C. Repairing Formed Surfaces: Surface defects include color and texture irregularities, cracks, spalls, air bubbles, honeycombs, rock pockets, fins and other projections on the surface, and stains and other discolorations that cannot be removed by cleaning.

1. Immediately after form removal, cut out honeycombs, rock pockets, and voids more than 1/2 inch (13 mm) in any dimension in solid concrete, but not less than 1 inch (25 mm) in depth. Make edges of cuts perpendicular to concrete surface. Clean, dampen with water, and brush-coat holes and voids with bonding agent. Fill and compact with patching mortar before bonding agent has dried. Fill form-tie voids with patching mortar or cone plugs secured in place with bonding agent.

2. Repair defects on surfaces exposed to view by blending white portland cement and standard portland cement so that, when dry, patching mortar will match surrounding color. Patch a test area at inconspicuous locations to verify mixture and color match before proceeding with patching. Compact mortar in place and strike off slightly higher than surrounding surface.

3. Repair defects on concealed formed surfaces that affect concrete's durability and structural performance as determined by Architect.

D. Repairing Unformed Surfaces: Test unformed surfaces, such as floors and slabs, for finish and verify surface tolerances specified for each surface. Correct low and high areas. Test surfaces sloped to drain for trueness of slope and smoothness; use a sloped template.

1. Repair finished surfaces containing defects. Surface defects include spalls, popouts, honeycombs, rock pockets, crazing and cracks in excess of 0.01 inch (0.25 mm) wide or that penetrate to reinforcement or completely through unreinforced sections regardless of width, and other objectionable conditions.

2. After concrete has cured at least 14 days, correct high areas by grinding. 3. Correct localized low areas during or immediately after completing surface finishing

operations by cutting out low areas and replacing with patching mortar. Finish repaired areas to blend into adjacent concrete.

4. Correct other low areas scheduled to receive floor coverings with a repair underlayment. Prepare, mix, and apply repair underlayment and primer according to manufacturer's written instructions to produce a smooth, uniform, plane, and level surface. Feather edges to match adjacent floor elevations.

5. Correct other low areas scheduled to remain exposed with a repair topping. Cut out low areas to ensure a minimum repair topping depth of 1/4 inch (6 mm) to match adjacent floor elevations. Prepare, mix, and apply repair topping and primer according to manufacturer's written instructions to produce a smooth, uniform, plane, and level surface.

6. Repair defective areas, except random cracks and single holes 1 inch (25 mm) or less in diameter, by cutting out and replacing with fresh concrete. Remove defective areas with clean, square cuts and expose steel reinforcement with at least a 3/4-inch (19-mm) clearance all around. Dampen concrete surfaces in contact with patching concrete and apply bonding agent. Mix patching concrete of same materials and mixture as original concrete except without coarse aggregate. Place, compact, and finish to blend with adjacent finished concrete. Cure in same manner as adjacent concrete.

7. Repair random cracks and single holes 1 inch (25 mm) or less in diameter with patching mortar. Groove top of cracks and cut out holes to sound concrete and clean off dust, dirt, and loose particles. Dampen cleaned concrete surfaces and apply bonding agent. Place patching mortar before bonding agent has dried. Compact patching mortar and finish to match adjacent concrete. Keep patched area continuously moist for at least 72 hours.

E. Perform structural repairs of concrete, subject to Architect's approval, using epoxy adhesive and patching mortar.

JOINT SEALANTS 079200 - 8

C. Masking Tape: Use masking tape where required to prevent contact of sealant or primer with adjoining

surfaces that otherwise would be permanently stained or damaged by such contact or by cleaning methods

required to remove sealant smears. Remove tape immediately after tooling without disturbing joint seal.

3.3 INSTALLATION OF JOINT SEALANTS

A. General: Comply with joint-sealant manufacturer's written installation instructions for products and

applications indicated, unless more stringent requirements apply.

B. Sealant Installation Standard: Comply with recommendations in ASTM C1193 for use of joint sealants as

applicable to materials, applications, and conditions indicated.

C. Install sealant backings of kind indicated to support sealants during application and at position required to

produce cross-sectional shapes and depths of installed sealants relative to joint widths that allow optimum

sealant movement capability.

