```{=html}

(a) **General.** Saw cut sidewalks, curbs, pavements, and structures
    when partial removal is required.

> Construct structurally adequate debris shields to contain debris
> within the construction limits. Do not permit debris to enter
> waterways, travel lanes open to public traffic, or areas designated
> not to be disturbed.
>
> Raze and remove all buildings, foundations, pavements, sidewalks,
> curbs, fences, structures, and other obstructions interfering with the
> work and not designated to remain.
>
> Where part of an existing culvert is removed, remove the entire
> culvert upstream from the removal. The remaining downstream culvert
> may be left in place if no portion of the culvert is within 4 feet of
> the subgrade, embankment slope, or new culvert or structure; and the
> culvert ends are sealed with concrete.
>
> Remove structures and obstructions in the roadbed to 3 feet below
> subgrade elevation. Remove structures and obstructions outside the
> roadbed to 2 feet below finished ground or to the natural stream
> bottom.
>
> Abandon existing manholes, inlets, catch basins, and spring boxes
> according to Subsection 604.07.
>
> Except in excavation areas, backfill and compact cavities left by
> structure removal with backfill material to the level of the finished
> ground. Backfill excavated areas according to Subsection 209.10.
> Compact backfill according to Subsection 209.11.
>
> **(b) Concrete removal by mechanical impact methods**. Saw cut ¾ inch
> deep along all boundaries of repair areas.
>
> Use power-driven hand tools to remove existing concrete with the
> following restrictions:
>
> **(1)** Do not use jack hammers heavier than 30 pounds.
>
> **(2)** Do not operate jack hammers and mechanical chipping tools at
> an angle in excess of 45^o^ from the surface of the slab.
>
> **(3)** Do not use chipping hammers heavier than nominal 15-pound
> class to remove concrete from beneath reinforcing bar.

> Where the bond between existing concrete and reinforcing steel is
> destroyed, remove all concrete adjacent to the steel to provide at
> least ¾-inch clearance for the new concrete to bond to the steel.
>
> Use hand tools (hammers and chisels) to remove final particles of
> concrete or to achieve the required depth.
>
> After removal of deteriorated and unsound concrete, sandblast all
> exposed structural steel, reinforcing steel, and concrete surfaces
> that will be in contact with repair material. Remove all rust and
> foreign material. Clean the sound concrete surface by flushing with a
> high-pressure water jet or oil-free compressed air.
>
> **(c) Reinforcing steel.** Do not cut or damage reinforcing steel
> designated to remain in place. Repair or replace all damaged or
> severely deteriorated bars.
>
> Clean all exposed reinforcing steel that is to remain in place. Remove
> all rust and corrosive products, including oil, dirt, concrete
> fragments, laitance, loose scale, and other coatings that may destroy
> or inhibit the bond with new concrete.
>
> If cleaned reinforcing steel will be exposed for more than 7 days,
> protect the steel from corrosion and contamination. If the steel
> becomes corroded or contaminated, clean the steel immediately before
> the concrete pour.

**{REASON: The addition of the wording in Subsections (b) and (c) above
was proposed by a bridge spec review team consisting of Marc Veneroso,
Mark Clabaugh, and Norm Schneider on 8/1/04. The SCG reviewed this

{REASON: At the May 2005 MTT meeting it was decided that the

and the specifications for bending beam rheometer and direct tension
changed. Brad presented a draft table change at the October 2005 MTT
meeting and the above table change was approved.}

3.  **Composition of Mix (Job-Mix Formula).** Furnish a slurry seal or

**{REASON: In response to an 4/6/06 format question from Wade, Brad
reviewed the specification references in Subsection 410.03 and
determined that the reference to ISSA T 114 should be changed to ISSA A
105 and A 143 as described in his 4/10/06 e-mail. This change implements

pile shall be closer than 6 inches to any cap face. Drive piles so that
the axial alignment is within 1/4 inch per foot, along the longitudinal
axis, of the required alignment. The CO may stop driving to check the
pile alignment. Check alignment of piles that cannot be internally
inspected after installation before the last 5 feet are driven. Do not
pull laterally on piles or splice to correct misalignment. Do not splice
a properly aligned section on a misaligned pile.

