SPECIFICATION NUMBER: <br /> ��� Molybdenummax CONCRETE CONSTRUCTION 03 30 00 SPE <br /> A Freeport-McMoRan Company TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION PROJECT NAME: <br /> CAVR Shaft Closure Project <br /> 1. The thickness of the concrete covering over steel reinforcement shall not be <br /> less than the diameter of the round bars and not less than the distance <br /> indicated in ACI 318 unless noted otherwise on the Design Drawings. <br /> J. Supports <br /> 1. Reinforcement shall be securely held in position by spacers, chairs, or other <br /> approved supports. The type, number and spacing shall conform to ACI <br /> 315. Supports shall be plastic tipped where the finished concrete will be <br /> exposed. <br /> 2. Reinforcement shall be securely tied at intersections and splices,as required <br /> by the CRSI "Manual of Standard Practice for Reinforced Concrete <br /> Construction", to maintain their position during work by other trades and <br /> during concrete placement. Tying shall be done using black annealed wire, <br /> with wire tie ends pointing away from the form. Tack welding of <br /> reinforcing steel or of reinforcing steel assemblies shall not be permitted. <br /> K. Depositing Concrete <br /> 1. Concrete shall be conveyed and placed as rapidly as practical, either by <br /> manual or mechanical means, that will prevent the segregation or loss of <br /> ingredients. No aluminum material shall be used to convey or place <br /> concrete. Concrete shall be deposited continuously in horizontal layers, in <br /> a manner to prevent displacing reinforcement and the accumulation of <br /> concrete on the forms or the reinforcement above the level of fresh concrete. <br /> Concrete that has attained its initial set or otherwise becomes unsuitable for <br /> placement, as established by the Engineer in accordance with ASTM C94, <br /> shall not be placed in the work. <br /> 2. Chuting of concrete shall be permitted only upon approval by the Engineer. <br /> Chutes shall be of rounded cross-section to avoid accumulation of concrete <br /> in corners. The slopes of chutes shall be steep enough to permit flow <br /> without requiring a slump greater than that specified or required for <br /> placement (slope is usually 1 vertical to 2 or 2-1/2 horizontal). In <br /> intermittent operations, when free movement of concrete in the chute is not <br /> possible, discharge the material from the chute into approved hoppers. <br /> Thoroughly clean all chutes and hoppers before and after each run. Wash <br /> water and debris shall be discharged outside of forms. <br /> 3. Where concrete is conveyed and placed by mechanically applied pressure, <br /> the equipment shall be suitable in kind and adequate in capacity for the <br /> work. The operation of the pump shall be such that a continuous stream of <br /> concrete without air pockets is produced. When pumping is completed, the <br /> concrete remaining in the pipeline shall be ejected in such a manner that <br /> 114-910345 CONCRETE CONSTRUCTION <br /> Climax CAVR Shaft Closure Project 03 30 00 SPE-17 <br />
