This section gives the requirements for the concrete reinforcement to be used in cast-in-place concrete.
(Ordinance 2007-106, App. B, adopted 3/20/07)
There will be no separate measurement or payment for work performed under this section unless otherwise shown on the Bid Form.
(Ordinance 2007-106, App. B, adopted 3/20/07)
The applicable provisions of the following standards shall apply as if written here in their entirety:
A. 
American Society for Testing and Materials.
ASTM A-615, “Deformed and Plain Billet-Steel Bars for Concrete Reinforcement”
ASTM A-185, “Specification for Welded Steel Wire Fabric for Concrete Reinforcement”
ASTM A-306, “Specification for Carbon Steel Bars Subject to Mechanical Property Requirements”
B. 
American Concrete Institute.
ACI 315, “Manual of Standard Practice for Detailing Reinforced Concrete Structures”
ACI 318, “Building Code Requirements for Reinforced Concrete”
C. 
Concrete Reinforcing Steel Institute.
CRSI 163, “Recommended Practice for Placing Reinforcing Bars”
CRSI 165, “Recommended Practice for Placing Bar Supports, Specifications and Nomenclature”
(Ordinance 2007-106, App. B, adopted 3/20/07)
When required by the City of Magnolia, Engineer or designated representative of the Engineer, submit detailed shop drawings showing the bar locations, splices, sizes, length, type and spacing. Detailing of reinforcement shall be in accordance with the applicable American Concrete Institute (ACI) reference standard. The number of copies of shop drawings shall be as requested by the Engineer or designated representative of the Engineer.
(Ordinance 2007-106, App. B, adopted 3/20/07)
When required by the Engineer or designated representative of the Engineer, submit the manufacturer’s certificates showing the properties of the steel proposed for use. The certificates shall show the manufacturer’s test and heat number, chemical analysis, yield point, tensile strength and percent elongation.
(Ordinance 2007-106, App. B, adopted 3/20/07)
All steel reinforcement shall be stored above the ground on platforms, skids or other supports as approved by the Engineer or designated representative of the Engineer. Reinforcement shall be stored in a location such that it is protected from mechanical injury and rust. When place in the work, steel reinforcement shall be free from dirt, scale, dust, oil, paint and other material. Store steel reinforcement in an orderly fashion so that bars may be easily identified.
(Ordinance 2007-106, App. B, adopted 3/20/07)
Schedule the delivery of materials to the site and the installation of the reinforcement such that a minimum time of site storage is maintained for the reinforcement during the entire duration of the project.
(Ordinance 2007-106, App. B, adopted 3/20/07)
