required to provide a uniform dampened condition at time concrete is placed. Do not place
concrete around manholes and other structures until they are at required finish elevation and
alignment.
3. Place concrete in such a manner to prevent segregation of mix, consolidate along face of forms
and adjacent to transverse joints with internal vibrator. Keep vibrator away from joint assemblies,
reinforcement, or side of forms. Use only square faced shovels for hand spreading and
consolidation. Consolidate with care to prevent dislocation of reinforcing, dowels and joint devices.
4. Transport and place concrete not more than 90 minutes after water has been added to the dry
ingredients.
5. Use bonding agent at locations where fresh concrete is placed against hardened or partially
hardened concrete surfaces.
6. Deposit and spread concrete in a continuous operation between transverse joints as far as
possible. If interrupted for more than 1/2 hour, place a construction joint.
7. Tined rakes are prohibited as a means of conveying fibrous reinforced concrete. Come-a-long is
the appropriate tool to use.
8. If concrete pumping equipment is required, elevate the ready-mix truck chute approximately 12 to
14 inches above the pump grate in order to improve the movement of CPF fiber-reinforced
concrete through the pumping equipment.
9. Automatic machine may be used for curb and gutter placement at Contractor's option. If machine
placement is to be used, submit revised mix design and laboratory test results that meet or exceed
minimums specified. Machine placement must produce curbs and gutters to required cross-

maintain the intended slab thickness at embedded items. Set anchor bolts and embedded plates
furnished under the structural steel section of these Specifications.
7. Place and properly support all required reinforcing. Hold bars in beams and slabs to exact location
during concrete placement.
C. Conveying
1. Concrete shall be conveyed from mixer to place of final deposit by method,which will prevent
separation or loss of material.
2. Equipment for chuting and conveying concrete shall be of such size and design as to insure a
practically continuous flow of concrete at the delivery without separation of material.
3. Provide runways or other means for wheeled equipment to convey concrete to point of deposit.
Construct runways so that supports will not bear upon reinforcement or fresh concrete.
4. Pumps or pneumatic equipment shall have adequate pumping capacity. Slump loss due to
pumping shall not exceed 2 inches. Do not convey concrete through pipes made of aluminum or
aluminum alloy. Maintain controls for proportioning, mixing, adjustment of mix and placement in
accordance with ACI 301 and ACI 304.2R.
D. Depositing
1. Concrete shall be deposited as nearly as practicable in its final position to avoid segregation due to
rehandling or flowing. No concrete shall have a free fall of over three feet from truck,mixer,
buggies, chutes or tremies. The concreting shall be carried on at such a rate that the concrete is
at all times plastic and flows readily into the spaces between bars. Concrete that has partially
hardened,or been contaminated by foreign materials, shall not be deposited in the work, nor shall
retempered concrete be used.
2. When concreting is started, it shall be carried on as a continuous operation until the placing of the
section is completed. Do not allow cold joints to occur.
3. Protect adjacent surfaces from concrete drippings, spillage or splashes. Hardened or partially
hardened splashes or accumulations of concrete on forms or reinforcement shall be removed
before the work proceeds. Clean all damaged surfaces immediately.
4. All concrete shall be thoroughly consolidated by mechanical vibrators during the placing operation
and shall be thoroughly worked around the reinforcement and embedded fixtures and into the
corners of the forms. Mechanical vibrators shall be applied directly to the concrete and used only
under experienced supervision. Vibrators shall be carried on continuously with the placing of
concrete. Keep a minimum of two vibrators on the job during concreting operations. Consolidation
of concrete shall be in accordance with ACI 309.
5. Do not over vibrate concrete or use vibrators to transport concrete within forms. Insert vibrators
vertically at frequent intervals. Do not drag vibrators through concrete. Do not insert vibrators into
lower courses that have begun to set.

6. All conveyances shall be thoroughly cleaned at frequent intervals during the placing of concrete,
and before beginning a new run of concrete. All hardened concrete and foreign materials shall be
removed from the surfaces.
7. Maintain controls for proportioning, mixing, adjustment of mix and placement; use pumping
equipment in accordance with ACI 301 and 304.2R.
8. Do not drop concrete directly into standing water. Use a tremie with the outlet near the bottom of
the place of deposit. Contractor shall obtain approval of AutoZone project manager in writing prior
to placing any concrete into standing water.
