PART 3 EXECUTION
3.01 EXCAVATION
Unclassified Excavation: All excess or unsuitable excavated materials, including rock and
boulders, that cannot be used in backfill and embankments, shall be placed in designated
disposal areas or disposed of off site. Where shown on drawings or considered necessary,
construct intercepting ditches above top of cut slopes and carry to outlets near ends of cuts. To
blend intersection of cut slopes with slope of adjacent natural ground surfaces in uniform
manner, shape tops of all cut slopes, except those in solid rock, for flattening and rounding in
accordance with details shown on drawings. Treat earth overburden above solid rock cuts in
same manner as earth cut. Engineer reserves the right to change cut slopes during progress of
excavation. Scale all exposed rippable rock cuts of loose, potentially falling rock at Contractor's
expense.
3.02 PROOF ROLLING
Proof rolling will be required to determine whether certain areas of subgrade meet compaction
requirements. Proof roll designated areas with heavy rubber-tired roller approved by Engineer.
Areas found to be weak or fail the test shall be repaired in accordance with recommendations by

as specified before next layer is placed. Use effective spreading equipment on each lift
to obtain uniform thickness prior to compacting. As compaction of each layer progresses,
EARTHWORK 02300 – 2
Alpine Engineering, Inc Edwards, CO
STRATA VAIL 100% CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS
VAIL, COLORADO DECEMBER 20, 2013
continuously level and manipulate to assure uniform density. Add or remove water as
necessary to obtain maximum density. When directed by
Engineer, remove excess moisture in bridging across streams, ponds, and swampy
ground. Place embankment in layers not greater than 18" which have been
demonstrated to meet compaction standards.
B. When embankment is to be placed and compacted on hillsides, or when new
embankment is to be compacted against existing embankments, or when embankment is
built one-half width at a time, slopes which are steeper than 4:1 measured longitudinally
or at right angles to roadway shall be continuously benched over as work is brought up in
layers. Benching shall be well keyed into existing slopes a minimum of 8' wide. Begin
each horizontal bench at intersection of original ground and sides of previous benches.
Material benched shall be excavated and recompacted along with new embankment
material at Contractor's expense.
C. Rock fill embankment material consists predominantly of rock 6" to 12” in diameter placed
in loose lifts up to average rock dimension. Placing of occasional boulders of sizes larger
than maximum layer thickness may be agreed to by Engineer provided material is
carefully placed, large stones well distributed, and voids completely filled with smaller
stones, earth, sand, or gravel. Level and smooth each layer with suitable equipment,
distributing soils and finer fragments of earth. Wet each loose layer as necessary to
facilitate compaction prior to placing additional lifts. Embankments consisting
predominantly of rock larger than 8" in greatest dimension, shall not be constructed
above an elevation 2' below finished subgrade. Balance of embankment shall be
composed of suitable material smoothed and placed in layers not exceeding 8" in loose
thickness and compacted as specified.
D. Remove all sod and vegetable matter from surface upon which embankment is to be
placed. Completely break up cleared surface by plowing, scarifying, or stepping a
minimum of 6" to insure a bond between embankment and original ground. Recompact
to specifications.
E. Frozen materials shall not be used in construction of embankments.
F. During construction maintain area in such condition that it will be well drained at all times.
G. At the end of every construction day all fill areas must be flat rolled to provide proper
drainage.
3.05 BORROW
Provide test pit if required by Engineer to evaluate acceptability and limits of source at
Contractor's expense.
If more borrow is placed than required, amount of overrun will be deducted from borrow volume.
Contractor shall notify Engineer at least 10 working days in advance of need before opening
borrow area.
Strip all borrow pits of sod, topsoil, and unsuitable materials. Restore borrow area, grade and
shape to provide proper drainage before placement of topsoil, to the satisfaction of the Engineer.

and density control, place in loose lifts up to average rock dimension not exceeding 2'.
Apply water as necessary to facilitate compaction. Route construction equipment,
compactors, or both, uniformly over each lift prior to placing additional lifts. Apply
sufficient compactive effort to each lift to achieve uniform, well-compacted rock fill.
Distribute rocks throughout layer, spaced far enough apart to allow compaction
equipment to pass between and permit cross rolling. Place, move and compact
embankment materials, and apply water to facilitate compaction and prevent voids in
embankment. Number of passes required will depend on available compaction
equipment to achieve compactive effort agreed to by Engineer.

