Concrete Specifications. All concrete work shall be designed on the basis of “Strength Design” in accordance with ACI 318 “Building Code Requirements for reinforced Concrete.” Concrete work shall be proportioned in accordance with ACI 301 “Specifications for Structural Concrete” and ACI 211.1“Recommended Practice for Selecting Proportions for Normal Weight Concrete”. Concrete slabs, patios, driveways, walls and foundations shall be constructed of a minimum 3000 to 3600 psi concrete, 28 day test, with a 4” minimum to 6” maximum slump maximum, air- entrained to 5 - 8%. No additional water shall be added to concrete after slump test is recorded. Concrete should be a mix of high grade Portland cement, clean sand or granular fill and washed gravel or crushed stone as coarse aggregate per ACI 530. Maximum aggregate size shall be ¾”. All aggregates shall conform to ASTM C33. Gravel should be well graded and not exceed 1 1/2” in size. Water shall not exceed 5 1/2 gallons for each bag, unless sand is very dry. Concrete shall be mixed using an approved batch machine or mobile mixer until uniform in color and providing a 4” minimum to 6” maximum slump. Provide all labor, materials and equipment necessary for the completion of the plain and reinforced concrete called for on the plans.
