1.5.

3 Concrete Proportion

Base the selection of proportions for concrete on the methodology


presented in ACI 211.1 for normal weight concrete and ACI 211.2 for
lightweight concrete. Develop the concrete proportion using the same type
and brand of cement, the same type and gradation of aggregates, and the
same type and brand of admixture that will be used in the manufacture of
precast concrete units for the project. Do not use calcium chloride in
precast concrete and admixtures containing chloride ions, nitrates, or
other substances that are corrosive will not be used in prestressed
concrete.

1.5.4 Design Calculations

Calculations for design of members, connections and embedments not shown


must be made by a registered professional engineer experienced in the
design of precast architectural concrete. Calculation will include the
analysis of member for lifting stresses and the sizing of the lifting
inserts. Submit calculations for review and approval prior to
fabrication, signed and sealed by the registered design professional who
prepared the design.

1.5.5 Thermal Calculations

Submit thermal calculations prepared and sealed by a registered


professional engineer for review complying with ASHRAE 90.1 - SI
ASHRAE 90.1 - IP, for the steady state thermal resistance for the precast
concrete wall panels. Thermal calculations must demonstrate the thermal
conductivity of all components, the spacing of all connectors, the percent
area of the wall that is solid concrete, and the thermal resistance of all
components.

1.6 DELIVERY, STORAGE, AND HANDLING

Deliver packaged materials, except for wall panels, to the project site in
the original, unbroken packages or containers, each bearing a label
clearly identifying manufacturer's name, brand name, weight or volume, and
other pertinent information. Store packaged materials, and materials in
containers, in a weathertight and dry place until ready for use.

Store products in manufacturer's unopened packaging in dry storage area,


with ambient temperature between minus 1 degree C and 41 degrees C 30
degrees F and 120 degrees F, until installation.

1.7 STORAGE AND INSPECTION AT MANUFACTURER'S PLANT

Protect precast units temporarily stored at the manufacturer's plant from


damage in accordance with PCI MNL-117 and PCI MNL-122. Immediately prior
to shipment to the jobsite, all precast concrete units must be inspected
for quality to insure all precast units conform to the requirements
specified. Inspection for quality will include, but will not be limited
to, the following elements: color, texture, dimensional tolerances,
chipping, cracking, staining, warping and honeycombing. Replace or repair
all defective precast concrete units as approved.

1.8 PLANT INSPECTION

[At the option of the Contracting Officer, precast units may be

SECTION 03 45 00 Page 14
inspected.] [Precast units must be inspected by the QC representative
prior to being transported to the job site.] The Contractor is to give
notice 14 days prior to the time the units will be available for plant
inspection. Neither the exercise nor waiver of inspection at the plant
will affect the Government's right to enforce contractual provisions after
units are transported or erected.

1.8.1 Fabricator Quality Certifications

Plants must be certified by the PCI Plant Certification Program for Group
A, Category A1, or Architectural Precast Association (APA) certification
or National Precast Concrete Association (NPCA). When plants are not
currently enrolled in one of the three certification programs listed above
then they must provide a product quality control system in accordance with
PCI MNL-117 and perform concrete and aggregate quality control testing
using an approved, independent commercial testing laboratory.

1.9 ERECTOR CERTIFICATION

Erector with erecting organization and all erecting crews certified and
designated by PCI's Certificate of Compliance to erect Category [A
(Architectural Systems) for non-load][S2 (Complex Structural Systems) for
load]-bearing members.

[1.10 ERECTOR QUALIFICATIONS

**************************************************************************
NOTE: Use the following paragraph when a PCI
Certified erector is not available in the project
location.
**************************************************************************

A precast erector that is not certified by PCI who retains a PCI-Certified


Field Auditor, at the erector's expense, to conduct a field audit of a
project in the same category as this project prior to start of precast
concrete erection and must submit the Erector's Post Audit Declaration to
be considered qualified.

]1.11 CONCRETE SAMPLING AND TESTING

1.11.1 Test for Concrete Materials

Sample and test concrete materials proposed for use in the work in
accordance with PCI MNL-117.

Submit reports for each material sampled and tested prior to the start of
work. Reports must contain the project name and number, date, name of
Contractor, name of precast unit manufacturer, name of concrete testing
service, source of concrete aggregates, generic name of aggregate, and
values specified.

1.11.2 Quality Control Testing During Fabrication

Sample and test concrete for quality control during fabrication as follows:

SECTION 03 45 00 Page 15
SD-11 Closeout Submittals

Concrete Batch Ticket Information; G, [_____]

Recycled Content for Fly Ash and Pozzolan; S

Recycled Content for Ground Iron Blast-Furnace Slag; S

Recycled Content for Silica Fume; S

1.3 MODIFICATION OF REFERENCES

In the referenced ACI and PCI publications, consider the advisory


provisions to be mandatory. Interpret reference to the "Building
Official," the "Structural Engineer," and the "Architect/Engineer" to mean
the Contracting Officer.

1.4 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

Precast concrete units must be designed and fabricated by an experienced


and certified precast concrete manufacturer. The manufacturer needs to
have been regularly and continuously engaged in the manufacture of precast
concrete work similar to that indicated on the drawings for at least 3
years. The Contractor must submit a statement detailing the
Manufacturer's Qualifications. Coordinate precast work with the work of
other trades.

1.5 DESIGN

1.5.1 Standards and Loads

**************************************************************************
NOTE: Design loads will be shown on the drawings.
Criteria for design loads are contained in ASCE 7-16
and UFC 3-301-07. The differential temperature of
89 degrees C 160 degrees F is based on extreme
values of 40 degrees C 40 degrees F below zero to 49
degrees C 120 degrees F above zero; it should be
used for computing volume changes due to temperature
variations. Other values, greater or smaller,
should be used instead whenever justified by
climatic conditions at the jobsite. For in-house
design delete all references to design by others.
**************************************************************************

Precast unit design must conform to ASCE 7-16, ACI 318M ACI 318 and
PCI MNL-122. Indicate design loads for precast concrete on the drawings.
A differential temperature of [89] [_____] degrees C [192] [_____] degrees
F, between interior and exterior faces of the units, must be considered in
the design. Stresses due to restrained volume change caused by shrinkage
and temperature differential, handling, transportation and erection must
be accounted for in the design.

1.5.2 Connections

Connection of units to other members, or to other units must be of the


type and configuration indicated. The design and sizing of connections
for all design loads will be completed by the Contractor.