[When structural concrete is required, include the
following:]{.underline} (6/4/07)

Delete the third paragraph of Subsection 552.12 and substitute the
following:

When the joint is between two fresh concrete placements, rough float the
first placement to thoroughly consolidate the surface and leave the
surface in a roughened condition. Clean the joint surface of laitance,
curing compound, and other foreign material. Use an abrasive blast or
other approved method to expose the aggregate on the joint surface.
Re-tighten forms where the joint overlaps the first placement.
Immediately before placing new concrete, flush the joint surface with
water and allow to dry to a surface dry condition.

**{REASON: Norm Schneider commented that the AASHTO LRFD Construction
Specifications allow horizontal construction joints to be constructed
without shear keys. Current FP wording does not address cleaning the
joint surface or the surface dry condition before placing fresh
concrete. The reference to coating joint surfaces with a thin coating of
fresh mortar before placing new concrete is no longer recommended
practice and should be omitted. Substitute wording was proposed by a
bridge spec review team consisting of Marc Veneroso, Mark Clabaugh, and
Norm on 8/1/04. The SCG reviewed this proposal and in a conference call
on 7/20/06 agreed to the wording with some editorial changes. This
change was incorporated into the FLH SS in Transmittal No. 3}**

Delete footnote (3) in Table 552-9 and substitute the following:

\(3\) A single compressive strength test result is the average result
form 2 cylinders cast from the same load and tested at 28 days.

**{REASON: On 6/2/06, Wade noted a typo in footnote (3) of Table 552-9

Delete the first paragraph of Subsection 554.08 and substitute the
following:

**554.08 Placing and Fastening.** Place fasten, and support the bars
according to the CRSI *Manual of Standard Practice.* Use precast
concrete blocks or metal supports. Attach concrete block supports to the
supported bar with wire cast in the center of each block. Use class 1
(plastic protected) or class 2, type B (stainless steel protected) metal
supports in contact with exposed concrete surfaces. Use stainless steel
conforming to ASTM A 493, type 430.

Delete the second paragraph of Subsection 555.21 and substitute the

Measure structural steel computed according to the AASHTO *Standard
Specifications for Highway Bridges.* Include all metal items incidental
to the structure and required by the contract such as castings, steel
plates, anchor bolts and nuts, pins and nuts, expansion dams, roadway
drains and scuppers, weld metal, bolts embedded in concrete, cradles and
brackets, posts, conduits and ducts, and structural shapes.

**{REASON: This substitute wording was proposed by a bridge spec review
team consisting of Marc Veneroso, Mark Clabaugh, and Norm Schneider on
8/1/04 to eliminate the measurement and payment of bearings, rockers,
and rollers under Section 555. These items are measured and paid for
under Section 564. The SCG reviewed this proposal and in a conference
call on 7/20/06 agreed to the wording change. This change was

components of vertical shoring towers complying with the *Certification
Program for Bridge Temporary Works* (FHWA-RD-93-033).

**{REASON: This substitute wording was proposed by a bridge spec review
team consisting of Marc Veneroso, Mark Clabaugh, and Norm Schneider on
8/1/04 to replace "manufactured devices" with "factory fabricated

reactive aggregate supplementary requirement in Subsection 703.01 also
applied to coarse aggregate for concrete. This change adds the
requirement to 703.02.}

Delete Subsection 706.07 and substitute the following:

**706.07 Precast Reinforced Concrete Box Sections.** Conform to ASTM C
1433. Meet the design requirements for HS20 loading.

**{REASON: This substitute wording was proposed by a bridge spec review
team consisting of Marc Veneroso, Mark Clabaugh, and Norm Schneider on
8/1/04. The point is to reference the ASTM spec, which is much more user
friendly than the AASHTO spec for precast concrete box culverts. The
loading requirement (HS20) can be modified for any given project. The
SCG reviewed this proposal and in a conference call on 7/20/06 agreed to
the change with minor editorial changes. This change was incorporated
