DIVISION 3 - CONCRETE <br /> SECTION 03210-REINFORCING STEEL <br /> PART 1-GENERAL <br /> 1.01 WORK INCLUDED <br /> This work shall consist of furnishing and placing reinforcing steel in accordance with these specifications <br /> and in conformity with the Contract Documents. <br /> 1.02 RELATED WORK <br /> Section 03310-Structural Concrete <br /> PART 2-MATERIALS <br /> 2.01 GENERAL <br /> Materials used in the work shall meet the requirements for the class of material named. Unless otherwise <br /> provided on the plans,in the specifications or in the contract,all bar steel reinforcement shall be of the <br /> deformed type. Reinforcing steel shall conform to the requirements of the following specifications: <br /> Deformed Billet-Steel Bars for Concrete <br /> Reinforcement--AASHTO M31,ASTM A615(Grade 60) <br /> Deformed Steel Wire for Concrete Reinforcement--AASHTO M225(ASTM A496) <br /> Cold-Drawn Steel Wire for Concrete Reinforcement--AASHTO M32(ASTM A82) <br /> PART 3-EXECUTION <br /> 3.01 BAR LIST <br /> Copies of a list of all reinforcing steel and bending diagrams shall be furnished to the Engineer at the site of <br /> the work at least 2 weeks before the placing of reinforcing steel is begun. The Contractor shall be <br /> responsible for the accuracy of the lists and for furnishing and placing all reinforcing steel in accordance <br /> with the details shown on the plans. <br /> Bar lists and bending diagrams for structures,which are included in the plans,do not have to be furnished <br /> by the Contractor. When bar lists and bending diagrams are included in the plans,they are intended for <br /> estimating approximate quantities. The Contractor shall verify the quantity,size and shape of the bar <br /> reinforcement against those shown on the plans and make any necessary corrections before ordering. <br /> 3.02 STORING AND SURFACE CONDITION OF REINFORCEMENT <br /> Steel reinforcement shall be stored above the surface of the ground upon platforms,skids,or other supports <br /> and shall be protected as far as practicable from mechanical injury and surface deterioration caused by <br /> exposure to conditions producing rust. When placed in the work,reinforcement shall be free from dirt, <br /> detrimental rust,loose scale,paint,grease,oil,or other foreign materials. Reinforcement shall be free from <br /> injurious defects such as cracks and laminations. Rust,surface seams,surface irregularities or mill scale <br /> will not be cause for rejection,provided the minimum dimensions,cross section area and tensile properties <br /> of a hand wire brushed specimen meets the physical requirements for the size and grade of steel specified. <br /> 3.03 FABRICATION <br /> Fabrication tolerances for straight and bent bars shall be in accordance with the requirements of Subsection <br /> 4.3,Tolerance,of the American Concrete Institute Standard 315. <br /> 9/17 Section 03210-Page 1 of 3 <br />