E. Paving Slabs and Sidewalks
1. Place granular subbase if required over subgrade to thickness shown on drawings and consolidate
material. Bring material to optimum moisture content. The subgrade shall be free of frost before
concrete placing begins.
2. Edge forms, if required, and intermediate screed strips shall be set accurately to produce the
designated elevations and contours of the finished surface, and shall be sufficiently strong to
support vibrating screeds or roller pipe screeds. The concrete surface shall be aligned to the
contours of screed strips by the use of strike-off templates or acceptable compacting type screeds.
3. Mixing and placing shall be carefully coordinated with finishing. Concrete shall not be placed on
the granular sub base or forms more rapidly than it can be spread, straight edged and darbied or
bull floated. These operations must be performed before bleeding water has an opportunity to
collect on the surface.
4. Concrete in slabs shall be thoroughly consolidated. Internal vibration shall be used along the
bulkheads of slabs on grade. Consolidation of slabs shall be obtained with vibrating screeds, roller
pipe screeds, internal vibrators or other approved means. To obtain good surfaces and avoid cold
joints,the size of finishing crews shall be planned with due regard for the effects of concrete
temperature and atmospheric conditions on the rate of hardening of the concrete.
5. All finishes must be adequate in all respects to receive material to be applied to it,true to line and
free of defects or blemishes. No driers, dry cement, nor cement-sand mixture shall be used in
connection with any finish surfaces to absorb water, stiffen mix or for any other purpose.
6. All paving, sidewalks, loading dock slabs and exterior stairs shall receive a light broom finish.
7. Areas which are called out, to receive a light broom finish shall be given a light traverse texture by
drawing a broom across the surface, and will not be trowelled.
8. Precautions to protect fresh concrete from developing plastic shrinkage cracks must be taken in
advance of concrete placement where evaporation rate due to any combination of temperature,
humidity, and wind velocity is expected to approach 0.2 lbs./sq.ft./hr. as determined by ACI 305
Figure 2.1.5. Acceptable precautions to reduce the rate of evaporation include the use of wind
breaks, monomolecular film, evaporation retarders, fog spray, covering with polyethylene sheeting,
or wet cover.
3.08 COLD WEATHER PLACING
A. Protect all concrete work from physical damage or reduced strength which could be caused by frost,
freezing actions, or low temperatures, in compliance with requirements of ACI 306 and as herein
specified.
B. When the air temperature has fallen to or may be expected to fall below 40 degrees F, provide
adequate means to maintain the temperature in the area where concrete is being placed, at between
50 and 70 degrees F for at least 7 days after placing. Provide temporary housings or coverings
including tarpaulins or plastic film. Maintain the heat and protection, if necessary,to insure that the
ambient temperature does not fall more than 30 degrees F in the 24 hours following the 7-day period.
Avoid rapid dry-out of concrete due to overheating and avoid thermal shock due to sudden cooling or
heating.
C. When air temperature has fallen or is expected to fall below 40 degrees F, uniformly heat all water and
aggregates before mixing as required to obtain a concrete mixture temperature of not less than 55
degrees F and not more than 85 degrees F at point of placement.
D. Do not use frozen materials containing ice or snow. Do not place concrete on frozen subgrade or
subgrade containing frozen materials. Ascertain that form, reinforcing steel and adjacent concrete
surfaces are entirely free of frost, snow and ice before placing concrete.
E. Do not use salt or other materials containing antifreeze agents or chemical accelerators or set control
admixtures unless approved by AutoZone Construction Project Manager.

3.09 HOT WEATHER PLACING
A. When hot weather exists that would seriously impair the quality and strength of concrete, place
concrete in compliance with ACI 305 and as herein specified.
B. Cool ingredients before mixing to maintain concrete temperature at time of placement below 80
degrees F when the temperature is rising and below 85 degrees F when the temperature is falling.
Mixing water may be chilled, or chopped ice may be used to control the concrete temperature provided
the water equivalent of the ice is calculated in the total amount of mixing water.
C. Cover reinforcing steel with water soaked burlap if it becomes too hot, so that the steel temperature will
not exceed the ambient air temperature immediately before embedment in concrete.
D. Wet forms thoroughly before placing concrete.
E. Do not place concrete at a temperature so as to cause difficulty from loss of slump, flash-set, or cold
joints.
F. Do not use set-control admixtures unless approved by the AutoZone Construction Project Manager in
Mix Design.
G. Obtain Project Manager's approval of other methods and materials proposed for use prior to actually
commencing the work.
