430.3.01 Personnel
Before paving, have the Office of Materials and Research, certify a profilograph equipment operator. Certification includes a written examination by the operator. 430.3.02 Equipment
Provide equipment and tools to perform the work. Provide equipment that allows the paver to operate at a constant production rate and rarely start and stop. The Engineer may limit the production rate or batch size if equipment does not keep pace with the other operations or causes poor workmanship.
Before use, the Engineer will inspect and approve the scales to weigh concrete materials and the devices to measure water. Tolerances are ± 1.0 percent throughout the operating range. Measure admixtures to ± 3.0 percent.
Ensure that equipment operating on the pavement has rubber-tired wheels or flat steel wheels. Wait to operate concrete or shoulder paving equipment on the pavement until the concrete slab is 14 days old or has 2,500 psi (15 MPa) compressive strength. Paving equipment may be either slip-form or fixed form.
Use mechanical equipment to produce the surface finish of the mainline and transverse plastic concrete grooving. Ensure that the equipment uses rectangular-shaped steel tines of the same size and uniform length. Use tines with a width between 0.08 in. (2 mm) and 0.130 in. (3.5 mm). Space the tines approximately 1/2 in. (13 mm) apart.

Produce evidence that the mix design proportions for Class 1 and 2 concrete have strength development potential
for 24 hours plus or minus 15 minutes and at 28 days as specified in Subsection 430.3.06.C, Approval of Mix
Design Proportions.
The Department will approve each proposed combination of materials and mix designs based on the use of
approved materials, compliance with Subsection 430.3.06.B, Mix Design Criteria, and the following:
Prepare at least 9 normally cured flexural specimens and test according to AASHTO T 126 and T 97 to ensure
that the demonstrated laboratory flexural design strength at 28 days meets the following minimum Design
Acceptance Requirement (DAR).
NOTE: Take the 9 flexural specimens from 3 separate trial batches. Make 3 specimens from each batch.
Class No. 1 Concrete DAR = 600 psi + .67 s
Concrete DAR = 4.1 MPa + .67 s
Class No. 2 Concrete DAR = 700 psi + .50 s
Concrete DAR = 4.8 MPa + .50 s
Class HES Concrete DAR = 700 psi + .50 s
Concrete DAR = 4.8 MPa + .50 s
s = a standard deviation of all 28-day flexural specimens for a given combination of materials and mix proportions
prepared together. Do not use a value of “s” greater than 37 psi (255 kPa) to calculate DAR.
Prepare and test at least 6 cylinders according to AASHTO T 126 and T 22 to ensure that the demonstrated
laboratory compressive strength at 28 days for Class 1 and 2 concrete exceeds the minimum Job
Performance Value (JPV).
Produce similar evidence that demonstrates strength development at 72 hours for Class HES concrete.
Class 1 Concrete JPV Minimum = 3,000 psi + .18 R
Concrete JPV Minimum = 20 MPa + .18 R
Class 2 Concrete JPV Minimum = 3,500 psi + .21 R
Concrete JPV Minimum = 25 MPa + .21 R
Class HES Concrete JPV Minimum = 3,000 psi + .05 R

1) Submit early compressive strength test results made at 24 hours plus or minus 30 minutes for at least
12 cylinders. Prepare and test according to ASTM C 684, Method A.
2) Prepare cylinders from three separate trial batches and make four specimens from each batch.
3) Determine the average strength, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation for the design
according to ACI 214. Do not use designs that produce a coefficient variation greater than
10 percent.
Submit evidence that designs proposed for use as Class HES concrete have compressive strength
development potential at 72 hours of 3,000 psi (20 MPa) plus .05 R.
Determine the aggregate surface moisture and apply free moisture corrections to the approved mix design.
The Engineer will verify that the corrections are made properly.
Adjust the approved proportions of the fine and coarse aggregate and water as desired, provided:
Keep concrete consistency and air content to vary within the following limits:
Immediately before placement, use GDT 27 to determine concrete slump. Do not use concrete for Portland
cement concrete pavement with a slump value greater than 2.5 in. (65 mm).
Immediately before placement, use GDT 26, GDT 28, or GDT 32 to determine the air content of the concrete.
Concrete will not be accepted that has an air content outside of these limits:
Lower acceptance limit 3.0%
Upper acceptance limit 6.5%
The concrete strength of Portland cement concrete pavement is accepted based upon development of
compressive strength at a specific time.
Strength development is determined by a lot acceptance plan. The pavement is subdivided into separate concrete
lots of approximately 5,334 yd² (4400 m²) placed continuously, except for required work stoppages.
Ramps may be set apart as individual lots. Include acceleration or deceleration lanes, wedges, or other varied
width sections in other lots if the total paving quantity is not greater than 7,500 yd² (6300 m²). The Engineer
will randomly select three production units from each lot for strength determination tests. 504504504504504504504

Concrete may be accepted by early strength determinations. However, concrete will not be accepted based
on early strength development when the difference between the largest observed strength value and the
smallest observed strength value exceeds 35 percent of the average.
The minimum early acceptance strength is the average strength at 24 hours plus or minus 30 minutes of
the laboratory design less 1.5 times the standard deviation of the laboratory design.

place pending acceptance or rejection from the 28-day strength test results.
When a lot is potentially defective based on the early strength determinations and the Contractor leaves the
lot in place to be judged by the 28-day strength tests results, retain and cure all 3 sets of 28-day cylinders.

the deficient area should not be removed or replaced, 50 percent of the Contract Unit Price will be paid.
When the compressive strength at 28-days, expressed as an average strength (X) for a lot of concrete pavement is
less than the values established by the Pay Factor Table, payment will be made at a reduced Unit Price per square
yard (meter) as shown in the Pay Factor Table.
When a pavement section is deficient in thickness and compressive strength, the Contract Unit Price will be
adjusted by the total reduction from applying the percentages in Subsections 430.5.01.A and Subsection
430.5.01.B, above.
For combined deficiencies of 50 percent or more, the Engineer may leave the pavement in place at the combined
payment reduction or order the deficient areas removed and replaced at no additional cost to the Department.
If the Engineer orders removal of the pavement, payment will not be made for the original pavement or removal.
Pavement replaced will be paid for at the appropriate Unit Price.
If, based on the Department’s profilograph tests, the Engineer determines that the Contractor profilograph test
results are inaccurate, the Contractor will be charged for profilograph testing at $500 for each trace mile ($250 for
each trace kilometer), with a minimum charge of $500.. 510 510 510 510 510 510 510
