Contraction Joints Sample Clauses

Contraction Joints. Contraction joints shall be provided at intervals of twenty (20) meters or less except as otherwise mentioned on the drawings or as directed by the Engineer. The contraction joint shall be a straight line perpendicular to the flow direction and, where it is necessary on such horizontal surfaces as floors, shall be parallel to the flow direction.
Contraction Joints. The position of construction joints will be as specified in the drawings by the designer. If there is a need on site to revise any specified position /or/ to have additional construction joints the proposed positions should be agreed with the Engineer. Full structural continuity must be assumed in design at a construction joint. Reinforcement will be fully continuous across the joint, and the concrete is taken to be as nearly monolithic as possible. The concrete at the joints should be bonded with the one subsequently placed against it, without provision for relative movement between the two. Concrete should not be allowed to run to a feather edge, and vertical joints should be formed against a stop end. Particular care should be taken when framing the joint. The surface of the first pour should be roughened to increase the bond strength and to provide aggregate interlock. With horizontal joints, the joint surface should be roughened without disturbing the coarse aggregate particles, by spraying the joint surface approximately 2h to 4h after the concrete is placed, with a fine spray water and/or brushing with stiff brush. Vertical joints can be treated similarly, if the use of a retarder on the top is authorised, to enable the joint surface to be treated after the stop end has been removed. If the joint surface is not roughened until the concrete has hardened, the larger aggregate particles near the surface should be exposed by sand blasting or by applying a scaling hammer or other mechanical advice. Care should be taken that the joint surface is clean immediately before the fresh concrete is placed against the old one. It may need to be dampened prior to the new concrete being placed, to prevent excessive loss of mix water into it by absorption. Particular care should be taken in placing of new concrete close to the joint to ensure that it has adequate fines content and is fully compacted and dense. N.B. When instructed by the Engineer in designing construction joints for retaining aqueous liquids it is necessary to incorporate waterstops in properly constructed joints. Construction joints shall be formed only in the positions shown in the drawings or indicated by the Engineer and concreting shall be carried out continuously between and up to joints. All intersections of construction joints, permanently exposed, shall be made absolutely straight and level or plumb and matching with adjacent members. Construction joint shall be formed at right angles to th...
Contraction Joints. Contraction joints shall be provided at the locations indicated on the Approved Drawings. Also, they shall comply with BS 8007 and 8110 requirements and according to Engineering Structural calculations and Practice to the satisfaction of Engineer. Accessible edges of each contraction joint shall be sealed as specified in the Sealants and Caulking Section.
Contraction Joints. For matching placed items, contraction joints shall be cut to a minimum depth of one-and-one-half (1%") inches. Sawing shall begin as soon as the concrete has hardened to the degree that excessive xxxxxxxx will not occur. Sawing shall progress in the same direction and sequence as the concrete placement. Every third joint shall be sawed first, then saw intermediate joints.
Contraction Joints. Contraction joints serve to provide for volumetric shrinkage of monolithic concrete and for movement shrinkage cracks else where in concrete. Prior to application of wax based curing compound to contraction joints, the surfaces of all joints shall be cleaned thoroughly of accretion of concrete or other foreign material by scraping, chipping or other means approved by the Engineer-in-Charge. Water stops, reinforcing bars and other embedding items shall be free of curing compound when adjoining concrete is placed.
Contraction Joints. Contraction joints at a spacing to produce approximately square sections shall be provided.

  • SHAM CONTRACTING (a) The Parties to this Agreement acknowledge that sham contracting has the potential to undermine fair employment practices, erode Employee entitlements and affect the job security of Employees covered by this Agreement. A sham contracting arrangement includes where an employer attempts to disguise an employment relationship as an independent contracting arrangement. This is usually done for the purposes of avoiding responsibility for employee entitlements. (b) In this clause, "sham contracting" is where: (i) an employer employs, or proposes to employ, an individual, representing to the individual that the contract of employment under which the individual is, or would be, employed by the employer is a contract for services under which the individual performs, or would perform, work as an independent contractor; (ii) an employer dismisses, or threatens to dismiss, an individual who is an employee of the employer and performs particular work for the employer in order to engage the individual as an independent contractor to perform the same, or substantially the same, work under a contract for services; or (iii) an employer employs, or has at any time employed, an individual to perform particular work makes a statement that the employer knows is false in order to persuade or influence the individual to enter into a contract for services under which the individual will perform, as an independent contractor, the same, or substantially the same, work for the employer. (c) Clause 16.6(b)(i) does not apply if the employer proves that, when the representation was made, the employer did not know and was not reckless as to whether the contract was a contract of employment rather than a contract for services. (d) Any use of sham contracting is a breach of this Agreement. (e) Where a sham contracting arrangement has been reasonably alleged and is unable to be resolved at the workplace level, any Party may refer the allegation directly to the Disputes Panel for conciliation and/or resolution under clause 11 of this Agreement. All Parties will cooperate with the requests of the Disputes Panel including requests to provide substantiating information or undertaking an independent audit of their arrangements. For the avoidance of doubt, an affected Employee may appoint a representative in relation to such matters. (f) Where the sham contracting allegation exists on the Employer’s Project, the Employer will make itself available to assist the disputes resolution procedure. (g) Where the Disputes Panel Chair deems it necessary due to seriousness of the allegations and/or their findings, the Chair may refer the matter to the appropriate government authority. (h) Where it is agreed or determined by the Disputes Panel or FWC that a sham contract was in place and the person was in fact an Employee under this Agreement, the calculation for back pay will be calculated on the basis of the hourly rate contained in this Agreement plus the site allowance (if applicable), plus the multi-storey allowance and an additional 75% loading to cover entitlements other than CBUS and Incolink. Any difference between the hourly rate paid to the Employee, plus CBUS and Incolink will form the settlement for breach of this clause. The affected Employee will be re-inducted and fully informed of their entitlements under this Agreement and the Fair Work Act. (i) The Employer must ensure that a person engaged to undertake building work as an Employee or as an independent contractor is lawfully entitled to be so engaged under Australian law. (j) The Employer agrees that the Employees will be paid in accordance with the applicable wage rates and allowances as prescribed in this Agreement. (k) The Employer in particular acknowledges the Sham Contracting Compliance Checklist, as attached at Appendix L, provides a useful tool to ensure ongoing compliance.
