1/3. Submissions:

A. Factory certificates: the steel manufacturer's Certificates should

be submitted with attached factory tests for arming steel.
The Concrete's reinforcement works
The Camps Construction Project for the Special Emergency Forces

Certificates should specify the chemical and physical properties of

the steel bars including the records of tensile and flexion tests of
an independent testing laboratory.
B. Executive workshop drawings: Provides graphics workshop
drawings should be submitted for manufacturing, flexion and
installation of the concrete reinforcement steel that should
confirmed with detailed reinforcement of concrete origins booklet
ACI 135, which clarifies bars, distribution and assembly as required
for the manufacturing and installation including the required
special reinforcement at slots of concrete origins.
1/4. Transportation, storage and handling
A. The reinforcement will be supplied in marked packing with
identification card. The identification metal cards will be used to
determine the bars size, lengths and other information
representing the described signs on installation schemes.
B. is stored in concrete reinforcement materials should be stored on
site high off the ground in covered and shaded stores to prevent
damage and accumulation of dirt and rust or other harmful
substances.
Part (2): Products
2/1. Materials:
A. General: the reinforcement bars should be free of peel loose rust
and manufacturing shrapnel, the layers of paint or any other
material which can either reduce or prevent the cohesion with
Concrete.
B. The reinforcement bars should be confirmed with standards
ASTM A615 or SSA 223 including requirements of appendix S1 or
ASTM A 706. It uses 60 degree (undergo stress 420MPa.). The bars
with protrusion will be used, unless otherwise specified in
drawings.
C. Steel wires should be confirmed with the standards ASTM A 82,
cold-pulling smooth steel. (Undergo Stress 465 MPa.).
D. The assembled and welded wires should be confirmed with the
standards ASTM A 185 or SSA 224 (Undergo Stress 500 MPa.).

E. The reinforcement installation materials: The stirrups, seats,

spacers and other materials will be used to save benny distance,
pivot and reinforcement for iron installation in placements.
1. The used wire bars should be confirmed with requirements CRSI
or precast concrete pillars and according to Eng.'s approval, unless
otherwise specified. The non-acceptable materials of wood and
bricks should not be used.
2. The plastic pillars will be used for the apparent concrete surfaces,
when pillars are touching the formwork.
2/2. Manufacturing
A. General
1. The reinforcement bars will be manufactured to comply with the
required shapes and dimensions with manufacturing tolerances
according to standards ACI 315.
2. The reinforcement bars will be cold-flexed, unless otherwise
permitted by Eng.
3. In the case of there is an error in manufacturing, the bars should
not re-flexing or re-straightening by manner, which will occur
damage or weakening of the material.
B. Unacceptable materials: defective reinforcing defective in any of
the following defects will not be allowed to use it in work:
1. Lengths, diameters and flexed bars that exceed the specified
manufacturing tolerances.
2. The non-specified flexion and twists in drawings or final executive
workshop drawings.
3. Bars, which have reduced sectors as a result of rust or any other
reason.
4. Bars with surfaces that have rust or rust peel or factory shrapnel
or contaminated by dust or soil or paints or oils or any other
harmful materials.
Part (3): execution
3/1 Previewing
A. The lower surfaces should be inspected as well as the conditions
that will be existence and influence of concrete formwork
implementation. Any unsatisfactory conditions should be

corrected and work will be continuing after correcting the

unsatisfactory situation by acceptable manner to the engineer.
3/2 Installation:
A. The specified regulations, standards and recommended practices
of concrete reinforcement Institute for the installation of
reinforcement bars with details and methods of installation
according to the specifications in this section.
B. The bars should be cleaned to remove rust or rust peel or factory
unassembled shrapnel, dirt and soil, paints, oils or other harmful
substances.
C. Reinforcement bars will be installed, placed and secured against
displacement as a result of the establishment of formwork or
concrete molding process. Reinforcement will be placed by seats,
stirrups, spacers and relationships as required.
D. The reinforcement should be installed to achieve the basic cover
for the protection of concrete. The installation and linking bars will
distribute, spaced and secured together by flexible wires with
diameter 1.6 mm to connect the reinforcement accurately in its
placements during concrete molding. The linking wires will be
placed whereas their ends will be routed away from the apparent
concrete surface.
E. The assembled welded wire should be installed with usable
lengths. The overlap between the contiguous parts will be as
defined but at least the whole unit of the network and the links
are connected by flexible wire 1.6 mm. The end of the overlap will
be separated of contiguous width to prevent the continuation of
overlay.
F. The sufficient number of pillars with enough strong to carry the
reinforcement. The reinforcement bars should not be putted in
distance greater than 50 mm from the tip end of the continually
installation bar. Pillars should not be used as bases of concrete
equipment transportation corridors and the similar of
construction loads.
G. Links: reinforced links will be made at ends of overlap by
installation the contacted bars and they will be linked tightly by
connectivity wired. The requirements of drawings of placement

and overlay links will be applied. In case of there is no

identification or clarification of the requirements or standards, the
standards ACI 318 will be applied for the minimum limit of overlap
the bars links.
H. Reinforcement should be protected after installation even the
concrete molding by covers of Polyethylene or other similar slices,
which should not be impermeable.
I. Reinforcement should not be welded.
