1. 2013 C&MS Section 500- Structures Changes from 2010 to 2013 Construction and Materials Specifications in Structures Items

2. 2013 C&MS Section 500- Structures 501.04- Shop Drawings A.Contractor Acceptance of Shop Drawings for Items 513 and 515 Two Ohio Registered Engineers seal and sign each drawing. ODOT’s Office of Materials Management is not rating shop drawings for Structural Steel (Supplement 1078) and Pre-stressed Concrete (Supplement 1079) fabricators.

3. 501.05 Submittal of Working Drawings and Calculations Working drawings are required from the Contractor when there is: Excavation Bracing, impacting active traffic, or with an exposed height over eight feet, except when a complete design is already shown in the plans. 3 2013 C&MS Section 500- Structures

4. 503.09 Method of Measurement has been changed. The Department now has the option of measuring excavation on a Lump Sum basis or by the number of Cubic Yards (Cubic Meters), instead of only by the number of Cubic Yards (Cubic Meters).

11. 2013 C&MS Section 500- Structures 511.03 – Concrete At least 10 days before placing concrete, submit, the Department accepted Job Mix Formula (JMF) to the Engineer. The Engineer will review the mix design.

12. 2013 C&MS Section 500- Structures 511.04-Quality Control Requirements When the concrete bid item requires QC/QA, develop and submit a Quality Control plan (QCP) for the work and perform quality control testing of the concrete conforming to Item 455. The Engineer will perform Quality Assurance conforming to 455.

13. 2013 C&MS Section 500- Structures Mass Concrete Requirements For concrete components with a minimum dimension of 5-ft or greater, or for drilled shafts with a dimension of 7-ft diameter or greater, develop a concrete mix design QC-4 for mass concrete according to 499.03.

14. 2013 C&MS Section 500- Structures Mass Concrete Requirements Submit a Thermal Control Plan (TCP) along with the approved JMF (s) to the Engineer for acceptance with highest maximum internal concrete temperature ≤ 160⁰ F (71⁰ C) maximum differential concrete temperature ≤ 36⁰ F (20⁰ C) (not applicable for drilled shafts), over 28 days from time of placement.

15. 2013 C&MS Section 500- Structures Mass Concrete Requirements As an alternative, the Contractor may propose maximum differential temperature limits based on strength gain with time. TCP for alternative proposal shall include the methods for determining the temperature and supporting data, calculations and design.

16. 2013 C&MS Section 500- Structures Mass Concrete Requirements Any in-place mass concrete that exceeded the temperature limits or cracked, is considered defective. Submit a proposed repair plan to the Engineer. The Department will determine if the proposed repair methods are acceptable or if removal is required.

17. 2013 C&MS Section 500- Structures 511.10 Placing Concrete Conform to the following tolerances from plan dimensions: 2012 C&MS Section 50017 Deviation from plumb for exposed surfaces ± ¾ inch (19 mm) Vertical alignment (Deviation from a line parallel to the grade line) ± ½ inch in 20 feet (13 mm in 6 m) Longitudinal alignment (Deviation from a line parallel to the centerline or baseline) ±½ inch in 20 feet (13 mm in 6 m) Width dimensions of walls for exposed surfaces ±½ inch (13 mm) Bridge Slab thickness±¼ inch (6 mm) Elevations of beam seats ±1/8 inch (3 mm) Slope, Vertical Deviation from Plane ±0.2% Slope, Horizontal Deviation from Plane ±0.4%

18. 2013 C&MS Section 500- Structures 511.14- Curing and Loading Remove falsework and open structures to traffic when concrete has reached strength specified in Table 511.14-1A for concrete bid items requiring QC/QA.

Reapply the curing compound after removing standing water, within 12 hours after sawing grooves in the deck, if the grooves were sawed after applying the curing compound and the concrete deck is less than 30 days old.

22. 2013 C&MS Section 500- Structures 511.17- Bridge Deck Grooving Do not saw 9 to 12 inches from any devices in a bridge deck, such as scuppers or expansion joints. Do not saw a minimum of 2 inches to a maximum of 24 inches from skewed expansion joints. Maintain a clearance of 2 inches to 4 inches from the grooves to longitudinal joints in the deck.

23. 2013 C&MS Section 500- Structures 511.17- Bridge Deck Grooving Maintain a clearance of a minimum of 9 inches to a maximum of 30 inches from the grooves to the curbs or parapets. No un-grooved portions of deck beyond edge line and into the temporary or permanent travelled lanes. Saw grooves in a uniform pattern spaced at 3/4 inch, approximately 0.15 inches deep and 0.10 inches wide.

24. 2013 C&MS Section 500- Structures 512 ITEM TREATING CONCRETE 512.10 Basis of Payment: The Department will consider the removal of dust, dirt, oil, wax, curing compounds, efflorescence, laitance, and other foreign materials as incidental to the surface preparation of the concrete surfaces to be sealed. When the surface to be sealed contains an existing coating, the Department will consider all materials, equipment, and labor to remove the existing coatings, as incidental to the removal of existing coatings. 2. ** NEW ** Item 512 - Removal of Existing Coatings from Concrete Surfaces. This item was previously in Proposal Note 552. (2010). Remove existing coatings completely Designers need to calculate the area of existing coating to be removed. 24

25. 2013 C&MS Section 500- Structures 518 DRAINAGE OF STRUCTURES 518.05 Porous Backfill: Revised section so that backfill shall be placed at least 2 feet thick, instead of 18 inches thick, behind the full length of abutments, wingwalls, and retaining walls. Also, it is now required that porous backfill be placed for the full width of the trench and extend to the bottom of the approach slab or base, as shown in the plans. It is now required to place 2 Cu. Ft. of bagged No. 3 aggregate at each weep hole to retain the Porous Backfill. 25
