standards and specifications.
(NTS: Select and list specification sections for inserting into this subsection based
on the following:
1. Specification sections that contain products and construction that the reader
might expect to find in this section BUT are specified elsewhere.
2. Specification sections referenced in the body of this section.)

1.03 REFERENCES:
(NTS: Select the appropriate references to be included in the project. Add or edit
references as appropriate. Delete those references that are not applicable.)
A. American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO):

Precast and Prestressed Concrete Products.
1.04 SUBMITTALS:
D. Design Responsibility:
B. Coordinate the delivery, storage, handling and erection of the concrete barriers.
C. Store barriers on clean blocking, off the ground and protected from rain and
ground splatter. Cover barriers with durable covers of canvas, heavy waterproof
paper or plastic sheeting. Secure covers firmly and protect the barriers from dust,
dirt or other materials that may stain concrete.
E. Concrete: Regular weight structural concrete having a nominal unit weight of 150
lb. per cubic foot [2400 kg per cubic meter]. Minimum compressive strength of
5,000 psi [35 MPa] at 28 days.
F. Metal inserts, plates and appurtenances built into concrete barriers which will not
be entirely encased in concrete shall be hot-dip galvanized ferrous metal
conforming to ASTM A 123 and ASTM A 153. Aluminum shall not be
embedded in concrete.
PART 3 - EXECUTION
3.01 FABRICATION:
A. Fabricate concrete barriers in accordance with M.L.-116 and Sections 03200 and
03300.
B. Cast concrete barriers in smooth, rigid forms to sizes, lengths and profiles
indicated on the drawings. Properly vibrate concrete. Apply an Architectural
Class B Finish as defined by PCI to all exposed surfaces. Local surface patching
to obtain a smooth finish will be permitted only where extent of such work is
minor and where appearance is not adversely affected. Chamfer all exposed
edges 3/4 inch [19 mm].
3.02 INSTALLATION:
A. Lift and support members during transportation and erection at same points where
members will be supported in place.
D. Field cutting or coring is not permitted without the written approval of the
Structural Engineer who has signed and sealed the Certificate of Design.
