1.2 SUBMITTALS

Contracting Officer approval is required for submittals with a "GA" designation;


submittals having an "FIO" designation are for information only. The following
shall be submitted in accordance with Section 01300 SUBMITTAL
PROCEDURES:

SD-04 Drawings

Concrete Reinforcement System; GA.

Detail drawings showing reinforcing steel sizes, grades, splicing and bending
details.

SD-13 Certificates

Reinforcing Steel; FIO.

Certified copies of mill reports attesting that the reinforcing steel furnished meets
the requirements specified, prior to the installation of reinforcing steel.

1.3 DELIVERY AND STORAGE

Reinforcement and accessories shall be stored off the ground on platforms, skids, or
other supports.

PART 2 PRODUCTS

2.1 REINFORCING STEEL

Reinforcing steel shall be deformed bars conforming to ASTM A 615 or ASTM A


706, grades and sizes as indicated. Cold drawn wire used for spiral reinforcement
shall conform to ASTM A 82.

2.2 WELDED WIRE FABRIC

CONCRETE REINFORCEMENT 03200 - 2/5


Specification

Welded wire fabric shall conform to ASTM A 185 or ASTM A 497.

2.3 WIRE TIES

Wire ties shall be 16 gauge (1.58 mm diameter) or heavier black annealed steel
wire.

2.4 SUPPORTS

Bar supports for formed surfaces shall be designed and fabricated in accordance
with CRSI MSP-1 and shall be steel or precast concrete blocks. Precast concrete
blocks shall have wire ties and shall be not less than 100 by 100 mm when
supporting reinforcement on ground. Precast concrete block shall have compressive
strength equal to that of the surrounding concrete. Where concrete formed surfaces
will be exposed to weather or where surfaces are to be painted, steel supports
within 13 mm of concrete surface shall be galvanized, plastic protected or of
stainless steel. Concrete supports used in concrete exposed to view shall have the
same color and texture as the finish surface. For slabs on grade, supports shall be
precast concrete blocks, plastic coated steel fabricated with bearing plates, or
specifically designed wire-fabric supports fabricated of plastic.

PART 3 - EXECUTION

3.1 REINFORCEMENT

Reinforcement shall be fabricated to shapes and dimensions shown and shall


conform to the requirements of ACI 318/318R. Reinforcement shall be cold bent
unless otherwise authorized. Bending may be accomplished in the field or at the
mill. Bars shall not be bent after embedment in concrete. Safety caps shall be
placed on all exposed ends of vertical concrete reinforcement bars that pose a
danger to life safety. Wire tie ends shall face away or shall be 10mm from the
forms.

3.1.1 Placement

Reinforcement shall be free from loose rust and scale, dirt, oil, or other deleterious
coating that could reduce bond with the concrete. Reinforcement shall be placed in
accordance with ACI 318/318R at locations shown plus or minus one bar diameter.
Reinforcement shall not be continuous through expansion joints and shall be as
indicated through construction or contraction joints. Concrete coverage shall be as
indicated or as required by ACI 318/318R. If bars are moved more than one bar
diameter to avoid interference with other reinforcement, conduits or embedded
items, the resulting arrangement of bars, including additional bars required to meet
structural requirements, shall be approved before concrete is placed.

CONCRETE REINFORCEMENT 03200 - 3/5


Specification

3.1.2 Splicing

Splices of reinforcement shall conform to ACI 318/318R and shall be made only as
required or indicated. Splicing shall be by lapping unless otherwise indicated.
Lapped bars shall be placed in contact and securely tied or spaced transversely
apart to permit the embedment of the entire surface of each bar in concrete. Lapped
bars shall not be spaced farther apart than one-fifth the required length of lap or 150
mm.

3.2 WELDED-WIRE FABRIC

Welded-wire fabric shall be placed in slabs as indicated. Fabric placed in slabs on


grade shall be continuous between expansion, construction, and contraction joints.
Fabric placement at joints shall be as indicated. Lap splices shall be made in such a
way that the overlapped area equals the distance between the outermost crosswires
plus 50 mm. Laps shall be staggered to avoid continuous laps in either direction.
Fabric shall be wired or clipped together at laps at intervals not to exceed 1.2 m.
Fabric shall be positioned by the use of supports.
