CONCRETE AND TOPPING CONTROL REQUIREMENTS


.1

Cold Weather Control Requirements


.1

The following requirements are in addition to CSA A23.1-04, Clause 7.4.2.5 Cold-Weather Protection.

.2

Provide temperature-controlled enclosures for areas where concrete is placed


whenever ambient air temperature is 5C or lower.

.3

Protect concrete from the adverse effects of space-heated enclosures including


local overheating and combustion products.

.4

Heat mix-water and, if necessary, aggregates when air temperature is at or below,


or predicted to go below, 5C at any time during the next 24 hours.

.5

Maintain temperature of reinforcing bars and forms above 10C prior to placing
concrete.

.6

Maintain temperature of concrete when deposited in forms not less than 15C and
higher than 25C.

.7

Maintain temperature of concrete at surfaces at least 10C for a minimum period


of five days after placing and achieving minimum 75% of specified strength.
Concrete temperature may then be lowered to ambient air temperature at a rate of
1/2C per hour or 10C per day

.8

Use additional protection if full 28-day compressive strength is required at an


early age.

.9

Keep concrete continuously moist during the curing period. See section 03350 for
details.

.10

The temperature difference for the concrete is being placed and the concrete being
poured against is of primary importance during winter concreting. Therefore, the
temperature of the surface of the previously poured concrete must be within 5C
of the concrete being placed but must not be lower than 7C.

.2

High-Temperature Control Requirements


.1

The following requirements are in addition to CSA A23.1 -04, Clause 7.4.2.4 Hot-Weather Protection.

.2

Limit peak temperature during the curing period to 40C maximum. Placing
temperature that will satisfy this requirement depends on ambient temperature,
humidity at the time of placing, thickness of the concrete, and curing methods
employed.

SCARBOROUGH TRANSFER STATION
SURGE PIT SLAB REHABILITATION
CONTRACT NO. 14FS-33SW
NOVEMBER 2014

03300 17
CAST-IN-PLACE CONCRETE

.3

Consider use of retarders, low-heat cement, slag replacement, ice in mixing water,
pre-cooling of aggregates, cooling of concrete through continuous wet curing, and
similar methods in order to prevent concrete temperatures from exceeding 40C at
any time.

.4

Monitor concrete temperatures for walls and slabs 500 mm or more in thickness.
After concrete temperature has peaked, control rate of cooling to ambient air
temperature at a rate of 1/2C per hour to prevent cracking.

.5

Notwithstanding requirements of subparagraphs .1 and .2 above, do not place


concrete with temperature higher than 25C. Concrete with temperature in excess
of 25C on arrival at the site will be rejected. Remove rejected concrete from the
site.

.3

Concrete and Topping Protection


.1

Protect freshly placed concrete and topping from damage due to construction
operations and from cold, heat, rain, snow, running water, drying winds, and any
other circumstances which would likely cause deterioration of concrete or
topping quality.

.2

Use waterproof insulated covers or other suitable materials to enclose freshly


placed concrete under these conditions.

.4

Frost Protection For Slabs On Grade (Not Applicable)


.1

Provide continuous protection for slabs on grade to prevent subgrade below from
freezing during cold weather. Provide heated enclosures and insulation as
required.

.2

Subgrade below completed tanks may be protected against frost by filling with
water to a minimum depth of 2,000 mm. Place log booms, 200 mm diameter, at
maximum spacing of 5,000 mm in each direction to abate ice pressures on tank
walls. Break ice on formation.

.5

Influence of Ambient Concrete Temperature On Concrete Crack Control


.1

To minimize the formation of thermal cracks during placement and curing,


maintain previously cured concrete and concrete that will be placed against it at
the same temperature.

.2

Do not place concrete against any surface, which is less than 7C in temperature.

.3

The Engineer may direct the Contractor to employ any of the means for crack
control during hot weather outlined in ACI Report Hot Weather Concreting, at
no additional cost to the Contract.
