12.2 MATERIALS 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A. Reinforcing Bars: ASTM A615, Grade 60, deformed billet steel bars of a USA manufacturer. B. Welded Wire Fabric: ASTM A185, galvanized. C. Metal Bar Supports: CRSI MSP-2, Chapter 3, Class 2, Type B, Stainless Steel Protected Bar Supports. D. Coupler Splice Devices: Cadweld tension couplers capable of developing the ultimate strength of the bar, as manufactured by Erico Products, Incorporated, Solon, Ohio, or equal where acceptable to the County.

102.3 FABRICATION 11 12 13 14 15 16 A. Fabrication shall meet all requirements of the specified standards. Unless otherwise indicated, the following shall apply: 1. Hooks shall be standard hooks. 2. Bottom bars shall extend a minimum of 6-inches into supporting members. 3. Minimum cover shall be measured to the outermost stirrup, tie or bar. 4.

17PART 3 - EXECUTION 183.1 INSTALLATION 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 A. Supporting Reinforcing: Bar supports shall be provided as required by CRSI MSP-2 and AC1315. Top and bottom bars in slabs formed on earth shall be supported on precast concrete block supports except where such bars are properly supported from formwork. Precast concrete block supports are not required in slabs formed on tremie concrete but may be used at the Contractor's option. B. Placing Reinforcing: Placing of reinforcing steel and welded wire fabric shall conform to CRSI MSP-2, ACI 315, and the Drawings. Reinforcing shall be securely tied and supported to prevent displacement during concrete placement. C. Welded Wire Fabric: Splices in welded wire fabric shall be such that the overlap between outermost cross wires of each fabric sheet is not less than the spacing of the cross wires, plus 2-inches. Fabric shall not be extended through expansion joints or construction joints in slabs on grade except as otherwise indicated on the Drawings. D. Coupler Splice: Unless indicated on the Drawings or where conventional lap splices cannot be achieved, full positive tension connections shall be provided. Such devices shall be installed in accordance with the recommendations of the manufacturer.
