PART 3 EXECUTION 3.1 GENERAL A. Coordinate the installation of joint materials and vapor retarders with placement of forms and reinforc-ing steel. 3.2 FORMS



A. General: Design, erect, support, brace, and maintain formwork to support vertical and lateral, static and dynamic loads that might be applied until concrete structure can support such loads. Construct formwork so concrete members and structures are of correct size, shape, alignment, elevation, and posi-tion. Maintain formwork construction tolerances complying with ACI 347. B. Construct forms to sizes, shapes, lines, and dimensions shown and to obtain accurate alignment, lo-cation, grades, level, and plumb work in finished structures. Provide for openings, offsets, sinkages, keyways, recesses, moldings, rustications, reglets, chamfers, blocking, screeds, bulkheads, anchorages and inserts, and other features required in work. Use selected materials to obtain required finishes. Sol-idly butt joints and provide backup at joints to prevent leakage of cement paste. C. Fabricate forms for easy removal without hammering or prying against concrete surfaces. Provide crush plates or wrecking plates where stripping may damage cast concrete surfaces. Provide top forms for inclined surfaces where slope is too steep to place concrete with bottom forms only. Kerf wood inserts for forming keyways, reglets, recesses, and the like, for easy removal. D. Provide temporary openings where interior area of formwork is inaccessible for cleanout, for inspec-tion before concrete placement, and for placement of concrete. Securely brace temporary openings and set tightly to forms to prevent loss of concrete mortar. Locate temporary openings in forms at inconspicu-ous locations. E. Chamfer exposed corners and edges as indicated, using wood, metal, PVC, or rubber chamfer strips fabricated to produce uniform smooth lines and tight edge joints. F. Provisions for Other Trades: Provide openings in concrete formwork to accommodate work of other trades. Determine size and location of openings, recesses, and chases from trades providing such items. Accurately place and securely support items built into forms. G. Cleaning and Tightening: Thoroughly clean forms and adjacent surfaces to receive concrete. Re-move chips, wood, sawdust, dirt, or other debris just before concrete is placed. Retighten forms and bracing before concrete placement as required to prevent mortar leaks and maintain proper alignment. 3.3 VAPOR RETARDER/BARRIER INSTALLATION A. General: Following leveling and tamping of granular base for slabs on grade, place vapor retard-er/barrier sheeting with longest dimension parallel with direction of pour. B.

Clean reinforcement of loose rust and mill scale, earth, ice, and other materials that reduce or destroy bond with concrete.



C. Accurately position, support, and secure reinforcement against displacement. Locate and support reinforcing by metal chairs, runners, bolsters, spacers, and hangers, as approved by Architect. D. Place reinforcement to obtain at least minimum coverages for concrete protection. Arrange, space, and securely tie bars and bar supports to hold reinforcement in position during concrete placement opera-tions. Set wire ties so ends are directed into concrete, not toward exposed concrete surfaces. E. Install welded wire fabric in as long lengths as practicable. Lap adjoining pieces at least one full mesh and lace splices with wire. Offset laps of adjoining widths to prevent continuous laps in either direc-tion. 3.5 JOINTS A. Construction Joints: Locate and install construction joints as indicated or, if not indicated, locate so as not to impair strength and appearance of the structure, as acceptable to Architect. B. Provide keyways at least 1 1/2 inches deep in construction joints in walls and slabs and between walls and footings. Accepted bulkheads designed for this purpose may be used for slabs. C. Place construction joints perpendicular to main reinforcement. Continue reinforcement across con-struction joints except as otherwise indicated. Do not continue reinforcement through sides of strip placements. D. Use bonding agent on existing concrete surfaces that will be joined with fresh concrete. E. Waterstops: Provide waterstops in construction joints as indicated. Install waterstops to form contin-uous diaphragm in each joint. Make provisions to support and protect exposed waterstops during pro-gress of work. Field fabricate joints in waterstops in accordance with manufacturer's printed instructions. F. Isolation Joints in Slabs on Ground: Construct isolation joints in slabs on ground at points of contact between slabs on ground and vertical surfaces, such as column pedestals, foundation walls, grade beams, and elsewhere as indicated. 1. Joint filler and sealant materials are specified in Division 7 Sections of these specifications. G. Contraction (Control) Joints in Slabs on Ground: Construct contraction joints in slabs on ground to form panels of patterns as shown. Use saw cuts 1/8 inch wide by 1/4 slab depth or inserts 1/4 inch wide by 1/4 of slab depth, unless otherwise indicated. 1. Form contraction joints by inserting premolded plastic, hardboard, or fiberboard strip into fresh con-crete until top surface of strip is flush with slab surface. Tool slab edges round on each side of insert. After concrete has cured, remove inserts and clean groove of loose debris. 2. Contraction joints in unexposed floor slabs may be formed by saw cuts as soon as possible after slab finishing as may be safely done without dislodging aggregate. 3. If joint pattern not shown, provide joints not exceeding 15 feet in either direction and located to con-form to bay spacing wherever possible (at column centerlines, half bays, third bays). 4. Joint sealant material is specified in Division 7 Sections of these specifications. 3.6 INSTALLATION OF EMBEDDED ITEMS