H. Precautions to protect fresh concrete from developing plastic shrinkage cracks must be taken in
advance of concrete placement where evaporation rate due to any combination of temperature,
humidity, and wind velocity is expected to approach 0.2 lbs./sq.ft./hr. as determined by ACI 305 Figure
2.1.5. Acceptable precautions to reduce the rate of evaporation include the use of wind breaks,
monomolecular film, evaporation retarders,fog spray, covering with polyethylene sheeting, or wet
cover.
3.10 CONCRETE FINISHING
A. General Information and Requirements:
1. Concrete with fibermesh reinforcing will appear to be slightly stiffer than plain concrete, because
the fibers act in a cohesive manner and bind the mix together. However,the workability of the mix
will remain, do not add excess water.
2. Fibers do not float to the surface once they are distributed in the concrete. Fibers may appear on
or near the surface simply because they have been three dimensionally distributed.
3. A fibermesh slab will bleed less and slower than a wire mesh-reinforced slab. Do not get on the
slab too early for finishing.
4. For a broom or textured finish, broom in one direction only(perpendicular from the adjacent
building wall). Fibers that may appear on the surface will wear off quickly under light traffic.
B. Flat Work:
1. After strike-off and consolidating concrete, smooth surface by screeding and floating. Use hand
method only where mechanical floating is not possible. Adjust floating to compact surface and
produce uniform texture.
2. After floating,test surface for trueness with a 10 foot straightedge. Distribute concrete as required
to remove surface irregularities, and refloat repaired areas to provide a continuous smooth finish.
3. Work edges of slabs and formed joints with an edging tool and round to 1/2 inch radius, unless
otherwise indicated. Eliminate tool marks on concrete surface.
4. After completion of floating and troweling, when excess moisture or surface sheen has
disappeared, complete surface finishing.
5. Concrete pavement, sidewalks,flow channels,flumes, curbs and other similar exterior slabs shall
have a non-slip finish by scoring the surface with a fine hair broom, perpendicular to the line of
traffic. Provide a fine line texture acceptable to the AutoZone Construction Project Manager.
C. Formed Surfaces:
1. Do not remove forms until concrete has hardened sufficiently to support its own weight and
imposed construction loads, but in no case sooner than 24 hours after concrete has been placed.
2. After removal of forms all honeycombed and other defective concrete shall be removed down to
sound concrete. If chipping is necessary the edges shall be perpendicular to the surface or slightly
undercut. No feathering shall be permitted. The area to be patched as well as the area at least 6
inches wide surrounding it shall be dampened to prevent the absorption of water from the patching
mortar. A bonding grout shall be prepared using a mix of approximately one part cement to one
J:1Production Masters\Docs\Project Specs\Div-2\Sec-02520 05/20/09
8
part fine sand passing a No. 300 mesh sieve, mixed to the consistency of thick cream, and then
brushed into the surface.
3. Concrete surfaces not exposed to view shall be finished with a rough form finish and all surfaces
exposed to view shall be finished with a smooth rubbed finish.
4. For a rough form finish,tie holes and defects shall be patched and fins exceeding'/4 inch in height
shall be chipped or rubbed off. Otherwise, surfaces may be left with the texture imparted by the
forms.
5. For a smooth rubbed finish, the form facing material shall produce a smooth, hard, uniform texture
on the concrete. The arrangement of the facing material shall be orderly and symmetrical,with the
number of seams kept to the practical minimum. Tie holes and defects shall be patched and all
fins shall be removed by rubbing.
6. Upon completion of the work, retaining walls,wing walls, light pole bases, bollards and other
surfaces exposed to view shall be given a rubbed finish. Immediately upon removal of the forms,
the surfaces to be rubbed shall be pointed up,thoroughly wetted and then rubbed with a No. 20
carborundum brick and water so as to produce a true, even and smooth surface. When necessary
to fill pinholes, and upon areas which have been reconstructed, rubbing shall be done by
carborundum brick and a thin cement grout composed of 1 part of cement and 2 parts of fine
washed silicone sand, all of which shall pass a No. 20 sieve. The surface finished with grout shall
be carefully scraped with a steel edge so as to remove all surplus grout, after which it shall be
given a final rub with a wood float until all skin and form marks are removed. No wash composed
of cement, sand and water shall be used in this process.
7. Remove wood forms from under floors, ramps, steps and similar places such as temporary
openings so no material will be left to rot or be infested by termites.
