radius of approximately 8'-0", unless adjacent construc-
tion will not permit such a transition, or if such a
transition defeats positive control of drainage.
B. Grading outside building lines:
1. Grade areas adjacent to buildings to achieve drainage
away from the structures, and to prevent ponding.
2. Finish the surfaces to be free from irregular surface
changes, and:
a. Shape the surface of areas scheduled to be under

soils exposed by excavating, at 85% of maximum den-
sity.
3. Walks:
a. Compact the top 8" of subgrade and each layer of
fill material or backfill material at 90% of maxi-
mum density.
4. Pavements:
a. Compact the top 8" of subgrade and each layer of
fill material or backfill material at 95% of maxi-
mum density for cohesive soil material.
C. Moisture control:
1. Where subgrade or layer of soil material must be
moisture-conditioned before compacting, uniformly apply
water to surface of subgrade or layer of soil material
to prevent free water appearing on surface during or
subsequent to compacting operations.
2. Remove and replace, or scarify and air dry, soil mate-
rial that is too wet to permit compacting to the speci-
fied density.
3. Soil material that has been removed because it is too
wet to permit compacting may be stockpiled or spread
and allowed to dry. Assist drying by discing, harrow-
ing, or pulverizing until moisture content is reduced
to a satisfactory value as determined by moisture-
density relation tests approved by the soils engineer.

will bond with existing surface.
3. When existing ground surface has a density less than
that speci.fied under lIcompactingll for the particular
area, break up the ground surface, pulverize, moisture-
condition to the optimum moisture content, and compact
to required depth and percentage of maximum density.

mum density.
C. Moisture control:
1. Where subgrade or layer of soil material must be
moisture-conditioned before compacting, uniformly apply
water to surface of subgrade or layer of soil material
to prevent free water appearing on surface during or
subsequent to compacting operations.
2. Remove and replace, or scarify and air dry, soil mate-
rial that is too wet to permit compacting to the speci-
fied density.
3. Soil material that has been removed because it is too
wet to permit compacting may be stockpiled or spread
and allowed to dry. Assist drying by discing, harrow-

ing the plugs in place.
2.3 DESIGN OF FORMWORK
A. General:
1. Design, erect, support, brace, and maintain formwork
so it will safely support vertical and lateral loads
that might be applied, until such loads can be suppor-
ted by the concrete structure.
2. Carry vertical and lateral loads to ground by formwork
system and in-place construction that has attained ad-
equate strength for that purpose.
3. Construct formwork so concrete members and structures
are of correct size, shape, alignment, elevation, and
position.
4. Design forms and falsework to include assumed values
of live load, dead load, weight of moving equipment
operated on the formwork, concrete mix, height of con-
crete drop, vibrator frequency, ambient temperature,
foundation pressures, stresses, lateral stability, and
other factors pertinent to safety of the structure
during construction.
5. Provide shores and struts with positive means of ad-
justment capable of taking up formwork settlement
during concrete placing operations, using wedges or
jacks or a combination thereof.
6. Provide trussed supports when adequate foundations for
shores and struts cannot be secured.
7. Support form materials by structural members spaced
sufficiently close to prevent objectionable deflec-
tion.
8. Fit forms placed in successive units for continuous
surfaces to accurate alignment, free from irregulari-
ties, and within the allowable tolerances.
9. Provide formwork sufficiently tight to prevent leakage
of cement paste during concrete placement. Solidly
butt joints, and provide backup material at joints as
required to prevent leakage and prevent fins.
10. Provide camber in formwork as required for anticipated
deflections due to weight and pressures of fresh con-
crete and construction loads.
2.4 EARTH FORMS
A. Side forms for footings may be omitted, and concrete may
be placed directly against excavation, only when requested
by the Contractor and approved by the Architect.
B. When omission of forms is accepted, provide additional
concrete 1" on each side of the minimum design pro-
files and dimensions shown on the Drawings.

pared holes.
2. Provide sharp, clean corners at intersecting planes,
without visible edges or offsets. Back the joints
with extra studs or girts to maintain true, square in-
tersections.
3. Use extra studs, wales, and bracing to prevent objec-
tionable bowing of forms between studs, and to avoid
bowed appearance in concrete. Do not use narrow
strips of form material which will produce bow.
D. Corner treatment:
1. Unless shown otherwise, form champfers with 3/4"x3/4"
strips, accurately formed and surfaced to produce uni-

3.5 GLUED IN PLACE INSTALLATION
A. Examine the surfaces under which the work of this section
will be performed.
1. New surfaces: To be clean and free of all loose dirt.
2. Existing surfaces: To have existing tile removed,
including the removal of glue and loose or peeling
paint, sanding smooth the existing surface to which
the new tile will be glued to.
3. Do not cement acoustical tile when room temperature
exceeds 100 degrees F. or is below 50 degrees F.
Relative humidity should be nor more than 70%. AIC
systems should be installed and operable to maintain
proper temperatures before, during and after instal-
lation of the acoustical tiles.
B. Repainting existing tile
1. Spray Painting: First remove loose dust from the
material with a brush or vacuum cleaner attachment.
Thin the paint only as much as necessary. If it is
too thick for proper spraying, care should be taken
that it is thinned only with the solvent recommended by
the manufacturer. When spray painting, apply the
paint with a stream directed perpendicularly to the
surface of the material, moving the gun back and forth
to get a uniform coating. Under normal conditions,
one coat should be sufficient.
2. Roll coating: Applicator must brush paint all bevels
after roll coating. When painting acoustical materials,
the painter should be very careful that he does not
close up the perforations or fissures in the material.
It is through these openings in the surface that sound
waves enter the body of the acoustical material and
aI'e absorbed.
