1088.1DESCRIPTION—This work is the construction of a PA Type 10M Bridge Barrier.

1088.2MATERIAL—Unless otherwise specified, galvanize steel materials as specified in Section 1105.02(s).

Before fabrication, submit shop drawings as specified in Section 105.02(d) for review and acceptance.

(a)Railing.

• Steel Cold Formed Tubes. ASTM A500, Grade B or C

• Threaded Welded Anchor Stud for Barrier Rail Tube. ASTM A108

• Sidewalk Rail Tubes. Section 1022.2(a)

• Toggle Bolts for Sidewalk Rail Tube. Section 1022.2(b)

• Railing Posts. ASTM A709, Grade 50 or ASTM A992

• Test Requirements for Post Welds. At least 10% of the posts in a lot as defined in AWS D1.5-D1.5M- 2008, Section 6.7.1(c), will be inspected. A visual inspection and magnetic particle testing will be performed over the full length of the welds on all posts inspected. Ultrasonic testing of the complete joint penetration welds will also be performed. If unacc eptable discontinuities are found in more than 20% of the welds tested, an additional 10% of the posts in the same lot will be inspected. If unacceptable discontinuities are found in more than 20% of the welds tested in the second group of posts, all of the remaining posts in the lot will be inspected.

• Welding Material. Section 1105.02(t)

For areas that have been damaged, exposing base metal, paint with two coats, according to ASTM A780. Place joints, as indicated. At bend area, do not vary the diameter of rail tubes by more than 5% of the outside dimension when rail tubes are bent to the radii indicated.

Do not open bridge to traffic until bridge railing is placed.

(b)Welding. Section 1105.03(m)

1088.4MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT—Linear Foot, measured from end to end of barrier.