A. General: Set and build into work anchorage devices and other embedded items required for other work that is attached to or supported by cast in place concrete. Use setting drawings, diagrams, instruc-tions, and directions provided by suppliers of items to be attached thereto. B. Install reglets to receive top edge of foundation sheet waterproofing and to receive thru wall flashings in outer face of concrete frame at exterior walls, where flashing is shown at lintels, relieving angles, and other conditions. C. Forms for Slabs: Set edge forms, bulkheads, and intermediate screed strips for slabs to obtain re-quired elevations and contours in finished surfaces. Provide and secure units to support screed strips using strike off templates or compacting type screeds. 3.7 PREPARATION OF FORM SURFACES A. General: Coat contact surfaces of forms with an approved, nonresidual, low VOC, form coating com-pound before reinforcement is placed. B. Do not allow excess form coating material to accumulate in forms or to come into contact with in place concrete surfaces against which fresh concrete will be placed. Apply in compliance with manufac-turer's instructions. C. Coat steel forms with a nonstaining, rust preventative material. Rust stained steel formwork is not acceptable. 3.8 CONCRETE PLACEMENT A. Inspection: Before placing concrete, inspect and complete formwork installation, reinforcing steel, and items to be embedded or cast in. Notify other crafts to permit installation of their work; cooperate with other trades in setting such work. B. General: Comply with ACI 304, "Recommended Practice for Measuring, Mixing, Transporting, and Placing Concrete," and as herein specified. C. Deposit concrete continuously or in layers of such thickness that no concrete will be placed on con-crete that has hardened sufficiently to cause the formation of seams or planes of weakness. If a section cannot be placed continuously, provide construction joints as herein specified. Deposit concrete to avoid segregation at its final location. D. Placing Concrete in Forms: Deposit concrete in forms in horizontal layers not deeper than 24 inches and in a manner to avoid inclined construction joints. Where placement consists of several layers, place each layer while preceding layer is still plastic to avoid cold joints. 1. Consolidate placed concrete by mechanical vibrating equipment supplemented by hand spading, rodding, or tamping. Use equipment and procedures for consolidation of concrete in accordance with ACI 309. 2. Do not use vibrators to transport concrete inside forms. Insert and withdraw vibrators vertically at uniformly spaced locations not farther than visible effectiveness of machine. Place vibrators to rapidly penetrate placed layer and at least 6 inches into preceding layer. Do not insert vibrators into lower layers of concrete that have begun to set. At each insertion limit duration of vibration to time necessary to con-solidate concrete and complete embedment of reinforcement and other embedded items without causing segregation of mix.



