the Contractor must have equipment available to remove surrounding soil (creating a safe
working environment) so as to completely expose a test area of the pile as described above.
2) Means to insure flat, level,(axial to pile) and solid concrete pile top.
108
4) At least two strain transducers and two accelerometers to the pile near the pile head during
initial driving or at a convenient location during restrike testing. A cable or wireless
transmission connects the sensors near the pile head with the Pile Driving Analyzer located at
a safe distance from the pile, but not more than 100m from the pile.
5) The dynamic monitoring shall be performed using a Pile Driving Analyzer (Model PAK,PAX or
PAL). All equipment necessary for dynamic monitoring such as sensors, cables or wireless
transmitters, etc. shall be furnished by the Dynamic Testing Consultant. The equipment shall
conform to the requirements of ASTM D 4945.
6) A winch and tripod or crane capable of free falling the hammer with its single line shall be
arranged at site. A guide should be provided for allowing variable drop heights typically
between 1 to 2m, or as determined by the Engineer.
7) A pile top cushion consisting of plywood with total thickness of a minimum of 50mm or
determined by the Engineer.
8) A steel striker plate/steel helmet with a thickness of at least 50mm and not less than the
area of the impacting surface of the drop weight to be placed on top of the plywood cushion.
9) If protruding reinforcing bars are present, the Contractor has the option to incorporate the
reinforcing steel in the test area. Upon successful completion of the dynamic test, the
surrounding concrete can then be removed as to make the pile suitable for use in the
structure. If the Contractor selects not to incorporate the steel in such a manner as described
above, then a steel beam or pipe (cross sectional area approximately 20% of the pile cross
sectional area) shall be supplied with sufficient length such that the ram impact will not
interfere with the reinforcing bars. Steel striker plate/helmet and plywood cushion must also
be sized so that they cover as much of the impact area as possible.
1113.2.3

that outlined in ASTM specification D 4945-00 Section 5 :
109
1) Pile Driving Analyzer (PDA) manufactured by Pile Dynamics, Inc, Model PAK,PAX or
PAL.
2) Four calibrated strain transducers.
3) Four calibrated accelerometers.
Prior to performing the dynamic test, the Contractor will be provided with soil borings, pile
installation records, concrete properties (strength. etc) and details regarding the anticipated
dynamic loading equipment. The Contractor/the PDA Testing Service provider is required to
perform wave equation analyses(using GRLWEAP or equivalent) to determine the suitability of
the proposed dynamic loading equipment and an acceptable range of ram drop heights so as
not to cause damage in the pile during the test.
1113.2.4 Procedure:
1) The test pile shall be constructed using the approved installation techniques.
2)
Prior to testing time, the Contractor shall make the pile test area length completely
The Contractor under his direction, shall smooth (by grinding) areas around the pile
Sensors shall be attached by the Contractor/ the PDA Testing Service provider to the
exposed concrete or steel casing in a secure manner as to prevent slippage under impact.
5) Pile top should be examined to insure concrete is flush with or above the casing.
6) Apply plywood cushion and then striker plate/ steel helmet to the pile top. If reinforcing bar
protrudes from the pile top, then the steel beam or pipe(used to transfer the impact to the pile
top,) should be secured in such a manner as not to move under impact.
7) At least two (2) hammer impacts should be applied to the pile top. First drop height should
be minimal to allow the Engineer of the PDA Testing Service provider to assess the testing
equipment, the driving system and pile stresses. Subsequent impacts can then be applied by
utilizing sequentially higher drop heights until either stresses in the pile are excessive or the
pile permanent set for the applied impact exceeds 2.5mm.
8)
Upon completion of the test, it is the Contractors responsibility to return the pile to

Placing of Concrete
1709.2.1 General
Concrete shall be placed in such a manner as to avoid segregation and the displacement of
reinforcing bars and shall be spread in horizontal layers where practicable. Concrete shall be
placed where necessary inside forms by hand shovels arid in no instance shall vibrators be so
manipulated to transport concrete inside formwork. Care shall be taken to prevent mortar from
spattering forms and reinforcing steel and from drying ahead of the final covering with
concrete. When spattering has occurred the forms and steel shall be cleaned with wire brushes
or scrapers before concrete is placed around steel or in forms that have been spattered.