3.11 CURING and PROTECTION
A. Protect and cure all finished cast in place concrete work. Begin immediately after placement; protect
concrete from premature drying,excessively hot or cold temperatures and mechanical damage. Cure
in accordance with ACI 308. Use membrane-forming curing and sealing compound or approved
continuously moist-curing method for not less than 7 days, and in accordance with ACI 301
procedures. If used, apply curing compound as soon as final finishing operations are complete(within
2 hours). Apply curing compound uniformly in continuous operation by power sprayer or roller
according to manufacturer's written instructions, but as a minimum, apply two coats perpendicular to
one another. Recoat areas subject to heavy rainfall within three hours after initial application. Maintain
continuity of coating and repair damage during curing period. After curing period has elapsed remove
non-dissipating curing compounds without damaging concrete surfaces by method recommended by
curing compound manufacturer.
B. Cold weather curing shall provide protection from freezing, polyethylene sheets covered with hay or
straw, or curing blankets shall be used in accordance with ACI 306R procedures. If pavement is built
in the fall and is to be put into service before it has 30 days of drying (above 40 degrees F) after curing,
a water repellant/sealer shall be applied. The material used shall allow the escape of water vapor
from the pavement, while preventing the intrusion of deicing salts into the concrete. Material used shall
be applied in strict accordance with the manufacturers' instructions.
C. When concrete curing occurs during hot weather, extra precautions must be taken to prevent rapid
drying and minimize evaporation. For additional information and requirements refer to ACI 305R.
D. When rain is imminent or occurs during concrete placement, operations should be stopped, and all
steps necessary to protect the hardening concrete shall be taken. Contractor shall completely cover all
surfaces with plastic sheeting that may be damaged, and shall take precautions to prevent any water
from washing across the concrete surfaces. Provide weights to keep sheeting from blowing away.
E. All formed concrete work subject to lateral loading (retaining walls) shall not receive such loads until 28
days of cure time unless approved by AutoZone Construction Project Manager.
3.12 REPAIR AND CLEAN-UP
A. Repair or replace broken or defective concrete as directed by Project Manager.
B. Protect concrete from damage until acceptance of work. Exclude traffic from pavement for at least 14
days after placement. When construction traffic is permitted, maintain pavement as clean as possible
by removing surface stains and spillage of materials as they occur
J:\Production Masters\Docs\Project Specs\Div-2\Sec-02520 05/20/09

hours to 75 minutes, and when air temperature exceeds 90 degrees F. further reduce maximum mixing
and delivery time to 60 minutes.
3.07 CONCRETE PLACEMENT
A. Preparation for Placing Concrete
1. The Testing Laboratory, to the extent required by the Specifications, prior to placement of concrete
shall have inspected all subgrade surfaces. AutoZone or its designee shall be the sole judge as to the
suitability of the bearing material.
2. Before concrete is placed, all debris, water, ice or other material shall be removed from the spaces to
be occupied by the concrete. Remove surplus releasing agent from the contact faces of forms and
thoroughly clean reinforcement of other coatings. Concrete shall not be placed on frozen ground.
3. Prepare previously placed concrete by cleaning with a steel brush and applying bonding agent in
accordance with manufacturer's recommendations.
4. Notify all trades concerned, including AutoZone's Construction Project Manager and the Testing
Laboratory sufficiently in advance to permit installation of all required work by other trades.
5. Before placing concrete, all required imbedded items, including dovetail anchor slots, anchors, inserts,
angles, metal frames, fixtures, sleeves, drains, stair nosing, accessory devices for mechanical and
electrical installations.shall be properly located, accurately positioned and built into the construction
and maintained securely in place.
6. Build into construction all items furnished by AutoZone and other trades. Provide all offsets, pockets,
slabs,chases and recesses, as job conditions require. Thicken slabs as required to maintain the
J:1Production Masters\Docs\Project Specs\Div-3 05/20/09
5
intended slab thickness at embedded items. Set anchor bolts and embedded plates furnished under
the structural steel section of these Specifications.
7. Place and properly support all required reinforcing. Hold bars in beams and slabs to exact location
during concrete placement.
8. Place vapor barrier sheeting, if required, with longest dimension parallel with direction of pour. Lap
joints 6 inches minimum and seal with appropriate tape. Do not disturb or damage vapor barrier while
placing reinforcing or concrete. If damage occurs, repair before concrete covers area.
B. Conveying
1. Concrete shall be conveyed from mixer to place of final deposit by method,which will prevent
separation or loss of material.