E. Placing Concrete Slabs: Deposit and consolidate concrete slabs in a continuous operation, within limits of construction joints, until the placing of a panel or section is completed. 1. Consolidate concrete during placing operations so that concrete is thoroughly worked around rein-forcement and other embedded items and into corners. 2. Bring slab surfaces to correct level with straightedge and strike off. Use bull floats or darbies to smooth surface, free of humps or hollows. Do not disturb slab surfaces prior to beginning finishing opera-tions. 3. Maintain reinforcing in proper position during concrete placement. F. Cold Weather Placing: Comply with provisions of ACI 306 and as follows. Protect concrete work from physical damage or reduced strength that could be caused by frost, freezing actions, or low temper-atures. G. When air temperature has fallen to or is expected to fall below 40 deg F (4 deg C), uniformly heat wa-ter and aggregates before mixing to obtain a concrete mixture temperature of not less than 50 deg F (10 deg C) and not more than 80 deg F (27 deg C) at point of placement. 1. Do not use frozen materials or materials containing ice or snow. Do not place concrete on frozen subgrade or on subgrade containing frozen materials. 2. Do not use calcium chloride, salt, and other materials containing antifreeze agents or chemical accel-erators unless otherwise accepted in mix designs. H. Hot Weather Placing: When hot weather conditions exist that would seriously impair quality and strength of concrete, place concrete in compliance with ACI 305 and as herein specified. 1. Cool ingredients before mixing to maintain concrete temperature at time of placement below 90 deg F (32 deg C). Mixing water may be chilled, or chopped ice may be used to control temperature provided water equivalent of ice is calculated to total amount of mixing water. Use of liquid nitrogen to cool con-crete is Contractor's option. 2. Cover reinforcing steel with water soaked burlap if it becomes too hot, so that steel temperature will not exceed the ambient air temperature immediately before embedment in concrete. 3. Fog spray forms, reinforcing steel, and subgrade just before concrete is placed. 4. Use water reducing retarding admixture when required by high temperatures, low humidity, or other adverse placing conditions, when acceptable to Architect. 3.9 FINISH OF FORMED SURFACES A. Rough Form Finish: For formed concrete surfaces not exposed to view in the finish work or con-cealed by other construction. This is the concrete surface having texture imparted by form facing material used, with tie holes and defective areas repaired and patched and fins and other projections exceeding 1/4 inch in height rubbed down or chipped off. B. Smooth Form Finish: For formed concrete surfaces exposed to view or to be covered with a coating material applied directly to concrete, or a covering material applied directly to concrete, such as water-proofing, dampproofing, veneer plaster, painting, or other similar system. This is an as cast concrete sur-face obtained with selected form facing material, arranged in an orderly and symmetrical manner with a minimum of seams. Repair and patch defective areas with fins and other projections completely removed and smoothed. C. Smooth Rubbed Finish: Provide smooth rubbed finish to scheduled concrete surfaces, which have received smooth form finish treatment, not later than one day after form removal.



1. Moisten concrete surfaces and rub with carborundum brick or other abrasive until a uniform color and texture is produced. Do not apply cement grout other than that created by the rubbing process. D. Grout Cleaned Finish: Provide grout cleaned finish to scheduled concrete surfaces that have re-ceived smooth form finish treatment. 1. Combine one part portland cement to 1 1/2 parts fine sand by volume, and a 50:50 mixture of acrylic or styrene butadiene based bonding admixture and water to consistency of thick paint. Blend standard portland cement and white portland cement, amounts determined by trial patches, so that final color of dry grout will match adjacent surfaces. 2. Thoroughly wet concrete surfaces, apply grout to coat surfaces, and fill small holes. Remove excess grout by scraping and rubbing with clean burlap. Keep damp by fog spray for at least 36 hours after rub-bing. E. Related Unformed Surfaces: At tops of walls, horizontal offsets, and similar unformed surfaces oc-curring adjacent to formed surfaces, strike off smooth and finish with a texture matching adjacent formed surfaces. Continue final surface treatment of formed surfaces uniformly across adjacent unformed sur-faces unless otherwise indicated. 3.10 MONOLITHIC SLAB FINISHES A.

After screeding, consolidating, and leveling concrete slabs, do not work surface until ready for float-ing. Begin floating, using float blades or float shoes only, when surface water has disappeared, when concrete has stiffened sufficiently to permit operation of power driven floats, or both. Consolidate surface with power driven floats or by hand floating if area is small or inaccessible to power units. Check and lev-el surface plane to tolerances of Ff 18 Fl 15. Cut down high spots and fill low spots. Uniformly slope surfaces to drains. Immediately after leveling, refloat surface to a uniform, smooth, granular texture. D. Trowel Finish: Apply trowel finish to monolithic slab surfaces to be exposed to view and slab surfaces to be covered with resilient flooring, carpet, ceramic or quarry tile, paint, or other thin film finish coating system. 1. After floating, begin first trowel finish operation using a power driven trowel. Begin final troweling when surface produces a ringing sound as trowel is moved over surface. Consolidate concrete surface by final hand troweling operation, free of trowel marks, uniform in texture and appearance, and with sur-face leveled to tolerances of Ff 20 Fl 17. Grind smooth surface defects that would telegraph through applied floor covering system. E. Trowel and Fine Broom Finish: Where ceramic or quarry tile is to be installed with thin set mortar, apply trowel finish as specified, then immediately follow with slightly scarifying surface by fine brooming.



