About this file

This file is a technical specification section (Section 03 30 00) for Cast-in-Place Concrete for a military construction project at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, specifically a Special Operations Forces (SOF) Armory located at Stone Bay. The detailed 50-page document provides comprehensive technical requirements for concrete materials, mix designs, testing, placement, curing, and quality control procedures.

Key technical specifications include requirements for concrete materials such as Portland cement, fly ash, aggregates, and admixtures; detailed mix design parameters for different exposure classes and strength requirements; comprehensive testing protocols including compressive strength tests, air content testing, and concrete durability standards; and specific installation guidelines covering everything from formwork and reinforcement to joints, finishing, and curing. The specification is part of a larger technical revision for a construction project dated September 2025, with work order number 1701821, and is intended to ensure high-quality, durable concrete construction that meets military engineering standards.

b. "Exposed to public view" means situated so that it can be seen from eye level from a public location after completion of the building. A public location is accessible to persons not responsible for operation or maintenance of the building.

c. "Chemical admixtures" are materials in the form of powder or fluids that are added to the concrete to give it certain characteristics not obtainable with plain concrete mixes.

d. "Supplementary cementing materials" (SCM) include coal fly ash, silica fume, slag cement, natural or calcined pozzolans, and ultra-fine coal ash when used in such proportions to replace the portland cement that result in improvement to sustainability and durability and reduced cost.

e. "Design strength" (f'c) is the specified compressive strength of concrete at time(s) specified in this section to meet structural design criteria.

f. "Mass Concrete" is any concrete system that approaches a maximum temperature of 158 degrees F within the first 72 hours of placement.

In addition, it includes all concrete elements with a section thickness of 3 feet or more regardless of temperature.

g. "Mixture proportioning" is the process of designing concrete mixture proportions to enable it to meet the strength, service life and

SECTION 03 30 00 Page 6 constructability requirements of the project while minimizing the initial and life-cycle cost.

h. "Mixture proportions" are the masses or volumes of individual ingredients used to make a unit measure (cubic meter or cubic yard) of concrete.

i. "Pozzolan" is a siliceous or siliceous and aluminous material, which in itself possesses little or no cementitious value but will, in finely divided form and in the presence of moisture, chemically react with calcium hydroxide at ordinary temperatures to form compounds possessing cementitious properties.

j. "Workability (or consistence)" is the ability of a fresh (plastic) concrete mix to fill the form/mould properly with the desired work (vibration) and without reducing the concrete's quality. Workability depends on water content, chemical admixtures, aggregate (shape and size distribution), cementitious content and age (level of hydration).
