SECTION 03 47 13
TILT-UP CONCRETE

<Project name>, <City, State>

NOTES TO THE SPECIFIER (delete before issue)
1. This is a draft for the design professional of record to review, edit, and take responsibility for. It is not sealed and no licensed professional has reviewed it. Text in [square brackets] is a selection still to be made; text in <angle brackets> is a value to insert.
2. Structural design criteria, loads, and deflection limits are not written here. The section points at the contract drawings, or at delegated design, as chosen on the intake.
3. Standards are cited by designation. The section requires compliance with PCI manuals and specifications by name and does not reproduce their text; keep them available to the bidders.
4. PCI Architectural Certification category: The work asks for more than one mixture or texture on a unit, or shaped faces beyond flat panels with reveals, which is the Category AB profile. AB producers demonstrate multiple face mixtures, white cement capability, and returns cast in one pour.
5. Tilt-up panels are site cast. The plant certification articles are replaced with contractor qualification and site casting requirements; finish, thin brick, and formliner articles are the same as for plant-cast work.

Where ASTM C1088 and the PCI specification differ, the more stringent requirement governs.
    B.  Basis of design: [insert manufacturer], color or blend [as selected from the manufacturer's full range]. Products of Endicott, MetroBrick, Summitville, General Shale, and King Klinker that meet this Section may be proposed.
    C.  Face size: [Modular, 2-1/4 by 7-5/8 in.] [Norman, 2-1/4 by 11-5/8 in.] [Closure modular, 3-5/8 by 7-5/8 in.] [Utility, 3-5/8 by 11-5/8 in.]. Thickness not less than 1/2 in. and not more than 1 in., and consistent within the tolerance of the PCI specification across the order.
    D.  Special shapes: corners, edge caps, and edge-cap corners of the same body and finish as the field units, at every outside corner and every exposed panel edge where a full brick face is required.
    E.  Back surface: scored, combed, wire-roughened, ribbed, keybacked, or dovetailed, and of the same texture as the units on which the pull-out and freeze-thaw tests were run. A smooth back is not acceptable.
    F.

    H.  Bond pattern: [half (running) bond] [third bond] [stacked bond] [as indicated on the drawings].
    I.  Joints: [3/8 in.] wide, [raked] [concave] [flush] [vee] [weathered] profile, formed by the liner with the face concrete, not pointed. Joint color: [match design reference sample], produced by the face mixture; no applied mortar or stain.
    J.  Brick formliner: an elastomeric or plastic liner with pockets sized to the brick tolerance range, holding each unit to the face without rotation or float, and forming the joint profile specified. Basis of design: Advanced Formliners, Sparta, Wisconsin, Solocast (single use) or Flex2Fit (multiple use), with pocket dimensions matched to the brick supplied. Liners of another manufacturer that meet this paragraph may be proposed under Division 01.
    K.  Coursing: lay out brick coursing on the shop drawings so that joints align across panel joints, corners turn with full corner units, and cut units are avoided on exposed faces. Where a cut is unavoidable, place it at a reveal or a panel joint, never at a corner.

2.6  TEXTURED FORMLINERS
    A.  Formliner: [insert pattern name and code], basis of design Advanced Formliners, Sparta, Wisconsin, Solocast Seamless line. Liners of another manufacturer producing the same pattern, relief, and draft may be proposed under Division 01 and are accepted only on a cast sample matched to the design reference sample.
    B.  Material: elastomeric (polyurethane) for multiple uses, or a single-use plastic liner, as the producer proposes for the number of casts required. Draft on every relief face not less than the manufacturer publishes for the pattern, and in no case less than 1:8 unless the pattern is specifically designed for stripping at a lesser draft.
    C.  Layout: lay out liner sheets on the shop drawings with seams at reveals, rustications, or panel joints where the pattern allows. Where a seam must fall within a field, butt sheets tightly, match pattern registration, and seal the seam so that no fin or offset shows on the cast face at the acceptance distance.
    D.  Uses: retire a multi-use liner before the pattern softens, fills, or tears; the cast face of the last unit must match the accepted mockup. Do not reuse a single-use liner.
    E.  Form-release agent: compatible with the liner material and the finish, applied thinly and evenly, and not one that stains or interferes with a sealer or coating specified elsewhere.

