    4.3.12.6 Consistency: Tandard Onstruction Specifications Oads

    Uploaded by

    HafnazSabeer
    This document provides specifications for slip-formed concrete used in roads and includes requirements for water content, slump, and placement time and temperature. Water added during placement cannot exceed the maximum water-cement ratio and must meet consistency requirements, with frequent slump and air/temperature tests. The maximum slump depends on the type of concrete but generally ranges from 90 to 230 mm. Concrete must be placed within set time limits of 0.5 to 2 hours depending on temperature, and remain between 10-32°C during precast concrete curing.

    STANDARD CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATIONS PART 1 – ROADS

    For slip-formed concrete, water may be added during placement but shall not exceed the maximum
    water cement ratio in the mix design, and shall meet the requirements for consistency as described
    in Article 4.3.12.6. If water is added in concrete used in slip forming, an air and temperature test shall
    be taken prior to resuming placement to ensure that specification conformance has been maintained.
    Frequent tests, including the slump test, shall be carried out to ensure that consistent water content
    is maintained.

    4.3.12.6 Consistency
    Slump shall not exceed the allowable range identified herein. Slump tests shall be performed in
    accordance with AASHTO T 119M or ASTM C143M. Maximum slump for concrete should be as
    indicated in Table 4-26, unless otherwise approved by the engineer.
    Table 4-26: Maximum slump for concrete

    Maximum Slump with a


    Condition Maximum Slump
    High-Range Water Reducer
    Vibrated Class C25 or stronger concrete 90 mm 140 mm*
    All other vibrated concrete 115 mm 165 mm
    Non-vibrated concrete 180 mm 230 mm
    Pipe and utility bedding and cases where 230 mm NA
    water reducer is used per Section 4.3.6
    Concrete placed in kerbs, gutters, and 140 mm 190 mm
    sidewalks
    *Some mixes with combinations of mineral/chemical additives may produce slumps higher than this value
    while meeting the other specified performance values. Approval for this case will be based on review and
    acceptance of trial mixes.

    Concrete transport and placement equipment shall be shaded or wrapped, as necessary, to prevent
    loss of slump and workability during high temperature conditions.

    4.3.12.7 Temperature and Time for Placement of Concrete


    Temperature and time for placement of concrete shall meet the requirements of Table 4-27.
    Table 4-27: Acceptable time and temperature limits for placement of concrete

    Time to Completely Discharge Batch of Concrete Allowable Concrete


    (Measured from time cement added to concrete mixture) Temperature Range

    0 to 1.5 hours maximum 12° C to 32° C


    1.5 hours to 1.75 hours maximum 12° C to 24° C
    1.75 hours to 2 hours maximum with the Engineer’s approval 12° C to 24° C

    Time to discharge may be extended upon written request from the Contractor. This time extension
    shall be considered on a case-by-case basis and requires the use of specific retardation admixtures
    and the approval of the Engineer.
    When conditions are such that the concrete may experience an accelerated initial set, the Engineer
    may require a shorter time to discharge.
    Precast concrete that is heat-cured per Article 4.4.84.4.8.3 shall remain between 10° C and 32o C
    while being placed.