PART 3 EXECUTION
3.01 FILTER FABRIC
Place fabric over shaped surface loosely where, when large stones are placed, they will not
cause stretching of fabric beyond elastic limits. Overlap joining sections 2' at edges. Secure
overlapped edges to subgrade with cinch pins. If riprap is dropped, place aggregate bedding 2"
thick over fabric. Place riprap in a manner that fabric will not be damaged by stretching,
punching, or ripping.
3.02 RIPRAP
A. Angular reasonably well-graded from smallest to maximum size specified. Stones smaller
than 10% of smallest size not permitted. Control gradation of riprap by visual inspection to
assure thickness of riprap conforms with drawings.
B. Hand Placed: Rectangular to facilitate butt placement. Fill openings with loose, well-
graded road aggregate base material.
3.03 FILTER MATERIAL
Wet subgrade, reasonably shape, and compact prior to placing filter material. Filter material may
be backdragged with loader bucket to a reasonably smooth surface for placement to lines and
grades of drawings.
3.04 SILT SACK
Install silt sack in accordance with drawings.
3.05 EROSION LOGS (WATTLES)
Sediment Log consists of an outside, open weave, containment fabric filled with Aspen curled
excelsior fibers. Its purpose is to provide a flexible, lightweight, porous, sediment control
device demonstrating the ability to conform to terrain details and dissipate water velocity in
concentrated flow areas. Straw Wattles can be installed on contour of slope, with a slight
downslope angle at the end of each row to allow for slow drainage during heavy precipitation.
They can also be used at the top of slopes to prevent sheeting over the edge, and they can
be used at the toe of slopes. Straw Wattles can also be used along sidewalks and curbs and
around storm drains and inlets to prevent sediment pollution. They can also be placed in
drainage swales to slow flows and capture sediment: they can be used as level spreaders to
prevent concentrated flow, and in place of earthen berms or dikes. The height of a Straw
Wattle is 9 in., the installed height is approximately 5 -7 inches. Straw Wattles should be
installed in shallow trenches, 2 - 4 in. deep, depending on soil type and slope steepness. Dig
the deeper trench for soft, loamy soils and steepest slopes: dig the shallower trench for hard,
rocky soils and gentler slopes. Use shovel to dig the trench, throwing excavated soil to the up
hill side to prevent run off from undercutting the Wattle. Lay the Wattle in the trench and
stake with wood stakes at each end and 4-foot on center. When installing running lengths,
Straw Wattle ends should be buttoned firmly together to prevent leakage, and securely
staked together. DO NOT OVERLAP.

2.06 BEDDING
Two types of bedding material are allowed: Screened rock and soil or select imported
material, meeting the following gradation specification table:
Sieve Size Total Percent Passing by Weight
Screened Rock Soil or Select Import
1 ½ inch maximum,
and maximum of
10% of pipe diameter
to ½ inch
100 100
No. 4 0 to 10 30 to 100
No. 200 0 to 5 0 to 50
Minimum
Compaction
Requirement
Tamp to spring line
to fill voids below
pipe haunches
90% of Standard Proctor
placed at +/- 3% of
Optimum Moisture
The maximum particle size of pipe bedding should generally not exceed 1½ inches or 10
percent of the nominal pipe diameter, whichever is less. Bedding for small pipe such as
service lines should generally have a maximum particle size not exceeding ¾ inch. Bedding
materials shall be free of topsoil, organic material, frozen matter, debris, or other deleterious
material.
Screened rock used for waterline or sewer pipe bedding should be crushed, angular material
that meets the requirements of ASTM D 2321, Class IA bedding material. The material should
have not more than 10 percent passing the No. 4 (4.75 millimeter) screen, and less than 5
percent passing the No. 200 (75 micrometer) screen. The bedding should be tamped under
WATER DISTRIBUTION 02510 - 7
Alpine Engineering, Inc Edwards, CO
STRATA VAIL 100% CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS
VAIL, COLORADO MARCH 31, 2014
the haunches of the pipe to spring line. Where future excavation is anticipated, the sloughing
properties of screened rock when unconfined should be taken into consideration. The District
may require soil or select import. Where groundwater may be present, the potential effects of
groundwater interception by the bedding material should be considered. Groundwater
interception may be controlled by: constructing check dams with low permeable material at
intervals in the bedding; providing drainage to daylight at intervals along the pipe; substituting
low permeable bedding; or a combination of these.
Compacted pipe bedding should meet the requirements of ASTM D 2321, Class IB, Class II,
or Class III bedding material. The material should have a minimum of 30 percent passing the
No. 4 screen and less than 50 percent passing the No. 200 screen. Class 6 aggregate base
course per CDOT Table 703.2 conforms to this gradation criteria. The bedding should be
compacted to a minimum of 90 percent at +/- 3 percent of optimum moisture content,
referencing Standard Proctor (ASTM D698, AASHTO T99). Material containing 10 to 30
percent passing the No. 4 screen can be used with the following considerations: materials in
this range can be expected to possess properties similar to screened rock except that
compaction will be required and materials in this range may be too free-draining to be
testable for compaction by ASTM D698.
Flow-fill, a ½ sack (50 pounds) per cubic yard lean concrete mix as defined in the CDOT
1999 Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction, Section 206.02, may be
used as bedding where a combination of ease of placement, low permeability, and
unconfined stability is desired.
Additional Requirements:
-Bedding materials shall be free of topsoil, organic materials, frozen matter, debris, or other
deleterious materials.
-Flow-fill as specified by CDOT 1999 Standard Specifications, Section 206.02, may be used
with District approval.
-Ductile Iron Pipe may be required to be encased in loose polyethylene in conformance with
ANSI/AWWA C105/A21.5 installation methods, unless site soils and proposed bedding
materials are determined to be non-corrosive to iron pipe when evaluated according to
Appendix A of ANSI/AWWA C105/A21.5.
-Materials not meeting these requirements shall be used only with prior written approval of the
District.
In specific areas, such as where access is extremely limited, the use of on-site materials may
be allowed, and, when used, must be on-site 1½ inches minus well-graded screened
material, free from organic materials, chunks of soil, frozen material, debris, or other suitable
materials. Use of on-site bedding material must have prior written District approval.
2.07 TRENCH BACKFILL
Backfill with same materials excavated from work limits unless unsuitable. No boulders over six
inches (6") in diameter in top twelve inches (12") of trench. No backfill material with boulders
larger than twelve inches (12”) eighteen inches (18") in diameter shall be backfilled in the
trench.

