PART-3 EXECUTION

42.1 Preparation for Concrete Placement: Clean and remove loose concrete and thoroughly was exposed surfaces to receive concrete. Remove all debris, dirt clods and other objectionable material from work area that may be deleterious to concrete. Surfaces shall be coated with an epoxy bonding agent.

42.1.1 Forms, Reinforcement and Miscellaneous Materials: Attach forms to side of foundation and secure in place as specified in section 03200 and in accordance with all applicable standards. Square and properly align forms with existing foundation. Use form oil on interior of all forms.

42.1.2 Expansion Joints: Place fiberboard expansion joint material into forms at joint locations shown on drawings. Upon cure of concrete, seal top of fiberboard with elastomeric sealant.

42.2 Measuring, Mixing, Conveying and Placing Concrete:

42.2.1 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.

42.2.2 Placing: 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. 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.

42.2.3 Hot Weather: ACI 305. Concrete temperature from initial mixing through final cure shall not exceed 90 degrees F. Shade the fresh concrete and start curing as soon as the surface of the fresh concrete is sufficiently hard to permit curing.

42.3 Finishing:

Concrete shall be flush with tops of forms. Immediately bull float the surface with wooden tools so as to correct any unevenness. Complete striking-off before bleed water appears. Drag bleed water off using a rubber hose.

42.3.2 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. Once concrete has attained sufficient set, texture surface using a stiff bristle broom transverse to the direction of traffic.

42.3.3 Edging and Jointing: Once finish is attained, hand tool expansion joints, evenly spaced, and edging in concrete surfaces. All edging and shrinkage crack control joints shall be scored into the concrete with hand tools prior to final concrete.

42.4 Curing and Protection: Protect concrete adequately from injurious action by weather and mechanical injury for a minimum of 72 hours. Keep concrete moist during curing period.
