(2)The Engineer will schedule a pre-grinding meeting at the Project Site. At the

pre-grinding meeting, submit to the Engineer in writing the proposeds lurry management Plan the grinding Contractor will utilize to remain in conformance with 1717, “Air, Land, and Water Pollution.” At the pre-grinding meeting, the Engineer and Contractor will review the site to identify the environmentally sensitive areas. C General Establish traffic control one day in advance of the beginning of the rehab operation for rehab surveys and locations. C.1 Removals Dispose of all removals outside the Right-of-way in accordance with 2104, “Removing Pavement and Miscellaneous Structures,” to the satisfaction of the Engineer. Repair any damage to any in-place pavement, Roadway Structure, joints, Shoulders, or appurtenance caused by the Contractor’s operations as directed by the Engineer before final acceptance at no cost to the Department. Replace bituminous Shoulder pavement, as directed by the Engineer, is included in the appropriate Type B or Type C pay item found in 2302, “Concrete Pavement Rehabilitation.”

To prevent concrete pavement blow ups, saw full-depth relief cuts in the adjacent lanes and remove a transverse section 4 inches wide by full-width of the slab as the Contractor determines necessary to protect the existing concrete pavement. If the Contractor chooses not to saw a relief cut and damage is caused to the remaining concrete pavement, the Contractor shall make repairs as directed by the Engineer, at no cost to the Department. Before opening to traffic, backfill the void formed after concrete removal with Class 5 or other Material as approved by the Engineer at no cost to the Department. Maintain the backfill Material flush within a tolerance of +/- 1/2 inch with adjacent concrete. C.2 Placing and Finishing Concrete Use concrete placing and finishing procedures that do not result in rounding of the surface at any joints or headers. Reestablish longitudinal and transverse joints and cracks according to J oint Repair Type A1 detail. Tool rounded edges adjacent to all inserts and forms. Limit overcutting into adjacent lanes to the Nominal radius of the saw blade. At no cost to the Department, seal overcuts into adjacent lanes in accordance with the Joint Repair Type A1 detail. Assure that concrete repairs do not protrude beyond the original cross -section of the pavement by more than 3/8 inch by forming or sawing the edges. Provide broomed surface texturing for skid resistance to all repairs, including when concrete grinding is to take place. C.3 Concrete Curing and Protection After completing final finishing operations, cure all exposed concrete surfaces. Use one of the following curing methods:

(1)For Type B Repairs, place the membrane curing compound conforming to 3754,

“Poly-Alpha Methyl Styrene (AMS) Membrane Curing Compound, ” or 3755, “Linseed Oil Membrane Curing Compound,” within 10 minutes of concrete placement or once the bleed water has dissipated unless otherwise directed by the Engineer in accordance with 2302.3C.3.a(1), “Membrane Curing Method.”

(2)For Type C Repairs, place the membrane curing compound conforming to 3754,

“Poly-Alpha Methyl Styrene (AMS) Membrane Curing Compound, ” or 3755, “Linseed Oil Membrane Curing Compound,” within 30 minutes of concrete placement or once the bleed water has dissipated unless otherwise directed by the Engineer in accordance with 2302.3C.3.a(1), “Membrane Curing Method.” Place the membrane-curing compound on the edges within 30 minutes after permanent removal of the forms or curing blankets unless otherwise specified in the Contract.

(3)Place plastic curing blankets or completely saturated burlap curing blankets as

soon as practical without marring the surface in accordance with 2302.3C.3.a(2), “Blanket Curing Method.” Whenever weather conditions are such as to cause unusual or adverse placing and finishing conditions or Equipment failures occur, expedite the application of a curing method or temporarily suspend the mixing and placing operations, as the conditions require.

If necessary to remove the coverings to saw joints or perform other required W ork, remove the covering for the minimum time required to complete that W ork. C.3.a Curing Methods C.3.a(1) Membrane Curing Method Before application, agitate the curing compound as received in the shipping container to obtain a homogenous mixture. Protect membrane-curing compounds from freezing. Handle and apply the membrane-curing compound in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. The Engineer will only approve airless spraying machines equipped with a recirculating bypass system that provides for continuous agitation of the reservoir Material, separate filters for the hose and nozzle, and multiple or adjustable nozzle system that provides for variable spray patterns. Apply the curing compound in accordance with the following:

(1)At a rate of 1 gallon per 150 square foot of surface area.
(2)Apply curing compound homogeneously to provide a

uniform, solid, white, opaque coverage on all exposed concrete surfaces (equal to a white sheet of typing paper). If using a Department-approved curing compound with a non-white base color, apply the compound to provide a uniform, solid, opaque consistency meeting the intent of the requirement in this section.