pressure tests until 48 hours after placement of concrete thrust blocks. After pipe
has been partially backfilled, slowly let water into line. Vent to allow air in line to
be released. Flush line as necessary for cleaning. Leave water in line for 24
hours prior to pressure test. Test at 1-1/2 times working pressure, calculated for
low point of test section, or 150 psi, whichever is greater. Valve off pump and
hold pressure in line for test. Test for two hours or as agreed to by Engineer. At
end of test, operate pump until test pressure is again attained. Calibrate
container of water for pump suction to determine amount of water to replace
leakage.

The maximum particle size of pipe bedding should generally not exceed 1½ inches or 10
percent of the nominal pipe diameter, whichever is less. Bedding for small pipe such as
service lines should generally have a maximum particle size not exceeding ¾ inch. Bedding
materials shall be free of topsoil, organic material, frozen matter, debris, or other deleterious
material.
Screened rock used for waterline or sewer pipe bedding should be crushed, angular material
that meets the requirements of ASTM D 2321, Class IA bedding material. The material should
have not more than 10 percent passing the No. 4 (4.75 millimeter) screen, and less than 5
percent passing the No. 200 (75 micrometer) screen. The bedding should be tamped under
the haunches of the pipe to spring line. Where future excavation is anticipated, the sloughing
properties of screened rock when unconfined should be taken into consideration. The District
may require soil or select import. Where groundwater may be present, the potential effects of
groundwater interception by the bedding material should be considered. Groundwater
interception may be controlled by: constructing check dams with low permeable material at
intervals in the bedding; providing drainage to daylight at intervals along the pipe; substituting
low permeable bedding; or a combination of these.
Compacted pipe bedding should meet the requirements of ASTM D 2321, Class IB, Class II,
or Class III bedding material. The material should have a minimum of 30 percent passing the
No. 4 screen and less than 50 percent passing the No. 200 screen. Class 6 aggregate base
course per CDOT Table 703.2 conforms to this gradation criteria. The bedding should be
compacted to a minimum of 90 percent at +/- 3 percent of optimum moisture content,
referencing Standard Proctor (ASTM D698, AASHTO T99). Material containing 10 to 30
percent passing the No. 4 screen can be used with the following considerations: materials in
this range can be expected to possess properties similar to screened rock except that
compaction will be required and materials in this range may be too free-draining to be
testable for compaction by ASTM D698.
Flow-fill, a ½ sack (50 pounds) per cubic yard lean concrete mix as defined in the CDOT
1999 Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction, Section 206.02, may be
used as bedding where a combination of ease of placement, low permeability, and
unconfined stability is desired.
Additional Requirements:
-Bedding materials shall be free of topsoil, organic materials, frozen matter, debris, or other
deleterious materials.
-Flow-fill as specified by CDOT 1999 Standard Specifications, Section 206.02, may be used
with District approval.
-Ductile Iron Pipe may be required to be encased in loose polyethylene in conformance with
ANSI/AWWA C105/A21.5 installation methods, unless site soils and proposed bedding
materials are determined to be non-corrosive to iron pipe when evaluated according to
Appendix A of ANSI/AWWA C105/A21.5.
-Materials not meeting these requirements shall be used only with prior written approval of the
District.
In specific areas, such as where access is extremely limited, the use of on-site materials may
be allowed, and, when used, must be on-site 1½ inches minus well-graded screened
material, free from organic materials, chunks of soil, frozen material, debris, or other suitable
materials. Use of on-site bedding material must have prior written District approval.

