C Review the placement of the vapor barrier. Ensure it is continuous and free from holes, punctures, gaps or
otherwise has compromised vapor retarding capacity.
D Review the Special Inspection report on reinforcing and verify that all non-conforming conditions have been
corrected.
3.02 PREPARATION
A Adjusting Mix Design: Mix design adjustment may be requested by the Contractor when characteristics of
materials, job conditions, weather, test results, or other circumstances warrant, as accepted by the Architect.
Laboratory test data for revised mix design and strength results must be submitted to and accepted by Architect
before using in Work.
B Protection of In-Place Conditions: Take care not to damage existing concrete foundations/footings, or adjacent
framing beyond the scope of the demolition plan.
1 Where work involves cutting or drilling into existing concrete, make cuts straight and plumb to avoid over
cutting or stressing the concrete.
2 Inspect existing concrete for damage that would negatively impact the structural capacity of the concrete.
C Demolition/Removal: Cut concrete scheduled for removal cleanly to limit over removal. Use tools appropriate
for the work.

D Forms:
1 General: Design, erect, support, brace, and maintain formwork to support vertical, lateral, static, and
dynamic loads that might be applied until concrete structure can support such loads. Construct formwork so
concrete members and structures are of correct size, shape, alignment, elevation, and position. Maintain
formwork construction tolerances and surface irregularities complying with the following ACI 347 limits:
a Provide Class A tolerances for concrete surfaces exposed to view.
b Provide Class C tolerances for other concrete surfaces.
2 Construct forms to size, shapes, lines, and dimensions shown and to obtain accurate alignment location,
grades, level, and plumb work in Finished structures. Provide for openings, offsets, sinkages, keyways,
recesses, moldings, reglets, chamfers, blocking, screeds, bulkheads, anchorages, and inserts, and other
features required in the Work. Use selected materials to obtain required finishes. Solidly butt joints and
provide backup at joints to prevent cement paste from leaking.
3 Fabricate forms for easy removal without hammering or prying against concrete surfaces. Provide plates or
wrecking plates where stripping may damage cast concrete surfaces. Provide top forms for inclined surfaces
where slope is too steep to place concrete with bottom forms only. Kerf wood inserts for forming keyways,
reglets, recesses, and the like for easy removal.
4 Provide temporary openings for clean-outs and inspections where interior area of formwork is inaccessible
before and during concrete placement. Securely brace temporary openings and set tightly for forms to
prevent losing concrete mortar. Locate temporary openings in forms at inconspicuous locations.
5 Provisions for other trades: Provide openings in concrete formwork to accommodate work of other trades.
Determine size and location of openings, recesses, and chases from trades providing such items. Accurately
place and securely support items built into forms.
6 Cleaning and tightening: Thoroughly clean forms and adjacent surfaces to receive concrete. Remove chip,
wood, sawdust, dirt, or other debris just before placing concrete. Retighten forms and bracing before
placing concrete, as required, to prevent mortar leaks and maintain proper alignment.
7 Preparing form surfaces:
a General: Coat contact surfaces of forms with an approved, non-residual, low-VOC, form-coating
compound before placing reinforcement.
b Do not allow excess form-coating material to accumulate in forms or come into contact with in-place
concrete surfaces against which fresh concrete will be placed. Apply according to manufacturer’s
instructions.
1) Coat steel forms with a non-staining, rust-preventative material. Rust-stained steel formwork is
not acceptable.
8 Finishing formed surfaces:
a Rough-formed finish: Provide a rough-formed finish on formed concrete surfaces not exposed to view
in the finished Work or concealed by other construction. This is the concrete surface having texture
imparted by form-facing material used, with the holes and defective areas repaired and patched, and fin
and other projections exceeding ¼-inch in height rubbed down or chipped off.
b Smooth-rubbed finish: Provide smooth-rubbed finish on scheduled concrete surfaces that have
received smooth-formed finish treatment not later than 1 day after form removal.
