SECTION 32 13 14.13

CONCRETE PAVING FOR AIRFIELD PAVEMENT

PART 1 GENERAL

1.1 Lump Sum

1.1.1 Payment

The quantity of concrete will be paid for and included in the lump-sum contract price. If less than 100 percent payment is due based on the pay factors stipulated below, a unit price of $900 per cubic yard will be used for purposes of calculating the payment reduction. Payment will constitute full compensation for all materials, equipment, plant and tools, and for all labor and other incidentals necessary to complete the concrete pavement, except for other items specified herein for separate payment.

1.1.2 Payment of Lots

When a lot of material fails to meet the specification requirements, that lot will be accepted at a reduced price or be removed and replaced. The lowest computed percent payment determined for any pavement characteristic discussed below (for example, thickness, grade, and surface smoothness) becomes the actual percent payment for that lot. The actual percent payment will be applied to the unit price and the measured quantity of concrete in the lot to determine actual payment. Use results of strength tests to control concreting operations. Strength will be evaluated, but will not be considered for payment adjustment. Remove and replace any pavement not meeting the required 'Concrete Strength for Final Acceptance' at no additional cost to the Government.

1.1.3 Payment Adjustment for Smoothness

1.1.3.1 Straightedge Testing

Record location and deviation from straightedge for all measurements.

When more than 5.0 and less than or equal to 10.0 percent of all measurements made within a lot exceed the tolerance specified in paragraph SURFACE SMOOTHNESS, after any reduction of high spots or removal and replacement, the computed percent payment based on surface smoothness will be 95 percent. When more than 10.0 percent and less than or equal to 15.0 percent of all measurements exceed the tolerance, the computed percent payment will be 90 percent. When more than 15.0 and less than or equal to

20.0 percent of all measurements exceed the tolerance, the computed percent payment will be 75 percent. Remove and replace the lot when more than 20.0 percent of the measurements exceed the tolerance, at no additional cost to the Government.

1.1.4 Payment Adjustment for Plan Grade

When more than 5.0 and less than or equal to 10.0 percent of all measurements made within a lot are outside the specified tolerance, the computed percent payment for that lot will be 95 percent. When more than

SECTION 32 13 14.13 Page 5

10.0 percent but less than 50 percent are outside the specified tolerances, the computed percent payment for the lot will be 75 percent.

Remove and replace the deficient area where the deviation from grade exceeds the specified tolerances by 50 percent or more, at no additional cost to the Government.

1.1.5 Payment Adjustment for Thickness

Using the Average Thickness of the lot, determine the computed percent payment for thickness by entering the following table:

Computed Percent Payment for Thickness

Deficiency in Thickness Determined by cores inches

Pavements Less Than 8 inches Thick

0.00 to 0.24 100

0.25 to 0.49 65

0.50 or greater 0

Where 0 percent payment is indicated, remove the entire lot and replace at no additional cost to the Government. Where either of the two cores from a sublot show a thickness deficiency of 0.5 inch or greater, drill two more cores in the sublot and compute the average thickness of the four cores. If this average shows a thickness deficiency of 0.5 inch or more remove the entire sublot.

Schedule and provide payment for laboratory inspections. Additional payment or a time extension due to failure to acquire the required laboratory validation is not allowed. The laboratory is to maintain this certification for the duration of the project.

1.4.4 Preconstruction Testing of Materials

All sampling and testing is required to be performed. Use an approved commercial laboratory or, for cementitious materials and chemical admixtures, a laboratory maintained by the manufacturer of the material.

Materials are not allowed to be used until notice of acceptance has been given. Additional payment or extension of time due to failure of any material to meet project requirements, or for any additional sampling or testing required is not allowed. Additional tests may be performed by the Government; such Government testing does not relieve any required testing responsibilities.

1.4.4.1 Aggregates

Sample aggregates in the presence of a Government Representative. Obtain samples in accordance with ASTM D75/D75M and be representative of the materials to be used for the project. Perform all aggregate tests no earlier than 120 days prior to contract award.

SECTION 32 13 14.13 Page 13 not been used within 6 months after testing, and reject if test results do not meet manufacturer requirements.

1.4.5 Testing During Construction

During construction, sample and test aggregates, cementitious materials, and concrete as specified herein. The Government will sample and test concrete and ingredient materials as considered appropriate. Provide facilities and labor as may be necessary for procurement of representative test samples. Testing by the Government does not relieve the specified testing requirements.