hole in main, sized to fit saddle for service line. Each wye or drilled tap and saddle shall be
inspected prior to backfilling. Service line minimum grade of
1/4" per foot. If service line is to be stopped at property line, place 6-foot steel fence post at end,
extending 2' above finished ground. Place watertight plug in end of service line.
3.10 CONCRETE WORK
A. Placement: Place to required depth and width conforming to drawings. Place concrete
as uniformly as possible in order to minimize amount of additional spreading. Place and
consolidate with suitable tools to avoid formations of voids, honeycomb, or pockets. Well
vibrated and tamped against forms.
B. Retempering: Do not retemper concrete or mortar which has partially hardened by
remixing with or without additional cement, aggregate or water. Provide concrete in such
quantity as is required for immediate use.
C. Curing: Protect against loss of moisture, rapid temperature change, rain, and flowing
water, for not less than two days from placement of concrete. Immediately after finishing,
cover concrete surface with curing medium which is applicable to local conditions as
approved by Engineer. Protect exposed edge of concrete slabs exposed by removing
forms immediately to provide these surfaces with continuous curing treatment.
3.11 BACKFILL

width. Place in lifts to a density of 90% AASHTO T99.
B. Remainder of Trench: Backfill with same materials excavated from work limits unless
unsuitable. No rocks over 6" in diameter in top 12" of trench. No backfill material with
rocks larger than 12" in diameter. Carefully lower rocks up to 12" in diameter into trench.
3.12 COMPACTION
A. Demonstrate method of compaction. Engineer will test compacted demonstration section
for uniform density throughout depth of each lift. Alter construction methods until
providing one acceptable to Engineer. Continue same procedure until significant change
in soils occurs, or compaction is not being achieved, then demonstrate new method.
B. Compaction requirements for all trenches:
1. Predominantly of cohesive soils where AASHTO T99 procedures are applicable:
Compacted uniformly throughout each lift to 100% AASHTO T99. Moisture
content shall be within 2% of optimum. For clay soils the moisture content shall
be 0 to +2% of optimum moisture.
2. Predominately of rock 12" in diameter: Place in loose lifts up to average rock
dimension. Placing of occasional boulders of sizes larger than maximum layer
thickness may be agreed to by Engineer, provided material is carefully placed and
large stones well distributed with voids completely filled with smaller stones, earth,
sand, or gravel. Level and smooth each layer to distribute soils and finer
fragments of earth. Wet each loose layer as necessary to facilitate compaction
prior to placing additional lifts.
3. Trenches in landscape areas: Compact to 95% AASHTO T99. Moisture content
shall be within 2% of optimum.
3.13 PAVEMENT REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT
Score existing surface with cutting wheel to create clean break line. Remove and dispose of
existing surface and aggregate base course leave 6" undisturbed subgrade lip on each side of
trench. After trench has been backfilled and properly compacted, place aggregate base course
in accordance with permit requirements, or minimum thickness in these specifications. Compact
aggregate base course to 95% AASHTO T180. Replace pavement in accordance with permit
requirements or minimum thickness in these specifications. Compact asphalt to 95% ASTM
D1559; consolidate concrete with vibrators.
3.14 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL
A. Notify Engineer at least 24 hours in advance of pipe being laid in any trench. Cover no
pipes until observed by Engineer. Notify Engineer at least 48 hours before pipe is to be
tested.
B. Testing
1. General: Conduct infiltration or exfiltration test for each section between
manholes. Test first section of pipe laid to verify if watertight. Testing may be
required during course of work where infiltration appears to be grater than
maximum allowable, or quality of work is questionable. No sewer line will be
accepted where water tightness tests show leakage exceeding 200 gallons per
inch diameter per mile per day. Flush and clean sewer line prior to testing,
wetting pipe, and cleaning out debris. Plug all pipe outlets to resist test pressure.
SANITARY SEWERAGE 02530 - 8
Alpine Engineering, Inc. Edwards, CO
STRATA VAIL 100% CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS
VAIL, COLORADO MARCH 31, 2014
2. Infiltration Test: In high ground water table installation only. Plug upper manhole
to determine leakage in section of line between consecutive manholes. Record
quantity of water collected in time period to calculate infiltration rate.
3. Exfiltration Test by Air: Test each section of pipe between consecutive manholes
to determine test duration for section by computation from Air Test Tables.
Pressure-holding time is based on an average holding pressure of 3 psi gauge or
a drop from 3.5 psi to 2.5 psi gauge. Add air until internal air pressure of sewer
line is raised to approximately 4.0 psi gauge. After internal pressure of
approximately 4.0 psi is obtained, allow time for air pressure to stabilize.
Pressure will normally show some drop until temperature of air in test section
stabilizes. When pressure has stabilized and is at or above starting test pressure
of 3.5 psi gauge, commence test. Before starting test, pressure may be allowed
to drop to 3.5 psi. Record drop in pressure for test period. If pressure has
dropped more than 1.0 psi gauge during test line has failed. Test may be
discontinued when prescribed test time has been completed even though 1.0 psi
drop has not occurred. ASTM C828 "Low Pressure Air Test for Sanitary Sewers".

