Reduce mixing time and place concrete within 60 minutes if the air temperature is greater than 85°F except as follows: if set retarding admixture is used and slump requirements can be met, limit for placing concrete may remain at 90 minutes.
Additional water may be added, provided that both the specified maximum slump and water-cement ratio are not exceeded. When additional water is added, an additional 30 revolutions of the mixer at mixing speed is required. Dissolve
4/7/2016 SECTION 03 30 00 – Page 10 admixtures in the mixing water and mix in the drum to uniformly distribute the admixture throughout the batch.
3.4.2 Transporting
Transport concrete from the mixer to the forms as rapidly as practicable. Prevent segregation or loss of ingredients. Clean transporting equipment thoroughly before each batch. Do not use aluminum pipe or chutes. Remove concrete which has segregated in transporting and dispose of as directed.
3.5 PLACING CONCRETE
Place concrete as soon as practicable after the forms and the reinforcement have been inspected and approved. Do not place concrete when weather conditions prevent proper placement and consolidation; in uncovered areas during periods of precipitation; or in standing water. Prior to placing concrete, remove dirt, and construction debris from within the forms. Deposit concrete as close as practicable to the final position in the forms. Do not exceed a free vertical drop of 3 feet from the point of discharge. Place concrete in one continuous operation from one end of the structure towards the other. Position grade stakes on 10 foot centers maximum in each direction when pouring interior slabs and on 20 foot centers maximum for exterior slabs.
Deposit concrete continuously or in layers of such thickness that no concrete is placed on concrete which has hardened sufficiently to cause formation of seams or planes of weakness within the section. If a section cannot be placed continuously, provide construction joints as specified. Perform concrete placing at such a rate that concrete which is being integrated with fresh concrete is still plastic. Deposit concrete as nearly as practical in its final position to avoid segregation due to rehandling or flowing. Do not subject concrete to procedures which cause segregation.
3.5.1 Vibration

Maintain required concrete temperature using Figure 2.1.5 in ACI/MCP-2 to prevent the evaporation rate from exceeding 0.2 pound of water per square foot of exposed concrete per hour. Cool ingredients before mixing or use other suitable means to control concrete temperature and prevent rapid drying of newly placed concrete.
Shade the fresh concrete as soon as possible after placing. Start curing when the surface of the fresh concrete is sufficiently hard to permit curing without damage.
Provide water hoses, pipes, spraying equipment, and water hauling equipment, where job site is remote to water source, to maintain a moist concrete surface throughout the curing period. Provide burlap cover or other suitable, permeable material with fog spray or continuous wetting of the concrete when weather conditions prevent the use of either liquid membrane curing compound or impervious sheets. For vertical surfaces, protect forms from direct sunlight and add water to top of structure once concrete is set.
3.6 SURFACE FINISHES
3.6.1 Surfaces Against Forms
Repair formed surfaces by removing minor honeycombs, pits greater than 1 square inch surface area or 0.25 inch maximum depth, or otherwise defective areas.
Provide edges perpendicular to the surface and patch with nonshrink grout. Patch tie holes and defects when the forms are removed. Concrete with extensive honeycomb including exposed steel reinforcement, cold joints, entrapped debris, separated aggregate, or other defects which affect the serviceability or structural strength will be rejected, unless correction of defects is approved. Obtain approval of corrective action prior to repair. The surface of the concrete shall not vary more than the allowable tolerances of ACI/MCP-4. Exposed surfaces shall be uniform in appearance and finished to a smooth form finish unless otherwise specified.
3.6.2 Surfaces Not Exposed to Public View
4/7/2016 SECTION 03 30 00 – Page 12
Rough. Patch holes and defects and level abrupt irregularities. Remove or rub off fins and other projections exceeding 0.25 inch in height.
3.6.3 Surfaces to Receive Roofing
Floated. After the concrete has been placed, consolidated, struck off, and leveled, do not work the concrete further, until ready for floating. Whether floating with a wood, magnesium, or composite hand float, with a bladed power trowel equipped with float shoes, or with a powered disc, float shall begin when the surface has stiffened sufficiently to permit the operation. During or after the first floating, surface shall be checked with a 10 foot straightedge applied at no less than two different angles, one of which is perpendicular to the direction of strike off. High spots shall be cut down and low spots filled during this procedure to produce a surface level within ¼ inch in 10 feet.
3.6.4 All Other Surfaces.
Use a broomed finish on all other surfaces not to receive roofing unless otherwise approved. Perform a floated finish, then draw a broom or burlap belt across the surface to produce a coarse scored texture. Permit surface to harden sufficiently to retain the scoring or ridges. Broom transverse to traffic or at right angles to the slope of the slab.
3.6.5 Splash Blocks
Provide at outlets of downspouts emptying at grade. Splash blocks may be precast concrete, and shall be 24 inches long, 12 inches wide, and 4 inches thick, unless otherwise indicated, with smooth-finished countersunk dishes sloped to drain away from the building.
