approximately 11 feet (3.3 m) apart and parallel to one another, to serve as guides for striking
board. Adjust bars to subgrades required for accurate setting of paving units to fmished grades
indicated.
C. Place bituminous setting bed where indicated, in panels, by spreading bituminous material
between control bars. Spread mix at a minimum temperature of 250 deg F (121 deg C). Strike
setting bed smooth, fine, even, and not less than 3/4 inch (19 mm) thick. Add fresh bituminous
material to low, porous spots after each pass of striking board. After each panel is completed,
advance first control bar to next position in readiness for striking adjacent panels. Carefully fill
depressions that remain after removing depth- control bars.
1. Roll setting bed with power roller to a nominal depth of 3/4 inch (19 mm). Adjust

1 indicated. Complete rolling before mix temperature cools to 185 deg F (85 deg C).
D. Apply neoprene- modified asphalt adhesive to cold setting bed by squeegeeing or troweling to a
uniform thickness of 1/16 inch (1.6 mm). Proceed with setting of paving units only after
adhesive is tacky and surface is dry to touch.
E. Place pavers carefully by hand in straight courses, maintaining accurate alignment and uniform
top surface. Protect newly laid pavers with plywood panels on which workers can stand.
Advance protective panels as work progresses, but maintain protection in areas subject to
continued movement of materials and equipment to avoid creating depressions or disrupting
alignment of pavers. If additional leveling of paving is required, and before treating joints, roll
paving with power roller after sufficient heat has built up in the surface from several days of hot
weather.
F. Joint Treatment: Place unit pavers with hand -tight joints. Fill joints by sweeping sand over
paved surface until joints are filled. Remove excess sand after joints are filled.

before placing pavers.
G. Wet brick pavers before laying if the initial rate of absorption exceeds 30 g/30 sq. in. (30 g/194
sq. cm) per minute when tested per ASTM C 67. Allow units to absorb water so they are damp
but not wet at time of laying.
1 H. Place pavers before initial set of cement occurs. Immediately before placing pavers on setting
bed, apply uniform 1/16 -inch- (1.5 -mm -) thick, slurry bond coat to bed or to back of each paver
with a flat trowel.
I. Tamp or beat pavers with a wooden block or rubber mallet to obtain full contact with setting
bed and to bring finished surfaces within indicated tolerances. Set each paver in a single
1 operation before initial set of mortar; do not return to areas already set or disturb pavers for
purposes of realigning fmished surfaces or adjusting joints.
J. Spaced Joint Widths: Provide 3/8 -inch (10 -mm) nominal joint width with variations not
exceeding plus or minus 1/16 inch (1.5 mm).
