**************************************************************************
NOTE: This guide specification is for use in
preparation and review of project specifications for
embankments and concrete structures placed on rock
foundations, including rock surface cleanup
operations and all operations on the rock surface to
make that surface acceptable for the placement of
embankment or concrete. This section is not
complete, but should normally be incorporated into
the sections EXCAVATION, EMBANKMENT, and/or
CONCRETE, or a separate section on FOUNDATION
PREPARATION may be included in the project
specifications. This guide specification is to be
used in the preparation of project specification in
accordance with ER 1110-2-1200 and ER 1110-2-1201.
PART 1 GENERAL
1.1 REFERENCES
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Issue (date) of references included in
project specifications need not be more current than
provided by the latest change (Notice) to this guide
specification.
**************************************************************************
**************************************************************************
NOTE: If Section 01270 MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT is
included in the project specifications, this
paragraph title (UNIT PRICES) should be deleted from
this section and the remaining appropriately edited
subparagraphs below should be inserted into Section
01270.
**************************************************************************
1.2.1.1 Payment
Payment will be made for costs for each preliminary cleanup satisfactorily
performed at the direction of the Contracting Officer. Payment will be
made for each cleanup of the same area if more than one cleanup has been
directed and satisfactorily performed.
1.2.1.2 Measurement
1.2.2.1 Payment
Payment will be made for costs associated with final cleanup of the area
[for each type of foundation preparation] that has been satisfactorily
prepared. Where preliminary cleanup has been directed and performed and
the contractor subsequently performs final cleanup, payment will be made
for preliminary cleanup. Payment will not be made for any cleanup
subsequent to final cleanup.
1.2.2.2 Measurement
Final cleanup will be measured for payment by determining the area cleaned
to the nearest square meter yard.
1.2.3.1 Payment
1.2.3.2 Measurement
1.2.4.1 Payment
Payment will be made for costs associated with dental concrete placed.
1.2.4.2 Measurement
1.2.5.1 Payment
Payment will be made for costs associated with dental mortar placed.
1.2.5.2 Measurement
Dental mortar will be measured for payment by determining the volume to the
nearest one-tenth cubic meter yard.

1.3 DEFINITIONS
1.3.1 Foundations
Rock joints are all planar and/or curvilinear fractures, including cracks,
crevices, and seams which separate a rock mass into individual rock blocks
of various sizes. They may be open or closed and may be filled with
material other than rock material.
1.4 SUBMITTALS
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Submittals must be limited to those necessary
for adequate quality control. The importance of an
item on the project should be one of the primary
factors in determining if a submittal for the items
should be required.

PART 3 EXECUTION
3.1 EXAMINATION
The limits of the proposed foundations for the various parts of the work
are approximately as indicated. The Contracting Officer reserves the right
to change the depth to, or the width of, the foundations if, conditions
exposed in the foundation excavations, or as determined by exploratory
drilling, warrant such modifications.
3.2 PREPARATION
3.2.1 Equipment
3.2.1.1 Tools
When the excavation has reached the approximate limits shown or when the
Contracting Officer determines that a satisfactory foundation may have been
reached, the Contracting Officer may direct that a preliminary cleanup be
performed on all or any part of the rock foundation surface. This cleanup
shall consist of removing all debris, loose rock, sand, silt, and other
objectionable material by hand tools followed by [air] [water] [air/water]
jets or any combination of additional methods approved or directed. The
Contracting Officer may require that the excavation be continued and the
preliminary cleanup procedure repeated until a satisfactory foundation
surface is reached.
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Insert a description of the areas to receive
(this type) foundation preparation.
**************************************************************************
NOTE: If a schedule is not provided, a description
of the areas to receive dental treatment, and the
minimum width joint to be treated should be
included. For embankment dams, the minimum width
joint to be treated depends on the gradation of the
embankment material that will be placed against the
joint (see EM 1110-2-2300).
**************************************************************************
Joints and cavities shall be excavated to a depth [3] [_____] times the
width (measured at the base of the excavation) of the joint or cavity.
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Normally the concrete specification will be
included in Division 3, Concrete. When Division 3
would not otherwise be included, and only small
quantities will be needed, the ASTM alternate may be
used. The maximum aggregate size in dental concrete
should not be more than one third the minimum widths
of joints in which it is to be used.
**************************************************************************
cured for a period of at least [_____].] The mortar shall conform with
paragraph MATERIALS.
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Insert here a description of the areas to be
protected, and the type(s) of protection to be used.
If more than one type of protection is specified,
it should be clear which method(s) is (are) required
for each area. If the choice of methods is optional
with the contractor that should be stated. Care
should be used when selecting protective measures.
Not all methods are suitable in all situations or
with all types of rock. Of the following
paragraphs, only those methods specified should be
included.
**************************************************************************
3.6.1 Wetting
3.6.2 Shotcrete
**************************************************************************
NOTE: See ACI 506.2 for additional options that may
be specified and for guidance on their use. The
first alternate should be used if shotcrete is being
used for other purposes on the job, or if a
different shotcrete specification is appropriate.