1) Moisten concrete surfaces and rub with carborundurn brick or another abrasive until producing a
uniform color and texture. Do not apply cement grout other than that created by the rubbing
process.
c Related unformed surfaces: At tops of walls, horizontal offsets, and similar unformed surfaces
adjacent to formed surfaces, strike-off smooth and finish with a texture matching adjacent formed
surfaces. Continue final surface treatment of formed surfaces uniformly across adjacent unformed
surfaces unless otherwise indicated.
E Vapor Barrier Installation:
1 General: Place vapor barrier sheeting in position with longest dimension parallel with direction of pour.
2 Set vapor barrier on top of aggregate or sand base, and directly below the concrete slab.
3 Completely cover the concrete placement area.
4 Lap joints 6-inches and seal with manufacturer’s recommended mastic or pressure sensitive tape.
5 ASTM E1663 requires sealing the perimeter of the slab. Extend vapor barrier over footings and seal to
foundation wall, grade beam, or slab at an elevation consistent with the top of the slab or terminate at
impediments such as waterstops or dowels.
a Use seal tape on the entire perimeter edge of the vapor barrier.
b Ensure that the tape is free of dirt, debris or mud to ensure maximum adhesion to concrete, OR seal to
perimeter with tape after the concrete is cured.
6 Repair damaged vapor barrier segments per manufacturer’s instructions. Do not leave cut, ripped or
otherwise damaged vapor barrier un-repaired when concrete is poured.
7 Seal all penetrations, including pipes and vents. Follow manufacturer’s recommendations for sealing.
3.03 REINFORCEMENT PLACEMENT
A General: Comply with CRSI’s recommended practice for placing reinforcing bars, for details and methods of
reinforcement placement and supports as specified.
1 Avoid cutting or puncturing the vapor barrier during reinforcement placement and concrete operations.
Repair damage before placing concrete.
B Clean reinforcement of loose rust and mill scale, earth, ice, and other materials that reduce or destroy bond with
concrete.
C Accurately position, support, and secure reinforcement against displacement. Locate and support reinforcing by
metal chairs, runners, bolsters, spacers, and hangars, as approved by Architect.
D Place reinforcement to maintain minimum coverage as indicated for concrete protection. Arrange, space, and
securely tie bars and bar supports to hold reinforcement in position during concrete placement operations. Set
wire ties so ends are directed into concrete, not toward exposed concrete surfaces.
E Install welded wire fabric in lengths as long as practicable. Lap adjoining pieces at least one full mesh and lace
splices with wire. Offset laps of adjoining widths to prevent continuous laps in either direction.
3.04 CONCRETE PLACEMENT
A Joints:
1 Construction joints: locate and install construction joints so they do not impair strength or appearance of the
structure and as indicated on the structural drawings or approved shop drawings.
2 Isolation Joints: Construct joints in slabs-on-grade at points of contact between slabs-on-grade and vertical
surfaces, such as column pedestals, foundation walls, grade beams, and other locations.
3 Contraction Joints: Construct contraction joints in slabs-on-grade to form panels of patterns as shown. Use
saw cuts V8 inch wide by one-fourth of slab depth or inserts 1/4-inch wide by one-fourth of slab depth,
unless otherwise indicated.
a Contraction joints in unexposed floor slabs may be formed by saw cuts as soon as possible after slab
finishing as may be safely done without dislodging aggregate.
b If joint pattern is not shown, provide joints not exceeding 15-foot in either direction and located to
conform to bay spacing wherever possible (at column centerlines, half-bays, third-bays, etc.)
B Installing embedded items:
1 General: Set and build into formwork anchorage devices and other embedded items required for other work
that is attached to or supported by cast-in-place concrete. Use setting drawings, diagrams, instructions, and
directions provided by suppliers of items to be attached.
2 Forms for Slabs: Set edge forms, bulkheads, and intermediate screed strips for slabs to achieve required
elevations and contours in finished surfaces. Provide and secure units to support screed strips using strike-
off templates or compacting-type screeds.
C Concrete Placement:
1 General: Comply with ACI 304.
2 Deposit concrete continuously or in layers of such thickness that no new concrete will be placed on concrete
that has hardened sufficiently to cause seams or planes of weakness. If a section cannot be placed
continuously, provide construction joints as specified. Deposit concrete to avoid segregation at its final
location.
