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 live
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 ofloose 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.

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:
I. 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 tmder construction and shall
be backfilled with suitable materials as indicated on the plans .
3.04 EARTH EMBANKMENT
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, shnll 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 pem, itted, 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 capac.ity
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. Earth Embankment Under Structures and Pavement: The top six (6") inches of natural
earth comprising the subgrade for structural slabs or for areas of pavement shall be
ninety five percent (95%) to nim:ly eight percent (98%) of Standard Density ASTM
E/\RTHWORK
02300
-5 -
D698 with the moisture content at minus two percent (2%) to plus four percent (4%) of
optimum moisture content.
3.06 MOISTURE MAINTENANCE : The specified moisture content shall be maintained in all
embankments that are to function as subgrade for structures , areas of pavement , or for select
embankment. After completion of the embankment, the Contractor shall prevent excessive loss
of moisture in the embankment by sprinkling as required. Loss of moisture in excess of two
percent (2%) below optimum in the top twelve inches ( 12") of the fill will require that the top
twelve inches (12") of the embankment be scarified, wetted, and recompacted prior to
placement of the structure, select fi II or pavement. If desired , the Contractor may place an
asphalt membrane of emulsified or cutback asphalt over the completed embankment and thus
eliminate the sprinkling requirement.
3.08 TOPSOIL REPLACEMENT: Topsoil shall be carefully placed lo avoid any displacement or
damage to the subgrade . If any of the subgrade is rutted. damaged or displaced it shall be
restored prior to placing topsoil. Topsoil shall be replaced as specified herein per Item 3.02 .

3.06 INSTALLATION OF EMBEDDED ITEMS
A. General: Set and build into the work anchorage devices and other embedded items
requ ired 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
the items to be attached thereto.
B. Edge Forms and Screed Strips for Slabs: Set edge forms or bulkheads and intermediate
screed strips for slabs to obtain the required elevations and contours in the finished
slab surface. Provide and secure units sufficiently strong to support the types of
screeds required. Align the concrete surface to the elevation of the screed strips by the
use of strike-off templates.
3.07 PREPARATION OF FORM SURFACES
A. Coat the contact surfaces of forms with a form-coating compound before
re.inforcement is placed .
B. Do not allow excess form-coating material to accumulate in the forms or to come into
contact with concrete surfaces against which fresh concrete will be placed. Apply in
compliance with manufacturer's instructions.
3.08 CONCRETE PLACEMENT
A. Pre-Placement Inspection: Before placing concrete, inspect and complete the
formwork installation, reinforcing steel, and items to be embedded or cast-in . Notify
other crafts to permit the installation of their work; cooperate with other trades in
setting such work. Thoroughly wet wood forms immediately before placing concrete,
where form-coatings are not used. Notify the Architect/Engineer at least one (2)
working days prior to concrete placement.
B. Coordinate the installation of joint materials and moisture barrier with placement of
forms and reinforcing steel.
C . General: Comply with ACI 304, and as herein specified .
D. 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 lo avoid segregation due to rehandling or flowing.
E. Placing Concrete in Forms : Deposit concrete in grade beam forms in horizontal layers
not deeper than 48" and in a manner to avoid inclined construction joints. Place
beams continuously where possible. Start placing at ends of section and progress
toward the center. Do not place concrete in beams supported on piers until the
concrete in the piers is no longer plastic.
F. Consolidate place concrete by mechanical vibrating equipment supplemented by hand-
CAST-IN-l'LACE CONCRETE
03300
. 6 -
spading, rodding or tamping. Use vibrators designed to operate with vibratory
element submerged in concrete, maintaining a speed of not less than 6000 impulses
per minute .
G. 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. At each insertion, 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.
H. Placing Concrete Slabs: Deposit and consolidate concrete slabs in a continuous
operation , within the limits of construction joints, until the placing of a panel or
section is completed.
I. Consolidate concrete during placing operation so that concrete is thoroughly worked
around reinforcement and other embedded items and into corners.
J . Bring slab surfaces to the correct level with a straight-edge and strikoff. Use bull
floats and darbies to smooth the surface, leaving it free of humps or hollow . Do not
sprinkle water on the plastic surface. Do not disturb the slab surfaces prior to
beginning finishing operations or while seep water is present on slab surface .
K. Maintain reinforcing in the proper position during concrete placement operations.
L. Cold Weather Placing: Protect concrete work from physical damage or reduced
strength whic.h could be caused by frost, freezing actions, or low temperatures, in
compliances with ACT 306 .
M. Hot Weather Placing: When hot weather conditions exists that would seriously impair
the quality and strength of concrete , place concrete in compliance with ACI 305,
3 .09 FINISH OR FORMED SURFACES
A. Rough Form Finish : Provide rough form finish for formed concrete surfaces not
exposed to view in the finish work or by other construction . This is the concrete
surface having the texture imparted by the form facing material used, with defective
areas repaired and patched as specified, and tins and other projections exceeding 1/4"
in height rubbed down with wood blocks .
B. Smooth Form Finish: Provide smooth form finish for formed concrete surface exposed
to view, or that are to be covered with a coating material bonded to the concrete, such
as water-proofing, damp-proofing, painting and other similar system . This is the as-
cast concrete surface as obtained with the form facing material, with defective areas
repaired and patched as specified, and fins and other projections on the surface
completely removed and smoothed.
C. Related Unformed Surfaces: At horizontal offset and similar unformed surfaces
occurring adjacent to formed surfaces , strike-off smooth and finish with a texture
matching adjacent fom,ed surfaces . Continue final surface treatment of formed
CAST-IN-PLACE CONCRETE
03300
. 7.
surfaces uni form ly across adjacent unfonned surfaces.
3.10 MONOLITHIC SLAB FINISHES
A. Non-Slip Broom Finish: Apply non-slip broom finish to exterior concrete platforms,
steps, and ramps. Immediately after trowel finishing, slightly roughen surface by
brooming with fiber bristle broom perpendicular to main traffic route . Coordinate
required final finish with Architect before application.
3.11 CONCRETE CURING
A . General: Protect freshly placed concrete from premature drying and excessive cold or
hot temperature, and maintain without drying at a relatively proper hardening. Start
initial curing as soon as free water has disappeared from concrete surface after placing
and finishing. Keep continuously moist for not less than 72 hours. Begin Final curing
procedures immediately following initial curing and before concrete has dried.
Continue final curing for at least 168 cumulative hours (not necessarily consecutive)
during which concrete has been exposed to air temperatures above 50° F. Avoid rapid
drying at end of final curing period.
B. Concrete surfaces shall be cured by application of curing compound. Provide
membrane curing by applying membrane-forming curing compound to damp concrete
surfaces as soon as water film has disappeared. Apply uniformly in 2-coat continuous
operation by power-spray equipment in accordance with manufacturer's directions.
Apply second coat at right angle to first coat.
3 .12 REMOVAL OF FORMS
A . Formwork not supporting weight of concrete, such as sides of beams, walls. and
similar parts of the work, may be removed 48 hours after placing concrete, provide
concrete is sufficiently hard to not be damaged by form removal operations, and
provided curing and protection operations are maintained.
3.13 RE-USE OF FORMS
A. Clean and repair surfaces of fonns to be re-used in the work. Split, frayed,
de laminated or otherwise damaged form facing material will not be acceptable. Apply
new form coating compound materials to concrete contact form surfaces as specified
f'or new formwork.
B. When forms are extended for successive. concrete placement thoroughly dean
surfaces. remove fins and laitance, and tighten forms to close joints. Align and secure
joints to avoid offsets. Do not use ·'patched" forms for exposed concrete surfaces.
