United States16.2 During each inspection, the inspector shall examinecomplete units for all specified features that can be determinedby visual observation.6.3 The first section of each type of precast structure fromany set of forms shall be assembled by the manufacturerwithout grou
16、t and the inspector shall check that fit-up require-ments are as specified.6.4 The inspector shall check that all materials conform torequirements of Specification C858.7. Fabrication Inspection7.1 Reinforcing Steel:7.1.1 The inspector shall check all reinforcing steel todetermine that it has been c
17、overed by mill reports, with data inreports conforming to designated standard, and has not beendamaged. Material with kinks or bends not indicated onfabrication drawings shall not be used. Heating to bendmaterial is not permitted.7.1.2 All reinforcing steel shall be free of form releasecoatings and
18、loose rust as specified in Specification C858,although a light film of red rust is not objectionable.7.1.3 Reinforcing steel shall be checked for size, spacing,proper bends, and lengths in accordance with the drawings.7.2 Assembled Reinforcing Inspection:7.2.1 All material shall be properly spliced
19、and locatedaccording to the drawings.7.2.2 Reinforcing steel shall be secured in such a mannerthat shifting will not occur during handling of the cage orplacing of concrete. All chairs, bolsters, braces, and spacers incontact with form and reinforcing rod shall be of material thatwill not deteriorat
20、e. The cage shall be properly positioned inthe form to provide the specified concrete cover over the steel.7.2.3 The inspector shall check electrical ground connec-tions or any other special items as specified.7.3 Hardware Inspection:7.3.1 Hardware shall be inspected to ensure compliancewith purchas
21、ers specifications.7.3.2 Hardware shall be placed and securely fastened atdesignated locations to prevent shifting or movement duringconcrete placing.7.3.3 Hardware and other embedded items shall be free ofform release coatings.7.3.4 Threaded inserts and duct terminators shall be free ofconcrete and
22、 other foreign matter.7.4 Concrete Inspection:7.4.1 Concrete shall be placed to prevent segregation, voidsor honeycombed areas. Placing of concrete shall be observed toensure that it is being placed properly in accordance withapplicable standards.7.4.2 The inspector shall observe condition of concre
23、te afterthe forms are removed. Surfaces shall be sound. Patching andfinishing shall be permitted to remove minor honeycomb.Chips, voids, and through cracks shall be repaired by anacceptable method in accordance with Specification C858.Extensive voids, chips, through cracks, or deep honeycombshall be
24、 referred to the design engineer or purchasers engineerfor method of repair or acceptability.7.4.3 The inspector shall observe that specified curing isprovided.7.5 Dimensions InspectionThe inspector shall measure foroverall dimensions (that is, length, width, height, wallthickness, and squareness, e
25、tc.) the first concrete section ofeach type produced from each form. The tolerances shallcomply to the finished product in accordance to SpecificationC858.8. Tests8.1 The inspector shall check results of slump tests, ifspecified, for compliance to specifications.8.2 The inspector shall review compre
26、ssive strength data onproduct covered. If not to specified strength, the inspector shallhave concrete tested by method and manner agreed uponbetween the manufacturer and purchaser.9. Nonconforming Material9.1 Material found not to be in conformance with Specifi-cation C858 shall be rejected unless a
27、cceptance is authorized.10. Evidence of Inspection and Reporting10.1 Inspection documents, etc., shall be in accordance withthe specifications.10.2 Inspection records on products completed and shippedbetween inspections need only be prepared at the purchasersrequest.11.
