Adjustments to reinforcing details outside of <br /> 18 specified tolerances to avoid interferences and for other purposes are acceptable when <br /> 19 approved by the Engineer. <br /> 20 <br /> 21 When spacing between bars is 1 foot or more, they shall be tied at all intersections. When <br /> 22 spacing is less than 1 foot, every other intersection shall be tied. If the Plans require <br /> 23 bundled bars, they shall be tied together with wires at least every 6 feet. All epoxy-coated <br /> 24 bars in the top mat of the bridge deck shall be tied at all intersections, however they may be <br /> 25 tied at alternate intersections when spacing is less than 1 foot in each direction and they <br /> 111 <br /> 26 are supported by continuous supports meeting all other requirements of supports for epoxy- <br /> 27 coated bars. Other epoxy-coated bars shall also be tied at all intersections, but shall be tied <br /> 28 at alternate intersections when spacing is less than 1 foot in each direction. Wire used for <br /> 29 tying epoxy-coated reinforcing steel shall be plastic coated. Tack welding is not permitted I <br /> 30 on reinforcing steel. <br /> 31 <br /> 32 Abrupt bends in the steel are permitted only when one steel member bends around <br /> 33 another. Vertical stirrups shall pass around main reinforcement or be firmly attached to it. <br /> 34 <br /> 35 For slip-formed concrete, the reinforcing steel bars shall be tied at all intersections and <br /> 36 cross braced to keep the cage from moving during concrete placement. Cross bracing shall <br /> 37 be with additional reinforcing steel. Cross bracing shall be placed both longitudinally and <br /> 38 transversely. <br /> 39 111 <br /> 40 After reinforcing steel bars are placed in a traffic or pedestrian barrier and prior to slip-form <br /> 41 concrete placement, the Contractor shall check clearances and reinforcing steel bar <br /> 42 placement. This check shall be accomplished by using a template or by operating the slip- <br /> 43 form machine over the entire length of the traffic or pedestrian barrier. All clearance and <br /> 44 reinforcing steel bar placement deficiencies shall be corrected by the Contractor before <br /> 45 slip-form concrete placement. , <br /> 46 <br /> 47 Precast concrete supports (or other accepted devices) shall be used to maintain the <br /> 48 concrete coverage required by the Plans. The precast concrete supports shall: <br /> 49 <br /> 50 1.
