When the ambient temperature is below 40 F, the forms or enclosures and reinforcing steel shall be heated to attain and maintain a temperature of at least 40 F. No concrete shall be placed when the concrete temperature is below 60 F.
shall elapse between the placing of contiguous lifts of concrete. The thickness of the first layer for I- girder beam sections shall be such that the top of the concrete is slightly above the top of the bottom fillet. The casting procedure shall be modified if the length of girders and placement conditions are such that an initial set of concrete may result if each lift is continued full length before another lift is placed. 1029.6.3 Prestressing Tendons. Prestressing tendons for pretensioned members, and metal enclosures for post- tensioned members, shall be accurately placed and securely held during placing and curing of the concrete. Strand chucks for pretensioning shall anchor the strand positively without slippage after seating. Strand chuck components shall be cleaned and inspected between each use and lubricated as necessary. All strands shall be free of contaminants such as dirt, oil, paint, wax, corrosion or other foreign material that may prevent a bond between the strands and the concrete. The use of prestressing strands having kinks, bends, nicks or other defects shall not be permitted. A light coating of rust will not be cause for rejection, provided that the loose rust is removed and the surface of the strands is not visibly damaged. Tensioned strands shall be protected against excessive temperatures such as those produced by torches, welding equipment or sparks. Strands from more than one source shall not be used in any one tensioning operation. 1029.6.4 Strand Splices. One approved splice per strand will be permitted provided the splices are located outside of the prestressed member. For single strand tensioning, the number of strands per bed that may be spliced is not restricted. If multi-strand jacking is used, either all strands shall be spliced or no more than 10 percent of the strands shall be spliced. Spliced strands shall be similar in physical properties, from the same source, and have the same twist or lay. Previously tensioned strands may be reused one time provided the strands meet all requirements of these specifications. 1029.6.5 Wire Failures. Wire failures may be accepted, provided no more than one wire in any strand is broken and the area of broken wires does not exceed two percent of the total area of the strands. 1029.6.6 Stressing Requirements. The contractor shall provide a technician skilled in the use of the system of prestressing to supervise the prestressing operations. The contractor may select the method of prestressing, 614 provided an approved specific method is used and the total prestressing force and the center of gravity of the prestressing tendons as shown on the plans are maintained. 1029.6.7 Elongation. The contractor shall compute the required elongation. Two copies of the computations shall be submitted to the engineer. The length of the strand to be used in calculating elongations shall be the actual length of the strand along the strand’s trajectory between the fixed anchorage and the reference point at jacking end of the strand. Stress losses due to slippage of strand anchorages, splice chucks and movement of anchorage abutments shall be included in the elongation computations. 1029.6.8 Pretensioned Members.
AASHTO M 203, Grade 270.
the casting of the first and last member on a bed shall not exceed four days unless otherwise permitted by the engineer. When the temperature at the time of tensioning is such that correction must be made to compensate for change in strand stresses, all members on the bed shall be cast in a continuous pour.
within five percent of that specified. The stress to be given each strand shall be as shown on the plans. Pretensioning shall be by either the single strand or multi-strand jacking method. Each strand shall be brought to a uniform initial tension. The initial tension of each strand shall be accurately measured by a dynamometer or other approved means. The initial tension shall be within 50 pounds or two percent of that required, whichever is the larger. The same jack used for single strand tensioning may be used for initial tensioning provided the jack is equipped with a proper gauging system for measuring the initial tension. Measurement of elongation shall not begin until initial tensioning has been completed. Strands tensioned as a group shall have the same initial tension, be from the same source, and have essentially the same modulus of elasticity.
shall be left in place or replaced with temporary plugs until girders are erected and then replaced by coil tie rods. Alternate methods may be used, provided acceptable results are achieved. Coil ties shall have a concrete pull-out strength of at least 9,000 pounds in 3,000 psi concrete.
