604.1Description.

This work consists of constructing and removing temporary facilities used to perform the work.

604.2Materials.

A.Sheet Piles Section 1032

B.Steel Section 1039

C.Timber Section 1041

D.Form Oil Section 1049

604.3Construction.

604.3.1 Submittals.

A.Prepare and submit working drawings for the temporary works at least 30 calendar days in

advance of beginning the work, in accordance with Section 105.4. Include materials list, fabrication and erection details, jacking support plan, design calculations , and supporting data in sufficient detail to allow a structural review of the proposed design of a temporary work. Use a registered Delaware professional engineer to design and seal drawings and calculations for the temporary works in accordance with AASH TO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications, the Guide Design Specifications for Bridge Temporary Works, or to other design requirements in accordance with the contract.

B.Submit working drawings for form liners indicating the layout of panels, details of all surface and

joint patterns, and details for wrapping the form liner around corners in accordance with Section

604.3.3Submit a form liner sample

C.Unless otherwise noted in the contract, the minimum clearance over roadways, including the

traveled way and the shoulder, is as follows:

1.14 1/2-feet for interstates and other controlled access highways.

2.14-feet for all other roadways.

The Department will not allow any part of the temporary works system to encroach on clearance restrictions over the roadway and shoulders.

D.Start fabrication or construction only after approval of the working drawings. Construct temporary

works in conformance with the approved working drawings. 604.3.2 Falsework and Formwork.

A.Provide rigid and strong falsework and forms to safely support the imposed loads. Set and hold

forms true to the dimensions, lines, and grades of the structure before and during concrete placement.

1.Construct falsework and set grades that allow for settlement and deflection. Provide the vertical

alignment and camber indicated for the permanent structure. Allow for minor adjustments during concrete or structural steel placement. Attach an approved indicator to the forms to TEMPORARY WORKS SECTION 604 182 detect settlement, movement, or deflection in the falsework. Provide for accurate measurement of falsework settlement during concrete placement and curing.

2.For concrete surfaces exposed to view, provide formwork that will produce a smooth surface of

uniform texture. Use rigid forms to ensure a concrete surface tolerance of less than 1/8 -inch in 5-feet when checked with a 5 -foot straightedge or template. Fillet sharp corners with 3/4 -inch chamfer strips. Bevel or chamfer at projections, such as copings, to ensure easy removal.

3.Support falsework or formwork for deck slabs on girder bridges directly on the girders. Brace

and tie girders to resist forces that could cause rotation or torsion in the girders. Do not weld falsework support brackets or braces to structural steel members or reinforcing steel unless specified in the contract or allowed by the engineer.

4.Do not brace concrete forms against a cofferdam or shoring unless approved by the engineer.

5.In narrow walls and columns, where the bottom of the form is inaccessible, provide an access

opening in the forms for cleaning immediately before placing the concrete. For thin wall construction, daylight forms at intervals no greater than 10 -feet vertically to permit free access to the forms for working, vibrating the concrete, and inspection.

6.For roadways remaining open to traffic during construction, provide 5 -feet of horizontal

clearance between the falsework and the traveled way.

B.Accessories.

1.Treat forms with form oil or other approved release agent before placing reinforcing steel.

2.Mechanically fasten embedded accessories to the formwork.

3.Construct metal ties or anchorages within the forms capable of removal to a depth of at least 1 -

inch below the concrete surface. If the contract specifies epoxy -coated reinforcing steel, use embedded ties, anchorages, or spreaders of corrosion -resistant material or coated with a dielectric material. Design fittings for metal ties to minimize the size of the cavities remaining after removal.

4.Remove wood blocks and bracing within the forms. Do not leave any portion of the wood forms

in the concrete.

5.Clean forms, inspect for damage, and, if necessary, repair before reuse.

C.Design and fabricate cardboard tubes for placement in forms to produce voids in concrete slabs

and box beams. Fabricate the tubes with waterproof outside layers. Protect tubes from the weather. Place tubes using methods that prevent distortion or damage before concrete placement. Cover the ends of tube forms with mortar -tight and waterproof caps to prevent concrete from entering the tubes during concrete placement. Use a pre -molded rubber joint filler, 1/4-inch thick, around the perimeter of the caps to allow for expansion. Provide a PVC vent tube at the location indicated in the contract, to provide drainage from the voids. Trim the vent tubes to within 5/8 -inch of the bottom surface of the finished concrete after removing the exterior form. Anchor or ti e tube forms to prevent displacement of the tubes during concrete placement. The contractor may use styrofoam blocks instead of cardboard tubes provided they are anchored to prevent displacement during pouring.

D.Falsework or Form Removal.

1.After placing concrete, maintain falsework or forms as required in Table 610.3 -3.

TEMPORARY WORKS SECTION 604 183 2. When removing falsework and forms:

a.Do not damage the concrete surface.

b.Allow the structure to uniformly and gradually take the stresses resulting from the dead load.

3.Remove falsework and forms, except as noted below.

a.When removal would damage completed structures, cut off portions of temporary piles or

sheet piles as follows:

i.12-inches or more below subgrade within roadbeds .

ii. 24-inches below the original ground or finished grade outside of roadbeds and 24-inches below the established limits of any navigation channel .

b.Footing forms if removal endangers the safety of cofferdams or other work.

c.Forms from inaccessible enclosed cells.

d.Deck forms in the cells of box girder bridges that do not interfere with the future installation

of utilities shown in the contract. 604.3.3 Form Liners.

A.Liners.

1.Provide liners that:

a.Will produce the finish details specified in the contract;

b.are reusable and made of high strength urethane;

c.capable of withstanding anticipated pour pressures without leakage causing physical or visual

defects and that do not compress more than 1/4 -inch when poured vertically at a rate of 10 feet per hour;

d.attach easily to the formwork system and are removable without causing concrete surface

damage or weakness in the substrate; and

e.capable of assembling into varying pattern configurations.

B.Patterns and Joints.

1.Use a random form liner panel layout that does not repeat the same pattern on adjacent panels

or on a series of panels.

2.Stagger panel joints so that long continuous horizontal or vertical lines do not appear in the

finished concrete surface. Offset horizontal joints between adjacent vertical stacks of form liner panels.

3.Blend butt joints between form panels into the approved pattern and the final finished concrete

surface. Avoid creating visible vertical or horizontal seams or conspicuous form marks within the finished concrete surface.

4.Use form liners capable of continuing patterns around corners.

C.Sample Panels and Test Sections.

TEMPORARY WORKS SECTION 604 184 1. When called for in the contract, construct sample panels to demonstrate the form liner patterns. Locate the sample panel as close as practicable to the structure for use as a basis of comparison to the work constructed on the finished structure.
