4. Do not use plastic sheets or any curing products which discolor.

3.6 CONCRETE SURFACE REPAIRS

A. Surface repairs shall be made with cement mortar immediately after removal of forms, acceptable to the Contracting Officer. Repairs include filling in holes or openings left for other trades, after work of other trades is in place. Repairs include honeycombs, rock pockets, and void over ¼ inch in any dimension, holes left by ties, rods, and bolts, cracks in excess of 0.01 inch in concrete surfaces.

B. Remove defective areas to sound concrete with clean square cuts. Thoroughly clean, dampen with water, and brush-coat the area to be patched with an approved bonding agent. Place patching mortar after bonding compound has dried. Compact mortar and keep continuously moist for not less than 72 hours. Alternate repair methods are subject to approval by the Contracting Officer. If defects cannot be repaired to satisfaction of Contracting Officer, concrete shall be removed and replaced.

C. Correct high areas in slabs after cure period by grinding.