PART 3 EXECUTION
3.01 PREPARATION OF SURFACES
A. Base Course: Blade, shape, and smooth aggregate base course to uniform section.
Remove loose materials. Clean the surface to be paved by mechanical sweepers,
blowers, or hand brooms, until surface is free from dust.
B. Existing Surfaces: Clean of all foreign materials. Fill holes and low places with levelling
courses and compact prior to surface placement. Tack coat existing surfacing at 0.1
gallon per square yard. Apply only to areas on which surfacing is to be placed
immediately. Do not extend more than 2000' ahead of paving equipment. Prevent traffic
from travelling on tack coat.
3.02 FRAME ADJUSTMENTS
Set frames of structures to final grade. Place compacted asphaltic concrete to top of frame. If
permanent covers are not in place, provide temporary covers over openings until compaction is
complete. Where frames and covers are paved over, mark so crews can find on emergency
basis until cut out and adjusted to final surfacing.
3.03 SPREADING AND FINISHING
A. Place at temperatures of not less than 275 degrees F, or more than 350 degrees F. If
temperature is below 50 degrees F and falling, asphaltic concrete mix shall not be less
than 300 degrees F, while on trucks just prior to laydown. Mechanical, self-powered
pavers shall be capable of spreading mix within specified tolerances, true to line, grade,
and crown as indicated on drawings. Road grader equipped with automatic blade control
may be used for levelling courses. Pavers shall be equipped with hoppers and
distribution screws which place mix evenly in front of adjustable screeds. Screed shall be
adjustable for height and crown, equipped with controlled heating device for use as
required. Screed shall strike off mix without tearing, shaving or gouging surface, to depth
and cross-section specified, without aid of manual adjustment during operation. Paver
shall be capable of placing courses in thicknesses from 1/2" to 4" and from widths of 8' to
15'. Extensions and cut-off shall permit changes in widths by increments of 6".
B. Strike finish surface smooth; true to cross section; uniform in density and texture; free
from hollows, transverse corrugations, and other irregularities. Paint contact surfaces
between gutters, manhole rings, catch basins, and other similar structures with thin,
uniform coating of tack coat. Final surface shall be 1/4" above all structures and gutters
sloping away from paving, flush with gutters sloping towards paving.
C. Hand Placement: Where certain areas because of irregularity, inaccessibility, or
unavoidable obstacles, do not lend themselves to machine placement, Engineer may
agree to hand placement. Spread and compact to same finish and compaction
tolerances of these specifications.
D. Joints: Make joints between old and new pavement, or between successive day's work,
to insure thorough bond between old and new surfaces. Clean surfaces free of sand, dirt,
dust, or other materials, and apply tack coat. Construction joints must have same texture,
density, and smoothness tolerances as other surfacing.

