the mixer shall contain a sufficient excess of
cement, sand, and water to coat the inside of
the drum without reducing the cement of the
mix to be discharged.
Re-tempering, i.e, remixing with the addition of
water to concrete that has been partially
hardened will not be permitted.
5.4.7 PREPARATION OF STRUCTURE FOR CONCRETE

Earth surfaces shall be thoroughly wetted by
sprinkling prior to the placing of any concrete,
and these surfaces shall be kept moist by
frequent sprinkling up to the time of placing
concrete thereon.
Concrete surfaces upon or against which
concrete is to be placed, where the placement of
old concrete has been stopped or interpreted so
that, in the opinion of the Engineer, the new
concrete cannot be incorporated integrally with
that previously placed, are defined as
construction joints. The surfaces of the
horizontal joints shall be leveled with a wooden
float to provide a reasonably smooth surface. A
surface consisting largely of coarse aggregate
shall be avoided. Except where the drawings call
for joint surfaces to be painted, the joint
surfaces shall be cleaned of all laitance, loose or
defective concrete, and foreign material. Such
cleaning shall be accomplished by sandblasting
followed by thorough washing. All pools of water
shall be removed from the surface of
construction joints before the new concrete is
placed. After the surfaces have been prepared to
the
satisfaction
of
the
Engineer,
all
approximately horizontal construction joints
shall be covered with a layer of mortar
approximately 25 mm (1 in.) thick.
The mortar shall have the same proportion of
cement and sand as the regular concrete
mixture, unless otherwise directed by the
Engineer. The water-cement ratio of the mortar
in place shall not exceed that of the concrete to
be placed upon it, and the consistency of the
10 | P a g e


Center
mortar shall be spread uniformly and shall be

worked thoroughly into all irregularities of the
surface, and wire brooms shall be used where
possible to scrub the mortar into the surface.
Concrete shall be placed immediately upon the
fresh mortar.
When the placing of concrete is to be
interrupted long enough for the concrete to take
a set, the working face shall be given a shape by
the use of forms or other means that will secure
proper union with subsequent work, provided
that construction joints shall be made only
where approved by the Engineer.
5.4.8 PLACING CONCRETE

Concrete which upon or before placing is found
not to conform with the requirements specified
herein shall be rejected and immediately
removed from the work. Concrete which is not
placed in accordance with these specifications,
or which is of inferior quality, as determined by
the Engineer, shall be removed and replaced by
and at the expense of the Contractor. No
concrete shall be placed except in the presence
of a duly authorized representative of the
Engineer. Prior to placing any concrete, the
Contractor shall give the Engineer twenty-four
(24) hours written notice.
Concrete shall be deposited in its final position
without segregation, re-handling, or flowing.
Placing shall be done in preferably with buggies,
buckets, or wheelbarrows. No chutes will be
allowed except to transfer complete from
hoppers to buggies, wheelbarrows, or buckets in
which case, they shall not exceed six (6) meters
(20 ft.) in aggregate length.
Placing of concrete with a free drop or fall more
than 1.20 meters (4 ft.) shall not be allowed,

concrete and the ends kept buried in newly

placed concrete as pouring progresses.
Concrete in forms shall be deposited in uniform
horizontal layers not deeper then 450mm (18in.)
and care shall be taken to avoid inclined layers
or incline contraction joints except where such
are required for slopping members. Each layer
shall be placed while the previous layers are still
soft. The rate of placing concrete in forms shall
not exceed 1.5mtrs. (5ft.) of vertical rise per
hour.
5.4.9 FORMS
The Contractor shall provide forms to confine
the concrete and shape it to the repaired lines.
Plastering, in general, shall not be allowed. The
Contractor shall assume full responsibility for the
adequate design of all forms. However, forms
which in the opinion of the Engineer are unsafe
or inadequate in any respect may at any time be
condemned by the Engineer, and the Contractor
shall promptly remove the condemned forms
from the work and replace them at his own
expense. A sufficient number of forms of each
kind shall be provided to permit the required
rate of progress to be determined.
Whenever, in the opinion of the Engineer,
additional forms are necessary to maintain the
progress schedule, such additional forms shall
be provided by the Contractor at his own
expense. The design and inspection of concrete
forms, false work, and shoring shall comply with
the applicable safety regulations, and as may be
specified in the General Conditions of these
Specifications.
5.4.9.1
Materials

Design
All forms shall true in every respect to the required shape and size,
shall conform with the established alignment and grade, and shall
be of sufficient strength and rigidity to maintain their position and
shape under the loads and operations incident to placing and
vibrating the concrete. Suitable and effective means shall be
provided on all forms for holding adjacent edges and ends of panels
and sections tightly together and in accurate alignment so as to
prevent the formation for ridges, fins, or offsets, or similar surface
defects in the finished concrete. Plywood, 16.0 mm (5/8 in.) and
greater in thickness, may be fastened directly to studding if the
studs are close enough to prevent visible deflection marks in
concrete.
The forms shall be tight so as to prevent the loss of water, cement,
and fins during placing and vibrating of the concrete. Adequate
clean-out holes shall be provided at the bottom of each lift of forms.
The size, number, and location of such clean-outs shall be subject to
the approval of the Engineer.
Concrete construction joints will not be permitted on locations other
than those shown or specified, except as may be approved by the
Engineer. When a second lift is placed on hardened concrete,
special precaution shall be taken in the way of the number, location,
and tightening of ties at the top of the old lift and bottom of the new
to prevent any unsatisfactory effect whatsoever on the concrete.
Pipe stubs and anchor bolts shall be set in the form where required.
14 | P a g e


