1. Install anchor rods, accurately located, to elevations required and complying with tolerances in Section 7.5 of AISC's "Code of Standard Practice for Steel Buildings and Bridges."

2. Install reglets to receive waterproofing and to receive through-wall flashings in outer face of concrete frame at exterior walls, where flashing is shown at lintels, shelf angles, and other conditions.

3. Install dovetail anchor slots in concrete structures as indicated.

3.2 VAPOR RETARDERS

A. Sheet Vapor Retarders: Place, protect, and repair sheet vapor retarder according to ASTM E 1643 and manufacturer's written instructions. Reference Contract Drawings for locations requiring vapor retarder placement.

1. Lap vapor retarder over footings and seal to foundation walls.

4. Repair damaged areas by cutting patches of vapor retarder, overlapping damaged area 6 inches and taping all four sides with manufacturer’s recommended tape.

B. Place vapor retarder on top of the drainage course material and directly below slab at all interior slabs.

3.3 STEEL REINFORCEMENT

A. General: Comply with CRSI's "Manual of Standard Practice" for placing reinforcement.

1. Do not cut or puncture vapor retarder. Repair damage and reseal vapor retarder before placing concrete.

CAST-IN-PLACE CONCRETE 033000 - 14

B. Clean reinforcement of loose rust and mill scale, earth, ice, and other foreign materials that would reduce bond to concrete.

C. Accurately position, support, and secure reinforcement against displacement. Locate and support reinforcement with bar supports to maintain minimum concrete cover. Do not tack weld crossing reinforcing bars.

1. Weld reinforcing bars according to AWS D1.4, where indicated on Contract Drawings.

D. Set wire ties with ends directed into concrete, not toward exposed concrete surfaces.

E. Install welded wire reinforcement in longest practicable lengths on bar supports spaced to minimize sagging. Lap edges and ends of adjoining sheets at least one mesh spacing. Offset laps of adjoining sheet widths to prevent continuous laps in either direction. Lace overlaps with wire.

3.4 JOINTS

A. General: Construct joints true to line with faces perpendicular to surface plane of concrete.

B. Construction Joints: Install so strength and appearance of concrete are not impaired, at locations indicated or as approved by Architect.

1. Place joints perpendicular to main reinforcement. Continue reinforcement across construction joints unless otherwise indicated. Do not continue reinforcement through sides of strip placements of floors and slabs.

2. Form keyed joints as indicated. Embed keys at least 1-1/2 inches into concrete or as indicated on Contract Drawings.

3. Locate joints for beams, slabs, joists, and girders in the middle third of spans. Offset joints in girders a minimum distance of twice the beam width from a beam-girder intersection.

4. Do not locate construction joints between lateral bracing elements of walls and columns.

5. Locate horizontal joints in walls and columns at underside of floors, slabs, beams, and girders and at the top of footings or floor slabs.

6. Space vertical joints in walls as indicated on the Contract Drawings or on the approved submittals. Locate joints beside piers integral with walls, near corners, and in concealed locations where possible.

7. Use a bonding agent at locations where fresh concrete is placed against hardened or partially hardened concrete surfaces.

8. Use epoxy-bonding adhesive at locations where fresh concrete is placed against hardened or partially hardened concrete surfaces.

C. Contraction (Control) Joints in Slabs-on-Grade: Within 12 hours of pouring slabs, form weakened-plane contraction joints, sectioning concrete into areas as indicated on the Contract Drawings. Construct contraction joints for a depth equal to at least one-fourth of concrete thickness as follows:

1. Sawed Joints: Form contraction joints with power saws equipped with shatterproof abrasive or diamond-rimmed blades. Cut joints into concrete when cutting action will not tear, abrade, or otherwise damage surface and before concrete develops random contraction cracks.

a. Primary Method: Soft-Cut System method, by Soff-Cut International, Corona, CA

(800) 776-3328. Finisher must have documented successful experience in the use

CAST-IN-PLACE CONCRETE 033000 - 15

of this method prior to this project. Install cuts within 2 hours after final finish at each saw cut location. Use 1/4 inch thick blade, cutting 1-1/4 inch into slab.

b. Optional Method (Where Soft-Cut System Method Equipment is Not Available):

Properly time cutting with the set of the concrete. Saw-Cut control joints within 12 hours after finishing. Start cutting as soon as the concrete has hardened sufficiently to prevent aggregates being dislodged by the saw. Complete cutting before shrinkage stresses become sufficient to produce cracking. Use 1/4 inch thick blade, cutting 1-1/4 inch into slab.

2. Spacing: Provide joints at locations as noted on Contract Drawings.

a. Placement of saw joints must be coordinated with the tile joints and this requirement governs over locations shown on the Contract Drawings.

D. Isolation Joints in Slabs-on-Grade: After removing formwork, install joint-filler strips at slab junctions with vertical surfaces, such as column pedestals, foundation walls, grade beams, and other locations, as indicated on Contract Drawings.

1. Extend joint-filler strips full width and depth of joint, terminating flush with finished concrete surface unless otherwise indicated on Contract Drawings.

2. Terminate full-width joint -filler strips not less than 1/2 inch or more than 1 inch below finished concrete surface where joint sealants, specified in Section 079200 "Joint Sealants," are indicated.

3. Install joint-filler strips in lengths as long as practicable. Where more than one length is required, lace or clip sections together.

E. Doweled Joints: Install dowel bars and support assemblies at joints as noted on the Contract Drawings. Lubricate or asphalt coat one-half of dowel length to prevent concrete bonding to one side of joint. In lieu of dowels, plate dowel system approved by the Engineer of Record may be used at Contractor’s option.

3.5 WATERSTOPS

A. Self-Expanding Strip Waterstops: Install in construction joints and at other locations indicated on Contract Drawings, according to manufacturer's written instructions, adhesive bonding or mechanically fastening, and firmly pressing into place. Install in longest lengths practicable.

B. Preformed Plastic Adhesive Waterstops: Install in construction joints and at other locations indicated on Contract Drawings, according to manufacturer’s written instruction, bonding or mechanically fastening and firmly pressing into place. Install in longest lengths practicable.

3.6 CONCRETE PLACEMENT

A. Before placing concrete, verify that installation of formwork, reinforcement, and embedded items is complete and that required inspections have been performed.

B. Precautions to protect fresh concrete from developing plastic shrinkage cracks must be taken in advance of concrete placement when evaporation rate due to any combination of temperature, humidity, and wind velocity is expected to approach 0.2 lb./sq. ft./hr. as determined by ACI 305R. Acceptable precautions to reduce the rate of evaporation include use of wind breaks, fog spray, covering with polyethylene sheeting, or wet cover.

CAST-IN-PLACE CONCRETE 033000 - 16

C. Do not add water to concrete during delivery, at Project site, or during placement unless approved by the Structural Engineer-of-Record.
