pressures ca,ised by the plastic concrete shall. not exceed the loads
used in the design of forms.
The method and manner of placing shall be such as to avoid the
possibility of segregation or separation of the aggregate or the
displacement of the reinforcement. Concrete shall not have a free
fall of more than eight (8) feet. The spattering of forms or
reinforcement bars shall be prevented if the concrete so spattered
will dry or harden before being incorporated in the mass,
Concrete shall be placed in continuous horizontal layers approxi-

SECTION 114 _ CONCRETE CULVERT
114.1 GENERAL= The work under thin item consists of furnishing
all labor, material and equipment for installation of storm sewer
pipe as shows. -'i the plans and provided i.n these epoci.fications.
17.4.2 PI'LU Pipe used in the storm drainage sysL•om shall comply
in all respects with the lateqt requirements of the Standard
Specifications for Reinford.ed Concrotce Culvert ripe, ASTM Designa-
tion C-76-55. The pipe shall be Clams III
Pipe shall be machine made and shad be steam cured in accordance
with ASTM Spec:ifirlation C76057T for a sufficient time to obtain
the required physical strength requirements.
114.3 I,dr1'QgJ C:ONCRLTE T2KggE AND d O0VE J0IN11' PTPEJ
a. .1Jar.1dl,,Jngl. Care shall be exercised in loading, unload-
ing and handling the pipe to avoid shock or damage. All material
found during the progress of work to have cracks, flaws, or other
defects will, be rejected by the Engineer, and the Contractor shall
promptly ~:emai!e such deflective material from the site of the work.
b. R).a kUinat The laying of pipes in finished trenches
shall be commenced at the lowest point, so that spigot ends point
in the diroctJon of flow, All pipes shall be 1. id with ends abutting
and true to 11no and grade. They shall be fitted and matched so
that when Jnid, they will form a sower with a smooth and uniform
invert.. No pipe shall be laid when the trench and weather conditions,
are unsuitable in the opinion of the Engineer.
c. Jsi,ntina the Pines All pipe shall be closely jointed
and sealed with stiff mortar, composed of one part Portland cement
and two parts sand, so placed as to form a durable watertight joint.
The ends of the pipe shall be thoroughly cleaned and wetted before
making the joint. After any section of pipe is laid and before
any succeeding section is laid, the lower half of the bell of the
pipe larit laid shall be thoroughly plastered by troweling on An
even layer of mortar, The spigot end of the next section of pipe
shall than be inserted, holding it as high as possible until it ie
fully inoorted and then lowering it gently on the mortar.. After
the section is laid and uniformly matched and the sections have
been fitted as close as the construction of the pipe will permit,
the lower half of the inner eircumfereace of the joints of pipe
' over eighteen (1811) inches in diameter shall be sealed and packed
with mortar and finished smooth and even with the adjacent sections
of pipe, Before this mortar has attained initial set, additional
mortar shill then be applied from the outside and forced into the
unfilled portion of the bell or groove to fill completely the annular
space around the spigot or tongue. For tongue and groove pipe, a
)aead shall be formed extondinq at least one inch on o thor side
of the joint and of approxima t.ely semi-circular croo(i...section is
used, it shall be formed by p Licing the mortar at approximately
45 degrees outward from the extrome edges of tho l)o<.:d. por. pipes
too small to permit finish of tho inside surfaco of Lho joint, a
tight stopper oL burlap or of:ber etlui.valent mator.i.nlr: shall be
dragged through the pipe past the new joint to romovra any tins of
mortar.
d,. Voundati0iLs All. )i.pe shill be bedded in a foundation
of stable etarth materiallcarr,.Eully and accurately shaped to fit
the lower part of the pipe es,tension for at least: twenty per cent
of its overall height. Where rack, in either lodge or boulder
formation is encountered, it n:hall be removed below grade and
replaced with suitab'.e materials in such manner as to provide a
compacl,oc' earth cushion having a thickness under the pipe of not
less than uvia-half inch per foot 'height or fill over the top of
the plpo, withtl iminimum allowable thickness of eight (B") inches.
114.4 INTERFERENCE WITH EXISTIA1G STRUCTURES: In oxcavating and
back f,iIling h:enchei§ and consti:ucting storm sewers, special care
must be Laken not to remove or injure any existing gas, water,
sewer, or (khor pipes, conduits or other structures without explicit
instructions of the Engineer. If necessary, the Contractor shall,
at his own expense, sing, shore up and/or otherwise secure and
maintain a continuous flow in said structures, and shall repair
any and all damages done to them. In the event a sewer line is
broken or damaged In the courso of the installation of the storm
sewers, the pipe shall be replaced with cast iron pipe of the same
size, which shall extend a minimum of two (21) foot on each side of
the trench excavation.
114.5 1AC 1, Good sound earth from the spoil bank shall be
brought up in mechanical tamped layers not exceeding six (6110
inches in thickness of loose fill approximately equal on each aide
of the pipe to a height of twelve (1211) inches over the top of the
pipe. From that point the trench shall be brought up in layers
not exceeding three (31) feet loose fill each layer being mechanically
tamped with a hydro hammer. The backfill material shall be moistened
to facilitate compaction.
114.6 SUREMEK AND RYx, ` Pipe will be measured from center
of manhole to center of manhole or and of pipe without any deductions
for the length of intermediate specials. Payment will be made at
the price bid per foot fogm the pipe for the various sizes as set
forth in the Proposal. Tn o bid price shall include all costs for
the complete pipe installation and shall include any and all incidental
work not othrrwise included in the bid items or otherwise provided
for in these, vpo ifications; shall include all costs of materials,