1. Do not leave gaps between ends of sealant backings.

2. Do not stretch, twist, puncture, or tear sealant backings.

3. Remove absorbent sealant backings that have become wet before sealant application, and replace

them with dry materials.

D. Install bond-breaker tape behind sealants where sealant backings are not used between sealants and backs

of joints.

E. Install sealants using proven techniques that comply with the following and at the same time backings are

installed:

1. Place sealants so they directly contact and fully wet joint substrates.

2. Completely fill recesses in each joint configuration.

3. Produce uniform, cross-sectional shapes and depths relative to joint widths that allow optimum

sealant movement capability.

F. Tooling of Nonsag Sealants: Immediately after sealant application and before skinning or curing begins,

tool sealants according to requirements specified in subparagraphs below to form smooth, uniform beads

of configuration indicated; to eliminate air pockets; and to ensure contact and adhesion of sealant with

sides of joint.

1. Remove excess sealant from surfaces adjacent to joints.

2. Use tooling agents that are approved in writing by sealant manufacturer and that do not discolor

sealants or adjacent surfaces.

3. Provide concave joint profile per Figure 8A in ASTM C1193 unless otherwise indicated.

BTBC Phase III October 26, 2020

GE Project No. 0119-0010

Gould Evans

JOINT SEALANTS 079200 - 9

1. Extent of Testing: Test completed and cured sealant joints as follows:

a. Perform one test for each 1000 feet (300 m) of joint length thereafter or one test per each

floor per elevation.

2. Test Method: Test joint sealants according to Method A, Field-Applied Sealant Joint Hand Pull

Tab, in Appendix X1 in ASTM C1193 or Method A, Tail Procedure, in ASTM C1521.

a. For joints with dissimilar substrates, verify adhesion to each substrate separately; extend

cut along one side, verifying adhesion to opposite side. Repeat procedure for opposite side.

3. Inspect tested joints and report on the following:

a. Whether sealants filled joint cavities and are free of voids.

b. Whether sealant dimensions and configurations comply with specified requirements.

c. Whether sealants in joints connected to pulled-out portion failed to adhere to joint

substrates or tore cohesively. Include data on pull distance used to test each kind of product

and joint substrate. Compare these results to determine if adhesion complies with sealant

manufacturer's field-adhesion hand-pull test criteria.

4. Record test results in a field-adhesion-test log. Include dates when sealants were installed, names

of persons who installed sealants, test dates, test locations, whether joints were primed, adhesion

results and percent elongations, sealant material, sealant configuration, and sealant dimensions.

5. Repair sealants pulled from test area by applying new sealants following same procedures used

originally to seal joints. Ensure that original sealant surfaces are clean and that new sealant

contacts original sealant.

B. Evaluation of Field-Adhesion-Test Results: Sealants not evidencing adhesive failure from testing or

noncompliance with other indicated requirements will be considered satisfactory. Remove sealants that

fail to adhere to joint substrates during testing or to comply with other requirements. Retest failed

applications until test results prove sealants comply with indicated requirements.

3.5 CLEANING

A. Clean off excess sealant or sealant smears adjacent to joints as the Work progresses by methods and with

cleaning materials approved in writing by manufacturers of joint sealants and of products in which joints

occur.

3.6 PROTECTION

A. Protect joint sealants during and after curing period from contact with contaminating substances and from

damage resulting from construction operations or other causes so sealants are without deterioration or

damage at time of Substantial Completion. If, despite such protection, damage or deterioration occurs, cut

out, remove, and repair damaged or deteriorated joint sealants immediately so installations with repaired

areas are indistinguishable from original work.

SYNTHETIC STUCCO SYSTEM 092423 - 13

3.7 STUCCO INSTALLATION

A. General:

1. Apply the stucco in discrete panels without interruption to avoid cold joints and differences in

appearance. Abut wet stucco to set stucco at natural or architectural breaks in the wall such as

expansion joints, pilasters, terminations, or changes in plane. Hot or dry conditions accelerate

drying and moisture loss from stucco which can diminish strength and resistance to cracking.

