EARTHWORK 02300 -2- PART 3 - EXECUTION 3.01 SITE PREPARATION: In general, "site preparation," as specified in Section 02200, shall be performed in advance of grading and earthwork operations and shall be completed over the entire area of earthwork operations. 3.02 TOPSOIL A. The removal and storage of topsoil shall occur after site preparation is complete and before excavation and embankment construction begin. Likewise, topsoil will be replaced after excavation and embankment construction are complete. B. Removal: Topsoil shall be stripped to an average depth of six inches (6") from areas where excavation and embankment construction are planned. Topsoil may be obtained from greater depths if it is uncontaminated by the substratum and it is of good quality, in the opinion of the Architect/Engineer. C. Storage: Topsoil shall be stored in stockpiles conveniently located to areas that will later receive the topsoil. Stockpiles shall be out of the way of earthwork operations in locations approved by the Owner or Architect/Engineer. Stored topsoil shall be kept separate from other excavated materials and shall be protected from contamination by objectionable materials that would render it unsuitable. D. Timing: Topsoil will not be replaced (deposited) until construction activities are complete that would create undesirable conditions in the topsoil, such as overcompaction or contamination. Trenching for items such as electrical conduit and irrigation pressure lines must be complete before topsoil replacement may begin. D. Replacement: Topsoil will be deposited in a single layer or lift. It will be placed, processed, compacted, and graded to leave a finished layer of topsoil not less than five inches in depth. Unless otherwise indicated, topsoil will be replaced over all areas of earthwork (including slopes), except where pavement is planned. F. Grading: Topsoil will be final graded to the elevations shown on the plans. Fine grading will be accomplished with a weighted spike harrow, weighted drag, tractor box blade, light maintainer, or other acceptable machinery. All particles of the finish grade shall be reduced to less than one inch in diameter or they shall be removed. All rocks of one inch or greater shall also be removed. Grading operations and equipment will be such that topsoil does not become overcompacted. Bulldozer blades and front-end loader buckets are not acceptable devices for topsoil grading operations. Final grading within five feet of constructed or installed elements shall be hand raked. G. Acceptability: Finished areas of topsoil are satisfactory if they are true to grade, true in plane, even in gradient (slope), uniform in surface texture, and of normal compaction. Areas of loose granular pockets or of overcompacted soils are not acceptable and will be reworked. Finished areas will promote surface drainage and will be ready for turfgrass planting. EARTHWORK 02300 -3- 3.03 UNCLASSIFIED EXCAVATION A. All excavated areas shall be maintained in a condition to assure proper drainage at all times, and ditches and sumps shall be constructed and maintained to avoid damage to the areas under construction. B. Surplus Material: 1. Surplus excavation is that quantity of material that may be left over after the grading plan is executed, and all earthwork operations, including excavation, embankment construction, topsoil replacement, and final grading, are completed. Any other surplus material shall be disposed of as "waste" as specified in Section 02200. All such cost for removal shall be considered as incorporated into Earthwork costs C. Excavation in Rock: The use of explosives will not be permitted. Unless otherwise indicated on the plans, excavation in solid rock shall extend six inches (6") below required subgrade elevation for the entire width of the area under construction and shall be backfilled with suitable materials as indicated on the plans. A. Earth embankment is defined as embankment composed of suitable materials removed in unclassified excavation and/or imported fill. The construction of embankment includes preparing the area on which fill is to be placed and the depositing, conditioning, and compaction of fill material. B. General: Except as otherwise required by the plans, all embankment shall be constructed in layers approximately parallel to the finished grade of the graded area, and each layer shall be so constructed as to provide a uniform slope as shown on the grading plan. Embankments shall be constructed to correspond to the general shape of the typical sections shown on the plans, and each section of the embankment shall correspond to the detailed section or slopes established by the drawings. After completion of the graded area, embankment shall be continuously maintained to its finished section and grade until the project is accepted. C. Preparation: Prior to placing any embankment, all preparatory operations will have been completed on the excavation sources and areas over which the embankment is to be placed. The subgrade shall be proof rolled to detect soft spots, which if exist, should be reworked. Proof rolling shall be performed using a heavy pneumatc tired roller, loaded dump truck, or similar piece of equipment weighing approximately twenty five (25) tons except as otherwise specified for tree protection and areas inaccessible to vehicular compactors. Stump holes or other small excavations in the limits of the embankments shall be backfilled with suitable material and thoroughly tamped by approved methods before commencing embankment construction. The surface of the ground, including plowed, loosened ground, or surfaces roughened by small washes or otherwise, shall be restored to approximately its original slope by blading or other methods, and, where indicated on the plans or required by the Owner, the ground surface, thus prepared, shall be compacted by sprinkling and rolling. EARTHWORK 02300 -4- D. Scarification: The surface of all areas and slopes over which fill is to be placed, other than rock, shall be scarified to a depth of approximately six (6") inches to provide a bond between the existing surface and the proposed embankment. Scarification shall be accomplished by plowing, discing, or other approved means. Prior to fill placement, the loosened material shall be adjusted to the proper moisture content and recompacted to the density specified herein for fill. E. Benching: Scarification is normally adequate for sloping surfaces. However, in certain cases where fill is to be placed against hillsides or existing embankment with slopes greater than 4:1, the Owner may direct the Contractor to key the fill material to the existing slopes by benching. A minimum of two feet (2') normal to the slope shall be removed and recompacted to insure that the new work is constructed on a firm foundation free of loose or disturbed material. F. Depositing: Fill material shall be placed in horizontal layers or lifts, evenly spread, not to exceed eight (8") inches in loose depth before conditioning and compaction. Unless otherwise permitted, each layer of fill material shall cover the length and width of the area to be filled and shall be conditioned and compacted before the next higher layer of fill is placed. Adequate drainage shall be maintained at all times. G. Watering: At the time of compaction, the moisture content of fill material shall be such that the specified compaction will be obtained, and the fill will be firm, hard, and unyielding. Fill material which contains excessive moisture shall not be compacted until it is dry enough to obtain the specified compaction. H. Compacting: Each layer of earth fill shall be compacted by approved tamping or sheepsfoot rollers, pneumatic tire rollers, or other mechanical means acceptable to the Owner. Hand -directed compaction equipment shall be used in areas inaccessible to vehicular compactors. I. Grading: Embankments shall be constructed in proper sequence and at proper densities for their respective functions. All embankment serves in one capacity or another as subgrade (e.g., under topsoil, under concrete and asphalt pavement, under structures, etc.). Accordingly, the upper layer of embankment shall be graded to within plus or minus 0.10 foot of proper subgrade elevation prior to depositing topsoil, and prior to the construction of pavements, slabs, etc. 3.05 DENSITY CONTROL A. Earth Embankment in General: Earth embankment shall be compacted in lifts at a minimum of ninety percent (90%) of Standard Density ASTM D698 with plus four percent (4%) or minus two percent (2%) percentage points of optimum moisture content. B.

