d. Exposed concrete slabs shall be sealed or sealed and hardened using a liquid compound compatible with the curing method used as described in: 3.7 Curing, Protection, Liquid Hardeners and Sealers of this Section.

3.6 CURING, PROTECTION, LIQUID HARDENERS AND SEALERS
A. Curing Compound

1. All curing methods shall be placed immediately after final finishing (i.e., within two hours).

Contractor's attention is directed to the fact that experience shows the most important time of curing is from three to four hours after placing and extending five to six hours thereafter.

It is extremely important, therefore, to prevent loss of moisture, particularly during this period when concrete is especially vulnerable to plastic shrinkage cracks. All exposed surfaces of concrete including floor slabs, whether or not they receive a finish flooring, shall be protected from premature drying for a minimum of seven days.

2. Apply the specified curing compound in strict accordance with manufacturer’s written instructions. Curing compound shall not be diluted by the addition of solvents or thinners, nor shall it be altered in any other manner. Curing compound that has become chilled and is too viscous for satisfactory application shall be heated by steam or hot water bath until it has proper fluidity. The temperature of the compound shall not exceed 100 ºF. Curing compound shall not be heated by direct exposure of the container to fire.

3. When used on an unformed concrete surface, application of the first coat of curing compound shall commence immediately after finishing operations have been completed.

When curing compound is used on a formed concrete surface, the surface shall first be moistened with a fine spray of water immediately after the forms have been removed. The spray shall be continued until the surface does not readily absorb further water. As soon as the surface film of water has disappeared and the surface is almost dry, the first coat of curing compound shall be applied. In the event that application is delayed on either formed or unformed surfaces, the surface shall be kept continuously moist until the compound has been applied or the specified period of water curing has elapsed.

4. Surfaces shall be sprayed uniformly with 2 coats of curing compound. Each coat shall provide a minimum coverage of 1 gallon per 250 square feet of surface. As soon as the first coat has become dry, a second coat shall be applied in the same manner. The direction

SECTION 03 3000

CAST-IN-PLACE CONCRETE
City of Montebello 03 3000 - 16
Fire Stations 56
Renovation
of application of the second coat shall be perpendicular to the first coat. The curing compound shall be sprayed using approved pneumatic or pump driven equipment having the following characteristics:
a. Separate lines to the nozzle for material and for compressed air b. A filtering system for the removal or entrapment of contaminants c. A constant application pressure

5. Curing compound shall not be used on any concrete surface specified to receive additional concrete, coatings, grout, and chemical treatment
B. Protection

1. The contractor shall allow no traffic and take precautions to avoid damage to the membrane of the curing compound for a period of not less than 28 days. Damage shall be repaired immediately to the satisfaction of the Engineer.

2. Special care shall be taken to prevent avoid damaging the surfaces and joints due to load stresses from construction equipment, heavy shock, and excessive vibration. During construction activities, concrete shall be protected against damage with plywood or other approved materials until final acceptance by the Engineer.

C. All floor slabs shall be cured using products and methods compatible with selected floor adhesives, toppings, and other finish materials.

D. Sealing Coat: Uniformly apply a continuous sealing coat of curing and sealing compound to hardened concrete by power spray or roller according to manufacturer’s written instruction.

3.7 PATCHING AND REPAIR
A. Concrete will be considered by the Engineer as not conforming to the intent of the drawings and specifications for the following reasons:

1. Concrete is not formed as shown on the drawings.

2. Concrete is not in true alignment or level.

3. Concrete which exhibits a defective surface.

4. Concrete with defects that reduce the structural integrity of a member or members.

5. Concrete jointed slabs with uncontrolled random cracking.

B. Non-conforming concrete to required thickness, lines, details, and elevations will be rejected by the Engineer and shall be modified or replaced with concrete that conforms to the contract requirements without a claim by the Contractor for additional cost or extension of contract time.

C. Do not patch, fill, touch-up, repair, or replace exposed concrete except upon express direction of City Engineer for each individual area. Should the City Engineer grant permission for the Contractor to attempt restoration of a defective area by patching or other repair methods, such permission shall not be considered a waiver of the Engineer’s right to require complete removal of the defective area if, in the Engineer’s opinion, the restoration does not provide the structural or aesthetic integrity of the member or members.

D. All repairs of defective areas shall conform to ACI 301. On areas requiring treatment of defects and until such repairs have been completed, only water cure will be permitted E. At any time prior to final acceptance, concrete found to be defective, damaged, or not in accordance with the specifications shall be repaired or removed and replaced with acceptable concrete.
