concrete have a free fall or more than 3 feet. The concrete shall be brought up in approximately horizontal layers. The concrete shall be placed continuously from one side or end of the section to the other, using care not overload any given area of forms. The rate of delivery of concrete to the work shall be such as to insure continuity of placement. No partially completed surface shall be allowed to stand more than 45 minutes before continuing the placing of concrete thereon.

All concrete shall be thoroughly vibrated, especially along the forms, to prevent the formation of gravel pockets and to permit the escape of trapped air. Vibration shall be such that the concrete becomes uniformly plastic. Vibrators shall be inserted to a depth sufficient to vibrate the bottom of each layer effectively, but shall not be allowed to penetrate partially hardened concrete, to come in contact with reinforcing steel that extends into partially hardened concrete, or to cause the concrete mix to segregate.

The Contractor shall retighten forms immediately after concrete placement as required to eliminate mortar leaks.

The Contractor shall conform to ACI 306 when concreting during cold weather.

H. Installation of Expansion Joints

Expansion joints shall be made where shown, noted, or indicated on the Plans and/or Standard Details, or where directed by Doyon Utilities’ Authorized Representative.

Expansion joints shall be installed where new concrete work abuts existing structures and where new slabs-on-grade abut new walls, columns, or other structural components at vertical faces.

Expansion joints shall be true vertical, true horizontal, and/or parallel and perpendicular with the structure as required. Expansion joints shall extend completely through the structures in which the expansion joints are installed.

If possible, expansion joint filler for a single expansion joint shall be cut from a single piece of material. The joint material shall be cleanly and accurately cut to neatly fit ¼ inch to 3/8 inch inside the cross-sectional shape of structure at the top and sides of the expansion joint. Expansion joint material shall be secured in proper position before and during concrete placement to the satisfaction of Doyon Utilities’ Authorized Representative.

Forms for retaining walls and similar structures shall be built to provide V-shaped grooves at expansion joints, 2 inches wide at the surface by 1 inch deep.

For slabs-on-grade, expansion joint shall extend to the subgrade and the top of the expansion joint shall be depressed not less than 1/4 inch nor more than 3/8 inch below the finished surface of the slab.

I. Finishing of Concrete

Concrete shall be finished as shown or noted on the Plans or Standard Details, as specified herein, or as directed by Doyon Utilities’ Authorized Representative.

Unless shown, noted, specified, or directed otherwise, exposed faces of new concrete that is poured adjacent to existing exposed concrete shall be finished to match the existing exposed concrete.

Floating of concrete shall not begin until bleed water has dissipated. Concrete shall not be dusted with cement to accelerate setting. All surface irregularities caused by floating,

JBER STANDARD CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATIONS AND DETAILS DIVISION 30 - PORTLAND CEMENT CONCRETE

2015 Rev.001 26 Doyon Utilities, LLC

troweling, edging, and similar activities shall be corrected to the satisfaction of Doyon Utilities’ Authorized Representative.

Concrete floor surfaces shall be finished in accordance with ACI 302 and ACI 304. Surface flatness shall be maintained with maximum variation of 1/8-inch in 10 feet.

In slabs with floor drains, floor elevation shall be maintained at walls, and slabs shall slope uniformly to floor drains at 1/8-inch per foot, or as directed by Doyon Utilities’ Authorized Representative.

J. Installation of Control Joints

Control joints shall be true vertical, true horizontal, and or parallel and perpendicular with the structure as required.

Unless shown, noted, specified, or directed otherwise, the maximum distance between control joints for slabs-on-grade shall be 24 times slab thickness. (For instance, 96 inches control joint spacing for a 4 inches thick slab.)

Control joints shall be made by tooling of grooves in fresh concrete, or by sawing of green concrete. Sawed control joints shall be cut in green concrete, prior to initiation of random shrinkage cracking, using 3/16 inch thick blades to depths of one quarter of slab thickness.

K. Removal of Forms, Shoring, and Bracing

Specific timing of form, shoring, and bracing removal shall be subject to acceptance of Doyon Utilities’ Authorized Representative.

Standard forms, shoring, and bracing shall not be removed until concrete has sufficient strength to support its own weight and additional construction loads which may be imposed upon it. Forms shall not be removed until 24 hours minimum after completion of concrete placement.

Load-supporting forms, shoring, and bracing shall be removed only when concrete has attained at least 75% of required 28 day compressive strength. The Contractor shall remove formwork progressively so no unbalanced loads are imposed on structure, and shall avoid damage to concrete surfaces during form removal. Formwork shall be removed in same sequence as concrete placement to achieve similar concrete surface coloration.

Immediately after form, brace, and shoring removal, concrete is carefully re-shored as necessary to facilitate successive construction.

Reusable forms for exposed architectural concrete shall be handled and stored to prevent damage to contact surfaces. Forming materials may be re-used if in satisfactory condition, well cleaned, and re-oiled, subject to acceptance by Doyon Utilities’ Authorized Representative for each re-use.

L. Repair of Damage and Defects
