PART 2 - PRODUCTS 2.1 MATERIALS A. B. Materials used shall conform to the requirements of Section 03200 CONCRETE REINFORCEMENT and Section 03300 - CAST-IN-PLACE CONCRETE. Precast Concrete Curbs: 1. Construction: Manufacture precast curbs conforming to SASO 1248 and 1249 fabricated of Class 30 concrete conforming to the requirements of DIVISION 3 CONCRETE using Type V Portland cement conforming to SASO 143 or ASTM C 150. Dimensions: As indicated on Drawings. Fabrication: Concrete curbs shall be manufactured by hydraulic pressing in an approved machine using concrete produced in a fully automatic batching plant. Finished elements shall be of sound appearance with clean planar faces, free from segregation, honeycombing, pits, broken corners and other defects. Bullnoses and curved faces shall be of constant radius with a smooth change from radius to plan face. Manufacturing tolerances shall be 3 mm in any one dimension and end faces shall be truly perpendicular to the base.

Precast Concrete Wheel Stoppers: 1. Construction: Manufactured from 30 MPa concrete using type I cement conforming to the requirements of DIVISION 3 - CONCRETE. Size and shape shall be as shown on the Drawings or as approved by the Engineer. Provide the finished elements with sound appearance and clean planar faces, free from segregation, honeycombing, pits, broken corners and other defects. Grout: As approved by the Engineer. a. Construction: High strength, non-shrink cementitious grout, ready-touse, supplied in powder form and requires only on-site addition of water to produce non-shrink grout of predictable performance.

PART 3 - EXECUTION 3.1 INSTALLATION A. B. Elements shall be set out to lines and grades as shown. Under no circumstances shall levels be set by direct measurement. Foundation shall be excavated to the grades and sections shown and fully compacted and rolled to a smooth surface. Concrete shall not be placed until the foundation has been approved. Elements shall be laid either directly on a wet concrete base or on 1-3 cement-sand mortar bed, 20 mm thick on a previously laid concrete base. Base shall be constructed of Class 20 concrete conforming to the requirements of Section 03300-CAST-IN-PLACE CONCRETE. After elements have been laid, continuous concrete backing shall be poured. Backing concrete shall be of Class 20 conforming to the requirements of Section 03300 - CAST-IN-PLACE CONCRETE. Joints between curbs and paving tiles shall have a width of 4 mm, filled with 1-1 cement-sand mortar with one fifth hydrated lime and sufficient water to make the mixture plastic and easily smoothed and finished. A grooving tool shall be used to produce a smooth semi-circular groove not more than 3 mm deep in all joints. Precast Concrete Wheel Stoppers: Unless otherwise indicated on Drawings, secure wheel stops to the asphalt concrete surfaces using 19 mm diameter galvanized steel dowels embedded in precast units (minimum 2 dowels/unit). Adjust length of dowels so as not to penetrate the precast double-tee structures. Grout dowels using the approved cementitious grout.
