Mixers may be stationary, truck, or paving mixers of approved design. They shall becapable of combining the materials into a uniform mixture and of discharging withoutmixture segregation. Stationary and paving mixers shall be provided with an acceptabledevice to lock the discharge mechanism until the required mixing time has elapsed. Themixers or mixing plant shall include a device for automatically counting the total numberof batches of concrete mixed. The mixers shall be operated at the drum or mixing bladespeed designated by the Manufacturer on the name plate.B. The mixing time for stationary mixers shall be based upon the mixer's ability to produceuniform concrete throughout the batch and from batch to batch. For guidance purposes,the manufacturer's recommendations, or one (1) minute for one (1) cubic yard plus 1/4minute for each additional cubic yard may be used. Final mixing time shall be based onmixer performance. Mixers shall not be charged in excess of the capacity specified bythe manufacturer.C.

Notify the <strong>Contract</strong>ing Officer upon completion of various portions of the work requiredfor placing concrete, so that inspection may be made as early as possible. Keep the<strong>Contract</strong>ing Officer informed of the anticipated concrete placing schedules.B. All items, including lines and grades, forms, waterstops, reinforcing, inserts, piping,electrical, plumbing and the <strong>Contract</strong>or's concreting materials and equipment shall be incompliance with the plans and <strong>specifications</strong> before proceeding.C. Do not place any concrete until formwork and the placing reinforcement in that unit iscomplete. Place no concrete before the completion of all adjacent operations whichmight prove detrimental to the concrete.D. Brilliantly light the work site so that all operations are plainly visible when concretemixing, placing, and finishing continues after daylight. Whenever possible, concretefinishing shall be completed in daylight hours.E. When placing concrete, the forms shall be clean and entirely free from all chips, dirt,sawdust and other extraneous matter. Forms for slab, beam and girder construction shallnot have tie wire cuttings, nails, or any other matter which would mar the appearance ofthe finished construction. Clean forms and keep them free of any foreign matter duringconcrete placing.3.02 EXPANSION JOINTS AND DEVICES:A. EXPANSION JOINTS:Construct expansion joints and devices to provide expansion and contraction. Constructjoints which are to be left open or filled with poured joint material with forms which areadaptable for loosening or early removal. In order to avoid jamming by the expansionaction of the concrete and the consequent likelihood of injuring adjacent concrete,remove or loosen these forms as soon as possible after the concrete has initially set.Make provisions for loosening the forms to permit free concrete expansion withoutrequiring full removal.B. WORKMANSHIP:Exercise careful workmanship in joint construction to separate the concrete sections byan open joint or by the joint materials, and make the joints true to the outline indicated.3.03 CONSTRUCTION JOINTS:A. Construction joints are formed by placing plastic concrete in direct contact with concretewhich has attained its initial set. When concrete is specified as monolithic, the term shall03300-18


FTWIC-2235June, 2009be interpreted as the manner and sequence of concrete placing so that construction jointsdo not occur.B. Additional horizontal and vertical construction joints, when submitted and approved bythe <strong>Contract</strong>ing Officer, may have an impact on reinforcing details. Revise reinforcingdetails to reflect additional joints.C. Unless otherwise provided, construction joints shall be square and normal to the forms.Provide bulkheads in the forms for all joints except horizontal joints.D. At the proper time, clean horizontal construction joints for receiving the succeeding liftusing air-water cutting. The surface shall be exposed sound, clean aggregate. The airpressure supply to the jet shall be approximately 100 lbs. per square inch, and the waterpressure sufficient to bring the water into effective influence of the air pressure. Aftercutting, wash the surface until there is no trace of cloudiness in the wash water.E. In areas where air-water cutting cannot be satisfactorily accomplished, or in areas whereit is undesirable to disturb the surface of the concrete before it has hardened, prepare thesurface for receiving the next lift by wet sand blasting to immediately remove all laitanceand unsound concrete prior to placing of the next lift. Thoroughly wash the surface ofthe concrete after sand blasting to remove all loose material.F. For horizontal joints in walls, immediately prior to the placement of additional concrete,draw forms tight against the concrete and place a 3" coating of normal shrinkage grout.G. Provide construction joints with concrete keyways, reinforcing steel dowels, andwaterstops. The method of forming keys in keyed joints shall permit the easy removal offorms without chipping, breaking, or damaging the concrete.3.04 EXISTING HARDENED CONCRETE:Where new concrete or grout, except epoxy structural grout, is to be placed in contact withexisting hardened concrete, texture the existing surface by chipping or other means so that anirregular surface having a height variance of not less than 1/4" is created. The existing concreteshall then be coated with an epoxy bonding agent and new concrete or grout placed.3.05 HANDLING AND TRANSPORTING:A. Arrange and use chutes, troughs, or pipes as aids in placing concrete so that theingredients of the concrete are not segregated. They shall be steel or steel lined. Whensteep slopes are necessary, equip the chutes with baffles or make in short lengths thatreverse the direction of movement. Extend open troughs and chutes, if necessary, insidethe forms or through holes left in the forms. Terminate the ends of these chutes invertical downspouts.B. Keep chutes, troughs and pipes clean and free from coatings of hardened concrete bythoroughly flushing with water before and after placement. Discharge water used forflushing away from the concrete in place.C. Concrete pumping is permitted and shall comply with ACI 304.2R.03300-19