F. Nonslip Broom Finish: Apply nonslip broom finish to exterior concrete platforms, steps, and ramps, and elsewhere as indicated. 1. Immediately after float finishing, slightly roughen concrete surface by brooming with fiber bristle broom perpendicular to main traffic route. Coordinate required final finish with Architect before applica-tion. G. Nonslip Aggregate Finish: Apply nonslip aggregate finish to concrete stair treads, platforms, ramps, sloped walks, and elsewhere as indicated. H.

Tamp aggregate flush with surface using a steel trow-el, but do not force below surface. After broadcasting and tamping, apply trowel finishing as herein speci-fied. I. After curing, lightly work surface with a steel wire brush, or an abrasive stone, and water to expose nonslip aggregate. J. Colored Wear Resistant Finish: Provide colored wear resistant finish to monolithic slab surface indi-cated. 1. Apply dry shake materials for colored wear resistant finish at rate of 100 lbs. per 100 sq. ft., unless greater amount is recommended by material manufacturer. 2. Cast a trial slab approximately 10 feet square to determine actual application rate, color, and finish, as acceptable to Architect. 3. Immediately following first floating operation, uniformly distribute with mechanical spreader approxi-mately 2/3 of required weight of dry shake material over concrete surface, and embed by means of power floating. Follow floating operation with second shake application, uniformly distributing remainder of dry shake material with overlapping applications to ensure uniform color, and embed by power floating. 4. After completion of broadcasting and floating, apply trowel finish as herein specified. Cure slab sur-face with curing compound recommended by dry shake hardener manufacturer. Apply curing compound immediately after final finishing. 3.11 CONCRETE CURING AND PROTECTION A. General: Protect freshly placed concrete from premature drying and excessive cold or hot tempera-tures. In hot, dry, and windy weather, protect concrete from rapid moisture loss before and during finish-ing operations with an evaporation control material. Apply in accordance with manufacturer's instructions after screeding and bull floating, but before power floating and troweling. B. Start initial curing as soon as free water has disappeared from concrete surface after placing and fin-ishing. Weather permitting, keep continuously moist for not less than 7 days. C. Curing Methods: Perform curing of concrete by curing and sealing compound, by moist curing, by moisture retaining cover curing, and by combinations thereof, as herein specified. D.

If forms are removed, continue curing by methods specified above, as applicable. H. Curing Unformed Surfaces: Cure unformed surfaces, such as slabs, floor topping, and other flat sur-faces, by application of appropriate curing method. I. Final cure concrete surfaces to receive liquid floor hardener or finish flooring by use of moisture re-taining cover, unless otherwise directed. 3.12 SHORES AND SUPPORTS A. General: Comply with ACI 347 for shoring and reshoring in multistory construction, and as herein specified. B. Extend shoring, if needed, from ground to roof for structures 4 stories or less, unless otherwise per-mitted. C. Omitted. D. Remove shores and reshore in a planned sequence to avoid damage to partially cured concrete. Lo-cate and provide adequate reshoring to support work without excessive stress or deflection. E. Keep reshores in place a minimum of 15 days after placing upper tier, and longer if required, until concrete has attained its required 28 day strength and heavy loads due to construction operations have been removed. 3.13 REMOVAL OF FORMS A. General: Formwork not supporting weight of concrete, such as sides of beams, walls, columns, and similar parts of the work, may be removed after cumulatively curing at not less than 50 deg F (10 deg C) for 24 hours after placing concrete, provided concrete is sufficiently hard to not be damaged by form re-moval operations, and provided curing and protection operations are maintained.

unless otherwise indicated; with cementitious material limited to portland cement and lime.

PART 3 - EXECUTION

3.1 PROTECTION

A. Prevent mortar from staining face of surrounding masonry and other surfaces.

1. Cover sills, ledges, and other projecting items to protect them from mortar droppings. 2. Keep wall area wet below rebuilding and repair work to discourage mortar from adhering. 3. Immediately remove mortar splatters in contact with exposed masonry and other

surfaces.

3.2 MASONRY REPAIR, GENERAL

A. Appearance Standard: Repaired surfaces are to have a uniform appearance as viewed from 20 feet away by Architect.

3.3 ABANDONED ANCHOR REMOVAL

A. Remove abandoned anchors, brackets, wood nailers, and other extraneous items no longer in use unless indicated to remain.

