air is expected to be below 35 degrees F., during concrete
placing or within 24 hours thereafter, the temperature of the
plastic concrete, as,placed, shall be no lower than 55 degrees F.
for sections less than 12 inches in any dimension nor
50 degrees F. for any other sections. The temperature of the
concrete as placed shall not be so high as to cause difficulty
from loss of slump,.flash set, or.cold joints,.and should not
exceed 90 degrees F. When the temperature of the concrete
exceeds 90 degrees F., precautionary measures approved by the
Arch-itec-t--shal-I -be put into-effect, -When -t-he-t-emperatur-e of
steel forms and reinforcement is greater than 120 degrees F.,
such steel surfaces shall be sprayed with water just prior
to placing the concrete.

1.06 LEVELING AND FINISHING:

A. Edging and jointing:

1. Cut all concrete from forms to a depth of 1 inch.

2. All concrete edges shall be edged with a 1/4" radius.

3. All jointing will be done with a double edged jointing
tool having 1/4" radius.

B. Broom finish:

1. Immediately after the float finish, the entire surface shall
be broom finished with a broom specially made for texturing
concrete.

2. The roughness of the broom finish shall be approved by the
Architect.

1.07 CURING:

A. General:

Freshly placed concrete shall be protected as required to main-
tain the temperature of a concrete as not less than 40 degrees F.
nor more than 80 degrees F. and in a moist condition continuously
for the period of time necessary for the hydration of the
cement and proper hardening of the concrete. Changes in
temperature of the concrete during curing shall be as uniform as
possible and shall not exceed 5 degrees F. in any one hour nor
50 degrees F. in any 24 hour period.

Section 03300 - Page 4

B. Curing formed surfaces:

1. While forms are in place, curing of formed surfaces shall
be accomplished by moist.curing.

2. If forms are removed before the end of the curing period,
final curing of concrete surfaces shall be accomplished by
any of the curing methods specified above.

C. Curing slabs and other flat surfaces:

1. Curing shall start as soon as the free water has disappeared
from the surface of the concrete after finishing.

2. Curing of concrete apron, walks, and other exterior concrete
surfaces shall be accomplished by membrane curing using
exterior liquid curing compound.,

1.08- WEATHER PROTECTION OF CONCRETE-DURING CURING: -

A. Cold weather protection:

When the temperature of the atmosphere is 35 degrees F. and
below, the concrete shall be protected by heating, insulation
covering, housing of combination *thereof, as required to maintain
the temperature of the concrete at or above 50 degrees F., and
in a moist condition continuously for the concrete curing
period. Cold weather protection shall meet the requirements of
ACI Standard 306.

B. Hot weather protection:

When the temperature of the atmosphere is 90.degrees F. and
above, or during other climatic conditions whic 'h will cause too
rapid drying of the concrete, the concrete shall be protected
by wi.ndbreaks, shading, fog spraying, light colored moisture-
retaining covering, or a combination thereof as required to
maintain the temperature of the concrete below 80 degrees F.
and in a moist condition continuously for the concrete curing
period. Hot weather protection shall meet the requirements of
.ACI Standard 305.

1.09 DEFECTIVE WORK:

A. Inspection/patching:

1. Immediately after forms and curing membranes have been
removed, inspect all concrete surfaces and patch all pour
joints, voids, rock pockets, form tie holes, and other
imperfections before the concrete is thoroughly dry, in a
manner acceptable to the Architect.

2. Do not patch until concrete has been inspected by the
Architect.

Section 03300 - Page 5

B. Major defective areas:

If the defects are serious or affect the strength of the
structure, or if patching does notsatisfactorily restore the
.quality and appearance of the surface, the Architect may
require the concrete to be removed and replaced complete in
accordance with the provisions of this Section, all at no
additional cost to the Owner.
