ITEM 9000-5005 REPAIR 5, REPAIR CONCRETE PEDESTAL, S-31231 -----------------------------------------------------------DESCRIPTION This work is replacing concrete pedestals with Class

ss A Cement Concrete as indicated. MATERIAL o Class A Cement Concrete Section 704, except use AASHTO No. 8 Coarse Aggregate. o Reinforcement Bars Section 709.1, epoxy coated. o Concrete Bonding Compound Section 706. o Annealed Iron Wire ASTM A684. o Non-Shrink Grout Section 1001.2(e). CONSTRUCTION (a) General. 1. Perform the work when the bridge is jacked-up, and the existing bearing is removed. 2. Provide safe access to concrete pedestals to permit the Representative to delineate the limits of repair. 3. Provide safe access for performance of the work. 4. Perform work in accordance with applicable parts of Section 1001.3 and as indicated. (b) Removal. 1. Provide satisfactory shielding below or adjacent to all areas of removal of concrete to protect areas below from falling debris. 2. Remove concrete as indicated. minimum clearance all around. Provide exposed reinforcement bars with a

3. Do not use pneumatic hammers heavier than nominal 30-pound class. 4. Use hand tools, such as hammers and chisels or small air chisels, to remove loose particles of unsound concrete or to provide necessary clearances around reinforcement bars. (c) Reinforcement. 1. Blast clean all exposed reinforcement to white metal. Remove and replace all portions of damaged or heavily corroded reinforcement bars (reinforcement with 25% loss or more) with the same size epoxy coated reinforcement. Splice new epoxy coated bars to the existing reinforcement. If sufficient splice length is not available, drill new dowel holes and place dowel bars as directed. 2. Place reinforcement within the repair area and tie to existing reinforcement bars and dowel bars as indicated. (d) Concrete Placement. 1. Set forms to original surface and maintain all chamfers, joints, and grooves. If clear concrete cover to the reinforcement bars is less than 2", set forms to

provide 2" of clear cover by adjusting the forms. Provide adequate ports for applying concrete bonding compound and placement of repair concrete. Use removable forms. 2. Blow-clean all removal areas with oil-free compressed air and protect against any contaminant detrimental to the bond of the new concrete. 3. Immediately prior to placing new concrete, apply concrete bonding compound to the area of existing concrete that is in contact with the new concrete. Place concrete against the bonding compound while it is still sufficiently tacky to provide a proper bond. Recoat bonding compound that is no longer tacky. Wirebrush or abrasive blast bonding compound that has hardened before recoating. 4. Place concrete in accordance with applicable parts of Section 1001.3. 5. Use water cure in accordance with Section 1001.3. permitted. MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT Each Removal of existing concrete and placement of all repair materials are included in this item. Providing safe access for the Representative to determine limits of repair and inspect the work is incidental to this item. Membrane curing is not
