31、sUtilization of other materials is ad-missible.5. Physical Properties5.1 In general, physical properties outline characteristicsbest suited for skateboard, roller blade, and BMX activities.5.2 Concrete FinishThe concrete surface should provide asmooth and nonslip surface characteristic (see ACI 302.
32、1R-04Class 9 Finish).5.3 Surface Flatness and LevelnessTolerances shouldconform to the requirements set forth in ACI 11790.Adiscussion of concrete flatness/levelness is given in the com-mentary to ACI 11790.5.3.1 Flatness and levelness requirements should be de-scribed in bid documents. Methods for
33、defining flatness andlevelness should be in accordance with ACI 11790 and TestMethod E 1155. The flatness values should control localsurface bumpiness in accordance with Test Method E 1155.F2480062The levelness values should control local conformance todesign grade (see Test Method E 1155).5.3.2 Pre
34、cautionsConcrete surface tolerance specificationand measurement procedures should be pre-bid determined.Tolerances should be defined based on what can be reasonablyexpected from a given construction method. The concreteflatness/levelness constitutes a potential issue, the followingprecautions are su
35、ggested:5.3.2.1 The exact meaning of the flatness/levelness require-ment and the exact method and time of measurement todetermine compliance should be established before beginningconstruction.5.3.2.2 The contractor or fabricator should confirm anability to satisfy the concrete surface tolerance requ
36、irement byprofiling previous installations or specimens.5.3.2.3 Where feasible, test slabs or specimens should beinstalled or supplied to verify the effectiveness of proposedfabrication procedures under actual job conditions. If neces-sary, methods and procedures should then be modified for theactua
37、l job installation based on these results. The acceptance ofthe test slab or specimen by the owner as to tolerances andsurface finish should clarify requirements for the project slaband becomes the project “Exemplar/Benchmark.”5.3.2.4 The exact remedy to be applied to every possibleconcrete surface
38、tolerance deficiency should be confirmed withthe designer.5.3.3 Levelness and flatness design in concrete skateparkconstruction should define acceptable tolerances for radii ofcurved surfaces, flatness values on a radius should be similar tothose of a flat surface. This applies to all elevation chan
39、getolerances, banks, ledges, and so forth.5.4 Expansion Joints and Control Joints:5.4.1 Expansion joints should be placed where they are leastlikely to interfere with a wheel. Careful consideration toexpansion joints location must be given, using the flow ofskaters as critical design criteria.5.4.2
40、Unfilled cut control joint must not exceed18 of aninch.5.4.3 Filled Control JointSize of control joint is notimportant. It must be a rigid control joint filler, which must beflush with the skating surface and close the joint completely.5.4.4 Tooled Control JointsJoints should be placed wherethey are
41、 least likely to interfere with skate wheels, and a cutcontrol joint is not possible.5.5 Consolidation and Compaction of Concrete AroundExposed Steel MaterialsThe placement of concrete onsloped radii or any areas incorporating a change in elevation iscritical to the stability of the exposed steel ma
42、terial or concretecoping. The difficulty of achieving proper consolidation aroundthe steel material and their reinforced attachments through theuse of standard air removal consolidation techniques can leadto slumping and the creation of an air pocket around the steelmaterial, which may not be visibl
43、e during construction andmay result in concrete failure on the riding surface. See Section8.3 of ACI 302.1R-04 and ACI 309R for detailed discussion.6. Other Requirements6.1 Protective Edging:6.1.1 If protective edging/surface is used, it shall be flushwith the finished riding surface. It shall be st
44、rong enough toprotect the surface from damage and excessive wear due toprolonged use.6.1.2 When protective edging is used as protection againstbike pegs, it shall extend a minimum of 4.0 in. behind thecoping, and be flush with the riding surface.6.2 Coping shall protrude 0.25 6 0.125 in. above the r
45、estingdeck and shall protrude 0.25 + 0.25 in. or 0.125 in. aboveriding surfaces (see Fig. 1).6.2.1 The outside radius of coping shall be a minimum of1.18 in. or 30 mm.6.3 Gaps or transitions between riding surfaces intended tobe in the same plane shall not exceed 0.188 in. in any direction.7.