1. Remove items carefully to avoid spalling or cracking masonry. 2. Notify Architect before proceeding if an item cannot be removed without damaging

surrounding masonry.

3. Patch hole where each item was removed unless directed to remove and replace masonry unit.

3.4 BRICK REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT

A. At locations indicated, remove bricks that are damaged or are to be reused. Carefully remove entire units from joint to joint, without damaging surrounding masonry, in a manner that permits replacement with full-size units.

1. When removing single bricks, remove material from center of brick and work toward outside edges.

B. Support and protect remaining masonry that surrounds removal area.

C. Maintain flashing, reinforcement, lintels, and adjoining construction in an undamaged condition. Coordinate with new flashing, reinforcement, and lintels, which are specified in other Sections.



May 20, 2016

D. Notify Architect of unforeseen detrimental conditions including voids, cracks, bulges, and loose units in existing masonry backup, rotted wood, rusted metal, and other deteriorated items.

E. Remove in an undamaged condition as many whole bricks as possible.

1. Remove mortar, loose particles, and soil from brick by cleaning with hand chisels, brushes, and water.

2. Remove sealants by cutting close to brick with utility knife and cleaning with solvents. 3. Store brick for reuse. Store off ground, on skids, and protected from weather. 4. Deliver cleaned brick not required for reuse to Owner unless otherwise indicated.

F. Clean masonry surrounding removal areas by removing mortar, dust, and loose particles in preparation for brick replacement.

G. Replace removed damaged brick with other removed brick in good condition, where possible, or with new brick matching existing brick. Do not use broken units unless they can be cut to usable size.

H. Install replacement brick into bonding and coursing pattern of existing brick. If cutting is required, use a motor-driven saw designed to cut masonry with clean, sharp, unchipped edges.

1. Maintain joint width for replacement units to match existing joints.

I. Lay replacement brick with rebuilding (setting) mortar and with completely filled bed, head, and collar joints. Butter ends with enough mortar to fill head joints and shove into place. Wet both replacement and surrounding bricks that have ASTM C 67 initial rates of absorption (suction) of more than 30 g/30 sq. in. per min. Use wetting methods that ensure that units are nearly saturated but surface is dry when laid.

1. Tool exposed mortar joints in repaired areas to match joints of surrounding existing brickwork.

2. When mortar is hard enough to support units, remove shims and other devices interfering with pointing of joints.

J. Curing: Cure mortar by maintaining in thoroughly damp condition for at least 72 consecutive hours, including weekends and holidays.

1. Hairline cracking within the mortar or mortar separation at edge of a joint is unacceptable. Completely remove such mortar and repoint.

3.5 PAINTING STEEL UNCOVERED DURING THE WORK

A. Notify Architect if steel is exposed during masonry removal.

3.6 MASONRY UNIT PATCHING

A. Patching Bricks:

1. Remove loose material from masonry surface. Carefully remove additional material so patch does not have feathered edges but has square or slightly undercut edges on area

to be patched and is at least 1/4 inch thick, but not less than recommended in writing by patching compound manufacturer.

2. Mask adjacent mortar joint or rake out for repointing if patch extends to edge of masonry unit.

3. Mix patching compound in individual batches to match each unit being patched. Combine one or more colors of patching compound, as needed, to produce exact match.

4. Rinse surface to be patched and leave damp, but without standing water. 5. Brush-coat surfaces with slurry coat of patching compound according to manufacturer's

written instructions. 6. Place patching compound in layers as recommended in writing by patching compound

manufacturer, but not less than 1/4 inch or more than 2 inches thick. Roughen surface of each layer to provide a key for next layer.

7. Trowel, scrape, or carve surface of patch to match texture and surrounding surface plane or contour of masonry unit. Shape and finish surface before or after curing, as determined by testing, to best match existing masonry unit.

8. Keep each layer damp for 72 hours or until patching compound has set. 9. Remove and replace patches with hairline cracks or that show separation from brick at

edges, and those that do not match adjoining brick in color or texture.

3.7 FINAL CLEANING

A. After mortar has fully hardened, thoroughly clean exposed masonry surfaces of excess mortar and foreign matter; use wood scrapers, stiff-nylon or -fiber brushes, and clean water applied by low-pressure spray.

1. Do not use metal scrapers or brushes. 2. Do not use acidic or alkaline cleaners.