3.7 CURING AND PROTECTION
ACI/MCP-2 unless otherwise specified. Protect concrete from injurious action by sun, rain, flowing water, mechanical injury, tire marks, and oil stains. Do not allow concrete to dry out from time of placement until the expiration of the specified curing period. Do not use membrane-forming compound on surfaces where appearance would be objectionable, on any surface to be painted, where coverings are to be bonded to the concrete, or on concrete to which other concrete is to be bonded. If forms are removed prior to the expiration of the curing period, provide another curing procedure specified herein for the remaining portion of the curing period. Provide moist curing for those areas receiving liquid chemical sealer-hardener or epoxy coating.
3.7.1 General
4/7/2016 SECTION 03 30 00 – Page 13
Protect freshly placed concrete from premature drying or hot temperature and maintain without drying at a relatively constant temperature for the period of time necessary for hydration of cement and proper hardening of concrete.
Start initial curing as soon as free water has disappeared from surface of concrete after placing and finishing. Keep concrete moist for minimum 72 hours.
Final curing must immediately follow initial curing and before concrete has dried.
Continue final curing until cumulative number of hours or fraction thereof (not necessarily consecutive) during which temperature of air in contact with the concrete is above 50°F has totaled 168 hours. Alternatively, if tests are made of cylinders kept adjacent to the structure and cured by the same methods, final curing may be terminated when the average compressive strength has reached 70 percent of the 28-day design compressive strength. Prevent rapid drying at end of final curing period.
3.7.2 Moist Curing
Remove water without erosion or damage to the structure.
3.7.2.1 Ponding or Immersion
Continually immerse the concrete throughout the curing period. Water shall not be more than 20 degrees F less than the temperature of the concrete. For temperatures between 40 and 50°F, increase the curing period by 50%.
3.7.2.2 Fog Spraying or Sprinkling
Apply water uniformly and continuously throughout the curing period. For temperatures between 40 and 50°F, increase the curing period by 50%.
3.7.2.3 Pervious Sheeting
Completely cover surface and edges of the concrete with two thicknesses of wet sheeting. Overlap sheeting 6 inches over adjacent sheeting. Sheeting shall be at least as long as the width of the surface to be cured. During application, do not drag the sheeting over the finished concrete nor over sheeting already placed. Wet sheeting thoroughly and keep continuously wet throughout the curing period.
3.7.2.4 Impervious Sheeting
Wet the entire exposed surface of the concrete thoroughly with a fine spray of water and cover with impervious sheeting throughout the curing period. Lay sheeting directly on the concrete surface and overlap edges 12 inches minimum. Provide sheeting not less than 18 inches wider than the concrete surface to be cured. Secure edges and transverse laps to form closed joints. Repair torn or damaged sheeting or provide new sheeting. Cover or wrap columns, walls, and other vertical structural elements from the top down with impervious sheeting; overlap and continuously
4/7/2016 SECTION 03 30 00 – Page 14 tape sheeting joints; and introduce sufficient water to soak the entire surface prior to completely enclosing.
3.7.3 Liquid Membrane-Forming Curing Compound
Seal or cover joint openings prior to application of curing compound. Prevent curing compound from entering the joint. Apply in accordance with the recommendations of the manufacturer immediately after any water sheen which may develop after finishing has disappeared from the concrete surface. Provide and maintain compound on the concrete surface throughout the curing period. Do not use this method of curing where the use of Figure 2.1.5 in ACI/MCP-2 indicates that hot weather conditions will cause an evaporation rate exceeding 0.2 pound of water per square foot per hour.
3.7.3.1 Application
Unless the manufacturer recommends otherwise, apply compound immediately after the surface loses its water sheen and has a dull appearance, and before joints are sawed. Mechanically agitate curing compound thoroughly during use. Use approved power-spraying equipment to uniformly apply two coats of compound in a continuous operation. The total coverage for the two coats shall be 200 square feet maximum per gallon of undiluted compound unless otherwise recommended by the manufacturer's written instructions. The compound shall form a uniform, continuous, coherent film that will not check, crack, or peel. Immediately apply an additional coat of compound to areas where the film is defective. Re-spray concrete surfaces subjected to rainfall within 3 hours after the curing compound application.
3.7.3.2 Protection of Treated Surfaces
Prohibit pedestrian and vehicular traffic and other sources of abrasion at least 72 hours after compound application. Maintain continuity of the coating for the entire curing period and immediately repair any damage.
3.7.4 Liquid Chemical Sealer-Hardener
Apply sealer-hardener to interior floors not receiving floor covering and floors located under access flooring. Apply the sealer-hardener in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations. Seal or cover joints and openings in which joint sealant is to be applied as required by the joint sealant manufacturer. The sealer-hardener shall not be applied until the concrete has been moist cured and has aged for a minimum of 30 days. Apply a minimum of two coats of sealer-hardener.
