E <br />n. <br />B. Reinforced concrete shall conform to ACI Specification 318 -89 or latest revision. <br />C. Field testing and inspection services required will be provided by the Contractor. <br />Cost of such work, except as specifically stated otherwise, will be paid for by the <br />Contractor. Methods of test will comply in detail with the latest applicable ASTM <br />Methods of Testing. <br />D. Samples of constituents and of concrete as placed will be subjected to laboratory <br />tests. Materials incorporated in the work shall conform to approved samples. <br />E. Under special circumstances, the Engineer may allow minor deviations from the <br />material requirements specified, provided the resulting concrete quality is not <br />adversely affected or provided a suitable adjustment in cement content is made to <br />compensate for such deviations without cost to the Owner. <br />1.05 SUBMITTALS <br />A. Submit, as provided in the General Conditions and Section 01340, shop drawings <br />showing placement of forms, form joints, major inserts and blockouts. <br />1.06 QUALITY ASSURANCE <br />A. The actual acceptance of aggregates and development of mix proportions to <br />produce concrete conforming to the specific requirements shall be determined by <br />means of prior laboratory tests made by the Concrete Supplier or the Contractor at <br />his expense with the constituents to be used on the work. <br />B. The Concrete Supplier shall submit through the Contractor to the Engineer for <br />approval the concrete mix he intends to use, designed within the limits of these <br />specifications, listing the brand of cement, source and results of tests of <br />aggregates and admixtures not later than 14 days prior to the beginning of placing <br />concrete. <br />C. The limiting strengths, water - cement ratios and cement factors as shown on (Table <br />A) shall apply. Maximum water - cement ( # / #) for structures shall be 0.53 by weight. <br />*Maximum; decrease if possible. This represents total water in mix at time of <br />mixing, including free water on aggregates, and water in admixture solution. <br />* *Minimum; increase as necessary to meet other requirements. These cement <br />factors apply to "controlled" concrete subject to specific inspection. <br />03300 -2 03 -4197 <br />TABLE A <br />Minimum <br />Maximum Net <br />Minimum <br />Comp.