All chutes, troughs, and pipes shall be kept clean and free from coating of hardened concrete
or mortar.
Concrete shall be placed continuously throughout each section of the structure or between
indicated joints if shown on the Drawings or as directed by the Engineer
Concrete in slab spans shall be placed in one continuous operation and in one layer for each
span, unless otherwise shown on the Drawings.
The construction procedure for the concrete deck slab on steel box girders shall be so
arranged as to eliminate excessive stress in new or latest placed concrete.
Immediately before placing concrete, the top surface of the previously placed concrete shall be
chipped off with a sharp hand tool until the aggregate is exposed and cleaned. The Contractor
shall check all falsework for shrinkage and settlement, and shall tighten all wedges to ensure
minimum deflection of all formwork.
131
1710
Construction Joints
The following paragraphs shall be added to Clause 1710 of the MOSRT&H Specification:
1710.1
General
Construction joints shall be located where shown on the Drawings or permitted or instructed
by the Engineer. Construction joints shall be perpendicular to the principal lines of stress and
in general shall be located at points of minimum shear.
At horizontal construction joints, details shall be as approved by the Engineer. Before placing
fresh concrete, the surfaces of construction joints shall be sandblasted or washed and
scrubbed with a wire brush to expose clean aggregate, drenched with water until saturated,
and kept saturated until the new concrete is placed. Immediately prior to placing new concrete
the forms shall be drawn tight against the concrete already in place. Concrete in substructures
shall be placed in such a manner that all horizontal construction joints will be truly horizontal.
Where vertical construction joints are necessary, reinforcing bars shall extend across the joint
in such a manner as to make the structure monolithic. Special care shall be taken to avoid
construction joints through paneled wing walls or other large surfaces which are to have an
architectural finish. Necessary dowel, load-transfer devices, and bonding devices shall be
placed as shown on the Drawings or directed by the Engineer.
1710.2
Expansion Joints
Expansion joints shall be the type, and be located and formed as required on the drawings.
1710.3

section of the concrete floor. The fabrication and painting shall conform to the requirements of
the manufacture's specifications. When called for on the Drawings or in the Specification, the
material shall be galvanized in lieu of painting. Care shall be taken to ensure that the surface
in the finished plane is true and free of warping.
Positive methods shall be employed in placing the joints to keep them in correct position
during the placing of the concrete. The opening at expansion joints shall be that designated on
the Drawings at normal temperature, and care shall be taken to avoid impairment of the
clearance in any manner.
1711
The following paragraphs shall be added to Clause 1711 of the MOSRT&H Specification:
Concrete shall not be deposited in water except with the approval of the Engineer and with his
immediate supervision, and by the method described herein.
To prevent segregation, the concrete shall be carefully placed in a compact mass in its final
position by means of a tremie tube or pipe. Concrete shall not be placed in running water. The
method of depositing concrete shall be so regulated as to produce approximately horizontal
surfaces.
Concrete seals shall be placed in one continuous operation. When a tremie tube or pipe is
used, it shall consist of a tube or pipe not less than 25 centimeters in diameter, constructed in
sections having flanged couplings fitted with gaskets. The means of supporting the tremie shall
be such as to permit free movement of the discharge end over the entire top of the concrete
and permit its being lowered rapidly when necessary to choke off or retard the flow. The
tremie shall be filled by a method that will prevent washing of the concrete. The discharge end
shall be completely submerged in concrete at all times and the tremie shall contain sufficient
concrete to prevent any water entry.
Dewatering shall proceed only when the concrete seal is considered strong enough to
withstand any pressures to be exerted upon it. This time will be decided by the Engineer. All
laitance or other unsatisfactory material shall be removed from the exposed surface by
133
scraping, jetting, chipping or other means which will not unduly injure the seal.
1712
1712.1
No concrete shall be placed in the Works without the Engineer being satisfied with adequate
protection from rainfall.
1713
The following shall be added as an introduction to Clause 1713 of the MOSRT&H Specification.
Immediately after forms have been removed and finishing completed, all concrete shall be
cured by one of the following methods. The Engineer will specify the concrete surface
which may be cured by either method.
