40-27 BUILDING <br />CAST -IN -PLACE CONCRETE I <br />BRPH ARCHITECTS -ENGINEERS, INC. <br />B. Smooth -Formed Finish: As -cast concrete texture imparted by form -facing material, <br />arranged in an orderly and symmetrical manner with a minimum of seams. Repair and <br />patch tie holes and defects. Remove fins and other projections that exceed specified <br />limits on formed -surface irregularities. <br />Apply to concrete surfaces exposed to view. <br />C. Related Unformed Surfaces: At tops of walls, horizontal offsets, and similar unformed <br />surfaces adjacent to formed surfaces, strike off smooth and finish with a texture <br />matching adjacent formed surfaces. Continue final surface treatment of formed <br />surfaces uniformly across adjacent unformed surfaces unless otherwise indicated. <br />3.9 FINISHING FLOORS AND SLABS <br />A. General: Comply with ACI 302.1 R recommendations for screeding, restraightening, <br />and finishing operations for concrete surfaces. Do not wet concrete surfaces. <br />B. Float Finish: Consolidate surface with power -driven floats or by hand floating if area is <br />small or inaccessible to power driven floats. Restraighten, cut down high spots, and fill <br />low spots. Repeat float passes and restraightening until surface is left with a uniform, <br />smooth, granular texture. <br />Apply float finish to surfaces to receive trowel finish. <br />C. Trowel Finish: After applying float finish, apply first troweling and consolidate concrete <br />by hand or power -driven trowel. Continue troweling passes and restraighten until <br />surface is free of trowel marks and uniform in texture and appearance. Grind smooth <br />any surface defects that would telegraph through applied coatings or floor coverings. <br />1. Apply a trowel finish to surfaces exposed to view or to be covered with resilient <br />flooring, carpet, ceramic or quarry tile set over a cleavage membrane, paint, or <br />another thin -film -finish coating system. <br />2. Finish surfaces to the following tolerances, according to ASTM E 1155, for a <br />randomly trafficked floor surface: <br />a. Specified overall values of flatness, F(F) 35; and of levelness, F(L) 25; with <br />minimum local values of flatness, F(F) 24; and of levelness, F(L) 17; for <br />slabs -on -grade. <br />D. Trowel and Fine -Broom Finish: Apply a first trowel finish to surfaces where ceramic or <br />quarry tile is to be installed by either thickset or thin -set method. While concrete is still <br />plastic, slightly scarify surface with a fine broom. <br />Comply with flatness and levelness tolerances for trowel -finished floor surfaces. <br />E. Broom Finish: Apply a broom finish to exterior concrete platforms, steps, ramps, and <br />elsewhere as indicated. <br />Immediately after float finishing, slightly roughen trafficked surface by brooming <br />with fiber -bristle broom perpendicular to main traffic route. Coordinate required <br />final finish with Architect before application. <br />C06922.001.00 03 30 04 - 14 <br />05-22-14 <br />
