testing to verify compliance with specification requirements. All QC activities, calculations, and inspections will be randomly confirmed by the Department. TABLE 8 Class Concrete Maximum LOT Size I one day's production I (Pavement) 250 lane ft, or one day's production, whichever is less II, II (Bridge Deck), 1II, IV, V (Special), 50 yd3, or one day's production, whichever is less V,VI IV (Drilled Shaft) 50 yd3, or two hours between placements, whichever is less III (Seal) Each Seal placement SUBARTICLE 346-9.4 (Pages 335 - 336) is deleted and the following substituted: 346-9.4 Acceptance of Concrete: Accept or reject concrete on the basis of plastic property results in accordance with 346-6.4. Ensure that the hardened concrete strength test results are obtained in accordance with 346-9.3. Do not discard a cylinder strength test result based on low strength (strength below the specified minimum strength as per the provisions of this Section). When one of the three QC cylinders from a LOT is lost, damaged or destroyed, determination of compressive strength will be made by averaging the remaining two cylinders. If more than one QC cylinder from a LOT is lost, damaged or destroyed, the Contractor will core the structure at no additional expense to the Department to determine the compressive strength. Acceptance of LOT may be based on verification data at the discretion of the Engineer. Obtain the approval of the Engineer to core, and of the core location prior to coring. For each QC cylinder that is lost, damaged or destroyed, payment for that LOT will be reduced by $750.00 per 1,000 psi of the specified design strength [Example: loss of two Class IV (Drill Shaft) QC cylinders that has no verification data will require the element to be cored and a penalty will be assessed (4,000 psi / 1,000 psi) x $750 x 2 = $6,000. This reduction will be in addition to any pay adjustment for low strength. When QC compressive strength test results are not verified, the resolution procedure will be used to accept or reject the concrete. Maintain the "hold" cylinders until the verification of the compressive strength test results. When QC test results are verified, the Engineer will accept the concrete based on QC test results. The Engineer will accept at full pay only LOTs of concrete represented by plastic property results which meet the requirements of the approved mix design and strength test results which equal or exceed the respective specified minimum strength.
