embedded or cast -in. Notify other crafts and contractors
to permit the installation of their work; cooperate with
other trades in setting such work, as required.
2. The Contractor shall notify the Inspector at least 24
hours in advance of concrete placement for a particular
portion of the building. Placement of reinforcing shall
occur in such sequence that the Inspector has sufficient
time to inspect the correctness of the reinforcing within
placement area & retains the right to require necessary
revisions be made before concrete is placed.
3. Placement
a. Clean out all chips, saw dust, dirt and other
foreign matter from forms and assure that inside of
forms are free of frost. Remove any dirt, debris,
and water from trenches and other excavations.
Remove any dirt, debris and mud from tops of
footings or pile caps before pouring walls.
b. Deposit concrete in forms in horizontal layers not
deeper than 18 inches and in a manner to avoid
inclined construction joints.
c. Deposit concrete continuously or in layers of such
thickness that no concrete will be placed on
concrete which has hardened sufficiently to cause
the formation of seams or planes of weakness within
the section. If a section cannot be placed
continuously, provide construction joints as herein
specified.
Deposit concrete as nearly as practicable to its
final location to avoid segregation due to
rehandling or flowing.
d. Consolidate placed concrete by mechanical vibrating
equipment supplemented by hand - spading, rodding or
tamping. Use vibrators designed to operate with
vibratory element submerged in concrete.
e. Do not use vibrators to transport concrete inside

of forms. Insert and withdraw vibrators vertically
at uniformly spaced locations not farther than the
visible effectiveness of the machine. Do not
insert vibrators into lower layers of concrete that
have begun to set. Limit the duration of vibration
to the time necessary to consolidate the concrete
and complete embedment of reinforcement and other
embedded items without causing segregation of the
mix.

freezing actions, or low temperatures, in
compliance with ACI 306 and as herein specified.
b. When air temperature has fallen to or is expected
to fall below 40 degrees Fahrenheit, uniformly heat
all water and aggregates before mixing as required
to obtain a concrete mixture temperature of not
less than 55 degrees Fahrenheit, and not more than
80 degrees Fahrenheit at point of placement.
c. Do not use frozen materials or materials containing
ice or snow.

temperature at time of placement below 90 degrees
Fahrenheit. Mixing water may be chilled, or
chopped ice may be used to control the concrete
Crawl Key Fire Safety Training Structure
Project No. 90617.03 03300 -16
temperature, provided the water equivalent of the
ice is calculated to the total amount of mixing
water.

it becomes too hot, so that the steel temperature
will not exceed the ambient air temperatures
immediately before embedment in concrete.
d. Wet forms thoroughly before placing concrete.
e. Do not use retarding admixtures without the written
approval of the Architect /Engineer.
f. Place concrete in column forms before beam and slab
steel is in place. Place column concrete in not
more than 36 inch lifts before vibrating.
g. Slabs and Beams: Thoroughly clean beam and slab
forms after placing column concrete. Do not place
concrete in roof or wall beams or slabs until

continuously in layers not over 12 inches deep.
Arrange the work so that the joints will be located
at points indicated.
h. Place slabs on fill carefully to avoid damage to
vapor barrier.
6. Compaction
a. Compact concrete in layers by internal vibrating
equipment, supplemented by hand rodding and tamping
as required. Do not use vibrators to move the
concrete laterally inside the forms.
b. Internal vibrators should maintain a speed of at
least 5,000 impulses per minute when submerged in
concrete (at least one spare vibrator in working
condition should be maintained at the site at all
times) .
c. Limit duration of vibration to the time necessary
to produce satisfactory consolidation without
causing segregation, but in no case more than 15
seconds per square foot of exposed surface. Move
vibrator constantly and place in each specific spot
only once.