1713.1
Water Curing
134
The following paragraphs shall be added to Clause 1713.1 of the MOSRT&H Specification:The entire exposed surfaces of concrete shall be protected from the sun and the whole
structure shall be covered with wet burlap, cotton mats, or other suitable material approved by
the Engineer for a period of at least fourteen (14) days after placing. These materials shall be
kept thoroughly wet for the entire curing period. Kerbs, walls, and other surfaces requiring a
rubbed finish may have the covering temporarily removed for finishing, but the covering must
be restored as soon as possible.
All concrete slabs shall be covered as soon as possible with wet burlap or other suitable
material and kept thoroughly wet for at least fourteen (14) days. This covering material shall
not be cleared from the surface of the concrete slabs for a period of twenty-one (21) days.
If wood forms are allowed to remain in place during the curing period, they shall be kept moist
at all times to prevent them from shrinking.
1713.2
Steam Curing
135
1713.3
Curing Compounds
The following paragraphs shall be added to Clause 1713.3 of the MOSRT&H Specification:
All surfaces shall be given the required surface finish prior to application of the curing
compound. During the finishing period, the concrete shall be protected by the water method of
curing.
Membrane curing compound shall be applied after the removal of forms, or after the
disappearance of surface water. It shall be sprayed on the concrete surface in one or more
coats at the rate recommended by the manufacturer.
Should the membrane seal be broken or damaged before the expiration of the curing period,
the damaged area shall be immediately repaired by the application of additional membrane
material.
The Contractor's proposals for me use of liquid membrane curing compound and its locations
shall be subject to the approval of the Engineer.
1714
Finishing
The following paragraphs shall be added to Clause 1714 of the MOSRT&H Specification:Finishing Concrete Decks
Immediately after placing concrete, concrete decks shall be struck off with templates to
provide proper transverse sections and shall be hand finished smooth to the concrete levels.
Finish shall be slightly, but uniformly roughened by brooming. The finished surface shall not
vary more than 10 millimeters from a 4 m straightedge placed parallel to the centerline of the
roadway and 10 millimeters from a transverse template cut to the true cross section of the
roadway.
Exposed faces of kerbs and footpath shall be fmished true to lines and grades. The kerb
surface shall be wood floated to a smooth but non-slippery finish. Footpath surfaces shall be
slightly but uniformly roughened by brooming across the direction of travel.
136
Ordinary Finish
An ordinary finish is defined as the finish left on a surface after the removal of the forms when
all holes left by form ties have been filled, and any minor surface defects have been repaired.
The surface shall be true and even, free from depressions or projections and of reasonably
uniform colour.
Repaired surfaces, the appearance of which is not satisfactory, shall be "rubbed" as specified
below.
The concrete in bridge seats, caps, and tops of walls shall be struck off with a straightedge
and floated to true grade. Unless shown on the Drawings the use of mortar topping for
concrete surfaces will not be permitted.
Rubbed Finish
After the removal of forms the rubbing of concrete shall be started as soon as its condition will
permit. Immediately before starting this work the concrete shall be kept thoroughly saturated
with water. Sufficient time shall have elapsed before the wetting down to allow the mortar
used in patching to set thoroughly. Surfaces to be finished shall be rubbed with a medium
coarse carborundum stone, using a small amount of mortar on its face.
The mortar shall be composed of cement and fine sand mixed in the same proportions as
those used in the concrete being finished. Rubbing shall be continued until all form marks,
projections and irregularities have been removed, all voids filled, and a uniform surface has
been obtained. The paste produced by this rubbing shall be left in place.
After all concrete above the surface being treated has been cast, the final finish shall be
obtained by rubbing with a fine carborundum stone and water. This rubbing shall be continued
until the entire surface is of a smooth texture and uniform colour.
After the final rubbing has been completed and the surface has dried, it shall be rubbed with
burlap to remove loose particles and laitance. The final surface shall be free from all unsound
patches, paste, powder and objectionable marks.
137
1715
Tolerances
From 1716.1 to 1716.6 are unaltered and shall remain as in MOSRT&H Specifications
The following paragraph shall be added to Clause 1716 of the MOSRT&H Specification:

Strength Requirements
(a)
Specimen Preparation
Test cubes made at the Site shall conform to IS: 1199, and the compression test performed on
cubes shall conform to IS:516.
