Page 3
1. Warpage: Not to exceed one-eighth (1/8) inch per six (6) feet of length.
2. Linear Shrinkage: Shrinkage in any dimension shall not exceed plus or minus one-eighth (1/8) inch.
3. Squareness: No unit shall be more than one-eighth (1/8) inch in six (6) feet out of square.
4. Location of Inserts: In locations shown on drawings without any deviations.
5. Reinforcing: Within plus or minus one-fourth (1/4) inch of the position given on shop drawings.
3.06. CURING AND PROTECTION
A. Protect freshly placed concrete from washing by rain, flowing water, etc. Do not allow the concrete to dry out
from the time it is deposited in the forms until the expiration of the curing period. Finished surfaces shall be
cured with black polyethylene film secured tightly to the form to prevent evaporation of moisture. In no case
shall the covering be removed before a period of at least seven (7) days has elapsed after the placing and
finishing of the concrete. Curing liquid, if used, shall be applied in accordance with the recommendations of
the manufacturer of the material approved for use, and to sufficient extent to effectively hold the moisture in
the concrete.
3.07. LIFTING AND ERECTION OF PANELS
A. The Contractor shall not lift panels out of forms until the panels have gained a compressive strength of 2500
psi. Panels shall be stored and cured in a flat position to prevent warpage.
B. The panels shall be sufficiently braced until attached to the floor and roof structural assemblies. Panels shall
be accurately positioned and plumbed before welding connection plates and expansion joint material shall be
cemented to the end face of an erected panel before the adjacent panel is set. All lifting and erection shall be
accomplished in a neat and workmanlike manner to prevent cracking, breaking or damaging panels or other
work in any way.
1. Damaged Panels: Any panels showing defects of any kind shall be set only at the risk of the Contractor.
All defects shall be repaired to the satisfaction of the Architect, or shall be replaced; to the end that all
panels, upon completion of the work, be acceptable in every detail.
2. Setting: Set panels and anchor to the structure as detailed on the Drawings.
3.08. TEMPORARY BRACING OF PANELS
A. Provide temporary bracing for panels to resist lateral wind pressures required by the Building Code. Bracing
shall remain in place until permanent structural bracing system is installed and connections are complete.
