CAST -IN-PLACE CONCRETE Section 03300 15-1207 8. Apply specified tape at all other conditions not indicated above as recommended by the manufacturer. 3.03 PLACING OF CONCRETE A. Adjacent finish surfaces shall be protected at all times during the concrete pour and finishing. Verify that all formwork is tight and leak -proof before concrete is poured. Finish work defaced during the concrete pour and finishing shall be replaced at no extra cost to the owner. B. Transport concrete from mixer to place of final deposit as rapidly as practicable by methods which will prevent separation or loss of ingredients. Deposit as close as practicable in final position to avoid re -handling or flowing. Partially hardened concrete must not be deposited in work. Concrete shall not be wheeled directly over the top of reinforcing steel. C. Placing: Once started, continue concrete pour continuously until section is complete between predetermined construction joints. Prevent splashing of concrete onto adjacent forms or reinforcement and remove such accumulation of hardened or partially hardened concrete from forms or reinforcement before work proceeds in that area. Free fall of concrete shall not to exceed 4'-0" in height. If necessary, provide lower openings in forms to inject concrete and to reduce fall height. D. Remove form spreaders as placing of concrete progresses. E. Place footings as monolithic and in one continuous pour. F. Keep excavations free of standing water. G. Compacting: All concrete shall be compacted by mechanical vibrators. Concrete shall be thoroughly worked around reinforcement and embedded fixtures and into corners of forms. Vibrating shall not be applied to concrete which has already begun to initially set nor shall it be continued so long as to cause segregation of materials. H. Grout under column bearing plates: Dry pack with specified Non -shrink Grout, as recommended by manufacturer. Use as little water as practicable. Ram grout solid into place. Concrete slabs (Interior and Exterior): All slabs shall be formed and finished to required line and grades. Slabs on grade shall be true and flat with a maximum tolerance of 1/8" in 10' for flatness. Interior slabs shall also be level. Slabs which are not flat and are outside of the maximum specified tolerances shall be brought into compliance by the Contractor at no additional expense to the Owner. 2. Thoroughly water and soak the exterior slab subgrade at least one day prior to the concrete pour and immediately before the concrete pour. Provide damming as required to keep water within the formed area and to allow for proper saturation of the subgrade. 3. Slope slab to floor drain where indicated on plans. Placing in hot weather: Comply with ACI 305R-99. Concrete shall not exceed 85 degrees F 7
