PART 2 - PRODUCTS 2.01 WOOD FORM MATERIALS A. Plywood: APA B-B Plyform Class I, Exterior Grade, mill oiled and edge sealed. B. Lumber: Southern Pine species; Select Structural No. 2 grade or better with grade stamp clearly visible, and conforming to NFPA design values for visually graded lumber .. 2.02 PREFABRICATED FORMS A. Preformed Steel Forms: Minimum 16 gage matched, tight fitting and stiffened to support weight of concrete without deflection detrimental to tolerances and appearance of finished surfaces. 2.03 FORMWORK ACCESSORIES A. Form Release Agent: 1. EUCO-SUP, Euclid Chemical Company. 2. DUOGARD, W.R. Meadows, Inc. 3. DEBOND, l&M Chemical Company B. Corners: Chamfered using wooden strip. PART 3 - EXECUTION 3.01 EXAMINATION A. Verification of Conditions: Examine substrate and conditions under which concrete formwork is to be performed. Have the installer notify the Contractor in writing, with a copy to the Architect, if substrate is unsatisfactory. Do not begin the work until unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected in a manner acceptable to installer. Beginning of work indicates acceptance of the substrate as satisfactory by the installer. 3.02 INSTALLATION A. General: In accordance with ACI 301, Design, erect, support, brace and maintain formwork to support vertical and lateral loads which might be applied until such loads can be supported by the concrete structure. 1. Construct formwork so that concrete members and structures are of correct size, shape, alignment, elevation and position. 2. Form Construction: a. Fabrication: Fabricate forms for easy removal without hammering or prying against concrete surfaces. b. Provide crush plates or wrecking plates where stripping may damage cost concrete surfaces. c. Provide top forms for inclined surfaces where slope is too steep to place concrete with bottom forms only. CONCRETE FORMWORK 031000-3 ROTHENBERG ARCHITECTURE SW REGIONAL PARK 11/11/2010 ADMINISTRATION FACILITIES d. Form exposed corners of beams and columns with beveled chamfer strips. e. Kerf wood inserts for forming keyways, reglets, and recesses to ease removal. f. Provide camber in formwork as indicated on the Drawings. 3. Support: Provide bracing to ensure stability of formwork. a. Erect and maintain bracing to support vertical, lateral, and asymmetrical loads until such loading can be supported by inplace concrete structures. b. Provide shores and struts with means of adjustment capable of taking up formwork settlement occurring during placement of concrete, using wedges, jacks, or a combination there of. 4. Provisions for Other Trades: a. Provide openings in concrete formwork to accommodate work of other trades. b. Accurately place and securely support items to be built into forms. 5.

Provide temporary openings at the base of column and wall forms. e. Position temporary openings in an inconspicuous location. f. Brace closures of temporary openings and set tightly to forms to prevent loss of concrete mortar. g. Preparation and Tightening: Thoroughly clean forms and adjacent surfaces to receive concrete. i. Form Surface Treatment: a. Before placing reinforcing steel or concrete, coat the form surfaces with a material that will effectively prevent absorption of moisture, prevent bond with concrete, and not stain concrete. b. A field applied form release agent or factory applied nonabsorptive liner may be used. c. Do not allow form release agent to stand in puddles, come into contact with reinforcing steel or hardened concrete against which fresh concrete is to be placed. d. Remove loose metal, wood chips, sawdust, dirt, trash, and other debris just prior to concrete placement. ii. Re-tighten forms during and immediately after concrete placement to eliminate mortar leaks. B. Installation Tolerances: 1 . Construct formwork in accordance with tolerances specified in ACI 117.
