DIVISION 500 RIGID PAVEMENTS Section 501. — RIGID PAVEMENT Description 501.01 This work consists of constructing rigid pavement on a prepared surface. This work also includes pavement rehabilitation consisting of full-depth, full-width removal and reconstruction of rigid pavement. Pavement smoothness/roughness type is designated as shown in Subsection 501.12. Material 501.02 Conform to the following Subsections: Air-entraining admixtures 711.02 Chemical admixtures 711.03 Coarse aggregate 703.02 Curing material 711.01 Epoxy grout 725.22(b) Epoxy resin adhesives 725.21 Fine aggregate 703.01 Fly ash 725.04(a) Hydraulic cement 701.01 Joint fillers and sealants 712.01 Non-shrink grout 725.22(c) Reinforcing steel, tie bars, dowel bars, hook bolts, caps 709.01 Water 725.01 Construction Requirements 501.03 Composition of Mix (Concrete Mix Design). Design the concrete mix according to Subsection 552.03. Conform to Table?501-1. 501.04 Equipment. Furnish equipment conforming to the following: (a) Forms. Furnish straight, steel forms. For edge radii less than 60 meters, furnish flexible or curved forms. Conform to all the following: (1) Depth equal to edge of pavement thickness; (2) 3-meter minimum length; (3) Stabilizing devices to withstand paving operations; (4) Joint locks to join form lengths tightly together; and (5) Clean and oil before each use. Table 501-1 Rigid Pavement Composition Water/Cement Ratio (maximum) Temperature of Concrete Slump Air Content (%) Aggregate Size(1) (AASHTO M 43) 28-Day Compressive Strength (minimum) 0.49 20±10 oC 40±20 mm 4? min. No. 57 or 67 25 MPa (1) Other AASHTO M 43 aggregate sizes smaller than no. 57 or 67 may be used in the concrete mix design. If the nominal-maximum-sized aggregate is 12.5 millimeters or smaller, provide at least 5 percent air content. (b) Paving. Furnish the paving and finishing equipment applicable to the type of construction as follows: (1) Slip form construction. Furnish slip form machines capa
