7. Ramp Planks: The precast ramp planks shall be 8 inches thick by 4 feet wide by 16 feet long with a one-inch-deep V groove (30 degree) finish. The planks shall have lifting hooks with two layers of epoxy coated # 4 rebar reinforcement one foot on center in each plank. The concrete compressive strength shall be a minimum 5,000 psi.
The planks shall have a tongue and groove connection joint or recessed connection loops to keep the ramp planks fitting snug together.