1.4.6 Test Section

Operate and calibrate the mixing plant prior to start of placing the test sections. Do not construct the test sections prior to receiving approval for uniformity testing. Construct the pilot lane and fill-in lane test sections on two separate days using the projects approved mixture proportions. Construct test sections with the same pavement section and placement width proposed for production paving. The underlying grade or pavement structure upon which the test sections are to be constructed is required to be the same as the remainder of the course represented by the test sections. Perform variations in mixture proportions, other than water, if directed. Use the same equipment, materials, and construction techniques on the test sections proposed for use in all subsequent work.

Perform base course preparation, concrete production, placing, consolidating, texturing, curing, construction of joints, and all testing in accordance with applicable provisions of this specification. Three days after completion of the test sections, provide and evaluate eight cores with a minimum diameter of 6 inches by full depth cut from points selected in the test sections by the Government. Construct the test sections meeting all specification requirements and being acceptable in all aspects, including plastic and hardened concrete properties, surface texture, thickness, grade, and longitudinal and transverse joint alignment. Failure to construct an acceptable test section necessitates construction of additional test sections at no additional cost to the Government. Do not commence production paving until the results on aggregates and concrete, including evaluation of cores, and all pavement measurements for edge slump, joint face deformation, actual plan grade, surface smoothness and thickness have been submitted and approved. Remove test sections which do not meet specification requirements at no expense to the Government. If slipform paving is performed and is unable to construct an acceptable test section, repair or replace the slipform paving equipment, or paving completed using fixed-forms and equipment compatible with them and allowed by the specification. Pavement accepted as a production lot will be evaluated and paid as specified in PART 1 GENERAL. Use the test sections to develop and demonstrate the proposed techniques of mixing, hauling, placing, consolidating, finishing, texturing, curing, initial saw cutting, start-up procedures, sampling, testing methods, plant operations, and the preparation of the construction joints for production paving.

1.4.6.1 Pilot Lane

Up to 10 days, but not more than 60 days, prior to construction of the concrete pavement, construct a test section as part of the production paving area at an outer edge as indicated on the drawings. Construct the test section consisting of one paving lane at least 200 feet long and to the same thickness as the thickest portion of pavement shown on the

SECTION 32 13 14.13 Page 14

Drawings. Construct at the same lane width as that required for use in the project. If doweled longitudinal construction joints are required in any of the production pavements, install them full length along one side of the test lane throughout the test section.

1.4.6.2 Fill-In Lane

A fill-in lane is defined as full width concrete placement using two adjacent existing lanes as forms. Consider the first 200 feet of the initial production fill-in lane as a fill-in lane test section for purposes of testing and evaluation. All requirements for the test section are applicable. Obtain cores from the fill-in lane side of the longitudinal construction joint with the pilot lane.

1.4.7 Acceptability of Work

The materials and the pavement itself will be accepted on the basis of production testing. The Government may make check tests to validate the results of the production testing. If the results of the production testing vary by less than 2.0 percent of the Government's test results, the results of the production testing will be used. If the results of the Government and production tests vary by 2.0 percent, but less than 4.0 percent, the average of the two will be considered the value to be used.

If these vary by 4.0 percent or more, carefully evaluate each sampling and testing procedure and obtain another series of Government and production tests on duplicate samples of material. If these vary by 4.0 percent or more, use the results of the tests made by the Government and the Government will continue check testing of this item on a continuous basis until the two sets of tests agree within less than 4.0 percent on a regular basis. Testing performed by the Government does not relieve the specified testing requirements.

1.4.8 Acceptance Requirements

1.4.8.1 Pavement Lots

A lot is that quantity of construction to be evaluated for acceptance with specification requirements. A lot is equal to one shift of production not to exceed 500 cubic yards. In order to evaluate thickness, divide each lot into four equal sublots. A sublot is equal to one shift of production not to exceed 125 cubic yards. Grade determinations will be made on the lot as a whole. Surface smoothness determinations will be made on every segment in each lot. Select sample locations on a random basis in accordance with ASTM D3665. When operational conditions cause a lot to be terminated before the specified four sublots have been completed, use the following procedure to adjust the lot size and number of tests for the lot. Where three sublots have been completed, they constitute a lot.

Where one or two sublots have been completed, incorporate them into the next lot (except for the last lot), and the total number of sublots used and acceptance criteria adjusted accordingly.

1.4.8.2 Evaluation

Provide all sampling and testing required for acceptance and payment adjustment, including batch tickets with all required acceptance testing.

Individuals performing sampling, testing and inspection duties are required to meet the Qualifications. The Government reserves the right to direct additional samples and tests for any area which appears to deviate from the specification requirements. Testing in these areas are in

SECTION 32 13 14.13 Page 15 addition to the sublot or lot testing, and the requirements for these areas are the same as those for a sublot or lot. Provide facilities for and, where directed, personnel to assist in obtaining samples for any Government testing.

