SUBMITTALS A. B. C. Product Data: Submit Manufacturer's product data on expansion joint cover assemblies. Samples: Submit samples of the metal finish not less than 150 mm long. Samples will be reviewed by the Engineer for color and texture only. Shop Drawings: Submit shop drawings showing configuration as well as extent of each type of unit and relationship to adjacent materials.

1.4

TRANSPORTATION, HANDLING AND STORAGE A. Deliver material to the site in packages or containers; labeled for identification with the Manufacturer's name, brand and contents. Store material in weather tight and dry storage facility. Protect from damage from handling, weather and construction operations before, during and after installation.

1.5

WARRANTY A. Submit 2 copies of written guarantee signed by the Manufacturer, and the Installer, agreeing to replace units which fail in material or workmanship within 2 years of date of handing over.

PART 2 - PRODUCTS 2.1 MISCELLANEOUS METALS A. General: Provide miscellaneous metal items and systems complete including incidental plates, angles, bolts, anchors and similar items, and welding required to join items and systems together and to other materials. Materials: Miscellaneous metal, unless otherwise indicated or specified, shall be mild steel conforming to ASTM A 7 for structural steel, and ASTM A 27 for cast steel. Aluminum: 6063-T5 Alloy, C1-R1-204 clear and anodized. Accessories: Manufacturer's standard anchors, fasteners, set screws, spacers, flexible seal and filler materials, adhesive and other accessories compatible with materials in contact, as shown or required for the complete installation. Wearing Surfaces: Manufacturer's standard, of the type as recommended for use.

PREMOLDED EXPANSION JOINT COVERS A. B. Where required, provide manufacturer's standard premolded expansion joint covers to suit the conditions as indicated on the Drawings. Where required, provide manufacturer's standard UL listed fire rated expansion joint cover assemblies. 1. 2. Fire rating of joint shall be as indicated on Drawings. Achieve the required fire rating by using manufacturer standard methods and UL approved construction details.

2.3

FABRICATION A. General: Provide the basic profile and operating units for expansion joint covers as shown on Drawings. Select units comparable to those shown or required for the joint size and to absorb variations in adjacent surfaces and structural movement. Provide the longest practicable lengths to minimize the number of end joints. Provide hairline metered corners where joint changes direction or abuts other material systems. Wall Joint Cover Assemblies: 1. Provide concealed, continuously anchored members fastened to wall only on one side of the joint. Extend cover to lap each side of joint with free movement. Attach cover to the anchor member with the cover in close contact with adjacent contact surfaces. Provide flexible vinyl moisture seal on slippage side under exterior covers and elsewhere as shown. Make other provisions as necessary to provide a weather tight installation.

Floor Joint Cover Assemblies: 1. 2. 3. Provide continuous angle shape seating members with raised floor rim and concealed bolt or stud anchors for casting into concrete. Provide one on each side of flat joints; one only on floor side of corner joints. Provide recessed cover plates for flat joints to receive floor covering and angle pattern cover plates for corner joints, unless otherwise shown. Lap sliding angles of cover plates on seating members. Attach covers for flat joints to one seating member; attach angle cover for corner joints to wall. Fill space between edge of cover plate and raised rim of seating member, flush to finished floor, with flexible filler material suitable to withstand floor traffic, as recommended by the expansion joint manufacturer. Adhere filler to seating member with waterproof adhesive or pressure-sensitive tape. Provide continuous flexible vinyl moisture seals for weather tight joints, as shown on the Drawings.

CONSTRUCTION JOINTS AND CONTROL JOINTS

ITCC in Riyadh Residential Complex J10-13300

A. B. C.

Clean surface of concrete construction joints and remove laitance. Wet Joints and remove the standing water. Locate the construction joints in floors within the middle third of spans of slabs, beams and girders. Offset joints in girders a minimum distance of two times the width of intersecting beams. Place beams, girders and haunches monolithically as a part of slab system, unless otherwise shown on Drawings or Specifications. Beams, girders or slabs supported by columns or walls shall not be cast or erected until concrete in vertical support members is no longer plastic. Spacing: 1. 2. Space control joints in slab on grade at 6 m maximum interval on both directions. The resulting concrete panel shall be approximately square. In concrete walls having frequent openings, spacing control joints 6000 mm apart is considered maximum. Spacing in walls without windows shall not be more than 7500 mm and a joint within 3000 mm of each corner is desirable. Vertical construction joint spacing in concrete walls shall not be more than 12 m and shall be located within the middle third of the span between columns.

PART 3 - EXECUTION 3.1 INSTALLATION A. B. General: Conform to the manufacturer's instructions and recommendations. Cutting, Fitting and Placement: 1. Perform the cutting, drilling and fitting required for the installation of the items. Set the work accurately in location, alignment and elevation plumb, level, true, measured from established lines and levels. Provide temporary bracing or anchors in formwork for items which are to be built into concrete, masonry or similar construction. Install joint cover assemblies in true alignment. Set floor covers at elevations to be flush with adjacent finished floor materials. Locate wall, cleaning and soffit covers in continuous contact with adjacent surfaces. Securely attach in place using the required accessories. Locate anchors approximately 75 mm from each end, 300 mm on the center between ends for the set screws and 450 mm on the center between ends for other fasteners, unless closer spacing is recommended by the manufacturer. Hold end joints to the minimum. Make end joints using strong, rigid, mechanical splice plate in true alignment, with hairline joints.
