1087. 1 1087. 3(a)

1087.1DESCRIPTION —This work is the construction of a PA 3 -Rail Bridge Barrier.

1087.2MATERIAL —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.

• Structural Steel Tubing. ASTM A500, Grade A, B or C or ASTM A501

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

• Base Plates. ASTM A709, Grade 50

• Test Requirements for Post Welds. All welds on all posts will be visually inspected. In addition, at least 10% of the posts in a lot as defined in AWS D1.5- D1.5M- 2008 , Section 6.7.1 .2(2)(c), will be inspected as follows: 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 unacceptable 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 discontinu ities 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)

• Miscellaneous. Section 1105.02(a)2

Certify as specified in Section 106.03(b)3.

(b)Wood Offset Block (Non -Routed). Section 1109.04
(c)Bolts and Nuts. Section 1105.02(c)1, galvanized as specified in Section 1105.02(s).
(d)Anchor Bolts, Nuts, and Washers.

• Anchor Bolts . ASTM A449, Type 1 or ASTM F1554, Grade 105 per Section 1105.02(c)3, galvanized as specified in Section 1105.02(s).

• Nuts. Section 1105.02(c)3.a, galvanized as specified in Section 1105.02(s).

• Washers . Section 1105.02(c)3.b, galvanized as specified in Section 1105.02(s).

(e)Mechanical Splice System (Epoxy Coated). Section 1002.2(c)
(f)Caulking Compound. Section 705. 7

1087.3CONSTRUCTION —As shown on the Standard Drawings , the Contract Drawings, and as follows:

(a)General. Coat surfaces of posts in contact with concrete thoroughly , using caulking compound, before

erection. Use caulking compound to seal openings b etween metal surfaces and concrete after erection and 1087. 3(a) 1087. 4 Remove blemishes and scratches from exposed surfaces. For areas that have been damaged, exposing base metal, paint with two coats , according to ASTM A780. Place joints, as indicated. Do not open bridge to traffic until bridge railing is placed.

(b)Welding . Section 1105.03(m)

1087.4MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT —Linear Foot, measured from end to end of barrier.

Caulking compound as specified in Section 705.7 is incidental.