1.5 DELIVERY, STORAGE, AND HANDLING

1.5.1 Bulk Cementitious Materials

Provide all cementitious materials in bulk at a temperature, as delivered to storage at the site, not exceeding 150 degrees F. Provide sufficient cementitious materials in storage to sustain continuous operation of the concrete mixing plant while the pavement is being placed. Provide separate facilities to prevent any intermixing during unloading, transporting, storing, and handling of each type of cementitious material.

1.5.2 Aggregate Materials

Store aggregate at the site of the batching and mixing plant avoiding breakage, segregation, intermixing or contamination by foreign materials.

Store each size of aggregate from each source separately in free-draining stockpiles. Provide a minimum 24 inch thick sacrificial layer left undisturbed for each aggregate stored on ground. Provide free-draining storage for fine aggregate and the smallest size coarse aggregate for at least 24 hours immediately prior to use. Maintain sufficient aggregate at the site at all times to permit continuous uninterrupted operation of the mixing plant at the time concrete pavement is being placed. Do not allow tracked equipment on coarse aggregate stockpiles.

1.5.3 Other Materials

Store reinforcing bars and accessories above the ground on supports.

Store all materials to avoid contamination and deterioration.

PART 2 PRODUCTS

2.1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

This section is intended to stand alone for construction of concrete pavement. However, where the construction covered herein interfaces with other sections, construct each interface to conform to the requirements of both this section and the other section, including tolerances for both.

2.1.1 Surface Smoothness

Use the straightedge method for transverse and longitudinal testing, and at the ends of the paving limits for the project. Smoothness requirements do not apply over crowns, swales, drainage structures, or similar penetration. Maintain detailed notes of the testing results and provide a copy to the Government after each day's testing.

2.1.1.1 Straightedge Testing

Provide the finished surfaces of the pavements with no abrupt change of 1/4 inch or more, and all pavements within the limits specified when checked with an approved 12 foot straightedge. Provide hangar access apron and wash rack with a variation from a straight edge not greater than 1/8 inch in either the longitudinal or transverse direction.

SECTION 32 13 14.13 Page 16

2.1.1.2 Testing Method

After the concrete has hardened sufficiently to permit walking thereon, but not later than 48 hours after placement, test the entire surface of the pavement in each lot in such a manner as to reveal all surface irregularities exceeding the tolerances specified above. If any pavement areas are diamond ground, retest these areas immediately after diamond grinding. Test the entire area of the pavement in both a longitudinal and a transverse direction on parallel lines. Perform the transverse lines 15 feet or less apart, as directed. Perform the longitudinal lines at the centerline of each paving lane shown on the drawings, regardless of whether multiple lanes are allowed to be paved at the same time, and at the 1/8th point in from each side of the lane. Also test other areas having obvious deviations. Perform longitudinal testing lines continuous across all joints. Perform transverse testing lines for pilot lanes carried to construction joint lines and for fill-in lanes carried 24 inches across construction joints, and the readings in this area applied to the fill-in lane. Perform straightedge testing of the longitudinal edges of slipformed pilot lanes before paving fill-in lanes as specified below.

2.1.1.2.1 Straightedge Testing

Hold the straightedge in contact with the surface and moved ahead one-half the length of the straightedge for each successive measurement. Determine the amount of surface irregularity by placing the freestanding (unleveled) straightedge on the pavement surface and measuring the maximum gap between the straightedge and the pavement surface. Determine measurements along the entire length of the straight edge.

2.1.2 Edge Slump and Joint Face Deformation

2.1.2.1 Edge Slump

When slip-form paving is used, provide a maximum of 15.0 percent of the total free edge of each pavement panel with a maximum edge slump of 1/4 inch and none of the free edge of the pavement lot with an edge slump exceeding 3/8 inch. (A pavement panel is defined as a lane width by the length between two adjacent transverse contraction joints. The total free edge of the pavement is the cumulative total linear measurement of pavement panel edge originally constructed as non-adjacent to any existing pavement; for example, 100 feet of pilot lane originally constructed as a separate lane, would have 200 feet of free edge; 100 feet of fill-in lane would have no free edge.) The area affected by the downward movement of the concrete along the pavement edge is a maximum of 18 inches back from the edge.

2.1.2.2 Joint Face Deformation

In addition to the edge slump limits specified above, provide a vertical joint face with a surface within the maximum limits shown below:

SECTION 32 13 14.13 Page 17

Offset from Straightedge Applied Longitudinally to Pavement Surface (a)

Offset from Straightedge Applied Longitudinally to Vertical Face (b)

Offset from Straightedge Applied Top to Bottom Against the Joint Face (c)

Abrupt Offset in Any Direction (d)

Offset of Joint Face from True Vertical (e)

Airfield Pavement

1/8 inch 1/4 inch 3/8 inch 1/8 inch 1 inch per 12 inches

(a) Measurement is taken by placing the straightedge longitudinally on the pavement surface 1 inch from the free edge.

(b) Measurement is taken by applying the straightedge longitudinally along the vertical joint face.

(c) Measurement places a 3/8 inch spacer attached to a straightedge and spaced approximately equal to the thickness of the concrete being measured. The offset from straightedge with spacers is measured by placing the spacers against the top and bottom of the vertical concrete face.

(d) An abrupt offset in the joint face occurring along a short distance. Check for abrupt offsets at any location that an abrupt offset appears to be a possible issue.

(e) Measurement of the offset from the joint face to a level in the true vertical position against the joint face.

2.1.2.3 Slump Determination

Test the pavement surface to determine edge slump immediately after the concrete has hardened sufficiently to permit walking thereon. Perform testing with a minimum 12 foot straightedge to reveal irregularities exceeding the edge slump tolerance specified above. Determine the vertical edge slump at each free edge of each slipformed paving lane constructed. Place the straightedge transverse to the direction of paving and the end of the straightedge located at the edge of the paving lane.

Record measurements at 5 to 10 foot spacings, as directed, commencing at the header where paving was started. Initially record measurements at 5 foot intervals in each lane. When no deficiencies are present after 5 measurements, the interval may be increased. The maximum interval is 10 feet. When any deficiencies exist, return the interval to 5 feet. In addition to the transverse edge slump determination above, at the same time, record the longitudinal surface smoothness of the joint on a continuous line 1 inch back from the joint line using the 12 foot straightedge advanced one-half its length for each reading. Perform other tests of the exposed joint face to ensure that a uniform, true vertical joint face is attained. Properly reference all recorded measurements in accordance with paving lane identification and stationing, and a report submitted within 24 hours after measurement is made. Identify areas requiring replacement within the report.

2.1.2.4 Excessive Edge Slump

When edge slump exceeding the limits specified above is encountered on either side of the paving lane, record additional straightedge measurements to define the linear limits of the excessive slump. Remove and replace concrete slabs having excessive edge slump or joint deformation to the next transverse joint in conformance with paragraph REPAIR, REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT OF NEWLY CONSTRUCTED SLABS. Discontinue

SECTION 32 13 14.13 Page 18 use of slip-form paving equipment and procedures that fail to consistently provide edges within the specified tolerances on edge slump and joint face deformation construct by means of standard paving procedures using fixed forms.

2.1.3 Plan Grade

Within 5 days after paving of each lot, test the finished surface of the pavement area by running lines of levels at intervals corresponding with every longitudinal and transverse joint to determine the elevation at each joint intersection. Record the results of this survey and provide a copy to the Government at the completion of the survey of each lot. Provide finished surfaces of all airfield pavements that vary less than 1/2 inch above or below the plan grade line or elevation indicated. The above deviations from the approved grade line and elevation are not permitted in areas where closer conformance with the planned grade and elevation is required for the proper functioning of appurtenant structures. Provide finished surfaces of new abutting pavements that coincide at their juncture. Provide horizontal control of the finished surfaces of all airfield pavements that vary not more than 1/2 inch from the plan alignment indicated.

2.1.4 Flexural Strength

Submit certified copies of laboratory test reports and sources for cement, supplementary cementitious materials (SCM), aggregates, admixtures, curing compound, epoxy, and proprietary patching materials proposed for use on this project. Each lot of pavement will be evaluated for acceptance in accordance with the following procedures.

2.1.4.1 Sampling and Testing

For acceptance, obtain one composite sample of concrete from each sublot in accordance with ASTM C172/C172M from one batch or truckload. Fabricate and cure test beams 6 x 6 inches in accordance with ASTM C31/C31M; and tested at 14 days in accordance with ASTM C78/C78M.

2.1.4.2 Computations

Average the eight 14-day strength tests for the lot. Use the average strength in accordance with paragraph CONCRETE STRENGTH FOR FINAL ACCEPTANCE in PART 2.

2.1.5 Thickness

Each lot of pavement will be evaluated for acceptance and payment adjustment in accordance with the following procedure. Drill two cores, between 4 and 6 inches in diameter, from the pavement, per sublot (8 per lot). Drill the cores within 3 days after lot placement, filling the core holes with an approved concrete mix or non-shrink concrete, respraying the cored areas with curing compound, and for measuring the cores. Provide the results with the thickness measurement data. Record eight measurements of thickness around the circumference of each core and one in the center, in accordance with ASTM C174/C174M.