2. Equipment for chuting and conveying concrete shall be of such size and design as to insure a
practically continuous flow of concrete at the delivery without separation of material.
3. Provide runways or other means for wheeled equipment to convey concrete to point of deposit.
Construct runways so that supports will not bear upon reinforcement or fresh concrete.
4. Pumps or pneumatic equipment shall have adequate pumping capacity. Slump loss due to pumping
shall not exceed 2 inches. Do not convey concrete through pipes made of aluminum or aluminum
alloy. Maintain controls for proportioning, mixing, adjustment of mix and placement in accordance
with ACI 301 and ACI 304.2R.
C. Depositing
1. Concrete shall be deposited as nearly as practicable in its final position to avoid segregation due to
rehandling or flowing. No concrete shall have a free fall of over three feet from truck, mixer, buggies,
chutes or tremies. The concreting shall be carried on at such a rate that the concrete is at all times
plastic and flows readily into the spaces between bars. Concrete that has partially hardened, or been
contaminated by foreign materials, shall not be deposited in the work, nor shall retempered concrete
be used.
2. When concreting is started, it shall be carried on as a continuous operation until the placing of the
section is completed. Do not allow cold joints to occur.
3. Protect adjacent surfaces from concrete drippings, spillage or splashes. Hardened or partially
hardened splashes or accumulations of concrete on forms or reinforcement shall be removed before
the work proceeds. Clean all damaged surfaces immediately.
4. All concrete shall be thoroughly consolidated by mechanical vibrators during the placing operation and
shall be thoroughly worked around the reinforcement and embedded fixtures and into the corners of
the forms. Mechanical vibrators shall be applied directly to the concrete and used only under
experienced supervision. Vibrators shall be carried on continuously with the placing of concrete.
Keep a minimum of two vibrators on the job during concreting operations.
5. Do not over vibrate concrete or use vibrators to transport concrete within forms. Insert vibrators
vertically at frequent intervals. Do not drag vibrators through concrete. Do not insert vibrators into
lower courses that have begun to set.
6. All conveyances shall be thoroughly cleaned at frequent intervals during the placing of concrete, and
before beginning a new run of concrete. All hardened concrete and foreign materials shall be
removed from the surfaces.
7. Maintain controls for proportioning, mixing, adjustment of mix and placement using pumping
equipment in accordance with ACI 301 and 304.2R.
8. Do not drop concrete directly into standing water. Use a tremie with the outlet near the bottom of the
place of deposit. Contractor shall obtain approval of AutoZone project manager in writing prior to
placing any concrete into standing water.
D. Building Slab
1. Place granular subbase if required over subgrade to thickness shown on drawings and consolidate
material. Bring material to optimum moisture content. The subgrade shall be free of frost before
concrete placing begins. If the temperature inside a building where concrete is to be placed is below
freezing it shall be raised and maintained above 50 degrees F. long enough to remove all frost from
the subgrade. Place vapor barrier sheeting over the subbase material with longest dimension parallel
with direction of pour. Lap joints 6 inches minimum and seal with appropriate tape. Do not disturb or
damage vapor barrier while placing reinforcing or concrete. If damage occurs, repair before concrete
covers area.
2. Edge forms, if required, and intermediate screed strips shall be set accurately to produce the
designated elevations and contours of the finished surface, and shall be sufficiently strong to support
Jf'Production Masters\Docs\Project Specs\Div-3 05/20/09
6
vibrating screeds or roller pipe screeds. The concrete surface shall be aligned to the contours of
screed strips by the use of strike-off templates or acceptable compacting type screeds.
3. Mixing and placing shall be carefully coordinated with finishing. Concrete shall not be placed on the
granular sub base or forms more rapidly than it can be spread, straightedged and darbied or bull
floated. These operations must be performed before bleeding water has an opportunity to collect on
the surface.
4. Concrete in slabs shall be thoroughly consolidated. Internal vibration shall be used along the
bulkheads of slabs on grade. Consolidation of slabs shall be obtained with vibrating screeds, roller
pipe screeds, internal vibrators or other approved means. To obtain good surfaces and avoid cold
joints,the size of finishing crews shall be planned with due regard for the effects of concrete
temperature and atmospheric conditions on the rate of hardening of the concrete.
5. All finishes must be adequate in all respects to receive material to be applied to it,true to line and free
of defects or blemishes. No driers, dry cement, nor cement-sand mixture shall be used in connection
with any finish surfaces to absorb water, stiffen mix or for any other purpose.
