Specifications include, but are not limited to: A. Description The services to be provided consist of all testing of materials and special inspections in accordance with the contract documents, the uniform commercial code, and ASTM E29. Conditions of the site may adjust quantities of tests required. A laboratory testing program shall be required to provide sufficient data for proper engineering analysis. B. Sitework Work shall consist of: 1. Soil sampling and proctor tests on said samples. 2. Nuclear density tests on sub-grades, fill material, and backfill materials as placed. 3. Visual inspection of fill, sub-grade preparation, and backfill operations. C. Concrete Work shall consist of: 1. Slump tests – one at point of discharge for every three (3) loads, of each class of concrete placed in any one day. 2. One set of five (5) cylinders, cast by testing agency, for each fifty (50) cubic yards, or fraction thereof of each class of concrete placed in any one day. 3. Air entrainment tests – one for each set of cylinders cast. 4. Concrete temperature – tested hourly when air temperature is below 40 degrees F. or above 80 degrees F., each time a set of cylinders is cast. 5. Compressive strength tests – test one (1) cylinder at seven (7) days, two (2) cylinders at twenty-eight (28) days, one (1) cylinder at fifty-six (56) days and one (1) cylinder shall be retained in reserve for later testing if required. D. Masonry Work shall consist of: 1. Compression testing of grouted prisms, Mortar, and Grout, – for each type of wall construction and for each five thousand (5000) square feet of wall area, in accordance with ASTM E447; method B, test one set of five (5) prisms. Test One (1) prism at seven (7) days, two (2) prisms at twenty-eight (28) days, one (1) prism at 56 days and one held in reserve for later testing if required. 2. Continuous visual inspection of placement of masonry units, placement of reinforcing, and all grouting operations. E. Structural Steel Work shall consist of: 1. Inspection agency to inspect high-strength bolted connections and welded connections and to perform tests and prepare test reports as required by governing agencies. 2. Testing agency shall conduct and interpret tests, state in each report whether test specimens comply with requirements, and specifically state any deviations there from. 3. For structural component with welded connections fabricated off site perform welding inspections at plant before shipment.
