10 mils, and free of holes and defects
Portable Temporary Concrete washout bin size
55 gallons
Temporary Concrete Washout Bins size
5 CY
What is required if colored concrete is to be incorporated into the work?
technical data, manufacturer specs working plan for mixing, delivery, placement, finishing and curing
When do we need test panels?
When texture or color is used/notify the architect
Default compressive strength for concrete in structures
3600 PSI @ 28 days
Approximate sack range for structural concrete
7-8.8 sacks
Weight limits for bridges after pour
1000 lbs at 2,400 PSI
4000 lbs at 3250 PSI or 28 days
Nothing over 10,000 until pre-tensioned
Are the bottom of footing elevations final? Who do you coordinate with if not? Its a good time to verify what?
No, they are approximate. Coordinate with SR at the very least. Geotech and Bridge design if you want further consultation or confirmation. Good time to ensure the soil is what was expected.
When the roughened surface is shown, what should the amplitude be?
1/4”
Forms Details (Total of 5)
- Mortar Tight
- True to dimensions, lines, and grades of the structure
- Strong enough to prevent deflection during concrete placement up to 3/32” and/or 1/270 center to center length between joists
- Form exposed surfaces so that similar texture color and appearance is obtained
- use form panels that are 3X6 as least except for smaller members or at the ends
Fillet Dimensions at all sharp corners
3/4” X 3/4”
May remove forms not supporting dead load after how long?
24 hours
When to water form before placing concrete?
Immediately before placing concrete
When can you add water to mix?
Before 1/4 CY is discharged
Except for piles, what is the maximum fall height of concrete?
8 ft
How long before deck for stem and soffit pour?
A minimum of 5 days
Can you vibrate forms or reinforcement for consolidation?
NO
MUST PROVIDE SAFE ACCESS FOR INSPECTORS
The amplitude of roughness between girder tops and deck?
1/4”
Details for Hydrostatic pressure relief holes
3” diameter, 15’ O.C. directly above the footings
Ordinary surface finish (General Definition)
Applies to all surfaces, but might not be the final finish. Basic finishes
Class 1 Surface Finish
Smooth even surface of uniform texture and appearance without bulges, depressions, or imperfections
Class 2 Finish
Special Case where mortar is added to exterior
CoC For Cement must be signed by?
-If sent directly to the job site it must be signed by the cement material supplier
-If mixed and sent to the job site, the CoC must be signed by the concrete manufacturer
