should be brought to the attention of the Engineer.
2. All reinforcing with deterioration of more than 15% of the original bar diameter, as
determined by the Engineer, shall be replaced.
a. NOTE: The unit cost/pricing for all concrete repairs (e.g., Partial Deck, Through -
Deck, Edge Repair, etc.) shall include the removal of existing deteriorated steel
reinforcement (if required) and the installation of NEW steel reinforcement
(dowelling -in with epoxy and/or lap splicing).

length of the reinforcing a minimum of 40 diameters beyond the deterioration into sound
concrete to permit splicing of the reinforcing. Minimum lap splice overlap area as follows: #3
bars- 15", #4 bars- 20", #5 bars- 25", #6 bars- 30' and #7 bars — 35".
4. After the reinforcing has been prepared, lap the new reinforcing beside the entire length of

Crack Repalr
1. Crack repairs will be performed for all areas identified by the Engineer. Cracks, which are a
direct result of new concrete placement or Contractors' means or methods, will be repaired
at no additional cost to the Owner.
2. Remove all loose and unsound concrete within and adjacent to the crack.
3. For gravity feed applications of topside horizontal cracks, v-notch the surface of the crack
with a mechanical router or hand shipping tool to maximum width of %4". Remove loose
debris. Substrate may be dry or damp but must be clear of standing water prior to product
application. Where it is determined the crack is through the full depth of the slab, seal the
underside of the crack with Epoxy Gel as listed above to act as a dam to hold the liquid
epoxy resin adhesive until cured. Maximum application thickness of Epoxy Gel not the
exceed %4". Pour Epoxy Binder into the v-notch until the crack is completely filled, adding
more resin as the product penetrates. Allow to cure and grind to a flat finish.
4. For pressure injection applications, remove loose and deteriorated materials for 1 inch on
each side of the crack. Assure surfaces are sound, clean, and free of all bond -inhibiting
materials including oil, dust, and dirt. Blow the crack clean with oil -free compressed air.
Surfaces must be dry or damp, and free from standing water. Install injection ports with
Epoxy Gel, directly to the crack. Using a putty knife, force the material against the concrete
and around the injection port, sealing the surface of the crack. Allow the gel to cure before
pressure injecting the crack with Epoxy Binder using standard pressure injection equipment.
STUCCO REPAIRS
Inspection
1. Before plaster is applied, surfaces to be plastered shall be carefully examined by the
Contractor. The Engineer shall be notified of unsatisfactory surfaces or conditions.
Application of plaster shall not proceed until any imperfections, irregularities and
unsatisfactory conditions that may compromise the final finish shall be corrected and ready
to receive work.
2. Proceeding with the application will constitute acceptance of the substrate by the Contractor.
Any corrective effort required to correct the substrate after application of the stucco will be at
the Contractor's sole expense.
a. Masonry: Verify joints are cut flush and surface is ready to receive work of the
Section. Verify no bituminous or water repellent coatings exist on masonry surfaces
that would affect the adhesion of the stucco finish.
b. Concrete: Verify surfaces are flat, honeycomb is filled flush, and the surface is ready
to receive work of this Section. Verify no bituminous, water repellent, or form release
agents exist on concrete surfaces that are detrimental to plaster.
c. Grounds and Blocking: Verify items within walls for other Sections of work have
been installed.
