laboratory test results showing the product meets Department specifications will be <br /> required. The product shall be a packaged, pre-blended, and dry combination of <br /> materials, for the wet-mix shotcrete method according to ASTM C 1480. A non- <br /> chloride accelerator may be used according to the shotcrete manufacturer's <br /> recommendations. The shotcrete shall be Type FA or CA, Grade FR, and Class I. <br /> The fibers shall be Type III synthetic according to ASTM C 1116. <br /> The packaged shotcrete shall have a water soluble chloride ion content of less <br /> than 0.40 Ib/cu yd (0.24 kg/cu m). The test shall be performed according to ASTM <br /> C 1218, and the hardened shotcrete shall have an age of 28 to 42 days at the time <br /> of test. The ASTM C 1218 test shall be performed by an independent lab a <br /> minimum of once every two years, and the test results shall be provided to the <br /> Department. <br /> Each individual aggregate used in the packaged shotcrete shall have either a <br /> maximum ASTM C 1260 expansion of 0.16 percent or a maximum ASTM C 1293 <br /> expansion of 0.040 percent. However, the ASTM C 1260 value may be increased <br /> to 0.27 percent for each individual aggregate if the cement total equivalent alkali <br /> content (Na2O + 0.658K2O) does not exceed 0.60 percent. As an alternative to <br /> these requirements, ASTM C 1567 testing which shows the packaged shotcrete <br /> has a maximum expansion of 0.16 percent may be submitted. The ASTM C 1260, <br /> C 1293, or C 1567 test shall be performed a minimum of once every two years. <br /> The 7 and 28 day compressive strength requirements in ASTM C 1480 shall not <br /> apply. Instead the shotcrete shall obtain a minimum compressive strength of 4000 <br /> psi (27,500 kPa) at 14 days. <br /> The packaged shotcrete shall be limited to the following proportions: <br /> The portland cement and finely divided minerals shall be 6.05 cwt/cu yd (360 kg/cu <br /> m) to 8.50 cwt/cu yd (505 kg/cu m) for Type FA and 6.05 cwt/cu yd (360 kg/cu. m) <br /> to 7.50 cwt/cu yd (445 kg/cu m) for Type CA. The portland cement shall not be <br /> below 4.70 cwt/cu yd (279 kg/cu m) for Type FA or CA. <br /> The finely divided mineral(s) shall constitute a maximum of 35 percent of the total <br /> cement plus finely divided mineral(s). <br /> Class F fly ash is optional and the maximum shall be 20 percent by weight (mass) <br /> of cement. <br /> iClass C fly ash is optional and the maximum shall be 25 percent by weight (mass) <br /> of cement. <br /> Ground granulated blast-furnace slag is optional and the maximum shall be 30 <br /> percent by weight (mass) of cement. <br /> i <br />
