diameter maximum. Remove fins and other projections on the surfaces.
2.4.9.2 Exposed-to-View Surfaces
The combined area of acceptable defective areas must not exceed 0.2
percent of the exposed-to-view surface area and will be limited to holes of
6 mm 1/4 inch diameter maximum.
2.4.10 Stripping
Do not remove precast concrete units from forms until units develop
sufficient strength to safely strip the formwork and to remove the precast
concrete units from the forms to prevent damage to the units from
overstress or chipping.
2.4.11 Built-In Anchorage Devices
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Anchorage devices to be embedded in the
panels must be indicated. Anchorage devices include
threaded concrete inserts for bolted connections;
wood nailers to receive thermal insulation that will
be applied to the panel; and flashing reglets to
receive sheetmetal counter flashing.
**************************************************************************
Accurately position and securely anchor all anchorage devices. Openings
in anchorage devices must be filled temporarily to prevent entry of
concrete.
2.4.12 Lifting Devices
Lifting devices must be provided, and designed for a safety factor of 4,
which includes 100 percent impact. Do not use brittle material.
2.4.13 Finishing for Formed Surfaces
Upon removal of forms, repair and patch defective areas. Where the
finished surface will be exposed to view, the combined area of defective
areas must not exceed 0.2 percent of the surface and will be limited to
honeycomb or rock pockets not deep enough to expose the reinforcement.
Where the finished surface will be concealed by other construction,
defective areas are limited to holes left by the rods and other temporary
inserts and honeycomb or rock pockets not deep enough to expose the
reinforcement. Defective areas must be cut out to solid concrete,
cleaned, and patched with grout. Where concrete surface will be exposed
to view, the patches, when dry, must be indistinguishable from the
surrounding surfaces.
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Delete the following paragraph, and specify
the required finish or finishes when an
exposed-aggregate finish is not required for
exposed-to-view panel surfaces. Other finishes
include textured form finishes, sculptured inserts,
rubbed finishes, and combinations thereof; such
finishes may require the specified exposed-to-view
facing mixture.
SECTION 03 45 00 Page 31
It is recommended that a sample of the required
exposed-to-view finish be on display where it may be
seen by bidders during the bidding period.
**************************************************************************
[ Exposed-aggregate finish must match the finish of the approved sample.
Aggregates in exposed-to-view surfaces will be exposed as soon after
concrete placing as practical by power sanders, wire brushes, or other
acceptable methods. Give surfaces one or more washings with a dilute
solution of muriatic acid, then washed with fresh, clean water to remove
all traces of the acid.
][Create an abrasive-blast finish using an abrasive grit, equipment,
application techniques, and cleaning procedures to expose aggregate and
surrounding matrix surfaces.
][Create an acid-etched finish using acid and hot-water solution, equipment,
application techniques, and cleaning procedures to expose aggregate and
surrounding matrix surfaces. Protect hardware, connections, and insulation
from acid attach.
][Create a honed finish using a continuous mechanical abrasion with fine
grit, followed by filling and rubbing procedures.
][Create a polished finish using a continuous mechanical abrasion with fine
grit, followed by filling and rubbing procedures.
]2.5 JOINT MATERIALS
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Cross sections of gaskets with dimensions
must be indicated.
**************************************************************************
Gasket must be elastomeric material, premolded to cross section indicated.
Material must be a vulcanized closed-cell expanded chloroprene conforming
to ASTM D1056, Grade No. 2A2, with the following additional properties:
a. Brittleness temperature will be minus 5 degrees C 40 degrees F when
tested in accordance with ASTM D746.
b. Flammability resistance needs to be self-extinguishing when tested in
accordance with ASTM D635.
c. Resistance to ozone must be "no cracks" after exposure of a sample, at
20 percent elongation, to an ozone concentration of 100 parts per
million of air by volume in air for 100 hours at 40 degrees C 104
degrees F when tested in accordance with ASTM D1149.