FTWIC-2235June, 2009D. Carting or wheeling concrete batches on completed concrete floor slab shall not bepermitted until the slab has aged at least four (4) curing days. Unless pneumatic tiredcarts are used, wheel the carts on timber planking so that the loads and impact aredistributed over the slab. Curing operations shall not be interrupted for the purpose ofwheeling concrete over finished slabs.3.06 DEPOSITING:A. The method and manner of placing shall prevent segregation or separation of theaggregate or the displacement of the reinforcement. Use drop chutes of rubber or metalwhen necessary. Prevent the spattering of forms or reinforcement bars if the spatteredconcrete dries or hardens before it is incorporated into the mass.B. Fill each part of the forms by directly depositing concrete as near its final position aspossible. Work the coarse aggregate back from the face and force the concrete under andaround the reinforcement bars without displacing them. Depositing large quantities atone point in the forms, then running or working it along the forms shall not be permitted.C. After the concrete has taken initial set, the forms shall not be jarred. No force or loadshall be placed upon projecting reinforcement.D. Deposit the concrete through vertical drop chutes of rubber or metal of satisfactory sizewhen operations involve placing concrete from above, such as directly into an excavatedarea, or through the completed forms, particularly in walls, piers, columns, and similarstructures. Drop chutes shall be made in sections or provided in several lengths so thatthe outlet may be adjusted to proper heights during placing.E. Concrete shall not be dropped free more than 5'. Place in continuous horizontal layerswith a depth of from 1' to 3', depending upon the wall thickness. Each layer shall be softwhen a new layer is placed upon it. No more than one (1) hour shall elapse between theplacing of successive concrete layers in any portion of the structures included incontinuous placement.F. Place required sections in one continuous operation to avoid additional constructionjoints.G. If excessive bleeding causes water to form on the surface of the concrete in tall forms,make the mix dryer to reduce the bleeding. In tall walls, place the concrete to a pointabout 1' below the top of the wall and allow to settle. Resume and complete concretingbefore set occurs.H. Place concrete slabs with a finished surface greater (steeper) than one (1) vertical to ten(10) horizontal from bottom to top.3.07 CONSOLIDATING:A. Compact each layer of concrete and flush the mortar to the surface of the forms bycontinuous-working mechanical vibrators. Vibrators which operate by attachment toforms shall not be used. Apply the vibrator to the concrete immediately after deposit.Move vibrator throughout the layer of the newly placed concrete, several inches into the03300-20