At the contractor's option the location for bent-up strands may be varied from that shown on the plans for fully bonded strands only. The total number of bent-up strands shall not be changed. One strand tie bar is required for each layer of bent-up strands except at end bents which require one bar on the bottom layer of strands only. No additional payment will be made if additional strand tie bars are required. 1029.6.9 Post-Tensioned Members. Post-tensioned members shall be stressed in such a manner that the tension being applied and the elongation of the tendon may be measured at all times. The contractor shall furnish a certified record of gauge pressures and elongations to the engineer. Friction losses in the enclosures, elastic shortening and anchorage set shall be included in the computations for the required elongation of the tendon. In cases of discrepancies between gauge readings and the stress indicated by the elongation of the tendon, the elongation method of stress determination shall govern. Loads shall not be applied to the concrete until the concrete has attained the design compressive strength shown on the plans. Tendons shall be stressed in a sequence to produce the least eccentricity of the load. Post-tensioning elements shall be placed in metal enclosures and after stressing shall be bonded by pressure grouting the space between the enclosure and the tendon. Enclosures shall be thoroughly cleaned of all foreign material prior to grouting. The discharge ports shall be closed after all air has been forced out of the enclosure, as evidenced by the steady discharge of grout at the grout’s proper consistency, and a pump pressure of at least 50 psi maintained on the grout for a sufficient length of time to ensure completely filling all voids in the enclosure. Post-tensioned members shall not be removed from their supports for at least 24 hours after grouting. 615 1029.6.10 Strand Release. Strands shall not be released until the concrete has attained the required compressive strength shown on the approved shop drawings. The compressive strength shall be determined by tests of standard cylinders made of concrete from the same batches and cured in the same manner as the members. The strands or prestressing elements shall be cut or released in a sequence that produces the least eccentricity of the load. If steam curing is used, strand release shall be performed while the members are still warm. Forms, hold down devices, or other appurtenances that may restrict movement of the members shall be removed or loosened prior to strand release. The sequence of release for hold down devices and strands shall be indicated on the shop drawings. Release shall be in accordance with the approved shop drawings. 1029.6.11 Curing. Concrete members shall be kept continuously wet until the conclusion of the curing period. Curing shall be accomplished by covering with burlap or jute mats kept continuously wet by moist air, live steam or any combination of these methods. Other moist curing methods that will keep the member moist may be used provided the details of the proposed method are submitted to the engineer and approved. As soon as the concrete has set sufficiently that no marring of the surface or distortion will result, wet burlap or jute mats shall be applied, covering the exposed surface. Curing shall be continued until the concrete has attained the design compressive strength shown on the plans. The concrete shall not be exposed to temperatures below freezing until the curing has been completed. 1029.6.11.1 Steam Curing. A preset period of no less than four hours shall be allowed before steam cure is applied. When the ambient temperature is below 50 F, steam shall be applied also during the preset period, but only at a rate sufficient to keep the air surrounding the member at a temperature between 50 and 70 F. After the preset period, steam shall be applied at a rate that will not increase the temperature of the air surrounding the members more than 40 F per hour. The maximum curing temperature shall not exceed 160 F, and the difference in temperature adjacent to the concrete at different locations within the enclosure shall not exceed 30 F at any time. Fluctuations of the temperature adjacent to the concrete during the curing period at any one location shall vary no more than 30 F. The contractor shall furnish and place, at the direction of the engineer, a minimum of two portable recording thermometers and no less than one for each 150 feet of enclosure, for use in determining the magnitude and degree of uniformity of temperatures within the enclosure. The temperature recording system shall be capable of automatically producing a temperature record during the entire curing period. The temperature record shall show the temperature at each location at intervals of no more than 15 minutes and have a range of approximately zero to 200 F. The temperature recording system shall be accurate within plus or minus 5 F. Steam shall be applied from pipes with perforations at suitable intervals laid along each side of the member, or by other approved arrangements. Jets of steam will not be permitted to impinge directly against the member, forms or test specimens. Provisions shall be made for effective circulation of the steam around all portions of the members. The concrete shall be kept continuously moist during the steam curing period. Steam curing shall continue until the required strength for transfer of load has developed. Steam or other curing methods shall continue until the concrete has attained the design compressive strength shown on the plans. After the expiration of the steam curing period, the temperature inside the chamber shall be reduced at a rate of no more than 40 F per hour until a temperature has been reached approximately 40 F above the temperature of the air to which the concrete will be exposed. 1029.6.12 Form Removal. Forms shall not be stripped from prestressed concrete members sooner than 12 hours after casting. If strand release strength has then been attained, forms may be removed and members moved without unnecessary delay to a curing area. If forms are removed before the concrete has attained the strength which will permit the units to be moved or stressed, only the minimum area of the curing enclosure that is necessary to remove each individual form section shall be removed at any one time. The open area in the enclosure shall immediately be closed as each form section is removed. When the surrounding air temperature is below 30 F, no portion of the enclosure shall be removed before the unit has attained the required transfer strength. Forms of test specimens shall be stripped at the same time the forms are removed from the members. 1029.6.13 Handling. 1029.6.13.1 Storage. Handling and storage of prestressed members shall be performed with the members in an upright position and with points of support in approximately the same position as designated for the final bearing locations of the members in the structure. For storage of girders and beams the supports shall not be placed outside the limits of the bearing plates. In storage, the members shall be fully supported across their width on battens that are no less than 4 inches wide, and the supports shall maintain the members in essentially a level position without twisting. Stacking of members in storage shall be done only with the approval of the 616 engineer. If such permission is granted, the supports of all members shall be in the same vertical planes and shall be of adequate thickness to prevent damage to the lifting devices. 1029.6.13.2 Transporting. Members shall not be transported nor erected until the concrete has attained the design compressive strength shown on the plans. During transportation, the ends of solid, box and voided slab beams shall not extend more than 12 inches beyond the supports on the transporting vehicle. The ends of double-tee girders shall not extend more than 1 1/2 times their depth beyond the supports on the transporting vehicle. The ends of all other beams or girders shall not extend more than their depth beyond the supports on the transporting vehicle. 1029.6.14 Surface Finish, I Girders, Solid Slab Beams, Voided Slab Beams and Box Beams.