3 Placing concrete in forms: Deposit concrete in forms in horizontal layers no deeper than 24-inches and in a
manner to avoid inclined construction joints. Where placement consists of several layers, place each layer
while preceding layer is still plastic to avoid cold joints.
a Consolidate placed concrete by mechanical vibrating equipment supplemented by hand spading,
rodding, or tamping. Use equipment and procedures for consolidation of concrete complying with ACI
309.
b Do not use vibrators to transport concrete inside forms. Insert and withdraw vibrators vertically at
uniformly spaced locations no farther than the visible effectiveness of the machine. Place vibrators to
rapidly penetrate placed layer and at least 6-inches into preceding layer. Do not insert vibrators into
lower layers of concrete that have begun to set. At each insertion, limit duration of vibration to time
necessary to consolidate concrete and complete embedment of reinforcement and other embedded
items without causing mix to segregate.
4 Placing concrete slabs: Deposit and consolidate concrete slabs in a continuous operation, within limits of
construction joints, until completing placement of a panel or section.

a Consolidate concrete during placement operations so that concrete is thoroughly worked around
reinforcement, other embedded items and into corners.
b Bring slab surfaces to correct level with a straight edge and strike off. Use bull floats or darbies to
smooth surface free of humps or hollows. Do not disturb slab surfaces prior to beginning finishing
operations.
c Maintain reinforcing in proper position on chairs during concrete placement.
5 Cold-weather placement: Comply with provisions of ACI 306 and as follows. Protect concrete work from
physical damage or reduced strength that could be caused by frost, freezing actions, or low temperatures.
a When air temperature has fallen or is expected to fall below 40 degrees F, uniformly heat water and
aggregates before mixing to obtain a concrete mixture temperature of not less than 50 degrees F and
not more than 80 degrees F at point of placement.
b Do not use frozen materials containing ice or snow. Do not place concrete on frozen subgrade or on
subgrade containing frozen materials.
c Do not use calcium chloride, salt, or other materials containing antifreeze agents or chemical
accelerators unless otherwise accepted in mix design.
6 Hot-weather placement: When hot weather conditions exist that would impair air quality and strength of
concrete, place concrete complying with ACI 305 and as specified.
a Cool ingredients before mixing to maintain concrete temperature at time of placement to below 90
degrees F. Mixing water may be chilled or chopped ice may be used to control temperature, provided
water equivalent of ice is calculated to total amount of mixing water. Using liquid nitrogen to cool
concrete is Contractor’s option.
b Cover reinforcing steel with water-soaked burlap if it becomes too hot, so that steel temperature will
not exceed the ambient air temperature immediately before embedding in concrete.
c Fog spray forms, reinforcing steel, and subgrade just before placing concrete. Keep subgrade moisture
uniform without puddles or dry areas.
d Use water-reducing retarder admixture when required by high-temperatures, low humidity, or other
adverse placing conditions, as acceptable to Architect.
D Monolithic Slab Finishes:
1 Non-exposed interior finish: Apply scratch finish to monolithic slab surfaces to receive concrete floor
topping or mortar setting beds for tile, Portland cement terrazzo, and other bonded applied cementitious
finish flooring material, and where indicated.
a After placing slabs, finish surface to tolerance of F(F) 15 and F(L) 13 measured according to ASTM E
1155.
2 Exposed Exterior Finish – Walkways: Apply a non-slip broom finish to exterior concrete platforms, steps,
and ramps, patios and elsewhere as indicated.
a Immediately after float finishing, slightly roughen concrete surface by brooming with fiber-bristle
broom perpendicular to main traffic route. Coordinate required final finish with Architect before
application.
3 Exposed Exterior Finish – Memory Care Garden, first floor north patio, and second floor balcony: Broom
finish with non-slip concrete sealer.
