13、ne of the fence in accordance with 5.1. Forms are not necessary.5.3 Set posts in a vertical position, plumb and in line. Backfill concrete (2500 psi) 17.2 MPa(17.2 MPa) into the excavationand extend 2 in. 50 mm(50 mm) above grade. An alternative method is to stop footing 6 in. 152.4 mm(152.4 mm) bel
14、ow gradeto allow for cover with sod, black top, or other materials if the footings are not in an area subject to cathodic protection. In eithercase, crown the concrete at its top to shed water and slope a minimum of 2 in. 50.8 mm(50.8 mm) away from the post.5.4 The use of mechanical devices for the
15、setting of fence posts is acceptable under this practice, provided the mechanicalstrength in the ground is equal or superior to the strength developed by the concrete footing as recommended.5.5 When solid rock or concrete is encountered, without an overburden of soil, set posts in the solid rock or
16、concrete. The depthof the hole shall be three times the largest cross section of the posts. The diameter of the hole shall be12 in. 13 mm(13 mm)greater than the largest cross section of the post.5.6 The use of sleeves in order to leave voids in new concrete construction is recommended.5.7 Half-fill
17、the void with nonshrinkable hydraulic cement and force post to the bottom of the hole and plumb. Thoroughly workadditional grout into the hole so as to leave no voids. Crown the grout to shed water.5.8 Drive posts are to be driven by mechanical means to a minimum depth of 36 in. 914.4 mm(914.4 mm) o
18、r 6 in. 152.4mm(152.4 mm) greater than that called for in 5.1, for the height of fence.5.9 Where soil conditions are unstable or rock is encountered, the drive post embedment must be altered to maintain stability.The depth should be in keeping with standard fence construction practices for the local
19、 area or refer to 5.5.5.10 The post tops must be protected to prevent distortion of the exposed end. The use of a drive cap is recommended.5.11 Residential Swing Gate Posts:5.11.1 See Table 1.5.12 Industrial and Commercial Swing Gate Posts:5.12.1 See Table 2.5.13 Cantilever Slide Gate Posts (Specifi

Terminal Post Bracing6.1 No braces a
21、re required on fabric 6 ft 1.83 m(1.83 m) high or less where the top rail is specified. On all fabric over 6 ft,braces are required. On fabric over 12 ft 3.66 m(3.66 m) in height, a center rail is required; regardless of height, all fencesinstalled without a top rail shall have braces on all termina
22、ls.6.2 Securely fasten diagonal braces to the terminal post and the adjacent line post or its footing or a footing of equal size. Thereshall be no more than a 50 angle between the brace and the ground. Securely fasten horizontal braces with truss rods to theadjacent line post and terminal posts.6.3
23、When the top rail is used, attach the brace at the halfway point of the terminal post above grade and, when the top rail isomitted, at the two-thirds point above grade.7. Top Rail and Tension Wire7.1 Support the top rail at each post so that a continuous brace from end to end of each stretch of fenc
24、e is formed. Securelyfasten the top rail to the terminal posts and join with sleeves or coupling to allow for expansion and contraction.7.2 When the top rail is omitted, stretch a tension wire from end to end of each stretch of fence at a height that will enable itto be fastened to the fabric within
25、 the top 1 ft 305 mm(305 mm) of the chain-link fabric. If specified, fasten the bottom tensionwire within the bottom 6 in. 150 mm(150 mm) of fabric. Securely fasten the tension wire to the terminal posts. The tension wireshall be taut and free of sag.8. Tie Wires and Clips8.1 Tie wires, or clips, or
26、 both, for attaching chain link fabric to round tubular or rectangular roll-formed rails and intermediateposts shall be as specified in Specification F626.8.2 Irrespective of the type of tie or clip utilized, it is critical to the integrity of the fence system to assure that they are installedproper

30、he tie should be secured to the second wire of the same chain link fabric picket also with two 360 degreewraps. The final process of tightening the tie on the fabric picket wire should draw the fabric and the main body of the tie tightlyto the rail or post. Care must be taken to assure that the ends
31、 of the ties or clips do not protrude beyond the vertical plane on eitherside of the chain link fabric to avoid injury to pedestrians contact with the fence.9. Chain-Link Fabric9.1 Place chain-link fabric on the outside of the area enclosed or as directed by the purchaser.9.2Place the fabric by secu

(380-mm) intervals or any other approved method of attachment.9.4 Place the fabric by securing one end, applying sufficient tension to remove all slack before
36、making attachment elsewhere.Tighten the fabric to provide a smooth uniform appearance free from sag.9.5 Install fence fabric at grade to a maximum of 3 in. (76 mm) clearance above grade. If the 3 in. (76 mm) maximum spacecannot be maintained for the distance between or at line posts, reduce the spac
37、e greater than 3 in. (76 mm) by installing tensionwire or bottom rail. Install the top of the fence fabric for fences with top rail from a minimum of being tangent to the top of thetop rail to a maximum of12-diamond above the top of the top rail. Fasten the fabric to the line posts at intervals not
38、exceeding15 in. (380 mm). Fasten fabric to the rail or tension wire at intervals not exceeding 24 in. (609 mm).10. Barbed Wire10.1 If barbed wire is required, pull it taut to remove all sag, firmly install it in the slots of the extension arms, and secure itto a post or terminal arm.TABLE 2 Minimum