The bottom edge of the material shall extend to or slightly below the bottom edge of the slab and the top edge shall be held approximately 1/2 inch below the surface of the slab. The edge of joints shall be tooled with an edging tool having a 1/2 inch radius. B. Contraction Joints: Contraction joints shall be 1/4 inch wide by 3/4 inch deep, tooled joints placed on six foot centers, unless otherwise indicated. Contraction joints will not be required to be sealed. Sawed joints maybe allowed only if specifically approved by the Engineer. Joints will be sawed as soon as sawing can be performed without stripping aggregate from the concrete, generally within twelve to twenty-four hours after placement, and they shall be completed before uncontrolled cracking of the pavement takes place. C. Construction Joints: Construction joints shall be installed in all concrete work at the locations shown on the Plans. Construction joints formed at the close of each day's work shall be located at any of the control joints designated on the Plans. Joints may be constructed by use of wood or preformed metal bulkheads set true to the section of the finished concrete and cleaned and oiled. Surplus concrete on the subgrade shall be removed before resuming concreting operations. Placement of Concrete: The concrete shall be rapidly deposited on the subgrade immediately after mixing is completed. Subgrade and forms shall be dampened prior to placement of the concrete. The concrete shall be transported, placed and spread in such a CAST -IN -PLACE CONCRETE 03300 -3- manner as to prevent segregation of the aggregate or an excess amount of water and fine materials to be brought to the surface. No concrete shall be placed when the air temperature is less than forty degrees Fahrenheit nor when the temperature of the concrete is eighty-five degrees Fahrenheit or higher, without approval of Construction Inspector. Placement shall be carried on at such a rate that the concrete is at all times plastic and flows readily into the space between the bars. No concrete that has partially hardened or that has been contaminated by foreign material shall be deposited in the work nor shall retempered concrete be used. Each section of pavement between expansion and construction joints shall be placed monolithically. All concrete shall be thoroughly compacted by suitable means during the operation of placing and shall be thoroughly worked around reinforcement and embedded fixtures and into the corners of the forms. Special care shall be taken to prevent voids and honeycombing. The concrete shall then be struck off and bull -floated to the grade shown on the Plans before bleed water has an opportunity to collect on the surface. 3.04 FINISHING All concrete shall be finished by experienced, qualified concrete finishers. All concrete shall have a neat, rounded edge. Edging and jointing (radius described on Plans) shall be accomplished with care so as not to leave deep impressions in the concrete surface adjacent to edges and joints. After the concrete has been floated and has set sufficiently to support the weight of cement finishers, a smooth steel trowel will be used to produce hard surface. The entire surface will then be brushed with a stiff bristle broom to produce a uniform textured finish. All edges and sides of concrete exposed to view shall be free of warp and blemishes with a uniform texture and smoothness as described in Plans. 3.05 CURING Curing Compound: Immediately after the finishing operations, the concrete shall be completely covered with a curing compound. The concrete surface shall be kept moist between finishing operations and the application of the curing compound. The curing compound shall be applied under pressure by means of a spray nozzle at a rate not to exceed 200 square feet per gallon. A minimum of 72 hours curing time will be required. 3.06 CONCRETE WALLS A. Placing Concrete 1. Where tremies are used, or where the free drop is 5'-0" or more, and through reinforcement, use a dumping box or board, moving the concrete therefrom by shovels or hoes. 2. Deposit concrete so that the surface is kept level throughout, a minimum being permitted to flow from one position to another, and place as rapidly as practicable after mixing. 3. Do not use in this Work any concrete not placed within 30 minutes after leaving the mixer. CAST -IN -PLACE CONCRETE 03300 -4- 4. Thoroughly work concrete around reinforcement and embedded fixtures, and into corners of forms, during placing operations. 5. Completely compact with tamping poles and by tapping forms until the concrete is thoroughly compact and without voids. Determine the number of tampers needed by the amount and method of placing concrete. 6. Exercise care to tamp concrete vigorously and thoroughly to obtain maximum density. 7. Use manual tampers as well as mechanical vibrators. a. Exercise care to direct the quick handling of vibrators from one position to another. b. Do not over -vibrate concrete. C. Do not move concrete by use of vibrator. B. Finishing 1. All formed surfaces exposed to view shall have a smooth form finish. 2. After concrete has been properly placed and cured, sandblast finish if indicated on the plans and per specification Section 03350. 3.07 PROTECTION After concrete is placed, finished and cured as required, permit no traffic thereon for three days thereafter and fiu ther protect the surface from damage due to other causes.