(b)
Failures
In the event of compressive strength test results not complying with the requirements hereof
or in the event of doubtful results, the Engineer will proceed to check the in-situ compression
strength by means of Schmidt hammer blows or crushing tests performed on specimens taken
with a rotary core borer at suitable points indicated by the Engineer on the structure already
constructed.
Such tests shall be carried out by an authority or independent registered laboratory having
suitable testing facilities and apparatus. If such tests show strength in compliance with the
requirements herein specified, the concrete will be considered satisfactory. If such tests do not
comply with the requirements, the Engineer may direct the Contractor to cut out and make
good the defective work at the Contractor's cost.
(c)
Care of Specimens
The cost of taking specimens and performing the tests including the cost of providing stout,
substantial packing cases and the cost of shipping or transporting the test specimens from the
site to the laboratory shall be included in the Contract Price. The Contractor shall take, on his
own responsibility, every precaution to prevent damages to the test specimens during handling
and transporting.
(d)
Records
139
The records of all tests shall be kept by the Contractor but results shall be available at all times
to the Engineer. The Contractor shall be responsible for making such adjustments as may be
necessary to produce the specified concrete and the test results shall include whether or not
the concrete is satisfactory.
1717
The following paragraphs shall be added to Clause 1717 of the MOSRT&H Specification:
Concrete shall be measured by the number of cubic meters for each grade complete in place
and accepted. In computing quantities the dimensions used shall be those shown on the
Drawings or ordered in writing by the Engineer but the measurement shall not include any
concrete used for any direct or indirect temporary works. No deduction from the measured
quantity shall be made for the volume occupied by pipes less than 20 cm in diameter nor for
reinforcing steel, anchors, conduits or weep holes except that deductions will be made for the
volume of structural steel encased in concrete.
No pay allowance shall be made for any increased cement content, for any admixtures, nor for
any finishing of any description of concrete or concrete floor.
Concrete used for the Works in section 800 and 2900 and elsewhere where so stated in this
Specification will not be measured separately for payment under this section.
The quantities of reinforcing steel and other Contract items that are included in the completed
and accepted structure shall be measured for payment as described for the separate items
involved.

The following paragraphs shall be added to Clause 1718 of the MOSRT&H Specification;
The work measured as provided above for the grade of concrete specified, shall be paid for at
the unit cost per cubic meter for concrete. The payment shall be full compensation for
furnishing and placing all materials, including all labour, tools, equipment, casting bed for
precast segmental boxgirder, transportation and erection of precast segments falsework
(scaffolding and supporting), including shoring of formwork of beams and slabs, for mixing,
placing, finishing and curing the concrete, etc., and all incidental works thereto including the
provision and construction of drainage falls and systems, weep holes and the like. The supply
of reinforcing and prestressing steel shall be paid for separately and is not included in the
payment for concrete.
Application of Loading
Traffic or heavy construction equipment shall not be allowed on reinforced concrete structures
until 28 days have elapsed from the last placing of concrete. If it is proposed to use the
structure at an earlier date, extra test specimens shall be cast. The structure may be used,
subject to the prior approval of the Engineer, when tests of these specimens show that the
concrete has attained its specified 28-day strength.
If there is likelihood of water accumulating behind any wall, the backfill shall not be placed
until after the retaining wall, diaphragm, or spandrel walls are 28 days old or until test
specimens indicate the concrete has attained the required 28 day strength. Any such
backfilling shall require the prior approval of the Engineer.

Use of Adhesives
1720.1
The block surface to which adhesive is to be applied shall be wire brushed till
smooth,
removing any sheath ends that may be projecting beyond the jointing surface.
After treating the jointing surface to a smooth and flat surface, dust and dirt shall be removed
using compressed air or other means. If any form of releasing agent or grease has been
deposited, the surface shall be degreased using an organic solvent.
1720.2
After separating the form from the PC block, the surface shall be covered with a sheet cover,
etc., as protection against rainwater, in order to maintain the bonded blocks in a dried
condition. If bonding work must be performed when the PC blocks to be bonded are in a wet
condition, forced drying by means of a torch lamp, gas burner, etc., must be performed.
1720.3
On completion of surface treatment, the base agent and hardener shall be mixed according to
the specified mix proportion and thoroughly stirred.
