*Fine and coarse aggregates shall be batched separately to avoid segregation

Water – Fresh, clean, potable mixing water or nonpotable water which meets the requirements of COECRD-C 400 shall be used.

Admixtures - Admixtures to be used, when required or approved, shall comply with the appropriate sections of ASTM C-1141. Except as otherwise accepted, soluble admixtures shall be dissolved in water before introduction into the concrete mixture.

(i) Accelerators - When accelerating admixtures complying with ASTM C-1141, Type II, Grade 1, are to be used, the Contractor shall establish the accelerator compatibility of the job cement and the proposed accelerators using ASTM C-266, except as modified herein. The powdered accelerator shall be blended with 50 grams of cement until uniform and 15 milliliters of water shall then be added. The liquid accelerator shall first be mixed with 15 milliliters of water and then added to 50 grams of cement. Three percent of the proposed accelerator by mass of cement shall be used as a starting point. Mixing shall be accomplished within 15 seconds. The specimen shall be molded within 1 minute of adding the mixing water. If initial set is 2 minutes or less and a final set is 10 minutes or less, the accelerator is considered compatible. If these values are not achieved in the first test, additional tests shall be run using 2 percent and 4 percent of accelerator.

Curing Materials - Curing materials shall meet the following requirements.

(i) Impervious Sheet Materials - ASTM C 171, type optional except polyethylene film, if used, shall be white opaque.

(ii) Membrane-Forming Curing Compound - ASTM C 309, Type I-D or Type 2.

Air Content - Air-entraining admixture shall be used in such proportion that the air content of the concrete prior to placement shall be 8 plus or minus (+/-) 1.0 percent as determined by ASTM C231.

Repair of Defects Defective areas larger than 48 square inches or 2 inches deep shall be removed and replaced with fresh concrete. These defects include honeycombing, lamination, dry patches, voids, or sand pockets. All repairs shall be made within 1 week of the time the deficiency is discovered. All unacceptable materials shall be removed and repaired by the following procedure:

(i)Minor Patching - Minor patching may be accomplished with a dry-pack mixture, or with materials as approved by the Contracting Officer. Patches that exceed 0.1 cubic foot in volume shall receive a brush coat of approved epoxy resin meeting ASTM C-881, Type II, as a prime coat. Care shall be taken not to spill epoxy or overcoat the repair surface so that the epoxy runs or is squeezed out onto the surface which will remain exposed to view. Epoxy resin shall be used in strict conformance with manufacturer's recommendations with special attention paid to pot life, safety, and thin film tack time.

Curing and Protection Initial Curing - Immediately after finishing, concrete shall be kept continuously moist for at least 3 days.

One of the following materials or methods shall be used:

A. Ponding or continuous sprinkling.

B. Absorptive mat or fabric, sand, or other covering kept continuously wet.

C. Curing Compounds. On natural gun finishes, use the coverage application requirement of 100 square feet per gallon or twice the manufacturer's requirement, whichever is less. Curing compounds shall not be used on any surfaces against which additional concrete or other cementitious finishing materials are to be bonded unless positive measures, such as sandblasting, are taken to completely remove curing compounds prior to the application of such additional materials.

Final Curing - Additional curing shall be provided immediately following the initial curing and before the concrete has dried. One of the following materials or methods shall be used:

A. Continue the method used in initial curing.

B. Application of impervious sheet material conforming to ASTM C-171.

Duration of Curing - Curing shall be continued for the first 7 days after concreting or until the specified compressive strength of the in-place concrete as determined by specimens obtained and tested in accordance with ASTM C-42 is achieved.

Temperature Considerations - The air temperature in contact with the concrete shall be continuously maintained at a temperature above 40 degrees F for at least 3 days after placement. No concrete shall be applied when the concrete surface or air in contact with the concrete surface is below 40 degrees F.

Tests Strength Testing - Test specimens shall be initially cured on-site, then shall be transported in an approved manner to an approved testing laboratory meeting the requirements of ASTM C-I077 within 48 hours of scheduled testing time.

Test Cores - Test cores shall be drilled from the structure at least 40 hours prior to testing and tested in accordance with ASTM C-1140. A set of three cores shall be taken not less than once each shift that concrete is placed, not less than once for each 50 cubic yards of concrete placed through the nozzle. The diameter of core specimens shall be determined in accordance with ASTM C-42.

Compressive Strength - The compressive strength of the shotcrete shall be determined from the average of three cores obtained from a test panel representing a specific volume of shotcrete and tested on the third day after panel fabrication.

Aggregate Moisture - Prior to batching the concrete and at least once during a shift in which concrete is being batched, the coarse and fine aggregate moisture content shall be determined in accordance with ASTM C-566. The batch weights of both the aggregates and mixing water shall be appropriately adjusted to account for the available free moisture in the aggregates. The amount of free moisture in the aggregates, expressed as pounds of water per cubic yard, shall be recorded on the batching ticket and delivered to the Contracting Officer prior to placement during the shift. The Contracting Officer will have the option to request additional aggregate moisture content tests for each of the required tests.

Grading – The determined prior to batching the concrete and at least once during a shift in which concrete is being batched. The Contracting Officer will have the option to require one additional sieve analysis tests for aggregate type.

Thickness - The minimum concrete thickness shall be as shown in the drawings. The unhardened concrete shall be checked for thickness using a probe by the nozzleman or laborer at the time of placement. These thickness checks shall be at 15-minute intervals and all low or thin areas shall be corrected by applying additional concrete.

Mixture Proportions - Record and check mixture proportions at least once per shift for weight batching.

Record and check mixture proportions as recommended by ASTM C-685 at least once per shift for volumetric batching and continuous mixing plants.

Approximate quantities consist of 5 cubic yards of concrete for the spillway wall, and 150 feet of reinforcement.

It is necessary that the work be accomplished with caution to avoid damage to buildings, utilities, fences and roadway. All lands, including but not limited to haul roads, parking lots, and work areas that are damaged due to construction operations shall be returned to original conditions. All debris shall be removed from the project area.

All grassy areas that are damaged due to construction operations shall be restored to original conditions with a native seed mixture that matches the surrounding area as approved by the Contracting Officer.

Seeded areas shall be maintained by the Contractor until an acceptable stand of grass is established and approved by the Contracting Officer.

The Contractor shall furnish the Contracting Officer photographs to depict progress of construction. The photography shall be performed before work begins, after clearing, and at the project completion. The photographs shall digital and shall be identified showing dates made, contract title and number, location of work, and a brief description of work depicted.