FTWIC-2235June, 2009plastic layer below. Thoroughly work the concrete around the reinforcement, embeddedfixtures and into the corners and angles of the forms until it is well-compacted.B. Mechanical vibrators shall not be operated so that they penetrate or disturb previouslyplaced layers which are partially set or hardened. They shall not be used to aid the flowof concrete laterally. The vibration shall be of sufficient duration to completely compactand embed reinforcement and fixtures, but not to an extent causing segregation.C. Keep vibrators constantly moving in the concrete and apply vertically at points uniformlyspaced, not farther apart than the radius over which the vibrator is visibly effective. Thevibrator shall not be held in one location longer than required to produce a liquifiedappearance on the surface.D. When submerged in concrete, internal vibrators shall maintain a frequency of not lessthan 6,000 impulses per minute for spuds with diameters greater than 5" and 10,000impulses for smaller spuds. The vibration intensity (amplitude) shall be sufficient toproduce satisfactory consolidation.E. Provide one (1) vibrator (powered pneumatically or electrically) for each ten (10) cubicyards of concrete per hour being placed. Provide at least one (1) vibrator, which may beof the gasoline powered type, as a standby for each two vibrators in service. To producesatisfactory consolidation, and based upon the observed performance, the <strong>Contract</strong>ingOfficer may require the use of a larger sized and powered vibrator.F. Check vibrators intended for regular service or standby service before beginningconcreting operations.3.08 PLACEMENT IN WATER:A. Deposit concrete in water only when dry conditions cannot be obtained. The forms,cofferdams, or caissons shall be sufficiently tight to prevent any water flowing throughthe space where concrete is to be deposited. Pumping of water shall not be permittedwhile the concrete is being placed, nor until it has set for at least thirty-six (36) hours.B. Carefully place the concrete compact mass using a tremie, closed bottom-dumpingbucket, or another approved method which does not permit the concrete to fall throughthe water without protection. The concrete shall not be disturbed after being deposited.Regulate depositing to maintain horizontal surfaces.C. When a tremie is used, it shall consist of a tube constructed in sections having water-tightconnections. The means of supporting the tremie shall permit the movement of thedischarge end over the entire top surface of the work, and shall allow the tremie to berapidly lowered to retard the flow. The number of times it is necessary to shift thelocation of the tremie shall be held to a minimum for any continuous placement ofconcrete. During the placing of concrete, keep the tremie tube full to the bottom of thehopper. When a batch is dumped into the hopper, slightly raise the tremie, but not out ofthe concrete at the bottom, until the batch discharges to the level of the bottom of thehopper. Stop the flow by lowering the tremie. Continue pacing operations until the workis completed.03300-21


FTWIC-2235June, 2009D. When concrete is placed by means of the bottom-dump bucket, the bucket shall have acapacity of not less than 1/2 cubic yard. Lower the bucket gradually and carefully until itrests upon the concrete already placed. Raise it very slowly during the discharge travel tomaintain still water at the point of discharge and to avoid agitating the mixture.3.09 PLACEMENT IN SLABS:A. Allow concrete in columns, walls and deep beams or girders to stand for at least one (1)hour to permit full settlement from consolidation, before concrete is placed for slabs theyare to support. Haunches are considered as part of the slab and shall be placed integrallywith them.B. When monolithic slabs are placed in strips, the widths of the strips, unless otherwisespecified or indicated, shall insure that concrete in any one strip is not allowed to lie inplace for more than one (1) hour before the adjacent strips are placed.C. Immediately before placing concrete, thoroughly dampen the earthen cushion to receiveconcrete to prevent moisture absorption from the concrete.D. As soon as concrete placing is complete for a slab section of sufficient width to permitfinishing operations, level the concrete, strike off, tamp and screed. The screed shall beof a design adaptable to the use intended, shall have provision for vertical adjustment andshall be sufficiently rigid to hold true to shape during use.E. The initial strike off shall leave the concrete surface at an elevation slightly above gradeso that, when consolidation and finishing operations are completed, the surface of theslab is at grade elevation.F. Continue tamping and screeding operations until the concrete is properly consolidatedand free of surface voids. Bring the surface to a smooth, true alignment usinglongitudinal screeding, floating, belting, and/or other methods.G. When used, templates shall be of a design which permits early removal so satisfactoryfinishing at and adjacent to the template is achieved.H. While the concrete is still plastic, straightedge the surface using a standard 10' metalstraightedge. Lap each straightedge pass 1/2 of the preceding pass. Remove high spotsand fill depressions with fresh concrete and re-float. Continue to check with astraightedge during the final finishing operation, until the surface is true to grade and freeof depressions, high spots, voids, or rough spots.I. Check the final surface with a straightedge. Ordinates measured from the face of thestraightedge to the surface of the slab shall not exceed 1/16" per foot from the nearestpoint of contact. The maximum ordinate shall be 1/8" per 10'.J. Where floor drains are shown in slabs and the slope of floor is not indicated, slope floorsto drain on a grade of 1/16" per foot with a maximum total slope of one and 1/4". Thethickness of slab at floor drain shall be the thickness of slab, as indicated on the plans.K. Give sidewalks a brush finish. Score sidewalks at a spacing equal to the width of thewalk and edge on each side using a tool with a radius of approximately 1/4".03300-22