142
1720.4
Application Method
The adhesive is to be applied thoroughly to both bonding surfaces using a rubber, or metallic
spatula. The optimum coat thickness for each concrete surface is about 1 mm and the
adhesive should ooze out beyond the joints when the blocks are jointed and pre-stressing is
introduced.
1720.5
Jointing
The air temperature during block jointing should preferably be in the range from 5 to 350 C
and work should proceed so that the first pre-stressing should be completed at least within the
adhesive's pot life. Since with the introduction of pre-stressing, the adhesive will ooze out
beyond the joints, and at the same time, will be pushed inside the sheath, it is advisable to
leave an uncoated area of 10 to 20 mm around the sheath. Satisfactory results can be
obtained also by covering the sheath holes by means of gum tape, etc.
1720.6
Curing
For at least 24 hours after bonding, the jointed section should be protected against rainwater
or excessive impact.

temperature recording devices per casting machine will be required for checking temperature.
6.
The steam curing shall include a gradual cooling period during which the rate of
decrease in temperature shall not exceed 200C per hour. The steam curing cycle shall include
190
the gradual cooling period until the temperature inside the enclosure is within + 100C of he
outside ambient temperature.

Curing of precast concrete (except match cast surfaces) after termination of the
requirement of Section 1713.3 . This membrane shall be applied to all exposed surfaces
including segment exterior (once exposed by removal from the form).
2311.6
Finishing Concrete
All surfaces of segments and precast components except the roadway surface of
superstructure segments shall meet the finish requirements as defined in Section 2035.4.7.
Minor breakage, spalling, or honey comb (not over 25 mm deep) shall be repaired by a
method approved by the Engineer. Major breakage or honeycomb will be subject to review by
the Engineer. These areas may be repaired by a method approved by the Engineer if he
determined that the structural or other functions of the segment will not impaired. For cast-inplace construction, breakage, spalling or honey comb on any mating surface of an in-place
segment otherwise found acceptable, shall be repaired prior to casting the next segment. For
precast segments, no surface finishing or repairs shall be performed on the matching joints
surface until after final erection of the segment.
1.
As soon as the concrete has been placed and vibrated in a section of sufficient width to permit
working, the surface shall be approximately leveled, struck off and screeded such that a slight
excess of concrete is carried ahead of the screed to insure filling of all low spots. The screed
shall be designed rigid to hold true to shape. A hydraulically driven, bare steel tube : rotating
in the opposite direction of travel may be used if heavy enough to prevent undue distortion.
The longitudinal screed shall be removed back and forth across the concrete while one end
rests on the upper surface of the form (bulkhead) and the other end on the match-cast
segment. The surface of the concrete shall be screeded a sufficient number of items, and at
such intervals to produce a uniform surface, true to grade and free of voids. The screeded
surface shall be worked to a smooth finish with a long handled wood or metal float of the
proper size, or hand floated from bridges over the top slab.
After the water sheen has disappeared from the surface of the top slab surface is being
overworked all hand finishing will be stopped. Only minimal amounts of water will be allowed
to aid in the finishing process when evaporation rates effect the quality of the finish. A fog
spray shall be used to help retard surface evaporation, but shall not change the water-cement
ration at the deck surface. During periods of excessive drying, a cover of wet burlap or plastic
191
sheeting will be maintained on the slab at all items until final cure cover is placed.
Monomolecular film coatings applied to the surface of the slab to retain moisture may be used,
provided they effectively retard surface evaporation and are adequately maintained throughout
the finishing operation.
The bridge deck and approach slabs shall be subjected to smoothness tests using the Rainhart
Profilograph and a profile Index Value determined in accordance with test method entitled
Determining Profile Index Value using the Rainhart Profilograph. Profiles will be obtained by
the Engineer to within 2 m of the barrier or crb line. The profile index shall not exceed 12 for
each wheel path and individual bumps or depression shall not exceed 3 mm from the 5 mm
blanking band. In addition, the surface shall meet a 5 mm in a 3 m straight edge made
transversely across the deck.
When no other surface treatment is intended deck and approach slabs not meeting the above
requirements shall be corrected at the Contractors expense. The Contractor shall provide the
Engineer a written plan of corrective action for approval before implementation. Approval of
the corrective plan will in no way relieve the Contractor of responsibility for meeting rideability
requirements.
maintained. After corrective action, all decks and approach slabs will be subject to retesting
with profilograph to insure compliance with specifications.
