The additives are chemical products which are added in the concrete in quantities
smaller or equal to 5%substance from the mass of the cement for the purpose to
modify/improve the fresh/hardened concrete.
While using the additives the provisions of CP 012/1- 2008 will be observed.

Baia Mare – Sighetu Marmatiei Km 3+522 – Km 62+234
Stage: Technical Project + Execution Details
Before the beginning of the actual works, the Contractor will perform preliminary works:
− signalling the working area;
− inspecting the existence of the position of the possible utilities on the road territory
or adjacent to the road territory; all the measures to perform the works in safety
will be taken;
− marking the works;
− assuring the water discharge on the site.
3.2. DEMOLISHING OF THE EXISTENT SUPPORT WALL
The elevation of the wall made of stone masonry will be demolished and the stone will
be cleaned and sorted as follows:
- The stone that can be considered as appropriate to be reused on the masonry of
the elevation of the new wall
- The stone that can be considered as inappropriate to be reused on the masonry
of the elevation of the new wall, but that can be used in the cyclopean concrete in the
foundation of the wall.
The foundation of the wall will be demolished until the quota of the gravel foundation
level of the road.
3.3. DIGGING
When the execution of the diggings involves the exposure of some existent
underground networks (water, gas, electricity etc.) that will continue to operate,
measures to protect these networks must be taken in order to avoid damages. If these
networks are unknown and are found during the execution of the digging, the works will
stop and the Consultant will be informed in order to take the necessary measures.
The digging, both in elevation and in foundation, will be made on a recommended
length of maximum 15m. After the integral performance of the wall, the diggings will
continue to be made on the same recommended length of 15m.
The last 30 cm until the foundation quota will be dug before concreting to avoid the
degradation of the bordering land and the boundaries of the shoe of the foundation.
3.4. ENCASEMENT
The encasements and their supports should be formed so that to fulfil the conditions in
NE 012:

Baia Mare – Sighetu Marmatiei Km 3+522 – Km 62+234
Stage: Technical Project + Execution Details
− to ensure obtaining the form, the dimensions and the finishing degree specified in
the project for the elements that are going to be performed, observing the
admissible aberrations (for the length of the encasement elements ±15mm, for the
width ±6mm, height ±10mm);
− to be sealed so that to block the loss of the cement grout;
− to be stable and resistant under the action of the loads that appear in the
execution process.
Before beginning the mounting of the encasements, the surfaces that come into contact
with the concrete that is going to be cast will be cleaned and prepared and the position
of the reinforcements will be checked and corrected.
In order to reduce the adherence between the concrete and the encasements, they will
be lubricated with striking agents on the sides that come into contact with the concrete
before mounting.
For the architectural treatment of the seen side of the elevation, compression elements
will be mounted on encasement according to the specifications from the execution detail
drawings of the project.
The mounting of the encasements will include the following operations:
− marking the encasements;
− assembling and temporary supporting the panels;
− finishing, linking and permanently supporting the encasements.
Control and acceptance of the encasements works inspection at every step will be
made, as follows:
− preliminary, inspecting the preliminary works and the elements of sub-assemblies
of encasements and supports;
− during the execution, inspecting the positioning in relation to the marking and the
method to fix the elements;
− at the end, the acceptance if the encasements and the recording of the
observations in a registry of minutes.
In the case of encasements that close after the mounting of the reinforcements, a
common minutes will be drawn up for encasements and reinforcements.
3.5. FASHIONING AND MOUNTING THE REINFORCEMENTS

Stage: Technical Project + Execution Details
The connectors will be made of bars PC52 and will be fixed un the existent concrete
with cement grout or epoxy resins in holes performed in a network with eyelets of
0.50m.
3.6. CASTING AND PROTECTION OF CONCRETE AT THE FOUNDATION OF
THE WALL
The casting of the concrete and its subsequent treatment will be made according to the
provisions of NE 012. The casting of the concrete must be made after:
− finishing the digging;
− the acceptance of the quota and of the nature of the foundation land.
Based on the inspection of the conditions above, based on the minutes of hidden works
and/or of determined phases, the beginning of concreting will be approved.
The concrete in the foundations will be cyclopean concrete with 35% stone from
demolitions and recoveries and will be cast at the walls of the digging.
The concrete has to be spread uniformly along the foundation digging, taking into
account the performance of layers of maximum 50cm height and the casting of the new
layer before the beginning of the hardening of the concrete previously cast.
The dropping inner height of the concrete will not be greater than 1.5 m.
The working joints must be avoided and if this is not possible, they will be treated
according to the "Practice code for the execution of concrete, reinforced concrete and
pre-compressed concrete works: indicative NE 012.
The elevation-foundation joint will have a rough aspect, the stone being raised and the
metallic compound bars being mounted to it.
3.7. ROUGH STONE MASONRY IN THE ELEVATION
The rough stone masonry will be made according to STAS 2917/79 "Masonry works
from natural rough stone. Composition prescriptions"
To ensure the levelling of the seen side and of the back side of the elevation, the
masonry in encasement is recommended.
The designer can opt to perform only the seen side of the wall from natural rough stone
masonry and to perform the rest of the elevation's body as cyclopean concrete.
After striking, the joints between the stones will be finished and possibly filled with
cement mortar.