Under these conditions adjustments in the application, scheduling and curing of stucco to

prevent rapid loss of moisture are necessary to achieve a satisfactory stucco installation. Cold

temperatures retard drying and strength gain and adjustments may have to be made in the

application, scheduling and curing of stucco to prevent damage from frost and other trades. Do

not install stucco during extremely hot, dry and/or windy conditions. Do not install stucco

during freezing conditions or on frozen substrates. Do not install stucco onto grounds of

accessories. Completely embed lath and flanges of accessories and completely cover fastener

attachments with stucco. Moist cure stucco minimum 48 hours for optimum strength gain and

resistance to cracking. Allow final stucco application to completely dry (28 days) before

applying primer or finish (except in the case of Sto Hot Prime which can be applied 48 hours

after completing moist cure of stucco). The finished installation must be true, plumb and

square. Should stucco get into control or expansion joints, remove the stucco from within the

joint before the stucco sets.

2. After satisfactory inspection of surfaces and correction of any deviations from specification

requirements commence the stucco installation as described below:

B. Installation over StoGuard/Sto DrainScreen

1. Weep Screed Installation

a. Install foundation weep screed at the base of the wall securely to solid substrate or

framing with the appropriate fastener. Locate foundation weep screed so that it overlaps

the joint between the foundation and framing by a minimum of 1 inch (25 mm). Locate

the foundation weep screed nosing minimum 4 inches (100 mm) above earth grade, 2

inches (51 mm) above finished grade (paved surfaces, for example). Lap waterproof air

barrier, sheet water-resistive barrier, and drainage mat over the weep screed attachment

flange.

2. Casing Bead and Two Piece Expansion Joint Installation

a. Install casing beads at stucco terminations – doors, windows and other through wall

penetrations. Install two piece expansion joints (or back-to-back casing beads) at

building expansion joints, thru-wall joints in concrete or CMU, where the stucco is to

be installed over dissimilar construction or substrates, at changes in building height, at

floor lines, columns, and cantilevered areas. Install full accessory pieces where possible

and avoid small pieces. Seal adjoining pieces by embedding ends in sealant. Abut

horizontal into vertical joint accessories (except where horizontal movement joints exist

that prevent continuous vertical runs of accessories). Attach at no more than 7 inches

SYNTHETIC STUCCO SYSTEM 092423 - 14

lath continuously beneath expansion joints.

3) Attachment--fasten securely into solid substrates or through sheathing into

structural framing at 7 inches (178 mm) on center maximum vertically and 16

inches (406 mm) on center horizontally*. Wire tie at no more than 9 inches (225

mm) on center at: side laps, accessory overlaps, and where end laps occur

between supports.

b. Paper-backed lath – follow installation as for diamond mesh metal lath. Lap lath over

lath, not paper to lath overlap. For horizontal overlaps the paper backing must lap

shingle style behind the lath to lath overlap.

4. One Piece Expansion Joint Installation

a. Install one piece expansion joints at through wall penetrations, for example, above and

below doors and windows. Install one piece expansion joints at every 144 ft2 (13 m2).

Wire tie one piece expansion joints to lath at no more than 7 inches (178 mm) on

center. Seal adjoining pieces by embedding ends in sealant. Make certain lath is

DISCONTINUOUS at or beneath joints.

5. Inside and Outside Corners

a. Install corner lath at inside corners and corner bead at outside corners over lath. Attach

through lath into solid substrate or framing at no more than 7 inches (178 mm) on

center with appropriate fasteners.

6. Stucco Installation

a. Scratch Coat: apply stucco with sufficient pressure to key into and embed the metal

lath. Apply sufficient material, 3/8 or ½ inch (9 or 12 mm), to cover the metal lath and

to permit scoring the surface. Score the stucco upon completion of each panel in

preparation for a second coat. Score horizontally.

b. Brown Coat: as soon as the first coat is firm enough to receive the second coat without

damage, apply the second coat. Alternatively, moist cure the first coat up to 48 hours

and dampen the scratched surface with water immediately before applying the second

coat. Apply the second coat with sufficient pressure to ensure intimate contact with the

first coat and as needed to bring the stucco to a uniform thickness that matches the

grounds of the accessories. Use a rod or straight edge to bring the surface to a true, even

plane. Fill depressions in plane with stucco. Final thickness of stucco shall be uniform

throughout the wall area and shall be either 3/4 inch or 7/8 inch (19 or 22 mm), and

shall not exceed 7/8 inch (22 mm).