Expansion joint installation shall be delayed and the joint temporarily bridged to facilitate
operation of the profilograph and corrective equipment across the joint wherever feasible.
It shall be the Contractors responsibility to schedule profilograph testing. Requests for testing
shall be made at least five days prior to need. The Contractor shall insure that the area to be
tested has been cleaned and cleared of all obstructions.
2311.7
2311.7.1 General
It is the intent of the Contract that the Contractor shall provide precast segments that are east
and placed into the structure with zero defects.
Care shall be exercised in the handling of segments to prevent damage to them. Handling shall
be done only by using the devices shown on the approved shop drawings for this purpose.
Lifting devices incorporated into any segment shall be adequate to distribute the handling and
erection stresses so as not to damage the segment.
The Contract shall inspect each segment visually for evidence of damage or defect before,
during and after critical operations and as often as necessary to necessary to ensure adequate
192
quality control. The Contractor shall immediately bring all such evidence of damage or defect
to the attention of the Engineer, The extent and frequency of inspection by the Engineer for
quality assurance is the Engineers prerpgative. Segments may be inspected at any time during
construction as deemed necessary by the Engineer to monitor compliance with this
specification.
Superstructure segments shall be stored level in the deck upright position and shall be firmly
during on a bearing system under the webs at the locations shown on the shop drawings.
Unless otherwise noted on the plans. The storage area of the segments shall be suitable
stability to prevent differential settlement of the segment supports which results in an unstable
storage.
The Contractor may request to vertically stack segments in the deck upright position provided
he submits complete details of his staking procedure and calculations substantiating that the
segments will not be damaged or distressed by such stacking. The submittal shall be signed
and sealed by the Contractors Engineer. In no case will stacking the permitted more than two
high in a system which induces forces in the lower segments. Any evidence of damage or
distress, as determined by the Engineer, resulting form stacking of segments shall be cause for
immediate discontinuance of this practice.
Prior to shipment, each segment shall be inspected for damage. The faces of all match cast
joints shall be thoroughly cleaned of laitance, bond breaking compound and any other foreign
material by wire brushing or light sandblasting. During transport, firm support at the bearing
locations noted above for support during storage shall be provided and the segments shall be
fully secured shifting. Upon arrival from stacking site, each segment shall again the inspected.
If any damage has occurred during shipment, the Contractor shall immediately notify the
Engineer. Erection of such damaged segments into the structure shall not proceed without
authorization from the Engineer.
Damaged or Defective Segments
Isolated defects or damage which occur randomly and infrequently, as determined by the
Engineer.
Recurring defects are defects or damages of the same general type ad nature, which continue
to be found in the same general location of the segment at an unacceptable frequency, as
determine by the Engineer.
As a minimum, the five segments cast and the first five segments erected will be jointly
inspected by the Engineer, the Contractor and the Contractors Engineer after casting, after
moving to storage from the casting machine, and before and after erection. All segment
defects shall be identified and categorized during this inspection. The Contractor and
193
Contractors Engineer shall examine the defects and propose to the Engineer in Writing.
a.
The measures that the contractor shall take to prevent recurring defects in future
segments.
b.
required herein.
If recurring defects continue following implementation of the Contractors preventative
measure or as detected at any time during the construction, the Engineer will instruct the
Contractor, in writing to cease operations producing such defective segments. The Contractor
and Contractors Engineer shall examine the defects the propose to the Engineer in writing (1)
the measures the Contractor shall take to recurring defects in future segments, and (2) the
method of repair of all defects discovered as a result of the inspection as required herein.
The Engineer will determine what constitutes damage or defect, whether the damage of defect
is isolated or recurring, and will categorize the damage defects. Three categories of defects are
recognized by the Engineer for this purpose.
a.
Cosmetic: Cosmetic defects or damages are those which do not affect the ability of
the segment to resist construction or service loads or reduce the life expectancy of the
structure. This category of defect includes a superficial discontinuity such as cracks, small
spalls or honeycombed areas or elements of the post-tensioning system.
Cosmetic defects of other types and causes may also be designated by the Engineer.
Repair of cosmetic defects all be made in such a manner that the aesthetics and the structural
integrity of the segments is restored.
b.