(3)If the curing compound is damaged during the curing

period, immediately repair the damaged area by re-spraying.

(4)If the Engineer determines that the initial or corrective

spraying results in unsatisfactory curing, the Engineer may require the Contractor to use the blanket curing method at no additional cost to the Department. C.3.a(2) Blanket Curing Method After completion of the finishing operations and without marring the concrete, cover the concrete with curing blankets. Install in a manner that envelops the exposed concrete and prevents loss of water vapor. After the concrete has cured, apply membrane curing compound to the concrete surfaces that will remain exposed in the completed Work. C.3.b Protection Against Rain Protect the concrete from damage due to rain. Have available, near the site of the Work, Materials for protection of the edges and surface of concrete. Should any damage result, the Engineer will suspend operations until corrective action is taken and may subject the rain-damaged concrete to 1503, “Conformity with Contract Documents,” and 1512, “Unacceptable and Unauthorized Work.” C.3.c Protection Against Cold Weather for Full Depth (Type C) Repairs If the National Weather Service forecast for the construction area predicts air temperatures of 36°F or less within the next 24 hours and the Contractor wishes to place concrete, submit a cold weather protection Plan.

Protect the concrete from damage including freezing due to cold weather. Should any damage result, the Engineer will suspend operations until corrective action is taken and may subject the damaged concrete to 1503, “Conformity with Contract Documents,” and 1512, “Unacceptable and Unauthorized Work.” C.3.c(1) Cold Weather Protection Plan Submit a proposed time schedule and Plans for cold weather protection of concrete in writing to the Engineer for acceptance that provides provisions for adequately protecting the concrete during placement and curing. Include a method of monitoring the concrete temperatures. Ensure concrete pavement repair temperatures remain above 32°F for the entire cure time as defined in 2302.3C.4, “Opening to Construction Equipment and Traffic,” note (3). Do not place concrete until the Engineer accepts the Contractor's cold weather protection Plans. C.4 Opening to Construction Equipment and Traffic The Engineer will not allow the Contractor to open concrete pavement repairs to construction equipment/vehicles, concrete grinding equipment, cleanup equipment, or public traffic unless one of the following requirements has occurred:

(1)When MnDOT designed 3U18 concrete or Contractor designed 3R52/3RHE52

concrete attains a minimum age of 7-Calendar Days, or

(2)When MnDOT designed 3U18 concrete attains a minimum age of 72 hours and

the admixture type, dosage rate, and minimum ambient temperature requirements outlined in Table 2302.3-1 are met, or

(3)MnDOT-designed 3U18 concrete attains a minimum age of 12 hours and

control strength specimens obtain minimum compressive strength of 3000psi or minimum flexural strength of 500 psi

(4)Contractor designed 3R52 or 3RHE52 concrete attains a minimum age of 12

hours and control strength specimens obtain minimum compressive strength of 2000 psi or minimum flexural strength of 350 psi

(5)For dowel bar retrofits repairs, reached a minimum age of 4 hours and control

strength specimens obtain minimum flexural strength of 500 psi or minimum compressive strength of 3000 psi

(6)For (3), (4), and (5) above, the Contractor will cast and cure the control

specimens in accordance with 2461. The Engineer will test the control specimens in accordance with ASTM C39, Standard Test Method for Compressive Strength of Cylindrical Concrete Specimens. If the Engineer is unable to test the control specimens the Contractor will test the control specimens in accordance with the following:

(a)Supply and operate (in the presence of the Engineer) a calibrated

mechanical or hydraulic concrete cylinder testing machine, in accordance with ASTM C39, Standard Test Method for Compressive Strength of Cylindrical Concrete Specimens

(b)Perform testing at a distance no greater than 30 miles from the

control specimen fabrication site

(c)At no additional cost to the Department

When opening times are less than 3 Calendar Days, provide the Engineer with a letter from the manufacturer stating the required minimum cure times of the Epoxy Resin Adhesive