VAIL, COLORADO DECEMBER 20, 2013
1. Construct transverse joints to existing material by cutting material back to expose
full depth edge. Paint thin uniform tack coat on joint and place new asphaltic
concrete.
2. Prepare longitudinal joints by overlapping screed 1" on existing surface. Deposit
sufficient material to complete joint. Push excess by hand rake 1/2" on new mat
leaving vertical uncompacted face approximately 1" high. Compact against joint
by rolling equipment. No depression allowed exceeding 1/8" for width of 6", after
final compaction.
E. Finish Tolerance: Place levelling courses within 1/2" of design grade. Finished surfaces
will be tested with 10' straight edge, parallel to center line at location of wheel paths for
each lane. Straight edge will be advanced 5' and space under straight edge shall not
exceed 1/4". Correct areas deficient in smoothness by completely removing surface
material and replacing. Overlay corrections may be made only if approved by Owner.
F. Thickness Tolerance: Compacted thickness shall be no less than that shown on
drawings. Any surfacing which does not meet minimum thickness shall be removed and
replaced.
3.04 COMPACTION
A. General: Provide one pneumatic-tired and one steel-wheel roller to obtain required
density, surface texture, and rideability. Begin rolling operations immediately following
placement of asphaltic concrete. Do not permit heavy equipment, rollers, etc. to stand on
finished surface where deformation may occur. End each pass of roller in different place.
B. Rollers
1. Steel-wheel rollers self-propelled, developing contact pressure under
compression wheels of 250 to 350 psi per inch of width of roller wheel. Rollers
equipped with adjustable scrapers and means for keeping wheel wet to prevent
mix from sticking.
2. Pneumatic-tired rollers self-propelled, developing contact pressure under each
tire of 85 to 110 psi. Wheels so spaced that one pass will accomplish one
complete coverage equal to rolling width of machine. Wheels oscillate but not
wobble. Remove and replace immediately any tires picking up fines.
C. Compaction Procedures
1. Compact longitudinal joints and edges first, starting at outside edge and gradually
progress towards center of pavement. Begin superelevated curves rolling on low
side on previously transversely compacted material. Successive passes should
overlap by one half width of roller. Mat temperature must not be below 185
degrees F.
2. Immediately follow rolling of longitudinal joint and edges with breakdown rolling.
Place drive wheel nearest paver and pull roller towards paver. Return roller to
existing surface and make gradual shift to overlap previous pass by half roller
width. Operate pneumatic-tired rollers as close to paver as necessary to obtain
density required. Make enough passes for reasonably smooth surface.
3. Final rolling by a combination of steel and pneumatic rollers to obtain density,
surface texture, and surface tolerances required.

Greater than 72 40 20
3.2.2 Protection temperature - Unless otherwise specified, the minimum temperature of concrete
during the protection period shall be as shown in Column 2 of Table 3.2.1. Temperatures specified
to be maintained during the protection period shall be those measured at the concrete surface,
whether the surface is in contact with formwork, insulation, or air. Measure the temperature with a
surface temperature measuring device having an accuracy of +/-2 F. Measure and record the
temperature of concrete in each placement at regular time intervals at a frequency not less than
twice per 24-hr period.
3.2.3 Termination of protection - The maximum decrease in temperature measured at the surface of
the concrete in a 24-hour period shall not exceed the values shown in Column 3 of Table 3.2.1. Do
not exceed these limits until the surface temperature of the concrete is within 20 F of the ambient or
surrounding temperatures. When the surface temperature of the concrete is within 20 F of the
ambient or surrounding temperature, all protection may be removed.
3.3 - Curing of concrete
Prevent concrete from drying during the required curing period. If water curing is used, terminate use
at least 24 hr before any anticipated exposure of the concrete to freezing temperatures.
3.4 - Protection of concrete
3.4.1 Combustion heaters - Vent flue gases from combustion heating units to the outside of the
enclosure.
3.4.2 Overheating and drying - Place and direct
heaters and ducts to avoid areas of overheating or drying of the concrete surface.

concrete mixture is accepted:
• Type III portland cement meeting the requirements of ASTM C 150
• A strength accelerating admixture meeting the requirements of ASTM C 494
• 100 lb/yd³ of additional cement
During periods not defined as cold weather, but when freezing temperatures may occur, protect
concrete surfaces against freezing for the first 24 hr after placing. Any changes in the concrete mix
proportions for reducing the duration of the protection period to prevent early freezing should be
submitted for review or acceptance.
3.4.5 Protection deficiency - If the temperature requirements during the specified protection period
are not met but the concrete was prevented from freezing, continue protection until twice the
deficiency of protection in degree-hours is made up. Deficient degree hours may be determined by
multiplying the average deficiency in temperature by the number of hours the temperature was
below the values shown in Column 2 of Table 3.2.1.

1.3—Definitions
day—a period of 24 consecutive hours.
evaporation retardant—a material that generates a continuous thin film when spread over water on
the surface of fresh concrete and thus retards the evaporation of bleed water.
hot weather—job-site conditions that accelerate the rate of moisture loss or rate of cement hydration
of freshly mixed concrete, including an ambient temperature of 27 °C (80 °F) or higher, and an
evaporation rate that exceeds 1 kg/m2/h, or as revised by the Engineer.
hot weather concreting—operations concerning the preparation, production, delivery, placement,
finishing, protection, and curing of concrete during hot weather.
moist—slightly damp but not quite dry to the touch; “wet” implies visible free water, “damp” implies
less wetness than “wet,” and “moist” implies not quite dry.
protection period—the required time during which the concrete is protected against thermal cracking
due to rapid temperature drops.
temperature of fresh concrete—the temperature measured during the discharge and placement in
accordance with ASTM C 1064/C 1064M.
temperature of hardened concrete—the temperature measured at the concrete surface.
units—values stated in either U.S. Customary or SI units shall be regarded separately as standard.
Values stated in each system might not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system must be used
independently of the other, without combining values in any way.
1.4—Submittal of procedures
1.4.1 Before hot weather concreting and the preplacement conference, submit to Engineer for
review and comment detailed procedures, including production, placement, finishing, curing and
protection of concrete during hot weather concreting.
1.5—Preplacement conference

