Tool edges of exposed expansion and contraction joints, border edges, and wherever concrete adjoins other material or vertical surfaces.
3. Exposed Concrete Surfaces (Not Including Top Surface of Slabs): Immediately after removal of forms from concrete to be left exposed, remove fins and rough spots; damaged and irregular surfaces and holes left by form clamps and sleeves shall be patched with grout; tie wires are to be withdrawn and holes pointed up with neat cement paste similar to procedure noted under "Patching". This shall extend to distance of 2" below established grade lines. Elsewhere, ends of wires shall be cut off flush. Care shall be taken to approach as nearly as possible texture of exposed adjacent concrete surface. After patching, all concrete that is to remain exposed shall be grout cleaned with mixture of 1 part cement and 1-1/2 parts fine sand with sufficient water to produce consistency of thick paint. Apply to concrete surfacing with brush after first wetting concrete. Immediately after applying, float surface with wood float, scouring vigorously. Keep damp during this period in hot weather. When set, grout shall be scraped from wall with edge of steel trowel - allowed to dry - then wiped or rubbed with dry burlap. Entire cleaning operation of any area shall be completed on the same day started. This treatment shall be carried 4" below grade, and all patching and grout cleaning done immediately upon removal of forms.
C. Curing: According to ACI 308.1 1. Concrete in Forms: Keep forms and top of concrete between forms wet continuously until removal of said forms; maintain exposed concrete in wet condition for 14 days after removal of forms. 2. Interior Slabs Scheduled to be Exposed: Cure by sprinkling with fine water mist immediately behind finish and cover while still moist and as soon as possible, but in no case more than 3 hours after finishing, with specified curing paper. Lap sheets and cement together to form seal. Keep in place not less than 14 days and as long thereafter as work continues which may subject slab surface to dirt or abrasion due to nails, chips, etc. Surface shall be wet from fine water mist when paper is applied. 3. Interior Slabs Scheduled to Receive Carpet or Vinyl Tile: Cover and cure with approved membrane curing compound compatible with adhesive. 4. Exterior Slabs: Cover and cure with membrane curing or moist sand at Contractor’s option. Upon completion of job, wash clean.