3.7.5 Curing Periods
ACI/MCP-2 except 10 days for retaining walls, pavement or chimneys. Begin curing immediately after placement. Protect concrete from premature drying, excessively hot temperatures, and mechanical injury; and maintain minimal moisture loss at a relatively constant temperature for the period necessary for hydration of the cement
4/7/2016 SECTION 03 30 00 – Page 15 and hardening of the concrete. The materials and methods of curing shall be subject to approval by the Contracting Officer.

PART 3 EXECUTION
4/7/2016 SECTION 04 20 01 – Page 4
3.1 EXAMINATION AND IDENTIFICATION OF JOINTS TO BE REPOINTED
Examine conditions, bonding pattern, levels and lateral reinforcement locations.
Identify and projected problem areas to the Contracting Officer before initiating work.
Joints to be repointed include: (1) mortar erosion to a depth more than ½ inch, (2) crumbling mortar, (3) cracks between the block and mortar and (4) missing mortar.
Visual observation in combination with light scraping with a metal tool can detect cracked, spalled and crumbly mortar joints.
3.2 PREPARATION
3.2.1 Protection
Prevent repointing mortar from staining the face of masonry or other surfaces to be left exposed. Remove repointing mortar that comes in contact with such surfaces.
Protect sills, ledges and projections from droppings. Cover partially completed work when work is not in progress.
3.2.2 Temporary Support and Staging
Provide temporary support where necessary to prevent displacement of masonry units during repointing and until mortar has achieved sufficient strength.
Where required to maintain support of units, rake out and repoint each unit in stages, allowing freshly repointed portions to cure sufficiently before raking out and repointing remaining portion of joints supporting the unit.
Remove temporary shims and supports when no longer necessary, and repoint voids left by temporary shims and supports.
3.2.3 Removing Anchors
Remove any exposed or unused anchors, nails, pins, and similar devices and point hole with mortar.
3.2.4 Removing Joint Sealant from Joints
Cut out failing joint sealant with a caulking cutter (Fein tool) assisted by hand tools and trim or lightly grind joint sealant from joint faces. Vigorously scrub joint faces with a stiff brush to remove embedded dust and debris from joint faces, followed by vacuuming, working from top to bottom of wall.
Remove existing underlying mortar to the depth specified prior to repointing.
3.2.5 Removing Existing Mortar
4/7/2016 SECTION 04 20 01 – Page 5
All joints with failing mortar shall be raked back to sound, solid, back up material.
Raking out shall leave a clean, square face at the back of the joint to provide for maximum contact of pointing mortar with the masonry back up mortar. Shallow or feather edging will not be permitted.
Do not widen the existing masonry joints. Do not spall or chip the surrounding masonry edges in the process of mortar removal. Damage to surrounding brick or stone resulting from rotary blade over running shall not be permitted. Contractor shall replace brick or stone damaged during mortar removal with replacement units that match the original as determined by the Architect.
Brush joint faces and vacuum debris from joint to remove dirt and loose debris, working from top to bottom of wall.
3.2.6 Mortar Removal Depth
Existing mortar joints shall be raked out to whichever depth is greatest:
o 5/8 inch.
o 2-1/2 times the width of the existing mortar joint.
o Until bonded, cohesive existing lime mortar is encountered.
3.2.7 Prewetting
Brush joint faces and flush out joints with water to remove dirt and loose debris, working from top to bottom of wall. Rinse stone joints with water to remove dust and mortar particles. Thoroughly wet wall below to avoid soiling. Joint surfaces should be damp but free from standing water.
Prior wetting is necessary to achieve the proper absorption rate before masonry repair commences and is essential to good masonry practice. Presoak walls and joints with water as required by project and weather conditions. During hot or windy weather, wet walls and joints several times in advance of pointing. Re-wet walls and joints yet to be pointed if masonry dries out before pointing. Masonry units shall be damp but without standing water at the time of pointing.
Maintain hand mister bottles or a garden sprayer with clean, clear, potable water immediately available to masons at all times during the repointing process. A very low pressure spray (garden hose with nozzle adjusted to a fine, low-volume mist) may be used over large areas providing erosion of joints is prevented.
Exposed surface of masonry adjacent to joint shall be wet prior to repointing.
3.3 REPOINTING
Where joints are greater than 3/4 inches deep, joints shall be pointed in layers or "lifts" leaving the last lift to a uniform joint depth of 3/4 inches deep. Compact each layer at the time it is placed in the joint by applying firm pressure with the pointing
4/7/2016 SECTION 04 20 01 – Page 6 tool. Allow each lift to become thumbprint hard before applying the next lift. Joints shall be tooled until the mortar is thumbprint hard. Horizontal joints shall be tooled last.
Tool joints in exposed exterior and interior masonry surfaces to be slightly concave.
Joints shall be tooled with a jointer slightly larger than the joint width so that complete contact is made along the edges of the unit. Provide mortar and tooled joints between flutes of fluted masonry units (cover full profile). Tooling shall be performed so that the mortar is compressed and the joint surface is sealed.
Finish joints uniformly. Do not overwork.