representatives of concerned parties not less than 10 days before the scheduled date of the
conference.
1.5.3 Preplacement conference shall include, but is not limited to, representation of Contractor,
Concrete Subcontractor, Testing Agency, Pumping Contractor, and Ready-Mixed Concrete
Producer.
1.5.4 Distribute the minutes of the preplacement conference to representatives of concerned parties
within 5 days after the preplacement conference.
1.6—Documents required on site

SECTION 2—PRODUCTS
2.1—General
2.1.1 Store all materials and equipment required for curing and protection at or near the project site
before hot weather concreting commences.

2.2—Concrete mixture proportions
2.2.1 Submit concrete mixture proportions to Engineer for review. Include specific materials,
manufacturer, and type for hot weather concreting. The submittal shall include concrete mixture
adjustment parameters and methods to be implemented during changes in weather conditions.
SECTION 3—EXECUTION
3.1—General
3.1.1 Do not place concrete against surfaces of absorbent materials that are dry. Do not place
concrete against surfaces that have free water.
3.1.2 Prepare all materials required for accepted evaporation control measures and have them
available on site so that specified measures can be executed as necessary.
3.1.3 Initiate accepted evaporation control measures when concrete and air temperatures, relative
humidity of the air, and the wind velocity have the capacity to evaporate water from a free water
surface at a rate that is equal to or greater than 1.0 kg/m2/h (0.2 lb/ft2/h), unless otherwise specified.
Determine the evaporation rate of surface moisture by use of the Menzel Formula:
W = 0.315(eo – ea)(0.253 + 0.060V) [SI units]
W = 0.44(eo – ea)(0.253 + 0.096V) [U.S. Customary units]
where W = mass of water evaporated in kg (lb) per m2 (ft2) of water-covered surface per hour;
eo = saturation water vapor pressure in kPa (psi) in the air immediately over the evaporating
surface, at the temperature of the evaporating surface. Obtain this value from Table 3.1(a) or (b).
The temperature of the evaporating surface shall be taken as the concrete temperature;
ea = water vapor pressure in kPa (psi) in the air surrounding the concrete. Multiply the saturation
vapor pressure at the temperature of the air surrounding the concrete by the relative humidity of the
air. Air temperature and relative humidity are to be measured at a level approximately 1.2 to 1.8 m (4
to 6 ft) above the evaporating surface on the windward side and shielded from the sun’s rays; and
V = average wind speed in km/h (mph), measured at 0.5 m (20 in.) above the evaporating surface.
3.1.3.1 Monitor site conditions (air temperature, humidity, wind speed) to assess the need for
evaporation control measures beginning no later than 1 hour before the start of concrete placing
operations. Continue to monitor site conditions at intervals of 30 minutes or less until specified
curing procedures have been applied.
3.1.3.2 For measuring the rate of evaporation of surface moisture, use equipment or instruments
that are certified by the manufacturer as accurate to within 1 °C (2 °F), 5% relative humidity, and 1.6
km/h (1 mph) wind speed. Use equipment in accordance with the product manufacturer
recommendations.

3.2—Maximum allowable concrete temperature
3.2.1 Limit the maximum allowable fresh concrete temperature to 35 °C (95 °F), unless otherwise
specified, or unless a higher allowable temperature is accepted by Engineer, based upon past field
experience or preconstruction testing using a concrete mixture similar to one known to have been
successfully used at a higher concrete temperature.
3.2.2 Measure the fresh concrete temperature at the point and time of discharge in accordance with
ASTM C 1064/C 1064M. Frequency of temperature determination shall be in accordance with ASTM
C 94/C 94M and at the option of the inspector.
3.3—Qualification of concrete mixture proportions
3.3.1 Approval of concrete mixture and proposed maximum allowable fresh concrete temperature,
supported by past field experience of Section 3.2.1, shall be based, on similar climate and
production conditions, materials, mixture proportions and temperatures, placing and finishing
methods, and concrete delivery time.
3.3.2 Approval of concrete mixture and proposed maximum allowable fresh concrete temperature,
supported by preconstruction testing of Section 3.2.1, shall require materials similar to those
proposed for use in the project.
3.3.3 Laboratory trial batch—Batch the laboratory concrete trial mixture within 2 °C (3 °F) of the
proposed maximum allowable concrete temperature and mix in accordance with ASTM C 192/C
192M, except as modified herein. If necessary, move the laboratory mixer into an enclosed, heated
and ventilated space, or use heated mixing water, or both, to achieve and maintain the proposed
HOT WEATHER CONCRETING 02754- 5