(ERA)or Non-Shrink Grout (NGS) used to anchor either the dowel bars or reinforcement bars to

comply with the early opening times. Do not open to construction E quipment or traffic until the manufacturer’s recommended minimum cure times are met. Once one of the above conditions has been met, sweep the portion of the closed T raffic Lane with a power pick-up broom before opening. Use water to control dust at the discretion of the Engineer. D Type A Repairs Type A repairs include: variable width joint crack repair/joint repair (Type A1) and variable width in-place joint or crack repair/joint repair (Type A2). Saw and clean transverse and longitudinal joints or cracks as specified below, in preparations for sealing seal joints or cracks. D.1 Removals When performing variable width joint crack repair/joint repair (Type A1): Remove the in-place joint sealer if applicable. The Contractor may remove the in -place joint sealer in conjunction with widening of the inplace joint or crack. Widen in-place or newly constructed transverse or longitudinal joint or crack by saw cutting and to a depth shown on the Variable width joint crack repair/joint repair (Type A1) detail. Freshly saw both joint faces. Do not widen the in-place joint or crack greater than 1/4 inch from its existing width. When performing the variable width in-place joint or crack repair/joint repair (Type A2): Remove all of the existing joint seal Material from the in-place joint, insofar as possible, with ripping teeth, wire brush, sawing, or other reasonable Equipment to the satisfaction of the Engineer. Do not use Equipment that will cause spalling of the pavement surface. D.2 Preparation Thoroughly clean all joints and cracks by water flushing immediately after sawing. After joint has dried, sandblast then air blast. Assure that the joints or cracks are clean, dry, and free of all incompressible Material before applying sealant. D.3 Repair Install a closed cell backer rod when joints or cracks are 1/4 inch or greater. Install backer rod of a diameter and to the depth shown on the Joint repair (Type A) details. Use a Department approved hot pour joint sealer meeting the requirements of 3725, “Hot-Poured, Extra Low Modulus, Elastic Type Joint and Crack Sealer.” Apply joint sealer in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Fill joints or cracks to 1/16 inch below the pavement surface. Any overfilling of hot-pour joint sealer will require removal and replacement by the Contractor at no cost to the Department. E Type B Repairs Type B Repairs include: Partial depth repair (Type BA), Partial depth repair special (Type BE), and Joint and crack repair (Type B3). Remove deteriorated concrete at designated (Type B) repair areas; reestablish joints and cracks; furnish, place, and cure 3U18 concrete to the original slope and grade ; and saw and seal reestablished joints. E.1 Removals The Engineer will not allow jackhammers for partial depth concrete removals. Removal chipping hammers are limited to a maximum rated weight of 35 pounds. Equip milling machines used for concrete removal with a device for stopping at preset depths to prevent damage to the dowel bars. Remove the concrete surface and all deteriorated concrete in the designated repair areas to a minimum depth of 2 inches. Do not damage the dowel bars during the removal process. Any damage is the responsibility of the Contractor at no cost to the Department. Remove the concrete surface in the designated repair area by either of the following:

(1)Milling transversely or longitudinally. Chip-out secondary spalling resulting

from the Contractor’s removal operations at no cost to the Department.

(2)Delineate the repair area by saw cuts and chipping back the saw cuts to a

30 degree to 60 degree angle. E.2 Preparation If dowel bar or reinforcement bar cross-sectional loss due to corrosion is slight, place duct tape over the dowel bar, or another bond breaking Material approved by the Engineer. Cut or burn-off the bar if the dowel bars are misaligned, exhibit corrosion to a greater degree , or if the end of the dowel is exposed. If this involves more than three adjacent dowels, remove and replace the entire joint with a Full depth repair (Type CD). Sandblast then air blast Type B repairs clean. Drill and grout No. 4 epoxy coated reinforcement bars for Partial depth repair special (Type BE). Maintain a minimum of 1 inch concrete cover around bar. Install additional drill and grout No. 4 epoxy coated bars at 6 inches center-to-center while maintaining the minimum concrete cover. The installation of the preformed joint filler is required before concrete placement in order to reestablish the joint or crack within the repair and to prevent the infiltration of the concrete into the crack or joint that runs through the repair. Allowing concrete to infiltrate into the joint or crack may cause a compression failure. In some instances (mainly when concrete is removed under dowel bars), the preformed joint filler will not completely plug the joint or crack within the repair. If this circumstance is encountered, remove a section of the dowel bar to allow the placement of the preformed joint filler or place clean concrete sand to fill the void below the joint filler.

