Set drill to "rotation only" mode, or to "rotation plus hammer" mode in accordance with the manufacturer's installation instructions and the requirements of the Evaluation Report.
c. Where edge distances are less than 2 inches and "rotation plus hammer" mode is permitted, use lighter impact equipment to prevent micro-cracking and concrete spalling during the drilling process.
2. Drill bits: Carbide-tipped in accordance with ANSI B212-15 unless otherwise recommended by the manufacturer or required as a "condition of use" in the Evaluation Report.
a. Hollow drill bits with flushing air systems are preferred. Air supplied to hollow drill bits shall be free of oil, water, or other contaminants that will reduce bond.

2. Avoid drilling an excessive number of holes in an area of a structural member, which would excessively weaken the member and endanger the stability of the structure.
3. When existing reinforcing steel is encountered during drilling and when specifically accepted by Engineer, enlarge the hole by 1/8 inch, core through the existing reinforcing steel at the larger diameter, and resume drilling at original hole diameter using pneumatic rotary impact drill.
4. Bent bar reinforcing bars: Where edge distances are critical, and interference with existing reinforcing steel is likely, if acceptable to Engineer, drill hole at 10 degree (or less) angle from axis of reinforcing bar or all thread rod being installed.
F. Cleaning holes:
1. Insert air nozzle to bottom of hole and blow out loose dust. a. Use compressed air that is free of oil, water, or other contaminants that will reduce bond.
b. Provide minimum air pressure of 90 pounds per square inch for not less than 4 seconds.
2. Using a stiff bristle brush with diameter that provides contact around the full perimeter of the hole, vigorously brush hole to dislodge compacted drilling dust.
a. Insert brush to the bottom of the hole and withdraw using a simultaneous twisting motion.
b. Repeat at least 4 times.
3. Repeat the preceding steps as required to remove drilling dust or other material that will reduce bond, and in the number of cycles required by the MPII and the Evaluation Report.
4. Leave prepared holes clean and dry.

3. Organize and submit mix designs with data on all constituent materials and products for that mix, for Engineer's review.
4. Do not place concrete until the mix design for that Concrete Class has been accepted by Engineer.
5. After acceptance, do not modify accepted mixes or provide new mixes without Engineer's prior review and acceptance of the proposed alternative. a. Exception: At all times, adjust batching of water to compensate for free moisture content of the fine aggregate used.
b. For any change to approved mixes, Engineer may require new trial batching and testing program as specified in this Section before acceptance and use.

d. If there is change in source or quality of any constituent of the concrete class or mix, the revised mix will be considered a new class of concrete and shall require full re-submittal of all data describing mix constituents, design, and testing.
6. Material sampling, mix designs, trial batch preparation and testing, modifications to mix designs, and any re-testing required to satisfy the requirements of this Section or to obtain satisfactory performance shall be at Contractor's expense and shall not be considered cause for delay.
B. Measurements of materials:
1. Measure materials by weighing, except as otherwise specified or where other methods are specifically authorized in writing by the Engineer.
2. Furnish apparatus for weighing aggregates and cementitious materials that is suitably designed and constructed for this purpose.
3. Accuracy of weighing devices: Furnish devices that have capability of providing successive quantities of individual material that can be measured to within 1 percent of desired amount of that material.
4. Measuring or weighing devices: Subject to review by the Engineer. Shall bear valid seal of the Sealer of Weights and Measures having jurisdiction.
5. Weighing cementitious materials:
a. Weigh cementitious materials separately.
b. Cement in unbroken standard packages (sacks): Need not be weighed. c. Weigh bulk cementitious materials and fractional packages.
6. Measure mixing water by volume or by weight.
C. Requirements for mix proportioning:
1. Develop and provide mixes that:
a. Can be readily worked into corners and angles of forms and around reinforcement, without excessive vibration, and without permitting materials to segregate or free water to collect on surface. b. Prevent unnecessary or haphazard changes in the consistency of the concrete supplied.
2. Constituent materials:
a. Provide concrete mixes composed of Portland cement, blended aggregates, admixtures and water.
1) Admixtures required for each concrete class are indicated in Table 3 of this Section. Admixtures not specifically required by that table for a specific Concrete Class are optional and may be included at the discretion of the Contractor based on Contractor's planned means and methods of construction.
b. In no case shall returned fresh concrete or its constituents be incorporated into concrete batched for the Work.
3. Minimum specified compressive strength:
a. Minimum specified compressive strength is designated at 28 days, unless otherwise indicated in Table 3 of this Section.
b. For locations where the placed concrete is adequately protected and is not subjected to loads for an extended period during construction, the Contractor may request that the period for achieving the minimum specified compressive strength be extended to 56 days. If accepted by the

4. Proportions and consistency:
a. Ratio of water to cementitious materials, and cementitious materials content:
1) Conform to maximum and minimum cementitious material content requirements specified in Table 3 of this Section.
2) Cementitious materials content: Consisting of Portland cement as indicated in Table 3 of this Section, plus supplemental cementitious materials if aggregate testing indicates potentially reactive aggregates:
a) Fly ash content:
(1) Minimum: 15 percent of the total weight of cementitious materials.
(2) Maximum: 25 percent of the total weight of cementitious materials.
b) Slag cement content:
(1) Minimum: 20 percent of the total weight of cementitious materials.
(2) Maximum: 30 of the total weight of cementitious materials. b. Aggregate size and content:
1) Blend aggregates to produce an optimized gradation that combines well-graded coarse, intermediate, and fine aggregates in proportions that maximize the aggregate content of the mix, and that minimize the cement paste content of the mix.
a) Percentage of individual fractions of the combined aggregate gradation retained on individual sieve sizes: Within the range shown in Attachment C - Combined Aggregate Gradation Chart ("Tarantula Curve").
b) Sum of the percentages of individual fractions retained on the No. 8, No. 16, and No. 30 sieves: Greater than 20 percent. c) Sum of the percentages of individual fractions retained on the No. 30, No. 50, No. 100, and No. 200 sieves: Within the range of 25 percent to 40 percent.
c. Determine bulk density and void content of the combined gradation of aggregates in accordance with ASTM C29. Results for combined aggregates shall not be the summation of results of testing of the individual gradations.
1) Sample the combined aggregate from a flowing aggregate stream or conveyor in accordance with ASTM D75. Take care to ensure that the sample is representative of the proportions of the combined aggregate of the proposed mix.
2) Reduce sample of combined aggregate to test sample size in accordance with ASTM C702, Method A - mechanical splitter or Method B - quartering.
3) Perform bulk density test of combined aggregate in accordance with ASTM C29, Procedure A - rodding.
4) Determine void content of the combined aggregate in accordance with ASTM C29, Procedure A - rodding. Specific gravity of the combined aggregate shall be determined in accordance with ASTM C136.
