    The document provides technical specifications for converting an existing concrete sidewalk to a ramp. It outlines the demolition of existing structures and reinforced concrete works. Key details include removing the existing sidewalk slab, using Class AA concrete mixture with minimum strength of 3,500 psi, adequately reinforcing and anchoring bars, and curing concrete for 7 days before removing forms after 10 days for the ramp.

    TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:

    CONVERSION OF CONCRETE SIDEWALK TO RAMP

    I – DEMOLITION OF EXISTING STRUCTURES

    1.1 General
    a. The demolition works for existing sidewalk slab shown on-site shall be removed.

    b. Provide dust control, using water sprinkling, and other suitable methods.

    1.2 Demolition Requirements


    a. Provide warning signs/protective barriers to the work as required. Maintain these items
    during the demolition period.

    b. Remove all debris from the sitework during demolition and do not allow debris to
    accumulate in piles.

    II - REINFORCEDCONCRETEWORKS

    2.1 General
    a. All concrete works shall be done in accordance with the Standard Specifications
    for Concrete and Reinforced Concrete as adopted by the Philippine Government.

    2.2 Concrete Materials

    a. PORTLAND CEMENT: Cement shall meet the requirements for the Standard
    Specifications for Portland cement.
    b. FINE AGGREGATES: Fine Aggregates for Concrete Mortar and Binder
    shall consists clean river sand, durable and free from injurious amount of clay and
    other organic matters.
    c. COARSE AGGREGATES: Shall consist of river gravel, grade “G-3/4” of clean,
    hard and free from Alkali, organic and other deleterious matter.
    d. METAL REINFORCEMENT: Shall consist of new Billet Steel (Structural
    Grade) of good quality meeting the requirements of the Standard Specifications
    for Concrete Reinforcing Bars.

    2.3 Proportioning of Concrete


    a. CLASS “AA” CONCRETE (1:2:3) shall have a minimum ultimate strength of 3,500
    lbs. per square inch shall be used.

    2.4 Mixing Concrete


    a. Concrete shall be machined - mixed to insure uniform distribution of materials
    throughout the mass.
    b. Concrete that has developed initial set shall not be used. Concrete that has
    practically hardened shall not be re-tempered or remixed.

    2.5 Depositing Concrete


    a. After concrete is mixed, it shall be immediately conveyed to the desired location
    and carefully deposited in a manner as to prevent separations of ingredients or
    displacement of reinforcements.
    b. Concrete shall not be dropped more than 1-1/2 meters in height.
    c. Concrete during pouring and immediately after, shall be thoroughly compacted. The
    mixture shall be worked around the bars and into the corners of forms.

    2.6 Reinforcement Bar

    a. > 12 mmФ
    ASTM 615 Grade 40
    Deformed Bars
    (fy = 275 MPa)

    ASTM 615 Grade 33 ≤


    12 mmФ
    Deformed Bars
    (fy = 230 MPa)

    b. Placing of Reinforcement, Splices and Anchorages


    1. Reinforcement shall be accurately placed and adequate supported by spacers or ties
    and properly secured against displacement.
    2. Deformed Bars, the minimum length of splices shall be 300 mm.
    3. Reinforcement bars shall be adequately anchored at every joints to its
    members.

    2.7 Curing of Concrete:


    a. Concrete should be so protected that there is no loss of moisture from a surface to a
    period of seven (7) days.
    b. Curing shall begin as soon as concrete has attained initial set.

    2.8 Minimum Period of time in Removal of Forms:


    a. Forms shall be checked for plumbness and correct alignment.
    b. Forms and shoring shall be removed until the concrete is adequately set and
    sufficiently strong to carry safely dead and construction live loads.
    c. For ramp - - - - - ten (10) days