The practice of using sand in places where joint filler installation is impractical may result in a reduced repair life and is meant to be used on an occasional basis. Therefore, the Engineer should make an early determination of the extent of this type of fix and may want to use a Full depth repair (Type CD) in lieu of the Joint and crack repair (Type B3). The Engineer may allow sawing for joint re-establishment when the following conditions exist:

(1)Precautions are taken to prevent infiltration of concrete into the underlying

joint

(2)Depth of the entire Type B repair remains above dowel bars
(3)In order to prevent compression spalls, saw cut the entire depth of the Type B

repair

(4)Green sawing takes place in a timely manner, to prevent random cracks
(5)Green sawing does not produce excessive spalling

Do not saw for joint re-establishment if Type B repair depth extends below the top of the dowel bars or Type B repair is used to repair a random crack. E.2.a Application of Bonding Agent The Contractor will choose a method for bonding the 3U18 mix to the in- place concrete in accordance with the following:

(1)Bonding Grout/Slurry Method
(a)Provide and place bonding grout to the prepared concrete

repair surface consisting of 2 parts of Type I or Type I/II Portland cement and 1 part sand, mixed with sufficient water to form a slurry.

(b)Mix the grout mechanically and apply by brushing or

scrubbing (with a stiff bristle broom) onto the in-place concrete surface. After applying the grout/slurry, immediately backfill repair with concrete.

(c)If the bonding grout dries or whitens before backfilling,

discontinue the concrete backfill operation. Re-sandblast the repair before reapplying grout and concrete backfill.

(d)The life of the grout shall not exceed one hour.
(2)Water Bonding Method
(a)Apply clean potable water to the sandblasted concrete

surface to achieve a saturated condition before 3U18 concrete backfilling. Apply multiple applications of potable water as necessary to achieve a saturated condition.

(b)If standing water is visible within the limits Type B repair,

discontinue concrete backfill operations.

(c)In accordance with 2302.3E.3, “Repair,” an application of

slurry/grout is still required at the repair surface. E.3 Repair Furnish 3U18 concrete, mix, place, surface finish, apply broom texture, apply grout slurry, cure, and saw and seal.

Provide a repaired surface tolerance that does not vary by more than 1/8 inch from the existing pavement surface as measured with a straightedge placed over the repair . Replace or grind the repair as necessary to correct deficiencies. After radius edging inserts, final finishing, and providing broomed surface texture, apply a heavy application of bonding grout/slurry at the surface interface (around the perimeter) of the Type B repair and the in-place concrete pavement. Position the grout/slurry band so 1 inch is over the in-place pavement and 3 inches is located over the newly placed repair. Apply the concrete cure in accordance with 2302.3C.3, “Curing Methods,” and protect the concrete repair from damage. Saw and seal reestablished joints and cracks within Type B repairs in accordance with the variable width joint crack repair/joint repair (Type A1). F Type C Repairs Type C Repairs include: Full depth repair (Type CD-LV), Full depth repair (Type CD-HV), Pavement replacement (Type CX), Full depth repair (Type CA-LV), Spot full depth repair (Type C1-LV), and Utility trench full depth repair (Type C2). Repairs with the designation LV are intended for use on non-state designated Roadways only. The Full depth repair (Type C1-LV, Type C2-LV, and CA-LV) are for use on Projects with a small quantity of repairs. Saw cut concrete full depth and perform full-depth concrete removal; restore and compact the grade; install reinforcement bars, dowel bars, or both; and furnish, place, finish, cure concrete and saw , and seal joints. F.1 Removals Saw cut the concrete pavement full depth. Removal of the concrete pavement must take place within 48 hours of the full -depth saw cutting. On Roadways closed to traffic during construction, the Engineer will allow removals beyond 48 hours as long as the removal process does not damage the in-place concrete. Repair or replace any damage to the adjacent pavement that occurs during the removal process to the satisfaction of the Engineer and at no cost to the Department. F.2 Preparation When the Full depth repair is used in the transverse direction, furnish and install 18 inch by 1.25 inch diameter dowel bars. When the Full depth repair is used in the longitudinal direction, furnish and install 18 inch long, No. 8 epoxy coated reinforcement bars, in lieu of the dowel bars. Provide dowel bars or reinforcement bars that are free of dirt, grease, oil , or other foreign Material. Use drill bit(s) 1/8 inch or greater than the Nominal outside diameter of the dowel bar or epoxy coated reinforcing steel that are anchored to the in-place concrete pavement. Provide a drill assembly or gang drill assemblies capable of drilling straight and true holes, to the required penetrating depth, drilling at mid-concrete pavement thickness, and to the tolerances shown below.