FTWIC-2235June, 2009L. Clean the surface of non-skid, non-slip surfaces, where specified, and prepare forspraying, brushing or rolling with an epoxy compound. Immediately after applying theepoxy, broadcast the aggregate by hand or machine at l.5 pounds per square yard. Theaggregate may be a proprietary mixture or aluminum oxide, or silicon carbide, or roofinggranules, or silica sand or trap rock passing the #50 sieve and retained on the #60 sieve.Adhere to the Manufacturer's recommendations when using proprietary products.3.10 PLACEMENT IN FOUNDATIONS:Place concrete in deep foundations so that segregation of the aggregates or displacement of thereinforcement is avoided. Provide suitable chutes or vertical pipes. When footings can be placedin dry foundation pits without the use of cofferdams or caissons, forms may be omitted and theentire excavation filled with concrete to the elevation of the top of footing. The placing ofconcrete bases above seal courses is permitted after the forms are free from water and the sealcourse cleaned. Execute necessary pumping or bailing during concreting from a suitable pumplocated outside the forms.3.11 PLACEMENT IN PIERS:A. Start concrete placing within eight (8) hours after completion of augering and inspectionof shaft. Concrete to be placed in dry pier openings, with or without casings, shallcontain set retarders and water reducing agents. Use air entraining admixture in drilledpiers.B. Concrete placing shall be continuous from the beginning of placing in the bottom to thetop. Time intervals are allowed for vibrating or rodding, pulling casing, placing formsand other necessary operations.C. Place concrete through a tremie tube to prevent the segregation of concrete materials andunnecessary splashing on the reinforcing steel cage. The tremie shall be in sections topermit the discharge end to be raised as placement progresses. The maximum allowablefall for the concrete from the end of the tremie shall be 5 feet.D. Wherever casing is used, extend it above the grade of the finished shaft to provide excessconcrete placement for the anticipated slump from the casing removal.E. Where a cap block or groundline strut is shown to be placed at the top of the pier, and thecap or strut is shown to be placed monolithically with the pier, a time interval is allowedfor placing the required form and reinforcing after any necessary casing removal.F. After placement is completed, cure the top surface and treat construction joint area, asspecified.G. If it is clearly demonstrated that ground water cannot be sealed off because of the natureof the foundation formation, the pier concrete may be placed through water using thefollowing procedures:1. Clean the bottom of the pier hole of mud and loose material. Pump water outimmediately ahead of concrete placing to insure that the bottom is in satisfactorycondition. Flowing water is not permitted.03300-23


3.12 SLABS; FINISHING:FTWIC-2235June, 20092. The <strong>specifications</strong> and procedures for placing concrete underwater are asspecified above for "Placing Concrete in Water."A. Finish slabs, platforms and steps monolithically and apply the following schedule offinishes:TYPE OF FINISHWood Float FinishSteel Trowel FinishBrush FinishFloor HardnerLOCATIONInitial finish for all slabs to receive trowel finishAll slabs unless otherwise notedSidewalks, exterior exposed mechanical pads.Base-EG building mechanical and electricalfloor slabs.B. WOOD FLOAT FINISH:Finish surfaces using a wood float to a true, even plane with no coarse aggregate visible.In the initial floating, while the concrete is plastic, use sufficient pressure on the woodfloat to bring excess moisture to the surface for removal. Apply a final "light float" finishto the surface as the concrete hardens. The surface shall have a uniform appearance andshall meet the straightness requirements.C. STEEL TROWEL FINISH:After all surface moisture has disappeared, following the initial wood float finish, steeltrowel surfaces to a smooth, even, impervious finish of uniform smoothness and color,free from blemishes, including trowel marks.D. BRUSH FINISH:Following the steel trowel finish, brush the surface of the concrete lightly with a softbristledbrush. Keep the brush clean and dip in water frequently so that it is clean andwet at all times. Limit brushing to necessary glaze removal and to produce a non-slipsurface.E. POWER MACHINE FINISH:Instead of hand-finishing slab surfaces requiring wood float, finish may be with anapproved power finishing machine, operated in accordance with the directions of themachine manufacturer. Following machine finishing, eliminate irregularities by handtroweling with a steel trowel. Power machine finishing may also be used as an initialstep in finishing surfaces which require a steel trowel finish. However, the entire surfaceof steel trowel finishes shall be given its final finish by hand, using a steel trowel. Wheresteel trowel surfaces are to receive a floor covering, it is not required that entire surfacebe hand troweled. In general, the preparation of surfaces for finishing by machine shallbe as required for hand finishing.F. FINISHING IN HOT, DRY WEATHER:03300-24