2.7  CONCRETE MIXTURES
    A.  Proportion mixtures per ACI 211.1 and trial batches. Face mixture and backup mixture may differ; the face mixture is not less than 1 in. thick after consolidation, and thicker where the finish removes surface material.
    B.  Compressive strength: not less than 4,000 psi at 28 days, or as the structural drawings require, whichever is greater.
    C.  Air content of exposed-face concrete: [4 to 6 percent for freeze-thaw exposure], measured per ASTM C231/C231M.
    D.  Water-cementitious materials ratio: not more than 0.45 for exposed-face concrete, and not more than 0.40 where the face is exposed to de-icing salts.
    E.  Consistency: as the producer establishes for full consolidation without segregation; self-consolidating concrete may be used where the design reference sample was made with it.
    F.  Face mixture at thin brick: proportioned to flow into the joint pockets of the liner and fill them completely without voids, and with an aggregate top size that passes freely between units at the joint width specified.
    G.  One source for cement, aggregate, and pigment for the duration of the Work; a change of source requires a new design reference sample and acceptance.

2.8  FORMS AND MOLDS
    A.  Forms: rigid, dimensionally stable, and tight, producing units within the tolerances of Article 2.10, with the corners, reveals, drips, and edges shown on the drawings. Form face material for exposed faces free of defects that would transfer to the concrete.
    B.  Chamfers, reveals, and rustications: as detailed, with draft on every face that is stripped past; no sharp arrises on exposed edges unless detailed and accepted on the mockup.
    C.  Liner attachment: fixed to the form so that the liner does not lift, shift, or wrinkle under placement; liner joints and edges sealed against paste leakage.
    D.  Form-release agent: one that leaves no residue affecting color, bond of finishes or sealers, or the appearance of the exposed face.

2.9  FABRICATION
    A.  Cast panels on a prepared casting slab with a bond breaker that does not stain or affect the finish, in the sequence and with the lifting and bracing inserts on the approved shop drawings.
    B.  Place the face mixture against the form face first where a separate backup mixture is used, and place the backup before the face mixture reaches initial set so that the two bond.
    C.  Set thin brick into the liner pockets by hand, drawing units from several pallets, oriented for the bond pattern, with every corner and edge condition using the special shapes specified. Confirm that no unit is tilted, proud, or missing before concrete is placed. Keep brick faces clean of paste; where paste reaches a face, remove it before it hardens.
    D.  Cure units so that color is uniform across each unit and from unit to unit; do not let part of a unit dry faster than the rest. Steam curing, where used, is uniform across the unit.
    E.  Strip forms and liners at a strength that does not damage arrises, relief, or brick edges. Do not pry against an exposed face.
    F.  Identify each unit with its shop drawing mark on a face that is concealed in the completed work.

2.10  FABRICATION TOLERANCES
    A.  Fabricate panels within the tolerances of ACI 301 and ACI 117 for architectural concrete, unless a tighter tolerance is shown on the drawings.
    B.  Thin brick placement: joint width within plus or minus 1/16 in. of the specified width; units flush to the face plane within 1/16 in.; alignment of joints across a unit face within 1/8 in. in 10 ft, and across a panel joint within 1/8 in.
    C.  Liner seams and pattern registration: no offset at a seam greater than 1/16 in. on the cast face, and pattern alignment across a panel joint within 1/8 in. where the pattern is continuous.
    D.  Surface flatness of smooth exposed faces: within 1/8 in. in 10 ft; form-line offsets within 1/16 in. on exposed faces.

2.11  FINISHES
    A.  Finish each exposed face as scheduled on the drawings and matched to the accepted mockup and design reference sample. Finish returns and soffits to match the adjacent face unless another finish is scheduled.
    B.  Embedded thin brick: after stripping, joints are clean and uniformly profiled; brick faces are free of paste film after the cleaning of Article 2.12; no missing, broken, or replaced units on exposed faces except by the repair procedure.
    C.  Formliner texture: full relief, crisp arrises, no bug holes larger than the mockup shows, no fins or paste bleed at seams, and pattern orientation as shown.
    D.  Repairs: only by the accepted repair procedure and materials, matched in color and texture, and invisible at the acceptance viewing distance. Units with repairs that fail this test are rejected.