c. After the stucco has become slightly firm float the surface lightly with a darby or wood

float to densify the surface and to provide a smooth, even surface. The proper time to

float is when the wood float no longer sticks to the surface of the stucco.

d. Moist cure after the stucco has set by lightly fogging for at least 48 hours. Fog as

frequently as required during the 48 hour period to prevent loss of moisture from the

stucco. Avoid eroding the stucco surface with excess moisture. If relative humidity

exceeds 75% the frequency of moist curing can be diminished.

C. Armor Guard

1. Apply base coat over the moist cured stucco with appropriate spray equipment or a stainless

steel trowel to a uniform thickness of approximately ⅛ inch (3 mm). Work horizontally or

vertically in strips of 40 inches (1016mm), and immediately embed the mesh into the wet base

coat by troweling from the center to the edge of the mesh. Overlap mesh not less than 2-½

inches (64 mm) at mesh seams and at overlaps of detail mesh. Feather seams and edges. Avoid

wrinkles in the mesh. The mesh must be fully embedded so that no mesh color shows through

the base coat when it is dry. Re-skim with additional base coat if mesh color is visible. Do not

install base coat or mesh over joints or accessories in the stucco wall assembly.

SYNTHETIC STUCCO SYSTEM 092423 - 15

D. Primer Installation

1. Sto Hot Prime – Moist cure stucco for a minimum of 48 hours. Allow stucco to dry an

additional 48 hours, then apply primer evenly with brush, roller or proper spray equipment

over the clean, dry stucco and foam build-outs, and allow to dry. Final age of primed stucco

application must be minimum 7 days before application of finish.

E. Finish Installation

1. Apply finish to minimum 28 day old stucco or primed stucco, or apply when pH of stucco

surface is less than 10. If Sto Hot Prime is used as the primer the primed stucco surfaces need

only be minimum 7 days old. Apply finish by spraying or troweling with a stainless steel

trowel, depending on the finish specified. Follow these general rules for application of finish:

a. Avoid application in direct sunlight.

b. Apply finish in a continuous application, and work a wet edge towards the unfinished

wall area. Work to an architectural break in the wall before stopping to avoid cold

joints.

c. Weather conditions affect application and drying time. Hot or dry conditions limit

working time and accelerate drying. Adjustments in the scheduling of work may be

required to achieve desired results; cool or damp conditions extend working time and

retard drying and may require added measures of protection against wind, dust, dirt,

rain and freezing. Adjust work schedule and provide protection.

d. Float “R” (rilled or swirl texture) finishes with a plastic float to achieve their rilled

texture

e. Do not install separate batches of finish side-by-side.

f. Do not apply finish into or over sealant joints. Apply finish to outside face of wall only.

g. Do not apply finish over irregular or unprepared surfaces, or surfaces not in compliance

with the requirements of the project specifications.

h. Do not install finish over high pH (> 10) stucco surfaces or surfaces that have not been

fully cured.

3.8 PROTECTION

A. Provide protection of installed materials from water infiltration into or behind them.

B. Provide protection of installed stucco from dust, dirt, precipitation, and freezing.

C. Provide protection of installed primer and finish from dust, dirt, precipitation, freezing and continuous

high humidity until fully dry.

D. Provide sealant and backer material at stucco terminations and at fixture penetrations through the

stucco to protect against air, water and insect infiltration. Provide weeps at floor lines, window and

door heads, and other areas to conduct water to the exterior.

3.9 CLEANING REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE

A. Clean and maintain the stucco finish for a fresh appearance and to prevent water entry into and behind

the stucco. Repair cracks, impact damage, spalls or delamination promptly.

B. Maintain adjacent components of construction such as sealants, windows, doors, and flashing, to

prevent water entry into the wall assembly.

present, for compliance with requirements and other conditions affecting performance of the Work.

3.2 INSTALLATION

A. Comply with ASTM C840.

B. Install ceiling panels across framing to minimize the number of abutting end joints and to avoid abutting

end joints in central area of each ceiling. Stagger abutting end joints of adjacent panels not less than one

framing member.

