For form tie holes, use rubber plugs, plastic caulking compound, or equal MOLDS For grooves, drips, rebates, profiles, chamfers, and similar items, use smooth milled pine or douglas fir coated with specified form coating, or standard product extruded polymer plastic units of the indicated or required shapes. PART 3 - EXECUTION 3.01 FORM TYPES A. Smooth Surface Concrete. Use specified plywood or metal forms, as approved, for interior and exterior exposed concrete and all formed concrete in contact with liquids, waterproofing and protective coatings. Metal forms shall be lined with plywood. B. General Concrete. Use either plywood or board forms for concealed surfaces, or form as specified for smooth surface concrete. Metal forms for general concrete need not be lined with plywood.
6 Section C. Approval. Metal forms shall be furnished to the jobsite sufficiently in advance of construction for detailed inspection by the Engineer. Forms showing evidence of worn connections of tie-holes, damaged or warped surfaces, or any other unsatisfactory feature shall be ordered removed from the jobsite by the Contractor, and shall not be returned to the jobsite. Metal forms, faced forms, and other forms shall be maintained in good condition through the construction period, and when in the opinion of the Engineer this is no longer the case, the unsatisfactory material will be removed from the jobsite. 1. Refer to Section for approval of form placement SHORING AND FALSEWORK Distribute loads properly over base area on which shoring is erected, either concrete slabs or ground; if on ground, protect against undermining or settlement, particularly against wetting of soils. A. Alignment. Construct forms to produce in finished structure all lines, grades, and camber as required. B. Camber. Provide jacks, wedges, or similar means to induce camber and to take any settlement in formwork which may occur either before or during placing of concrete. Camber for beams and slabs shall be as and where indicated. Perform screening in such manner as to maintain beam depths and slab thicknesses FORM CONSTRUCTION Build forms to exact shapes, sizes, lines, and dimensions as required to obtain accurate alignment, location and grades, and level and plumb work in finished structures. Provide for openings, offsets, keyways, recesses, moldings, reglets, chamfers, blocking, joint screeds, bulkheads, anchorages, and other required features. Make forms easily removable without hammering or prying against concrete. Use metal spreaders to provide accurate spreading of forms. Construct forms so that no sagging, leakage, or displacement occurs during and after pouring of concrete. Coat forms with specified coating material only prior to placement of reinforcing steel; do not allow coating to contact reinforcing bars. Provide l-foot minimum clear opening over form for finishing concrete. A. Chamfers. Provide 3/4 inch x 3/4 inch chamfer strips for all exposed concrete corners and edges unless otherwise indicated. B. Recesses, Drips and Profiles. Provide types shown and required. C. Form Joints and Tie Holes. Seal joints between form panels with specified foam plastic strips, caulking compound, or tape. Unless form tie spreaders fully seal tie holes in forms, seal around ties with specified materials and prevent leakage of concrete mortar.
7 Section D. Form Windows. Provide windows in forms wherever directed or necessary for access for concrete placement and vibration. Windows shall be of size adequate for tremies and vibrators, spaced at maximum 6 foot centers, horizontally. Windows shall be tightly closed and sealed before placing next lift of concrete. E. Cleanouts and Cleaning. Provide temporary openings in wall and column forms for cleaning and inspection. Prior to pouring, clean all forms and surfaces to receive concrete. F. Reglets and Rebates. Properly form all required reglets and rebates to receive flashing, frames, and other equipment. Dimensions, details, and precise positions of all such reglets and rebates shall be ascertained from the trades whose work is related to or contingent upon same, and the concrete work formed accordingly. G. Re-use. Clean and recondition form material before each re-use. Unsatisfactory material shall be rejected and removed from the site EMBEDDED PIPING AND ROUGH HARDWARE All trades which require openings for the passage of pipes, conduits, and other inserts shall be consulted and the necessary pipe sleeves, anchors, or other required inserts shall be properly and accurately installed. Openings required by other trades shall be reinforced as indicated and required. Conduits or pipes shall be located so as not to reduce the strength of the construction, and in no case shall pipes other than conduits be placed in a slab 4½ or less in thickness. Conduit embedded in a concrete slab shall not have an outside diameter greater than one-third of the thickness of the slab nor be placed below bottom reinforcing steel or over top reinforcing steel. Conduits may be embedded in walls provided they are not larger in outside diameter than one-third the thickness of the wall, are not spaced closer than three diameters on center, and do not impair the strength of the structure. All conduit, piping and other wall penetrations or reinforcements shall be subject to District's policy and approval FIELD QUALITY CONTROL A. Inspection of Forms. Refer to Article 3.01 C for approval requirements for forms prior to use, and to Article 3.05 B for requirements during concrete pours. Refer to Section "Cast-In-Place Concrete" for approval requirements for placement of forms. B. Control During Concrete Placement. Devices of the tell-tale type shall be installed on supported forms and elsewhere as required to detect formwork movements and deflection during concrete placement; plumb-bobs shall be utilized on forms for all walls and columns eight (8) feet or more in height. Required slab and beam cambers shall be checked and correctly maintained as concrete loads are applied on forms. Workmen shall be assigned to check forms during concrete placement and to promptly seal all mortar leaks.
8 Section REMOVAL OF FORMS AND SHORING Do not remove forms or shoring until concrete has attained sufficient strength to support its own weight and all imposed construction and permanent loads. Any damage to the work resulting from early removal of forms or shoring or early imposed loading shall be corrected at no added expense to the District. A. Form Removal. Minimum times for removal after concrete placement are as follows: Beam sides (but not shoring)... 3 days Column forms and wall forms... 2 days Forms for supported roof or floor slabs (but not shoring) days Forms for slabs on grade... 2 days B. Shoring and Falsework Removal. Do not remove shoring and falsework until twenty-one (21) days after concrete placement or until concrete has attained at least 90 percent of the twenty-eight (28) day design compressive strength as demonstrated by control test cylinders, whichever is earlier, but not sooner than fourteen (14) days. C. Restriction. Do not impose construction, equipment, or permanent loads on columns, supported slabs, or supported beams until concrete has attained the twenty-eight (28) day design compressive strength. D. Concrete Curing During Removals. Concrete shall be thoroughly wetted as soon as forms are first loosened and shall be kept wet during the removal operations and until curing media is applied. Potable water supply with hoses shall be ready at each removal location before removal operations are commenced. Contractor shall bear costs and delays caused by any damage resulting from early removal of forms or shoring. Refer to Section "Cast-In-Place Concrete" for curing requirements. END OF SECTION 03150
