Fabricate forms for easy removal without hammering or prying against concrete surfaces.Provide crush <br /> or wrecking plates where stripping may damage cast concrete surfaces.Provide top forms for inclined <br /> surfaces steeper than 1.5 horizontal to 1 vertical. <br /> 1. Install keyways,reglets,recesses,and the like,for easy removal. <br /> 2. Do not use rust-stained steel form-facing material. <br /> F. Set edge forms,bulkheads,and intermediate screed strips for slabs to achieve required elevations and <br /> slopes in finished concrete surfaces.Provide and secure units to support screed strips;use strike-off <br /> templates or compacting-type screeds. <br /> G. Provide temporary openings for cleanouts and inspection ports where interior area of formwork is <br /> inaccessible. Close openings with panels tightly fitted to forms and securely braced to prevent loss of <br /> concrete mortar.Locate temporary openings in forms at inconspicuous locations. <br /> H. Chamfer exterior corners and edges of permanently exposed concrete. <br /> I. Form openings,chases,offsets,sinkages,keyways,reglets,blocking,screeds,and bulkheads required in <br /> the Work.Determine sizes and locations from trades providing such items. <br /> J. Clean forms and adjacent surfaces to receive concrete.Remove chips,wood,sawdust,dirt,and other <br /> debris just before placing concrete. <br /> K. Retighten forms and bracing before placing concrete,as required,to prevent mortar leaks and maintain <br /> proper alignment. <br /> L. Coat contact surfaces of forms with form-release agent,according to manufacturer's written instructions, <br /> before placing reinforcement. <br /> 3.2 EMBEDDED ITEMS <br /> A. Place and secure anchorage devices and other embedded items required for adjoining work that is <br /> attached to or supported by cast-in-place concrete.Use setting drawings,templates,diagrams, <br /> instructions,and directions furnished with items to be embedded. <br /> 1. Install anchor rods,accurately located,to elevations required and complying with tolerances in <br /> Section 7.5 of AISC's"Code of Standard Practice for Steel Buildings and Bridges." <br /> 3.3 VAPOR RETARDERS <br /> A. Not applicable <br /> 3.4 STEEL REINFORCEMENT <br /> A. General: Comply with CRSI's "Manual of Standard Practice"for placing reinforcement. <br /> B. Clean reinforcement of loose rust and mill scale,earth,ice,and other foreign materials that would reduce <br /> bond to concrete. <br /> C. Accurately position,support,and secure reinforcement against displacement.Locate and support <br /> reinforcement with bar supports to maintain minimum concrete cover.Do not tack weld crossing <br /> reinforcing bars. <br /> D. Set wire ties with ends directed into concrete,not toward exposed concrete surfaces. <br />