Structural: This category of defect shall include any defect which will impair the
ability of the segment to adequately resist construction or service loads or reduce the life
expectancy of the structure. Any defect or damage which extends beyond the centerline of any
reinforcing steel or into any element of the poet-tensioning system or occurs in the deck
portion of the segment is considered a structural defect.
Examples of such defects include, large spalls and honeycombed areas, major segregation or
breakage of concrete however, structural defects of other types and causes may be designated
by the Engineer.
The Contractors Engineer shall be responsible for construction load analysis, service load
analyses and life expectancy determinations.
Repair of structural defects shall be such that the aesthetics and structural integrity of the
segment shall be completely restored to a condition to be expected had the defect or damage
not occurred.
194
c.
Rejectable:
Engineer, which will impair the ability of the segment to adequately resist service loads or
construction loads, or will reduce the life expectancy of the structure and which cannot be
successfully repaired such that the structural integrity is completely restored. Any segment
with a rejectable defect will be deemed unacceptable and shall be removed from the work and
replaced at no additional cost.
Damaged or defective segments may also be rejected by the Engineer for the following
reasons:

Repairs
Cosmetic repairs shall only be made following procedures prepared by the Contractor,
submitted in writing to and approved by the Engineer. The Contractors repair procedure shall
identify those areas required to be prior to post-tensioning and those that must be repaired
aster post-tensioning.
Structural repairs shall be made following procedures prepared by the Contractor. The repair
procedure shall be signed and sealed by the Contractors Engineer, shall be submitted in
writing to the Engineer, and shall include the following minimum information.
1.
2.
The magnitude and type of the most critical construction loading and service life
condition to which the defective area will be subjected.
195
3.
4.
The specific nondestructive testing method and procedure by which the Contractor
shall demonstrate to Engineer that the defect no longer exists and the segments has
been restored to a condition to be expected had the defect or damage not occurred.
In lieu of physical demonstration, on a case-by-case basis, the Engineer may allow the
Contractor to substitute a written certification by the Contractors Engineer that repair has
been performed satisfactory and that the defect no longer exists.
This work shall not be basis for any request for extension of time or additional compensation.
2311.9
Repairs to the shear keys along the webs shall be made after the segments have been
erected. When 20 percent or more of the shear keys in a web have been damaged such that
the they cannot effectively transfer the shear across the joint, as determined by the Engineer,
then the damaged shear keys shall be repaired after the segments have been erected and
initially stressed together with no more than 10 percent of the final prestressing force applied
across the joint. After the repair has been completed and obtained a minimum characteristics
compressive strength of 32 Mpa, the final prestressing force mayo be applied across the joint.
2311.10
Erection
2311.10.1 General
An erection scheme for handling and erecting segments, is shown in the plans. The erection
scheme is a concept only, consistent with the over all bridge design. It is presented to aid the
contractor in developing his method of construction which is also to
overall bridge design. The Contractor shall be solely responsible for design, fabrication,
assembly and operation of all equipment to be used for handling and erecting segments.
Erection of segments shall not begin until the required shop drawings calculations have been
reviewed and approved by the Engineer. No extra payment will be made to the Contractor for

Contractor for any cost incurred in modifying the permanent structure due to temporary
loading induced by the Contractors handling and erection equipment or his erection scheme.
Elevations and alignment of segments shall be carefully measured at each stage of erection
with instruments capable of providing the degree of accuracy necessary to assure that erection
tolerances will be met. Any deviation from the table of elevations and alignment prepared by
the Contractor shall be corrected so as to prevent accumulation of deviation using a method
submitted by the Contractor and approved by the Engineer.
197
2311.10.2
Precast segments shall not be erected until they have reached the age of 14 days and have
obtained the minimum specified strength in the plans.
Erection of segments will be permitted only when the substrate temperatures of the mating
surfaces are between 50C and 40oC. Up on approval of the Engineer, an artificial environment
may be provided to maintain the substrate temperature within the permissible limits by
creating an enclosure heated by circulating warm air or by radiant heaters. Localized heating
shall be avoided and the heat shall be avoided and the heat shall be provided in a manner that
prevents surface temperatures greater than 350C during the epoxy hardening period. Direct
flame heating of concrete will not be permitted.
