NOTES:
1. Precast Concrete Deck Panels shall be fabricated in accordance with
Section 535 of the Standard Specifications.
2. The contractor shall submit working drawings showing the exact layout of
panel types and sizes.
3. Refer to the Design Drawings for structures with curved beams or angled
splices.
4. Joints at expansion piers shall be treated similarly to the abutment joint
details.
5. Panel widths of less than 8-0" may be used. Provide strands in the ratio
of the smaller panel width to 8-0", multiplied by the number of strands given
in the table, rounding up to the next even number of strands. The minimum
panel width is 3-0"
6. Prestressing strands shall be 3/8 -in. diameter Grade 270 seven - wire low
relaxation strands conforming to the requirements of ASTM A 416. Initial
tension shall be 17.2 kips per strand.
(Continued)

502(13)
NOTES (Continued):
7. A mat of #3 reinforcing bars spaced at 6 inches O.C. in each direction
may be substituted for welded wire fabric. The welded wire fabric or the
reinforcing bars shall have the same corrosion resistance characteristics
and/or coating system as the reinforcing steel used in the cast - in - place
portion of the deck slab.
8. Concrete for panels shall have a minimum 28 day compressive strength of
5000 psi and a minimum release strength of 4000 psi. Permeability shall be
as required for the cast - in - place portion of the deck slab.
9. Precast deck panels require the use of 7-in. long shear connectors rather
than the standard 5-in. length. Payment for any additional costs will be
considered incidental to the precast deck panel pay item.
10. Where 1-0" wide girder flanges are specified on the Design Drawings, the
transverse shear connector spacing shall be 3 1/2 inches rather than the
standard 6-in. spacing.
11. When flange thicknesses differ or flange cover plates are used, the
temporary blocking thickness shall vary. Precast panels shall align vertically
to within 1/4 inch.
12. High - density expanded polystyrene foam shall be cut in the field to the
required thickness.
13. Mortar to be used for support under the deck panels shall have an
approved high range water reducing additive.
14. The specific reinforcing steel layout for the cast - in - place portions of
the slab shall be as shown on the Design Drawings.
15. If there is a conflict between these Standard Details and the Design
Drawings, the requirements of the Design Drawings shall be followed.

expansion dams as required.
2. Refer to Design Drawings for dimensions, slopes, skew and all other
information necessary to fabricate and install each Expansion Device.
3. The Expansion Device shall be fabricated to be installed normal to grade.
4. Anchor studs shall be installed using automatically timed stud welding
equipment.
5. The Expansion Device shall be set to an opening of two inches in the

shall cover the entire bridge seat. Seams perpendicular to the centerline of
bearing will be allowed provided that the seam occurs near the center of a
precast unit with the unit bearing approximately equally on both pad pieces.
For bridge skew angles greater than 15^, other bearing area treatment may be
shown on the design drawings.
7. The Contractor will be responsible for providing a joint filler system
adequate to contain the keyway grout during placement. No extra payment will
be made for such system or for necessary repairs or other extra work if the
joint filler system fails.
8. The shear key sealant shall be one of the polyurethane - based products
listed on the MaineDOT Qualified Products List of Pour - In - Place Joint
Sealant.
9. When a high - performance waterproofing membrane is to be applied

NOTES
1.
Prior to placing guardrail, a final check of existing conditions will be made by the
project resident and any adjustment necessary to ensure the proper functioning
of the guardrail for the purpose for which it is intended will be made accordingly.
2.
Extra length posts and W beam rub rail required within the pay limit of Item
#606.80 shall be considered incidental.
3.
Extra W Beam Rub Rail required outside of the pay limit of Item #606.80 will
be paid with guardrail Item (606.178 Guardrail Beam).
4.
Extra length posts, if needed, outside the pay limit of Item 606.80 shall be
incidental to Item 606.23.
5.
The flare taper rate of the guardrail may be steepened after crossing the clear zone
point to shorten the length of the terminal.
6.
Type (A) (soil) cut slopes terminal guardrail shall be that guardrail which
- is to extend a minimum of two 6-3" spans into the cut slope, from the first
post beyond the toe of the cut slope, as detailed herein
- is to terminate a minimum of 1-0" below the ground elevation of the back slope.
7.
In the buried portion of the terminal, posts shall be galvanized steel. Wood posts and
blocks may be used for the remainder of the terminal.
8.
The Contractor shall so arrange his work sequence to provide that each Type (A) and
(B) Terminal End shall be installed concurrently with the placement of each
section of beam rail including backfilling and shaping of the disturbed slope.
9.
Type (B) (shale or rock) Terminal installation shall consist of anchoring the guardrail
against the face of the exposed rock using guardrail end shoes as detailed herein.
10.
The final decision as to the type of cut slope terminal installation Type (A) or (B)
at each location will be based on the actual materials encountered during construction.
11.
Buried end terminals, both Type (A) and (B), will be paid as Item #606.80
complete in place.
12.
All labor, equipment, and materials necessary for the terminal end installation including
but not limited to excavation, backfilling, and slope shaping will be considered incidental
to Item #606.80.
13. Hold the top guardrail element constant with the typical barrier installation:
- When the bottom of the top of guardrail element exceedes 18" in height, at any
point of the slope, go up stream 1 post and add a bottom rail element under the
standard guardrail element.
- When the top of the installation exceeds 45" from the ground, at any point in
the installation, then both elements will be sloped down to maintain a maximum
height of 45" in front of the toe of slope.
14.
Bend the downstream end of the bottom rail to the backside of the post and bolt to
posts. Use 96" long posts, wood (see note 7) or steel, width dimensions as per
standard details at location requiring bottom rail element:
- When bolt holes are field drilled, zinc rich paint (cold galvanization) shall be
applied to all disturbed surfaces prior to bolt installation.

Standards as a guide in order to determine the number of brackets, the
configuration of the vertical bracing and the configuration of the lateral
bracing.
3. The support frame is designed such that the Contractor may fasten chords,
vertical and horizontal bracing using a single bolt per connection in an oversized hole for erection purposes. When the frame is in final desired
position, adjustments may be accomplished and remaining bolt holes may be
drilled in the field using the connected components as a template.
4. The Contractor shall select an appropriate chord base plate for attaching to
a concrete barrier, curb or parapet, using the views in these Standards as
a guide. An accommodating anchor bolt system shall be selected from this
Standard.
5. All work and materials shall conform to the applicable provisions of
Section 504, Structural Steel, of the Standard Specification Highways
and Bridges.
6. All Steel components shall be galvanized after fabrication in accordance
with ASTM A123, except that hardware used in the connections of the

NOTES ON MAXIMUM ENTRANCE PROFILES:

1.
These profiles are a guide for the majority of cases, but should be field checked
when the main line grade is steep (4% to 6% or greater) or the angle of approach
to the entrance is unusual.
2.
Generally the majority of entrances on a project will be built with flatter profiles
than these maximum cases.
3.
When grading entrances which are flatter than the maximum profiles the following
rule of thumb should be used. Do not exceed a grade % change of more than 9%
in a 6 foot increment of entrance length. This applies to both up and down profiles.
4.
Entrances with grades exceeding 15% must have a design exception. Field entrances
with grades exceeding 22% must have a design exception.
5.
Any design change to an existing entrance that is steeper than (+ or -) 6% that

adversely changes the grade (+ or -) by more than 3% will require a
design exception.
Design exception to be approved by Program Manager (or designee).