2.12  SOURCE QUALITY CONTROL
    A.  Field quality control of casting per ACI 301, with the finish inspections this Section adds.
    B.  Concrete testing: sample and test each mixture per ASTM C31/C31M, C39/C39M, C143/C143M, C231/C231M, and C1064/C1064M at the frequency of ACI 301, and at not less than one set per day of casting for exposed-face concrete.
    C.  Thin brick: verify each delivery against the manufacturer certificate, measure a sample of units for dimensional tolerance per the modified ASTM C67 procedure in PCI RP-152, and reject lots outside tolerance before setting.
    D.  Cleaning after stripping: remove form-release residue, paste film, and curing compound from exposed faces by the method accepted on the mockup; no acid on brick faces or metal, and no method that alters color or texture.
    E.  Architect inspection: the Architect may inspect units at the site at any stage. Acceptance of a unit at the casting bed does not waive rejection of a unit damaged afterwards.

PART 3  EXECUTION

3.1  EXAMINATION
    A.  Examine supporting structure, bearing surfaces, anchors, and embedded items for location, elevation, and condition before erection. Report variances that would put units outside the erection tolerances, and do not proceed until they are corrected.
    B.  Verify that field dimensions match the shop drawings, and that adjacent work (field-laid masonry, windows, flashings) is coordinated with the joints and reveals of the units.

3.2  LIFTING AND SETTING
    A.  Erect units per PCI MNL-127 and the accepted erection and bracing plan, by the Contractor, with lifting devices, rigging, and crane positions that do not overstress the units. Set each unit level, plumb, and to line on shims and bearing pads, and brace it until the permanent connections are complete.
    B.  Connections: weld, bolt, or grout per the shop drawings. Protect exposed faces from weld spatter and heat; clean and coat field welds and damaged galvanizing with zinc-rich coating. Grout bearing and connection pockets solid and cure the grout.
    C.  Do not field cut, core, or drill units except where the shop drawings show it or the producer approves it in writing.
    D.  Joints: maintain the joint width shown, [3/4 in. typical] uniform along the full length, with backer rod and sealant by others under Section 07 92 00.

3.3  ERECTION TOLERANCES
    A.  Set panels within the tolerances of ACI 117 for precast and tilt-up elements, and within the joint width shown.
    B.  Jog between adjacent exposed faces at a joint not more than 1/4 in. for smooth faces, and not more than 1/8 in. where thin brick or a formliner pattern continues across the joint.
    C.  Where the structure is out of tolerance, do not force units to line; report and resolve before setting.

3.4  FIELD QUALITY CONTROL
    A.  The Owner may engage a testing agency to inspect erection, connections, welds, and grout. Field welds are visually inspected and, where the drawings require, tested per AWS D1.1/D1.1M.
    B.  Finish inspection after erection: the Architect reviews exposed faces at the acceptance viewing distance in daylight and identifies units for repair or replacement.

3.5  REPAIRS
    A.  Repair damage only by the accepted procedure, using materials matched to the unit and the finish, by workers who repaired the mockup or the first accepted repair. Repairs must be invisible at the acceptance distance; otherwise the unit is replaced at no change in the Contract Sum or Time.
    B.  Missing or broken thin brick: replace with units from the same production run set in a matching bonding material, with joints matched to the adjacent liner-formed joints; a visible patch is not accepted.
    C.  Cracks on exposed faces: reviewed by the Architect. Structural cracks are cause for rejection. Non-structural cracks may be repaired by epoxy injection per ASTM C881/C881M and finished to match only where the Architect accepts the repair.

3.6  CLEANING AND PROTECTION
    A.  Clean exposed faces after erection by the method accepted on the mockup, starting with water and mild detergent and escalating only with the Architect's acceptance. No acid on thin brick faces, connections, or adjacent metal. Protect adjacent materials from run-off.
    B.  Protect finished faces from staining, sealant smears, weld spatter, and construction traffic until Substantial Completion. Remove protection and leave surfaces clean.
    C.  Water repellent: [apply a penetrating silane or siloxane sealer under Section 07 19 00 after cleaning, accepted first on a sample area for appearance] [not required].
