(1)Handle treated lumber and timber carefully to avoid breaking through the treated portions and

exposing untreated wood. Do not use chains, peaveys, cant hooks , pickaroons, timber dogs, pike poles, or other pointed tools on treated lumber and timber, use padded or non-metallic slings instead.

Effective with the December 2018 Letting 270 2019 Standard Spec ifications 507.3.4 Framing and Boring 507.3.4.1 General

(1)Cut and frame lumber and tim ber to a close fit. If possible, c ut, frame, and bore treated timbers before

treatment. 507.3.4.2 Holes for Bolts, Dowels, Rods, and Lag Screws

grooves to form a snug fit, or as the manufacturer recommends. 507.3.5 Temporary Attachment

(1)If attaching forms or temporar y braces to treated timber with nails or spikes, with the engineer’s

approval, fill the holes by drivi ng zinc coated nails or spikes flush with the surface, or by plugging as required for bolt holes. 507.3.6 Bolts and Washers

(1)Use a washer the size and type specified under all bolt heads, except timber bolts or bolts with button-

type heads, and also under lag sc rews and nuts that would other wise come in contact with wood. 507.3.7 Treating Cuts, Abrasions, and Holes in Treated Lumber and Timber

(1)Carefully trim and cover abrasions, holes, and cuts made in treated lumber and timber with a

compatible preservative material. Use preservatives and application methods specified in AWPA Standard M4. Apply the preservative in 3 applications; wait at least 2 hours between applications.

(2)Carefully trim and then fill holes made in treated material wi th preservative so that the solution

saturates the entire area surrounding the hole. Use copper naphthenate solution containing 2 percent or more copper metal and conforming to 507.2.3 or with another preservative allowed for field applications under AWPA M4.

(3)Treat unfilled holes in treated lumber and timber, except for countersinking recesses, as specified

above and then plug with treated plugs.

(1)Ensure that sills bear true a nd even on mudsills, piles, or pe destals. Drift bolt the sills to mudsills or

piles with bolts at least 3/4 inch in diameter and extending into the mudsills or piles at least 6 inches. If possible, remove earth from contac t with sills so air circulates freely around them. 507.3.8.4 Posts

(1)Ensure that bracing bears firmly against the pile or cap that it is bolted. Provide and place shims as

necessary to avoid bending the bracing more than one inch out o f line after drawing the bracing bolts tight. Furnishing and placing shims are incidental to this work . If the opening between the bracing and the cap or pile is less than one inch, there is no need for shims. If the opening between the bracing and the cap or pile is from one to 2 inches, place 2 ogee washe rs with their narrow faces together on each bolt that passes through the opening. If the opening betwe en the bracing and the cap or pile is over 2 inches, use wooden shims of the proper thickness. Use wo oden shims made of untreated white oak, or the treated material used in the structure. Do not use built-up wooden shims. Ensure each wooden shim is a single piece of lumber at least 4 inches wide and at least as long as the bracing is wide, measured along the cap or pile.

(2)The contractor shall not adze , trim, or cut otherwise any trea ted member to avoid using the above-

described shims. 507.3.11 Stringers

(1)Size the stringers at bearings and position so that knots near edges are in the top of the stringers.
(2)Outside stringers may have butt joints but, lap interior strin gers to take bearing over the full width of

the floor beam or cap at each e nd. Separate the lapped ends of stringers by at least 1/2 inch for air circulation and securely fasten by drift bolting if specified. If stringers are 2 panels in length, stagger the joints.

(3)Neatly and accurately frame cr oss bridging between stringers, and securely toe nail with at least 2

nails in each end. Ensure cross bridging members bear at each e nd against the sides of stringers. Unless specified otherwise in t he contract, place cross bridgin g at the center of each span. 507.3.12 Plank Floors

(1)Use treated lumber and timber in plank floors.
(2)Single plank floors consist of a single thickness of plank sup ported by stringers or joists. Use planks

surfaced on one side and one edge (S1S1E). Lay the planks with the surfaced side down and with close joints. Spike each planks ecurely to each joist. Lay plan ks at right angles to the centerline of roadway. Grade the thickness o f the planks carefully and lay th em so that no 2 adjacent planks vary by more than 1/16 inch.

(3)Two-ply plank floors consist o f 2 layers of flooring supported by stringers or joists. Use planks surfaced

on one side and on one edge (S1S1E ). Lay the planks with the su rfaced side down and with close joints. Lay the top course diago nally or parallel to the center line of roadway, as specified, and fasten each floor plank securely to the lower course or to the joist. Grade the thickness of the planks carefully and lay them so that no 2 adjac ent planks vary by more than 1/1 6 inch. Stagger joints by at least 3 feet. If placing the top floori ng parallel to the centerline of the roadway, take care to securely fasten the end of the flooring. At each end of the bridge, bevel the upper course of planks.

(4)Spike side and retaining pieces at one-foot intervals and bolt at 3-foot intervals unless the plans show

otherwise. Fasten scupper blocks to the retaining pieces by spi kes and bolts through the wheel guards. Bolt the wheel guards in pl ace as the plans show. Lays ide retaining pieces and wheel guards true to line, parallel to the centerline of roadway, and flush with the edge of the subflooring. 507.3.13 Laminated or Strip Floors

(1)Use 3-inch or thinner strips, s urfaced to a uniform thickness (S1S) and, if specified, to a uniform width

(S1S1E).

(2)Place the strips of lumber on edge and at right angles to the centerline of roadway. Spike each strip to

the adjacent strip at 2-foot intervals with spikes that stagger 8 inches with those in adjacent strips. Use spikes of sufficient length to pass through 2 strips and at lea st halfway through the third. Additionally, toe nail the strips to the stri ngers or nailing strips with 20d spikes, and stagger the nailing of successive strips to space spikes at least 6 inches along each stringer or nailing strip. Keep each strip vertical and tight against the pr eceding one with even bearing on all the supports. If the plans show, attach the strips securely to s teel supports by department-appr oved zinc coated metal clips.

Effective with the December 2018 Letting 272 2019 Standard Spec ifications 507.3.14 Wheel Guards and Railings

(1)Provide fire stops in the intervals as the plans show. They co nsist of wood diaphragms at least as thick

as the flooring or sidewalk, are located over caps, and fill th e openings between the joists completely. 507.3.16 Painting Lumber and Timber

(1)Paint lumber and timber as specified under 517.3.2 unless the contract provides otherwise.
(2)Painting lumber and timber is incidental to furnishing and ere cting the lumber and timber.

507.4Measurement

(1)The department will measure Treated Lumber and Timber by the thousand feet board measure (MBM)

acceptably completed. The department will compute quantities fr om the nominal sizes and from the lengths as framed and erected. The department will not make any allowance for waste.

(2)The department will only measure lumber and timber that is a p art of the completed work. The

department will not measure falsew ork, forms, bracing, sheeting , or other lumber and timber used for erection purposes.

507.5Payment

(1)The department will pay for measured quantities at the contrac t unit price under the following bid

items: ITEM NUMBER DESCRIPTION UNIT

507.0200 Treated Lumbe r and Timber MBM

(2)Payment for Treated Lumber and T imber is full compensation for providing, framing, treating, placing,

and painting; and for materials and hardware required for erecting the lumber and timber.
