The plan shall include a crane foundation stability analysis <br /> 11 and crane load calculations for the work. The plan shall detail the containment, <br /> I 12 collection, and disposal of all debris. The plan shall show all stages of demolition. <br /> 13 <br /> 14 When the bridge removal work includes removal of a truss, and when the <br /> 15 Contractor's removal method involves use of a crane or cranes to pick, lift, and <br /> 16 remove the truss, the Contractor shall confirm the truss dead load weight prior to <br /> 17 beginning the truss removal operation. The operation of confirming the truss dead <br /> 18 load shall be performed at both ends of the truss, and shall ensure that the truss is <br /> 19 broken free of its support bearings. The Contractor's method of confirming the <br /> 20 truss dead load, whether by hydraulic jacks or other means, shall be included in the <br /> 21 Contractor's bridge demolition plan submittal. <br /> I 22 <br /> 23 When the bridge removal work involves removing portions of existing concrete <br /> 24 without replacement, the methods and tools used to achieve the smooth surface <br /> I 25 and profile specified in Section 2-02.3(2)A2 shall be included in the Contractor's <br /> 26 bridge demolition plan submittal. <br /> 27 <br /> I 28 2-02.3(2)A2 Removing Portions of Existing Concrete <br /> 29 Care shall be taken in removing concrete to prevent overbreakage or damage to <br /> 30 portions of the existing Structure which are to remain. Before concrete removal <br /> I 31 begins, a saw cut shall be made into the surface of the concrete at the perimeter of <br /> 32 the removal limits. The saw cut shall be 3/4-inch deep when the steel <br /> 33 reinforcement is to remain, and may be deeper when the steel reinforcement is <br /> I <br /> 34 removed with the concrete. <br /> 35 <br /> 36 Concrete shall be completely removed (exposing the deformed surface of the bar) <br /> 37 from existing steel reinforcing bars which extend from the existing members and <br /> I 38 are specified to remain. Steel reinforcing bars that are not designated to remain <br /> 39 shall be cut a minimum of 1-inch behind the final surface. The void left by removal <br /> 40 of the steel reinforcing bar shall be filled with mortar conforming to Section 9- <br /> I <br /> 41 20.4(2). The mortar shall match the color of the existing concrete surface as nearly <br /> 42 as practicable. <br /> 43 <br /> I 44 The Contractor shall roughen, clean, and saturate existing concrete surfaces, <br /> 45 against which fresh concrete will be placed, in accordance with Section 6- <br /> 46 02.3(12)B. When a portion of existing concrete is to be removed without <br /> I 47 replacement, concrete shall be removed to a clean line with a smooth surface of <br /> 48 less than 1/16 inch profile. <br /> 49 <br /> I 50 2-02.3(2)A3 Use of Explosives for Bridge Demolition <br /> 51 Explosives shall not be used for bridge demolition, except as specifically allowed by <br /> 52 the Special Provisions. <br /> I <br /> I AMENDMENTS TO THE 2014 STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS BOOK <br /> Revised: 8/3/15 <br />