Install dowel bars in Full depth repair (Type CD-LV), Full depth repair (Type CD-HV), and if applicable, the Spot full depth repair (Type C1-LV) in accordance with the following tolerances:

(1)The final placement of the dowel bars is 9 inches into the face of the in-place

concrete slab

(2)Parallel to the top of the pavement within ± 1/4 inch
(3)Parallel to the other dowel bars within ± 1/8 inch
(4)Parallel to the Roadway centerline ± 1/2 inch

Place dowel bar basket assemblies as outlined in the Pavement replacement (Type CX) and Full depth repair (Type CA-LV) details. Use either the epoxy resin adhesive (ERA) or non-shrink grout (NSG) installation method to anchor the dowel bars and reinforcement bars into the concrete. Clean and prep the drilled holes in accordance with adhesive manufacturer’s recommendations. Final approval of the methods used to anchor dowel bars or reinforcement bars is based on actual field performance as verified by random coring. F.2.a Epoxy Resin Adhesive (ERA) Installation Method From the APL furnish an ERA Material with a stated application of anchoring dowel bars or reinforcement bars. Provide to the Engineer an installation data sheet from the manufacturer. The ERA will meet AASHTO M 235 Standard Specification for Epoxy Resin Adhesives, Type IV (Load Bearing Applications), Grade 3 (Non-sagging consistency), and of a Class (Temperature Range) to match the pavement temperature at the time of application. ERA Class (Temperature Range) designations are as follows:

(1)Class A, for use below 40°F
(2)Class B, for use between 40°F and 60°F
(3)Class C, for use above 60°F the highest allowable temperature to be

defined by the manufacturer of the ERA When pavement temperatures are below 40°F use Class A, when pavement temperatures are between 40°F and 60°F use either Class A or B, when pavement temperatures are above 60°F use Class A, B or C. ERA injection can be by either a mechanical caulking apparatus or a pneumatic injection system and have a nozzle capable of reaching and filling the back of the drill hole. In accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations, fill drill hole with adhesive and insert dowel or reinforcement bars. F.2.b Non-Shrink Grout (NSG) Installation Method From the APL furnish a NSG Material with a stated application of anchoring horizontal dowel bars or reinforcement bars. Provide to the Engineer an installation data sheet from the manufacturer of NSG Material. Provide either self-contained grout capsule or pre-bagged NSG utilizing an injection system capable of reaching and filling the back of the drill hole. F.3 Before Concrete Placement When placing concrete adjacent to in-place concrete pavement joints, protect ends of transverse joints to the satisfaction of the Engineer to prevent concrete mortar from infiltrating into the existing joints, resulting in compression spalls.

Do not remove any preformed joint filler used in the re-establishment of joints in Type C repairs, except by sawing or as allowed by the Engineer. F.4 Repair Furnish, place, finish, and cure concrete grades 3R52 or 3RHE52 for Type C repairs. In accordance with Full depth repair details Types CD-HV, CD-LV, and CA-LV, furnish, and place transverse No. 4 epoxy coated reinforcing steel. In accordance with the Full depth repair detail Type C2-LV, furnish both transverse and longitudinal reinforcing steel. In accordance with Pavement replacement (Type CX) repair detail, drill and grout No. 4 by 18 inches long epoxy coated reinforcing (tie) steel into the adjacent lane at a spacing of 30 inches. The Engineer will require corrective Work on vertical surface deviations greater than 1/4 inch within the span of the 10 foot straightedge in any direction. For corrected variations, the Engineer will accept deviations less than or equal to 1/4 inch within the span of a 10 feet straightedge in any direction. Restore contraction joints by green sawing to a depth of 1/3 of the pavement thickness. In accordance with Joint repair (Type A1) detail, prepare and seal saw cuts and reestablished cracks. F.5 Dowel Bar Anchoring Test Section Provide a dowel bar anchoring test section consisting of a complete Full d epth repair (Type CD-HV or CD-LD) at a site directed by the Engineer at least 1 Calendar Day before startup of major Full depth repair (Type CD-HV or CD-LV) operations. Perform the dowel bar anchoring test section as follows:

(1)Saw cut and remove in-place pavement to the dimensions shown on the Full

depth repair (Type CD-HV or CD-LV) detail.

(2)In the test section drill and install either 6 or 11 dowels in accordance with

appropriate Full depth repair (Type CD-HV or CD-LV).

(3)Use either a Department approved ERA or NSG as an adhesive to secure the

dowel bars to the in-place concrete pavement.

(4)Cure the dowel bar anchoring adhesive at least 4 hours before coring.
(5)Do not place concrete in the dowel bar test section.
(6)The Engineer will identify and mark 3 core locations on a single side of the Full

depth repair (Type CD-HV or CD-LV).

(7)Take three 4-inch diameter full depth cores centered on the dowel and 1 inch

from the sawed vertical face. F.5.a Evaluation of Dowel Bar Anchoring Test Section The Engineer in conjunction with the Concrete Engineer will determine if the anchoring of the dowels is acceptable. The Concrete Engineer considers the anchoring method acceptable if no air voids are greater than 1/4 inch in any direction. Cores will become the property of the Engineer. If the Engineer determines the anchoring of the dowels is acceptable, the Engineer will notify the Contractor to begin production operations. The Engineer’s continued acceptance is based on satisfactory placement and performance.

If the Engineer determines the anchoring of the dowels is not acceptable, remove the first test section and install another test section at the Contractor’s expense. The Engineer will not extend the Contract Time for the additional test section. Upon acceptance of the dowel bar anchoring test section, perform the following:

(1)Place a full depth saw cut offset 1 foot from the vertical face of the

test section.

(2)Completely remove the cored side of the dowel bar test section.
(3)Drill and anchor a new set of dowels as shown on the Full depth repair

(Type CD) detail.

(4)The Engineer will pay for the Work in this subsection at the unit bid

price of Full depth repair (Type CD) and Pavement replacement (Type CX).

(5)The Working Days for the test section are built into the total Contract

Time. F.6 Dowel Bar Anchoring Assurance Take additional cores to confirm consistent dowel bar or reinforcing steel anchoring. For each 1500 linear feet of Full depth repair (Type CD), the Engineer will randomly choose 2 separate repairs and mark dowel bars for an assurance core. For each 6000 square feet of Full depth repair (Type C1), the Engineer will randomly choose 2 separate repairs and mark reinforcing steel for an assurance core. The Engineer will review the cores to determine if the anchoring operations remain acceptable. If the dowel bars or reinforcing bars show air voids greater than that specified in 2302.3F.5.a, “Evaluation of Dowel Bar Anchoring Test Section,” take additional cores as directed by the Engineer to determine the severity. The Engineer will suspend full depth repair operations if dowel bars are anchored improperly. Operations will not resume until the Contractor has demonstrated to the Engineer that the problem which caused the air voids is corrected. If the cores show proper anchoring, back fill core holes with 3U18 concrete. When the dowel bar anchoring assurance coring operations show satisfactory placement and performance, the Engineer, in conjunction with the Concrete Engineer, may decrease the frequency to 2 assurance cores for every 3000 lineal feet of full depth repair (Type CD-HV or CD-LV). G Dowel Bar Retrofit Retrofit dowel bars in mainline joints and/or mid-panel cracks as shown on the Plans. Perform dowel bar retrofits only after all other repairs are completed on the joint or crack. G.1 Removal Schedule operations so that concrete removed during any Work shift is replaced with dowel bars and backfill Material before the time the lane is re-opened to traffic. Employ saws equipped with gang mounted diamond blades capable of cutting the required amount of slots in each wheel path simultaneously. Vacuum up and remove water and saw residue from the pavement surface. Skewed joints or cracks may require slots longer than that specified in the details. The Engineer will not provide compensation for the additional sawing or any component of the dowel bar retrofit beyond the limits shown on the dowel bar retrofit detail required to ensure at least 7 inches of dowel bar is placed on each side of the joint or crack. Limit traffic to 5 Calendar Days on sawn slots before completing the retrofit operation.