E Miscellaneous Concrete Items
1 Filling In: fill in holes and openings left in concrete structures for passage of work by other trades, unless
otherwise shown or directed, after work of other trades is in place. Mix, place, and cure concrete as
specified to blend with in-place construction. Provide other miscellaneous concrete filling shown or
required to complete the work.
2 Curbs: Provide monolithic finish to interior curbs by stripping forms while concrete is still green and by
steel-troweling surfaces to a hard, dense finish with corners, intersections, and terminations slightly
rounded.
3 Equipment bases and foundations: Provide machine and equipment bases and foundations as shown on
drawings. Set anchor bolts for machines and equipment to template at correct elevations, complying with
diagrams or templates of manufacturer furnished machines and equipment.
F Concrete Curing and Protection
1 General: Protect freshly placed concrete from premature drying and excessive cold or hot temperatures. In
hot, dry, and windy weather protect concrete from rapid moisture loss before and during finishing operations
with an evaporation-control material. Apply according to manufacturer’s instructions after screeding and
bull floating, but before power floating and troweling.
2 Start initial curing as soon as free water has disappeared from concrete surface after placing finishing.
Weather permitting; keep continuously moist for not less than 7 days.
3 Curing methods: Cure concrete by curing compound, by moist curing, by moisture-retaining cover curing,
or by combining these methods, as specified.
4 Provide moisture by the following methods:
a Keep concrete surface continuously wet by covering with water.
b Use continuous water-fog spray
c Cover concrete surface with specified absorptive cover, thoroughly saturate cover with water, and keep
continuously wet. Place absorptive cover to provide coverage of concrete surfaces and edges, with a 4-
inch lap over adjacent absorptive covers.
5 Provide moisture-retaining cover curings as follows:
a Cover concrete surfaces with moisture-retaining cover for curing concrete, placed in widest practicable
width with sides and ends lapped at least 3-inches and sealed by waterproof tape or adhesive.
Immediately repair any holes or tears during curing period using cover material and waterproof tape.
6 Apply curing compound on exposed interior slabs and on exterior slabs, walks, and curbs as follows:
a Apply curing compound to concrete slab as soon as final finishing operations are complete (within 2-
hours and after surface water sheen has disappeared). Apply uniformly in continuous operation by
power spray or roller according to manufacturer’s directions. Recoat areas subjected to heavy rainfall
within 3-hours after initial application. Maintain continuity of coating and repair damage during
curing period.
b Use membrane curing compounds that will not affect surfaces to be covered with finish materials
applied directly to concrete.
7 Curing formed surfaces: Cure formed concrete surfaces, including underside of beams, supported slabs, and
other similar surfaces, by moist curing with forms in place for the full curing period or until forms are
removed. If forms are removed, continue curing by methods specified above, as applicable.
8 Curing unformed surfaces: Cure unformed surfaces, including slabs, floor topping, and other flat surfaces,
by applying the appropriate curing method:
a Final cure concrete surfaces to receive finish flooring with a moisture-retaining cover unless otherwise
directed.
G Removing forms:
1 General: Formwork not supporting weight of concrete, such as sides of beams, walls, columns, and similar
parts of the Work, may be removed after cumulatively curing not less than 50 degrees F for 24 hours after
placing concrete, provided concrete is sufficiently hard to not be damaged by form-removal operations, and
provided curing and protection operations are maintained.
2 Formwork supporting weight of concrete, such as beam soffits, joists, slabs, and other structural elements,
may not be removed in less than 14 days or until concrete has attained at least 75 percent of design
minimum compressive strength at 28 days. Determine potential compressive strength of in-place concrete
by testing field-cured specimens representative of concrete location or members.
3 Form-facing material may be removed 4 days after placement only if shores and other vertical supports have
been arranged to permit removal of form-facing material without loosening or disturbing shores and
supports.
H Reusing forms:
1 Clean and repair surfaces of forms to be reused in the Work. Split, frayed, delaminated, or otherwise
damaged form-facing material will not be acceptable for exposed surfaces. Apply new form-coating
compounds as specified for new formwork.
