STANDARD CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATIONS PART 1 – ROADS

4.3.12.8 Rejecting Fresh Concrete


Prior to sampling, the Engineer may reject any batch or load of concrete that appears defective in
composition without testing. This includes cement content or aggregate proportions. Rejected
material shall not be incorporated in the structure.

4.3.12.9 Concrete with Nonconforming Strength


Concrete with tested compressive strengths (refer to Section 4.3.12) that fail to meet acceptance
level requirements will be rejected. Rejected concrete and the associated work shall be removed
and replaced at the Contractors expense. Removal and replacement limits will be evaluated and
approved by the Engineer prior to start of the Contractor’s removal work.

4.3.13 Curing Materials


All concrete curing compounds and concrete evaporation retardants must demonstrate conformance
to the requirements of these Standard Specifications. Each lot of the material shall be sampled at
the site of the works and tested for acceptance.
Material that fails to meet the requirements of these Standard Specifications shall not be used.

4.3.13.1 Sheet Materials for Curing Concrete


Sheet materials for curing concrete shall meet the requirements of ASTM C171, “Sheet Materials for
Curing Concrete,” except that only the white, reflective type shall be used.

4.3.13.2 Liquid Membrane-forming Concrete Curing Compounds


Liquid membrane-forming compounds used for curing concrete shall conform to ASTM C309, Type
1D or 2, Class A or B, requirements; except that the loss of water within 72 hours shall not exceed
0.40 kg/m2 for all applications, per ASTM C156.

4.3.13.3 Burlap Cloth


Burlap cloth shall meet the requirements of AASHTO M 182, Class 4.

4.3.13.4 Sampling
A product sample shall be submitted for each material under consideration, with the request for
approval of material. Sample sizes shall be per the applicable testing standard as described in the
subsections of Section 4.3.13, specifically:
• Sheet materials: ASTM C171
• Liquid membrane-forming compounds: ASTM C309
• Burlap cloth: AASHTO M 182
Sample containers for liquid membrane-forming concrete curing compound shall be standard friction
seal 500 ml cans, lined to prevent rusting. Cans for sampling at the manufacturing site shall be
provided by the manufacturer.
Sampling of liquid membrane-forming concrete curing compound shall comply with the following
procedures, as applicable:
For production sampling, the following should occur:
1. Select 3 samples during actual transfer, or filling, operations to the shipping containers.
2. Take the first sample from the fill stream after 15 %, but before 30 %, of material has been
transferred or filled. Label the sample No. 1 and indicate the approximate number of drums
filled.
