PART 3 EXECUTION
1.05 INSTALLATION
A. Place concrete only when forms and bearings are clean, dry. Do
not pour concrete until forms and reinforcing have been inspected
and approved by the Architect.
B. Place no concrete when ambient temperature is less than 40 deg. F.
without specific approval of Architect. If pouring at lower temp-
erature is approved, follow procedures outlined in "Recommended
Practice for Winter Concreting" (ACI 306).
C. If concrete is placed in summer, follow procedures outlined in
"Recommended Practice for Hot Weather Concreting" (ACI 305).
D. Convey concrete from mixer to place of final deposit as rapidly
and continuously as practical until pouring is completed. Avoid
segregation and loss of ingredients. Deposit concrete in forms
as nearly as possible in final position for minimum rehandling.
E. Immediately following deposit of concrete, consolidate by vib-
rating with mechanical vibrator or other means approved by
Architect. Do not vibrate or disturb concrete after initial set.
F. Set water stops and other items required by contract drawings
to be embedded in concrete.
G. Concrete Finishes:
1. Rubbed Finish: Rub finish all exposed concrete wall surfaces,
when surfaces are green, using cement or carbo rundum bricks
and water until fins, projections and hollows have been re-
moved; leave surface uniformly smooth. Do not use mortar,
grout or slurry during operations.
2. Float Finish: While concrete is green, float to true and
uniform plane all concrete steps and exposed tread surfaces;
avoid overworking. Use machine float whenever possible; in
areas too small for satisfactory operation of machine float,
float surface by hand with wood or cork float.
Project #7833
Page 3C - 4

concrete surface, trowel to smooth finish free from trowel marks
and other blemishes.
4. Non -Slip broom finish shall be applied to concrete platforms,
steps and ramps, by brooming perpendicular to main traffic route.
S. Chemical Hardener/Sealer: Apply to interior concrete floors
where shown on drawings or in schedules. Apply after complete
curing and drying of surfaces, in strict accord with manufacturer's
recommendations.
1.06 PROTECTION AND CURING
A. Maintain temperature of SO deg. F. minimum for 72 hours after
placing concrete. Immediately after placing and finishing, protect
structural concrete surfaces not covered by forms, from loss of
surface moisture for at least 7 days. Protect surfaces from which
forms are removed or loosened before curing period has elapsed, as
specified for surfaces not covered by forms.
1. Protect floor slabs from loss of moisture by keeping surfaces
continuously wet, or by laying waterproof paper over entire
surface, lapping edges 4" minimum and sealing with masking
or pressure sensitive tape, or by use of sprayed on curing
compound acceptable to Architect and applied per manufacturer's
recommendations.
B. Exposed concrete: Point holes left by form ties in surfaces to
be exposed in completed work. Rub finish all exposed vertical
surfaces on exterior of building.
C. Interior floor slabs: Install pre -molded expansion joint fillers
whenever slabs abutt columns, foundations and other surfaces.
1. Construction joints or combination of construction and sawcut
joints are to be located so that no more than 1,000 sq. ft. of
concrete slab is enclosed by such joints.
2. Pull up reinforcing mesh while pouring slab in order to maintain
mesh one inch from top of slab.
3. Depress and slope slabs as required by concrete drawings. Hold
all floor slabs to receive ceramic tile to a maximum deviation
from true plane of 4" in 101. Hold all floor slabs to receive
resilient flooring or carpet to maximum deviation from true
plane to 1/8" in 101.
4. Steel trowel finish all slabs. Grind finish slabs if necessary