2 When forms are extended for successive concrete placement, thoroughly clean surfaces, remove fins and
laitance, and tighten forms to close joints. Align and secure joint to avoid offsets. Do not use patched forms
for exposed concrete surfaces except as acceptable to Architect.
3.05 REPAIR
A Concrete Surface Repair:
1 Patching defective areas: Repair and patch defective areas with cement mortar immediately after removing
forms. Immediately cut out honeycomb, rock pockets, voids over ¼-inch in any dimension, and holes left by
tie rods and bolts, down to solid concrete.
a Cut edges perpendicular to concrete surface.
b Thoroughly clean, dampen with water, and brush coat area to be patched with neat cement grout or
proprietary bonding agent before placing cement mortar or proprietary patching compound.
2 Mix dry-pack mortar, consisting of one part Portland cement to 2-1/2 parts fine aggregate passing a No 16
mesh sieve, using only enough water as required for handling and placing.
a Cut out honeycombs, rock pockets, voids over ¼-inch in any dimension, and holes left by tie-rods and
bolts to solid concrete but in no case to a depth less than 1-inch. Make edges of cuts perpendicular to
the concrete surface. Thoroughly clean, dampen with water, and brush-coat the area to be patches with
bonding agent. Place patching mortar before bonding agent has dried.
b For surfaces exposed to view, blend white Portland cement and standard Portland cement so that, when
dry, patching mortar will match surrounding color. Provide test areas at inconspicuous locations to
verify mixture and color match before proceeding with patching. Compact mortar in place and strike-
off slightly higher than surrounding surface.
3 Repairing formed surfaces: Remove and replace concrete having defective surfaces if defects cannot be
repaired to satisfaction of Architect. Surface defects include color and texture irregularities, cracks, spalls,
air-bubbles, honeycomb, rock pockets, fins and other projections on the surface, and stains and other
discolorations that cannot be removed by cleaning. Flush out form tie holes and fill with dry-pack mortar or
precast cement plugs secured in place with a bonding agent.
a Repair concealed formed surfaces, where possible, containing defects that affect the concrete’s
durability. If defects cannot be repaired, remove and replace the concrete.
4 Repairing unformed surfaces: test unformed surfaces, such as monolithic slabs, for smoothness and verify
surface tolerances specified for each surface and finish. Correct low and high areas as specified. Test
unformed surfaces sloped to drain for trueness of slope and smoothness by using a template having the
required slope.
a Repair finished unformed surfaces containing defects that affect the concrete’s durability. Surface
defects include crazing and cracks in excess of 0.01-inch wide or that penetrate to the reinforcement or
completely through non-reinforced sections regardless of width, spalling, popouts, honeycombs, rock
pockets, and other objectionable conditions.
b Correct high areas in unformed surfaces by grinding after concrete has cured at least 14 days.
c Correct low areas in unformed surfaces during or immediately after completing surface finishing
operations by cutting out low areas and replacing with patching mortar. Finish repaired areas to blend
into adjacent concrete. Proprietary underlayment compounds may be used when acceptable to
Architect.
d Repair defective areas, except random cracks and single holes not exceeding 1-inch in diameter, by
cutting out and replacing with fresh concrete. Remove defective areas with clean, square cuts and
expose reinforcing steel with at least 3/4 –inch clearance all around. Dampen concrete surfaces in
contact with patching concrete and apply bonding agent. Mix patching concrete of same materials to
provide concrete of same type or class as original concrete. Place, compact, and finish to blend with
adjacent finished concrete. Cure in same manner as adjacent concrete.
5 Repair isolated random cracks and single holes 1-inch or less in diameter by dry-packing method. Groove
top of cracks and cut out holes to sound concrete and clean of dust, dirt, and loose particles. Dampen
cleaned concrete surfaces and apply bonding compound. Place dry-pack before bonding agent has dried.
Compact dry-pack mixture in place and finish to match adjacent concrete. Keep patched area continuously
moist for at least 72-hours.
6 Perform structural repairs with prior approval of Architect for method of procedure, using specified epoxy
adhesive and mortar.
7 Repair methods not specified above may be used, subject to acceptance of Architect.