Center
Unless otherwise shown, exterior corners in concrete members shall

be provided with 19.0 mm (3/4 in.) chamfers. Re-entrant corners in
concrete members shall not have fillets unless otherwise shown
All vertical surfaces of concrete members shall be formed, except
where placement of the concrete against the ground is called for on
the drawings or explicitly authorized by the Engineer. Not less than
25mm (1 in.) of concrete shall be added to the thickness of the
concrete member as shown where concrete is permitted to be
placed against trimmed ground in lieu of forms. Such permission will
be granted only for members of comparatively limited height and
where the character of the ground is such that it can be trimmed to
the required lines and will stand securely without caving or
sloughing until the concrete has been placed.
5.4.9.3
Maintenance of Forms
Forms shall be maintained at all times in good condition, particularly as

to size, shape, strength, rigidity, tightness, and smoothness of surface.
Forms, when in place, shall conform with the established alignment and
grades. Before concrete is placed, the forms shall be thoroughly
cleaned. Forms may be reused if in good condition and if approved by
the Engineer. Light sanding between uses will be required wherever
necessary in the opinion of the Engineer to obtain uniform surface
texture on all exposed concrete surfaces. Exposed concrete surfaces
are defined as surfaces which are permanently exposed to view. In the
case of forms for the inside wall surfaces of hydraulic structures,
unused tie rod holes shall be covered with metal caps or shall be filled
by other methods approved by the Engineer.
5.4.9.4
Removal of Forms
Directions of the Engineer concerning the removal of forms shall be

strictly followed, and this work shall be done with care so as to avoid
injury to the concrete, and this work shall be done with care so as to
avoid injury to the concrete. No heavy loading on green concrete will
be permitted. In the case of roof slabs and above-ground floor slabs,
forms remain in place until test cylinders for the roof concrete attain a
minimum compressive strength of 15.52 MPa (2,250 psi) provided that
no forms shall be disturbed or removed under an individual panel or
unit before the concrete in the adjacent panel or unit has attained a
strength of 15.52 MPa (2,250 psi) and has been in place for a minimum
of seven (7) days. The time required to establish said strength will be
determined by the Engineer who will make several test cylinders for
this purpose from concrete used in the first group of roof panels placed.
If the time so determined is more than the seven-day minimum, then it
shall be used as the minimum length of time. Forms for all vertical
15 | P a g e


Center
walls and columns shall remain in place at least three (3) days after the
concrete has been placed. Forms for all parts of the work not
specifically mentioned herein shall remain in place for periods of time
as ordered by the Engineer.
50 mm (2 in.) clearance between said items and any part of the
concrete reinforcement. Securing such items in position by wiring or
welding them to the reinforcement will not be permitted.
5.4.10ORDER OF PLACING CONCRETE

The order of placing concrete in all parts of the
work shall be subject to the approval of the
Engineer. In order to minimize the effects of
shrinkage, the concrete shall be placed in units
as bounded by construction joints shown on the
drawings. The placing of the units shall be done
by placing alternate units in a manner such that
each unit place shall have cured at least seven
(7) days before the contiguous unit or units are
placed, except that vertical walls shall be placed
until wall footings have cured at least fourteen
(14) days, and the corner sections of vertical
walls shall not be placed until all the adjacent
wall panels have cured at least fourteen (14)
days.
The surface of the concrete shall be level
whenever a run of concrete is stopped. To insure
a level, straight joint on the exposed surface of
walls, a wood strip at least 19.0mm (0.75in.)
thick shall be tacked to the forms on these
surfaces. The concrete shall be carried about
13.0mm (0,50in.) above the underside of the
strip. About one hour after the concrete is
placed, the strip shall be removed and any
irregularities in the edge formed by the strip
shall be leveled with s trowel and laitance shall
be removed.
5.4.11TAMPING AND VIBRATING

As concrete is placed in the forms or in
excavations, it shall be thoroughly settled and
compacted through-out the entire depth of the
layer which is being consolidated, into a dense,
homogeneous mass, filling all corners and
angles,
thoroughly
embedding
the
16 | P a g e


Center
reinforcement, eliminating rock pockets, and

bringing only a slight excess of water to the
exposed surface of concrete during placement.
Concrete in walls shall be internally vibrated and
at the same time rammed, stirred, or worked
with suitable appliances, tamping bars, shovels,
or forked tools until it completely fills the forms
or excavations and closes snugly against all
surfaces. Subsequent layers of concrete shall
not be placed until the layers previously placed
have been worked thoroughly as specified.
Except in special cases where their use is
deemed impracticable by the Engineer, the
contractor shall use internally vibrated, high
speed power vibrators not less than 8000 rpm of
an approved immersion type in sufficient
numbers, with standby units as required, to
accomplish the results herein specified within
fifteen (15) minutes after concrete of the
prescribed consistency is placed in the forms.
The vibrating head shall be kept from contact
with the surfaces of the forms. Care shall be
taken not to vibrate concrete excessively or to
work it in any manner that causes segregation of
its face.
5.4.12CARE AND REPAIR OF CONCRETE

The Contractor shall protect all concrete against
injury or damage from excessive heat, lack of
moisture, overstress, or any other cause until
final acceptance by the Owner. Particular care
shall be taken to prevent the drying of concrete
and to avoid roughening or otherwise damaging
the surface. Any concrete found to be damaged
or which may have been originally defective, or
which becomes defective at any time prior to
the final acceptance of the concrete work, or
which departs from the established line or
grade, or which for any other reason does not
conform with the Specifications, shall be
satisfactorily repaired or removed and replaced
with acceptable at the Contractors expense.
5.4.13FINISH OF CONCRETE SURFACES