FTWIC-2235June, 2009During periods of high temperature and/or low humidity, take extreme care in finishingthe slabs to eliminate initial shrinkage cracks. Following the initial set of concrete, butwhile the concrete is still "green", continue to finish as required to remove shrinkagecracks which may occur. In hot, dry weather, keep a cement finisher on the job followingnormal finishing operations for a sufficient length of time to insure the removal of initialshrinkage cracks.3.13 VERTICAL SURFACES FINISHES:A.

3.18 ALUMINUM OR STEEL IN CONTACT WITH OR EMBEDDED IN CONCRETE:FTWIC-2235June, 2009A. Where aluminum anchors, aluminum shapes, or aluminum electrical conduits areembedded in concrete, paint aluminum contact surfaces with zinc chromate primer.Allow the paint to thoroughly dry before placing the aluminum in contact with theconcrete.B. Paint steel or other ferrous metal to be mounted on or placed in contact with dry/curedconcrete, and coat in accordance with Section 09905, PROTECTIVE COATINGS priorto installation.3.19 CURING REQUIREMENTS:A. GENERAL:Give careful attention to proper concrete curing. The curing methods shall be wet curing,sheet materials conforming to ASTM C-171, or membrane curing compound conformingto ASTM C-309. Membrane curing is not permitted on surfaces to be rubbed or onsurfaces to which additional concrete, is to be applied. Unless the curing method isspecified otherwise, select the appropriate curing method.B. LENGTH OF CURING PERIOD:1. A "curing day" shall be any day on which the atmospheric temperature taken inthe shade, or the air temperature adjacent to the concrete, remains above 50degrees F for at least 18 hours.2. Cure concrete for a period of seven (7) consecutive days. In cold weather, whencuring may be retarded, extend this period to seven (7) "curing days", up to alimit of 14 consecutive days.C. WET CURING:1. Immediately following the finishing operations, cover concrete slabs, includingroof slabs, with wet cotton mats or with a temporary covering of canvas orburlap. Keep thoroughly wet for a period of four (4) curing days after theconcrete is placed. The covering shall be held in direct contact with the concrete.A temporary covering shall be required when the size of slab, size of mats, orother factors dictate that the mats cannot be placed immediately after thefinishing operations without marring the finishing of the slab.2. Water used for curing shall be free from injurious amounts of oil, acid, alkali,salt, or other deleterious substances.3. Canvas or burlap covering material shall weigh not less than twelve (12) ouncesper square yard. Place the sections with a lap at the edges of at least 8". Saturatecover material with water previous to placing. Keep saturated as long as itremains in place. Use care in the placing of the cover material to prevent marringthe concrete surface.03300-27


FTWIC-2235June, 20094. When temporary coverings are used, keep them in place only until the slab hassufficiently hardened so that a cotton mat covering can be substituted withoutmarring or disturbing the slab finish. Thoroughly saturate cotton mats beforeplacing and keep the mats on the slab in a saturated condition for a period of atleast four (4) curing days.5. Curing by flooding or submerging concrete shall not be permitted.D. SHEET CURING:Sheet materials shall conform to ASTM C-171.

Cover the surface of the concrete with a continuous, uniform, water-impermeablecoating, conforming to ASTM C-309 "Liquid Membrane Forming Compoundsfor Curing Concrete" and apply according to ACI-308.3. Immediately after the removal of the side and end forms, apply a coating to thesides and ends of all concrete. Apply the solution under pressure with a spraynozzle so that the entire exposed surface is completely covered with a uniformfilm. The rate of application shall insure complete coverage, but the area coveredshall not exceed 150 square feet per gallon of curing compound.4. The coating shall be sufficiently transparent and free of permanent color to notresult in a pronounced color change from that of the natural concrete at theconclusion of the curing period. The coating shall, however, contain a dye ofcolor strength to render the film distinctively visible on the concrete for a periodof at least four (4) hours after application.5. After application and under normal conditions, the curing compound shall be dryto touch within one (1) hour and shall dry thoroughly and completely within four(4) hours. When thoroughly dry, it shall provide a continuous flexible membranefree from cracks or pinholes and shall not disintegrate, check, peel, or crackduring the required curing period.6.