6. All loading dock slabs and exterior stairs shall receive a light broom finish; all interior-building slabs
shall receive a troweled finish.
7. After the concrete has been placed, consolidated, struck off and leveled,the concrete shall not be
worked further until ready for floating. Floating with a hand float or with a bladed power trowel
equipped with float shoes, or with a power disk float shall begin when the water sheen has
disappeared and when surface has stiffened sufficiently to permit the operation. During or after the
first floating, planeness of surface shall be checked with a 10 foot straightedge applied at not less than
two different spots filled during this procedure, to produce a surface within a 1/4 inch in 10 foot
tolerance throughout. The slab shall then be refloated immediately to a uniform sandy texture. The
slab shall next be power troweled and finally hand troweled. The first trowelling after power floating
shall produce a smooth surface which is relatively free of defects but which may still show some
trowel marks. Additional trowelling shall be done by hand after the surface has hardened sufficiently.
The final trowelling shall be done when a ringing sound is produced as the trowel is moved over the
surface. The surface shall be thoroughly consolidated by the hand troweling operations. The finished
surface shall be essentially free of trowel marks, uniform in texture and appearance and shall meet or
exceed the floor flatness requirements specified in paragraph 1.03 above.
8. Areas which are called out, to receive a light broom finish shall be given a light traverse texture by
drawing a broom across the surface, and will not be trowelled.
9. Precautions to protect fresh concrete from developing plastic shrinkage cracks must be taken in
advance of concrete placement where evaporation rate due to any combination of temperature,
humidity, and wind velocity is expected to approach 0.2 lbs./sq.ft./hr. as determined by ACI 305 Figure
2.1.5. Acceptable precautions to reduce the rate of evaporation include the use of wind breaks,
monomolecular film, evaporation retarders,fog spray, covering with polyethylene sheeting, or wet
cover.
3.08 COLD WEATHER PLACING
A. Protect all concrete work from physical damage or reduced strength which could be caused by frost,
freezing actions, or low temperatures, in compliance with requirements of ACI 306 and as herein
specified.
B. When the air temperature has fallen to or may be expected to fall below 40 degrees F, provide adequate
means to maintain the temperature in the area where concrete is being placed, at between 50 and 70
degrees F for at least 7 days after placing. Provide temporary housings or coverings including tarpaulins or
plastic film. Maintain the heat and protection, if necessary, to insure that the ambient temperature does not
fall more than 30 degrees F in the 24 hours following the initial 7-days period. Avoid rapid dry out of
concrete due to overheating and avoid thermal shock due to sudden cooling or heating.
C. When air temperature has fallen or is expected to fall below 40 degrees F, uniformly heat all water and
aggregates before mixing as required to obtain a concrete mixture temperature of not less than 55
degrees F and not more than 85 degrees F at point of placement.
D. Do not use frozen materials containing ice or snow. Do not place concrete on frozen subgrade or
subgrade containing frozen materials. Ascertain that form, reinforcing steel and adjacent concrete
surfaces are entirely free of frost, snow and ice before placing concrete.
E. Do not use salt or other materials containing antifreeze agents or chemical accelerators or set control
admixtures unless approved by AutoZone Construction Project Manager.
J:\Production Masters\Docs\Project Specs\Div-3 05/20/09

3.09 HOT WEATHER PLACING
A. When hot weather exists that would seriously impair the quality and strength of concrete, place concrete in
compliance with ACI 305 and as herein specified. F
B. Cool
ingredients before mixing to maintain concrete temperature erature at time of placement below 80 degrees
when the temperature
is risingand below 85 degrees F when the temperature is falling. Mixing water may

C. Cover reinforcing steel with water soaked burlap if it becomes too hot, so that the steel temperature wi
ll
not exceed the ambient air temperature immediately before embedment in concrete.
D. Wet forms thoroughly before placing concrete.
E. Do not place concrete at a temperature so as to cause difficulty from loss of slump, flash-set, or cold
. joints.
F. Do not use set-control admixtures unless approved by the AutoZone Construction Project Manager in Mix
Design.
G. Obtain Project Manager's approval of other methods and materials proposed for use prior to actually
commencing the work.