C. Install panels with face side out. Butt panels together for a light contact at edges and ends with not more

than 1/16 inch of open space between panels. Do not force into place.

D. Locate edge and end joints over supports, except in ceiling applications where intermediate supports or

gypsum board back-blocking is provided behind end joints. Do not place tapered edges against cut edges

or ends. Stagger vertical joints on opposite sides of partitions. Do not make joints other than control joints

at corners of framed openings.

E. Form control and expansion joints with space between edges of adjoining gypsum panels.

F. Cover both faces of support framing with gypsum panels in concealed spaces (above ceilings, etc.),

except in chases braced internally.

1. Unless concealed application is indicated or required for sound, fire, air, or smoke ratings,

coverage may be accomplished with scraps of not less than 8 sq. ft. in area.

2. Fit gypsum panels around ducts, pipes, and conduits.

3. Where partitions intersect structural members projecting below underside of floor/roof slabs and

decks, cut gypsum panels to fit profile formed by structural members; allow 1/4- to 3/8-inch-wide

joints to install sealant.

G. Isolate perimeter of gypsum board applied to non-load-bearing partitions at structural abutments. Provide

1/4- to 1/2-inch-wide spaces at these locations and trim edges with edge trim where edges of panels are

PART 3 - EXECUTION

3.1 EXAMINATION

A. Examine substrates, areas, and conditions where tile will be installed, with Installer present, for compliance

with requirements for installation tolerances and other conditions affecting performance of installed tile.

1. Verify that substrates for setting tile are firm, dry, clean, free of coatings that are incompatible with

tile-setting materials including curing compounds and other substances that contain soap, wax, oil,

or silicone; and comply with flatness tolerances required by ANSI A108.01 for installations

indicated.

2. Verify that concrete substrates for tile floors installed with thin-set mortar comply with surface

finish requirements in ANSI A108.01 for installations indicated.

a. Verify that surfaces that received a steel trowel finish have been mechanically scarified.

b. Verify that protrusions, bumps, and ridges have been removed by sanding or grinding.

3. Verify that installation of grounds, anchors, recessed frames, electrical and mechanical units of

work, and similar items located in or behind tile has been completed.

4. Verify that joints and cracks in tile substrates are coordinated with tile joint locations; if not

coordinated, adjust joint locations in consultation with Architect.

B. Proceed with installation only after unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected.

3.2 PREPARATION

A. Fill cracks, holes, and depressions in concrete substrates for tile floors installed with thin-set mortar with

trowelable leveling and patching compound specifically recommended by tile-setting material

manufacturer.

B. Where indicated, prepare substrates to receive waterproofing by applying a reinforced mortar bed that

complies with ANSI A108.1A and is sloped 1/4 inch per foot (1:50) toward drains.

C. Blending: For tile exhibiting color variations, verify that tile has been factory blended and packaged so tile

units taken from one package show same range of colors as those taken from other packages and match

approved Samples. If not factory blended, either return to manufacturer or blend tiles at Project site before

installing.

D. Field-Applied Temporary Protective Coating: If indicated under tile type or needed to prevent grout from

staining or adhering to exposed tile surfaces, precoat them with continuous film of temporary protective

coating, taking care not to coat unexposed tile surfaces.

3.3 TILE INSTALLATION

surfaces. Carefully grind cut edges of tile abutting trim, finish, or built-in items for straight aligned joints.

Fit tile closely to electrical outlets, piping, fixtures, and other penetrations so plates, collars, or covers

overlap tile.

D. Jointing Pattern: Lay tile in grid pattern unless otherwise indicated. Lay out tile work and center tile fields

in both directions in each space or on each wall area. Lay out tile work to minimize the use of pieces that

are less than half of a tile. Provide uniform joint widths unless otherwise indicated.

1. For tile mounted in sheets, make joints between tile sheets same width as joints within tile sheets so

joints between sheets are not apparent in finished work.

2. Where adjoining tiles on floor, base, walls, or trim are specified or indicated to be same size, align

joints.

3. Where tiles are specified or indicated to be whole integer multiples of adjoining tiles on floor, base,

walls, or trim, align joints unless otherwise indicated.