maximum allowable concrete temperature. For drum-type mixers, the concrete mixture shall remain
in the mixer for 47 minutes after completion of the 3-minute initial mixing period unless specified
otherwise. During the 50-minute period, cover the mixer opening with a non-absorbent material,
such as plastic, to prevent moisture loss, and rotate the mixer continuously at an agitation speed of
6 to 8 rpm. For laboratory mixers without speed adjustments, simulate agitation by rotating the mixer
continuously at a drum angle between 45 and 75 degrees from horizontal. At the end of 50 minutes,
mix the concrete mixture at full mixing speed designated by the manufacturer (8 to 20 rpm) for 2
minutes. For pan-type mixers, the concrete mixture shall remain in the mixer for 41 minutes after
completion of the initial 3-minute mixing period. During the 44-minute period, the mixer shall cycle
through periods of rest for 5 minutes, and then mixing for 1 minute. During the rest period, cover the
mixer opening with a non-absorbent material, such as plastic, to prevent moisture loss. At the end of
44 minutes, mix the concrete mixture at full mixing speed designated by the manufacturer (8 to 20
rpm) for 2 minutes. During mixing and agitation periods for both drum-type and pan-type mixers, the
addition of water, chemical admixture, or both, to adjust slump is permitted provided that the
specified concrete mixture w/cm is not exceeded. As needed, check and adjust the slump of the
concrete mixture during the middle 1/3 of the 50- or 44-minute laboratory trial mixing period.
3.3.3.1 The proposed concrete mixture shall meet the specified slump range at the end of the
laboratory mixing period and meet the required strength at the specified test age.
3.3.4 Field trial batch—Batch the field concrete trial mixture within 2 °C (3 °F) of the proposed
maximum allowable concrete temperature in a truck-mixer with a minimum batch size of 3 m3 (4
yd3). If necessary, move the truck mixer into an enclosed, heated, and ventilated space to achieve a
concrete temperature within the specified tolerance of the proposed maximum allowable concrete
temperature. The concrete mixture shall be held in the mixer for 90 minutes, unless otherwise
specified by the Engineer. During the entire 90-minute period, agitate the mixer at 1 to 6 rpm. At the
end of 90 minutes, mix the concrete mixture at full mixing speed designated by the manufacturer (6
to 18 rpm) for 2 minutes. During mixing and agitation periods, the addition of water, chemical
admixture, or both, to adjust slump is permitted provided that the specified concrete mixture w/cm is
not exceeded. As needed, check and adjust the slump of the concrete mixture during the middle 1/3
of the 90-minute mixing period.
3.3.4.1 The proposed concrete mixture shall be within the specified slump range at the end of the
90-minute field mixing period and meet the required strength at the specified test age.
3.3.5 Test values obtained in accordance with the appropriate ASTM Standard shall include
compressive strength (C 192/ C 192M or C 31/C 31M, and C 39/C 39M), flexural strength (C 192/C
192M and either C 78 or C 293; C 31/C 31M and either C 78 or C 293), or both; slump (C 143/C
143M); air content (C 231, C 173/C 173M, or C 138/C 138M); concrete density (unit weight) (C 138/
C 138M); and concrete temperature (C 1064/ C 1064M). Slump, air content, and concrete and air
temperature measurements shall be performed after initial mixing, intermediately as needed or as
desired, and at the conclusion of the mixing period along with the other specified tests.
3.3.6 Acceptance of concrete mixture proportions— Submit to the Engineer for acceptance a
request for a specific higher maximum allowable concrete temperature. Include the constituent
materials and proportions of the proposed concrete mixture and all values obtained from past field
experience or preconstruction testing. Test results shall be within the Project Specification ranges
and tolerances.
3.4—Concrete production and delivery
3.4.1 Concrete shall be produced at a temperature such that its maximum temperature at discharge
will not exceed the specified maximum allowable concrete temperature. Acceptable production
methods to reduce the temperature of the concrete include: shading aggregate stockpiles, sprinkling
water on coarse aggregate stockpiles; using chilled water for concrete production; substituting