H. Precautions to protect fresh concrete from developing plastic shrinkage cracks must be taken in advance
of concrete placement where evaporation rate due to any combination of temperature, humidity, and wind
velocity is expected to approach 0.2 ibs./sq.ft./hr. as determined by ACI 305 Figure 2.1.5. Acceptable
precautions to reduce the rate of evaporation include the use of wind breaks, monomolecular film,
evaporation retarders, fog spray, covering with polyethylene sheeting, or wet cover.
3.10 CONCRETE FINISHING OF FORMED SURFACES
A. Do not remove forms for 24 hours after concrete has been placed. After removal of forms all
honeycombed and other defective concrete shall be removed down to sound concrete. If chipping is
necessary the edges shall be perpendicular to the surface or slightly undercut. No feathering will be
permitted. The area to be patched and an area at least 6 inches wide surrounding it shall be dampened to
prevent absorption of water from the patching mortar. A bonding grout shall be prepared using a mix of
approximately one part cement to one part fine sand passing a No. 300 mesh sieve, mixed to the
consistency of thick cream, and then well brushed into the surface.
B. Concrete surfaces not exposed to view shall be finished with a rough form finish and all surfaces exposed
to view shall be finish with a smooth rubbed finish.
C. For a rough form finish,tie holes and defects shall be patched and fins exceeding 1/4 inch in height shall
be chipped or rubbed off. Otherwise, surfaces may be left with the texture imparted by forms.
D. For a smooth rubbed finish, the form facing material shall produce a smooth, hard, uniform texture on the
concrete. The arrangement of the facing material shall be orderly and symmetrical, with the number of
seams kept to the practical minimum. Tie holes and defects shall be patched and all fins shall be
removed by rubbing.
E. Immediately upon removal of the forms, the surfaces to be rubbed shall be pointed up, thoroughly wetted
and then rubbed with a No. 20 carborundum brick and water so as to produce a true, even and smooth
surface. When necessary to fill pinholes, and upon areas which have been reconstructed, rubbing shall
be done by carborundum brick and a thin cement grout composed of one part of cement and two parts of
fine washed silicone sand, all of which shall pass a No. 20 sieve. The surface finished with grout shall be
carefully scraped with a steel edge so as to remove all surplus grout, after which it shall be given a final
rub with a wood float until all skin and form marks shall be removed. No "wash"composed of cement and
water, or cement, sand and water shall be used in this process.
3.11 CURING
A. Protect and cure all finished cast in place concrete work. Begin immediately after placement; protect
concrete from premature drying, excessively hot or cold temperatures and mechanical damage. Cure in
accordance with ACI 308. Use membrane-forming curing and sealing compound or approved
continuously moist-curing method for not less than 7 days, and in accordance with ACI 301 procedures. If
used, apply curing compound as soon as final finishing operations are complete(within 2 hours). Apply
curing compound uniformly in continuous operation by power sprayer or roller according to manufacturer's
written instructions, but as a minimum, apply two coats perpendicular to one another. Recoat areas
subject to heavy rainfall within three hours after initial application. Maintain continuity of coating and repair
J:1Production Masters\DocsWroject Specs\Div-3 05/20/09
8
damage during curing period. After curing period has elapsed remove non-dissipating curing compounds
without damaging concrete surfaces by method recommended by curing compound manufacturer.
B. All formed concrete work subject to lateral loading (retaining walls) shall not receive such loads until 28
days of cure time unless approved by AutoZone Construction Project Manager.
C. Contractor shall be responsible for verifying that curing compound is compatible with and will have no
detrimental effect on adhesives and final finishes specified over concrete surfaces.
D. Refer to Specifications Section 03150 for curing and sealing of surfaces to receive Penetrating Liquid
Sealer.
3.12 REPAIR, PROTECTION AND CLEAN-UP
A. Repair or replace broken or defective concrete as directed by AutoZone Construction Project Manager.
B. Protect freshly placed concrete from premature drying and excessive cold or hot temperatures, and
maintain,without drying, at a relatively constant temperature for the period necessary for hydration of the
cement and proper hardening of the concrete.
C. Protect concrete from damage until acceptance of work. Exclude traffic from pavement for at least 14
days after placement. When construction traffic is permitted, maintain pavement as clean as possible by
removing surface stains and spillage of materials as they occur.
D. Sweep concrete pavement and wash free of stains, discolorations, dirt and other foreign material just prior
to final inspection.
E. Upon completion and as directed by AutoZone Construction Project Manager, remove all excess material,
debris, forms and equipment occasioned by the work.