For smaller Projects (100 bars or less), the Engineer may allow walk-behind saws instead of slot saws as long as a template is used to ensure the slot locations are within the tolerances specified on the dowel bar retrofit detail and below. Make two saw cuts in the pavement to outline the longitudinal sides of each dowel bar slot. Saw the slots to the depth and length that allows placing the dowel at mid- depth in the pavement slab. Place the slot saw cuts:

(1)Parallel to the top of the pavement within ± 1/4 inch
(2)Parallel to the other slots within ± 1/8 inch
(3)Parallel to the Roadway centerline ± 1/2 inch

Note: Always measure dowel bar offsets from the Roadway centerline. Remove the concrete between the parallel saw cuts with a chipping hammer. Do not punch through the bottom of the slot or dislodge the pavement that is to remain in place. During concrete removal operations, use a small brush hammer as necessary to produce a flat, level surface within the slot for placing the bar in the proper location. Dispose of the removal debris on a daily basis, unless otherwise approved by the Engineer. G.2 Preparation G.2.a Slot Cleaning and Preparation Sufficiently clean the bottom of the slots with a chipping or brush hammer to allow the dowel bar assembly to sit parallel to the pavement surface. If needed, dry the slot before sandblasting with a high pressure air blasting heat lance. Sandblast the vertical sides and bottom of the slot after the concrete removal operations to completely remove loose debris and saw residue. Continue to sandblast until the sawing residue is removed and the vertical sawed faces are rough to the touch. The Contractor may recommend alternative methods of roughening for approval by the Engineer. The Engineer will require additional sandblasting if the slots become wet from any source after initial sand and air blasting other than 2302.3F.3, “Before Concrete Placement.” Immediately before beginning sealing of the joint or crack inside the slot, further clean exposed surfaces and cracks with a “moisture and oil free” high pressure air blasting of 150 pounds per square inch minimum. Protect traffic from sand and air blasting in a manner approved by the Engineer. G.2.b Sealing Joints and Cracks in Slot After sand and air blasting the slot, seal the bottom and sides of the crack with caulking Material to keep the patching Material from leaking into the joint or crack. Cure caulking Material for a minimum of 2 hours or until tack free or according to the manufacturer's recommendations, whichever is longer, before placing the approved rapid set, non-shrink concrete. The caulking filler shall not extend 1/2 inch beyond each side of the existing joint or crack. The Contractor may complete sealing of the cracks in conjunction with furnishing and installing the dowel assembly.

G.2.c Installation of Preformed Joint Filler Furnish preformed joint filler in accordance with 2302.3G, “Dowel Bar Retrofit,” and the following:

(1)Provide a round hole in the preformed joint filler the same Nominal

diameter as the specified dowel bar. Use a slightly larger hole when necessary to accommodate a skewed joint or crack.

(2)Slots cut into the preformed joint filler to accommodate the dowel bar

are not allowed.

(3)Locate the hole to provide enough preformed joint filler below the

dowel to extend to the bottom of the slot.

(4)The preformed joint filler is required to remain centered over the joint

or crack and tight to the bottom and edges of the slot during placement of the concrete. If the preformed joint filler shifts during construction operations or if a crack forms adjacent to the preformed joint filler, the Engineer will require removal and replacement of the dowel bar retrofit at the Contractor’s expense. G.2.d Installation of Dowel Assembly into Slot Supply dowel bar chairs that provide a minimum of 1/2 inch clearance between the bottom of the dowel and the bottom of the slot and with sufficient rigidity to hold the dowel bar in place during concrete placement and vibratory consolidation. Apply form release agent as a bond breaker on dowel bars before their placement in the slots. Install dowel assembly that has the bond breaker applied and is fitted with the compressible foam core board Material, the support chairs, and the 1/4 inch expansion caps on both ends into the slot in accordance with the following:

(1)Parallel to the top of the pavement within ± 1/4 inch
(2)Parallel to the other slots within ± 1/8 inch
(3)Parallel to the Roadway centerline ± 1/2 inch, measure dowel bar

offsets from the Roadway centerline

(4)Minimum of 1/2 inch clearance between the bottom of the dowel and

the bottom of the slot G.3 Repair Thoroughly moisten (with potable water) surfaces of the slot immediately before filling with backfill Material. The Engineer will not allow standing water in the slot. Fill each prepared slot with an approved rapid set, non-shrink concrete for dowel bar retrofit repairs. Ensure the compressible foam core board remains upright over the existing joint or crack during the backfill operation. Vibrate the rapid set, non-shrink concrete with a small 1 inch diameter hand-held vibrator capable of thoroughly consolidating the concrete around the dowel bar and support chairs and without segregation. Finish the concrete flush to within a tolerance of 1/16 inch above the adjacent concrete surface. When concrete grinding is part of the Contract, leave the surface of the backfill M aterial 1/4 inch above the adjacent concrete surface. Immediately after final finishing, coat concrete with a membrane curing compound in accordance with 2302.3B.3, “Type C Repairs.”

G.4 Test Section Provide a test section consisting of complete dowel bar retrofit at a site directed by the Engineer at least 3 Calendar Days before startup of major operations as follows:

(1)Install 24 retrofit dowels in the test section.
(2)The Engineer will identify and mark 3 locations for coring.
(3)Take three 4-inch diameter full depth cores through the dowel bar retrofits at

least 4 hours after completion of the test section. G.4.a Evaluation of Dowel Bar Retrofit Test Section The Engineer will determine if the retrofitting operation is acceptable. If the Engineer determines the retrofitting operation is acceptable, the Engineer will notify the Contractor to begin production operations. The Engineer’s continued acceptance is based on satisfactory placement and performance. If the Engineer determines the retrofitting operation is not acceptable, remove the first test section and install another test section at the Contractor’s expense. The Engineer will not extend the Contract Time for the additional test section. Upon acceptance of the dowel bar retrofit test section, perform the following:

(1)Completely remove and replace the dowel installation where the core

samples were taken.

(2)The Department will pay for the Work in this subsection at the unit bid

price for Dowel bar retrofit.

(3)The Working Days for the test section are built into the total Contract

Time. G.5 Retrofit Dowel Bar Placement Alignment Assurance Take additional cores to confirm consistent dowel bar placement and proper consolidation for each 600 bars placed. The Engineer will randomly mark 2 retrofit locations for assurance coring. The Engineer will review the cores to determine if the retrofitting operation is acceptable. If the dowels are located incorrectly or air voids exist around the dowel bars, take additional cores, as directed by the Engineer, to determine the severity. The Engineer will suspend dowel retrofitting operations if dowels are installed improperly. Dowel retrofitting operations will not resume until the Contractor has demonstrated to the Engineer that the problem which caused the improper dowel positions or air voids is corrected. Replace any individual Dowel bar retrofit not functioning or damaged at the expense of the Contractor. The Engineer will not allow water from the coring operation to flow across lanes occupied by public traffic or flow into closed drainage facilities. After removal of the cores, completely remove and replace the dowel installation where the core samples were taken. When the dowel bar retrofit assurance coring operations show satisfactory placement and performance, the Engineer, in conjunction with the Concrete Engineer, may decrease the frequency of assurance cores to every 1200 bars placed or more.

H Repair Evaluation Period The repair evaluation period lasts 30 Calendar Days. The repair evaluation period begins after all Type B, Type C, Dowel bar retrofits repair and Concrete grinding (when required) are completed in a single Traffic Lane. The continuity of a single Traffic Lane is not broken by either staging or Project exceptions unless otherwise authorized by the Engineer. The Department will review concrete pavement repairs and the diamond ground finished surface for failures during the repair evaluation period. Remove and replace failures that appear within the review evaluation period in accordance with 1512, “Unacceptable and Unauthorized Work.” Failures include (but are not limited to) the loss of bonding to the in- place concrete or crack apparent in the repair other than the desired crack in the newly constructed joint or re -established crack, and damage caused by the Contractor’s operations. The repair evaluation period starts over for repaired failures. Provide traffic control for inspection of repairs within the repair evaluation period, for removal and replacement of failed repairs, and for re-evaluation of the repaired failures.
