03 20 00.00 10 - 4

PART 3 EXECUTION

3.1 REINFORCEMENT

Reinforcement steel and accessories shall be fabricated and placed as specified and shown and approved shop drawings. Fabrication and placement details of steel and accessories not specified or shown shall be in accordance with ACI SP-66 and ACI 318. Reinforcement shall be cold bent unless otherwise authorized. Bending may be accomplished in the field or at the mill.All steel shall be bent cold unless authorized. Bars shall not be bent after embedment in concrete. Safety caps shall be placed on all exposed ends of vertical concrete reinforcement bars that pose a danger to life safety. Wire tie ends shall face away from the forms. Submit detail drawings showing reinforcing steel placement, schedules, sizes, grades, and splicing and bending details. Drawings shall show support details including types, sizes and spacing.

3.1.1 Placement

Reinforcement shall be free from loose rust and scale, dirt, oil, or other deleterious coating that could reduce bond with the concrete.

Reinforcement shall be placed in accordance with ACI 318 at locations shown plus or minus one bar diameter. Reinforcement shall not be continuous through expansion joints and shall be as indicated through construction or contraction joints. Concrete coverage shall be as indicated or as required by ACI 318. If bars are moved more than one bar diameter to avoid interference with other reinforcement, conduits or embedded items, the resulting arrangement of bars, including additional bars required to meet structural requirements, shall be approved before concrete is placed.

3.1.2 Splicing

Splices of reinforcement shall conform to ACI 318 and shall be made only as required or indicated. Splicing shall be by lapping or by mechanical or welded butt connection; except that lap splices shall not be used for bars larger than No. 11 unless otherwise indicated. Welding shall conform to AWS D1.4/D1.4M. Welded butt splices shall be full penetration butt welds.

Lapped bars shall be placed in contact and securely tied or spaced transversely apart to permit the embedment of the entire surface of each bar in concrete. Lapped bars shall not be spaced farther apart than one-fifth the required length of lap or 6 inches. Mechanical butt splices shall be in accordance with the recommendation of the manufacturer of the mechanical splicing device. Butt splices shall develop 125 percent of the specified minimum yield tensile strength of the spliced bars or of the smaller bar in transition splices. Bars shall be flame dried before butt splicing. Adequate jigs and clamps or other devices shall be provided to support, align, and hold the longitudinal centerline of the bars to be butt spliced in a straight line.

3.1.3 Placing Tolerances

3.1.3.1 Spacing

The spacing between adjacent bars and the distance between layers of bars may not vary from the indicated position by more than one bar diameter nor more than 1 inch.

03 20 00.00 10 - 5

3.1.3.2 Reinforcing and Embedments

Reinforcing bars shall be protected by the thickness of concrete indicated on the drawings. Where not otherwise shown, the thickness of concrete over the reinforcement shall be as follows:

Location of Reinforcement Cover in Inches

Concrete cast against and permanently exposed to the earth

Formed surfaces exposed to the earth, or water, or weathering

The allowable variation for minimum cover shall be as follows:

MINIMUM COVER (inch) VARIATION (inch)

6 plus 1/2

4 plus 3/8

3 plus 3/8

2 plus 1/4

1-1/2 plus 1/4

1 plus 1/8

3/4 plus 1/8

Provide all spacers, bolsters, chairs, ties, and other devices necessary to properly space, place, support, and fasten reinforcing in place during the concrete placement. Bolsters, chairs, and accessories shall conform to ACI SP-66 and the CRSI Manual of Standard Practice. Metal accessories shall be galvanized or plastic-coated where legs will be exposed in finished concrete surfaces.

Placement of reinforcement and embedded items shall be in accordance with ACI 17, ACI 301, and the CRSI Manual of Standard Practice. Embedments shall be secured with templates.

When it becomes necessary to splice reinforcing steel at points other than those shown on the drawings, the location and length of splice shall be approved by Engineer. Welding or tack welding of reinforcement will not be permitted.

3.2 DOWEL INSTALLATION

Dowels shall be installed in slabs on grade at locations indicated and at right angles to joint being doweled. Dowels shall be accurately positioned and aligned parallel to the finished concrete surface before concrete placement. Dowels shall be rigidly supported during concrete placement.

One end of dowels shall be coated with a bond breaker.