DIVISION 3 - SECTION 03150 PENETRATING SEALER
PART 1 GENERAL
1.01 PRECAUTIONS
A. Protect material from freezing. If frozen thaw and agitate before using. Do not apply when temperature is
below 35 degrees F. or above 135 degrees F.
B. Apply with low-pressure sprayer only, do not use airless sprayers.
C. Avoid contact with glass, aluminum, or finished surfaces. Where contact occurs, immediately wipe with a
damp cloth or flush with water. When applying near windows mask the glass.
D. Surfaces being treated will become slippery during application. Exercise care and caution to avoid falls
and injury.
E. Do not apply to areas previously treated with curing or sealing agents unless these coatings have been
removed by chemical or mechanical means.
PART 2 PRODUCTS
2.01 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
A. Ashford Formula is a colorless,transparent liquid that penetrates concrete, protecting, preserving,and
strengthening it permanently by chemically reacting with the concrete.
B. Do not substitute for this product.
PART 3 EXECUTION
3.01 AREA OF INSTALLATION
A. Install Ashford Formula over all interior concrete surfaces not scheduled to receive vinyl composition floor
tile. Ashford Formula may extend over the areas to receive floor tile without penalty.
3.02 INSTALLATION ON FRESHLY FINISHED CONCRETE
A. Freshly finished concrete surfaces require no special surface preparation if the Ashford Formula is to be
applied immediately after the finishing operation as a curing agent.
B. Saw cutting may be done before or after the Ashford Formula is applied depending on the immediate need
for curing. It is critical in either case that the dust or slurry from cutting be immediately and thoroughly
removed from the slab surface.
C. Immediately following the trowelling operation, and as soon as the slab is safe enough to walk on, saturate
the surface with Ashford Formula at approximately 200 square feet per gallon using a low pressure, high
volume sprayer. Ashford Formula is a penetrant, not a membrane; enough material needs to be on the
surface to allow the Ashford to thoroughly soak in. As a guideline, there should be enough Ashford on the
floor to"fill-in"a footprint within several seconds of taking a step. This is often referred to as a"flood coat"
or"wet coat". Once a wet coat has been achieved, work Ashford Formula into the concrete surface with
soft-bristled brooms. This will break surface tension and aid penetration.
D. Keep the surface wet with Ashford for a minimum of 30 minutes, and then wait for the Ashford to become
slippery and gel-like under foot. In extremely cool,windless conditions,Ashford can take up to an hour or
longer to become slippery. In hot,windy conditions, Ashford may become slippery and gel like in as little
as 15 minutes, if this occurs, lightly mist surface with water which will resolubilize the Ashford so that it is
no longer slippery or gel-like.
E. During the initial 30 minutes, no spot or area on the slab should be allowed to become dry. Avoid dry
areas by either brooming excess Ashford over the more absorbent spots or by putting down more
Ashford. Pay particular attention to porous areas and slab edges, as these areas tend to dry out more
quickly.
F. After the slab has been wet with Ashford for a minimum of 30 minutes, and the Ashford becomes slippery,
lightly mist the surface with water. This can be done either with a low pressure sprayer or a hose and
nozzle(nozzle must be adjusted to create a mist). Agitate with a broom to aid penetration and wait for
Ashford to become slippery or gel-like a second time.
G. After Ashford become slippery a second time,thoroughly flush the surface with water. During the flushing
process,agitate the floor with brooms to help loosen and remove excess Ashford Formula from the
surface.
H. Squeegee the slab thoroughly by pushing the water ahead of the squeegee and off the slab edge. Once
completed the floor should look like bare concrete with nothing on it. During the squeegee process,there
J:\Production Masters\Docs\Project Specs\Div-3 05/20/09
1
may be some slippery patches. This is an indication that excess Ashford is still on the surface. These
areas should be re-flushed and squeegeed again until the entire surface dry and free from slippery
patches.
3.03 DRYING TIME
A. The surface may be used as soon as the application is complete and the surface is again dry to the touch.
This will occur usually in 1 to 3 hours after squeegeeing.
3.04 COVERING
A. On new concrete, allow a minimum of 30 days for the floor to cure before covering with flooring material.
3.05 EXISTING CONCRETE FLOORS
A. Do not install Ashford Formula over existing concrete floors without first consulting with a qualified Ashford
representative. Existing floors require entirely different procedures than do freshly placed floors. In some
cases the floor may need to be stripped. In other cases it may need to be thoroughly cleaned or
neutralized. For the name of a qualified technical representative, call:
