content
and compacted by at least three passes of a vibratory plate compactor.
d) Backfill behind retaining walls not supporting concrete slabs shall be placed in uniform lifts
not exceeding 12' thickness, conditioned to optimum moisture content and compacted by at least
three passes of a vibratory plate compactor.
e) In lieu of the requirements specified in Item 'c', backfill supporting footings or slabs
be placed under the supervision of a test laboratory approved by the Engineer. Backfill shall
be compacted to minimum of 90% of maximum density as measured by ASTM D-1557.
6) Minimum 28 day compressive strength of footing concrete shall be 2500 psi. Concrete shall have a
maximum water-cement ratio of .50. Maximum size of coarse aggregate at footings shall not
exceed 2'.
Bar reinforcement shall have a minimum yield strength of 60 KSI. Except as noted in details,
typical rebar lap splice shall be 2'-6'. All lapped rebar shall be securely tied together.
Reinforcement details and clear cover requirements not noted in the Plans shall be in accordance
with UBC Section 2607.
For increased water-tightness and durability, recommended minimum 28 day compressive strength of
stem wall concrete shall be 3500 psi. Structural design of walls is based upon 28 day
ComrrcS3i':e strength of 2500 psi. Wall concrete shall have a maximum water-cement ratio of .45,
contain at least 560 pounds of cement per cubic yard and shall have an entrained air content of
4 to 6%. Water reducing admixtures compatible with tie air entraining admixture may be used to
increase the concrete's workability. Maximum size of coarse aggregate at wall shall not exceed
1-112'.
' 3
Note 6, Concrete, continued.
Wall control joints shall be located at all transitions in height and/or thickness, and at
locations noted on Elevation, Sheet D-1. These joints shall be formed as noted in Standard
Detail B/T.
All concrete shall be thoroughly vibrated during placement using a 2' diameter spud vibrator.
Footing concrete shall be wet cured for at least three days. Wall concrete shall be continuously
wet cured for at least seven days. In addition to wet curing, it is recommended that two coats of
Masterbuilder's MB 429 Curing Compound be applied to wall surfaces. Curing compound coverage per
gallon shall be in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.
Fresh and partially cured concrete shall be protected against the effects of cold weather and
freezing. Contact Engineer for detailed recommendations as required.
Backfill shall not be placed at walls until the wall and footing concrete have attained a minimum
compressive strength of 2500 psi.
1) Two separate drainage systems are required to help maintain dry enclosed areas below grade:
a) Perforated footing underdrains at foundations extending behind the full length of the
retaining wall. Drains shall be 4' diameter perforated PVC pipe sloped a minimum of
112' per 10'-0' run to daylight. Drains shall exit to daylight at least 5'-0' down-slope of
retaining wall foundations. Provide drain clean-outs as noted on Plan, Sheet D-1.
b) All building down-spouts and other concentrated sources of run-off shall be connected to a
separate 4' minimum diameter ADS non-perforated tubing tightline. This drain shall be sloped a
minimum of 112' per 10'-0' run to daylight, and shall exit at least 5'-0' down-slope of
building foundations. Provide clean-outs at up-slope ends and at any sharp bends.
Notify Engineer of any springs or other sources of run-off encountered during construction and/or
final grading so that drainage system may be modified as required.
All perforated drains shall have openings oriented toward the base and shall be bedded in a 3'
minimum thickness of crushed rock fill. See Note 5 and Details for fill material requirements,
dimensions and protection at perforated drains.
All drain line components shall be connected with the appropriate 'Ell', 'Tee' or 'Y' fittings.
Clean-outs shall be fitted with end caps.
8) Depending upon specific site conditions, uses and finishes anticipated for below grade space,
quality of construction and compliance with Plan Details and Notes L Specifications; separate
waterproofing measures at the retaining wall may be required.
To provide the maximum level of moisture protection for below grade finished areas, the Engineer
generally recommends the following measures:
a Snap-ties used at stem wall have a neoprene waterproofing washer at mid-length.
b Installation of waterstops at wall/slab construction joints as shown in Detail A/T.
c Installation of a positive waterproofing system, such as American Colloid Company's Volclay
Type 1C Panels.
If such systems are to be considered, contact Engineer for additional details prior to
construction.
Based upon Engineer's site visit and his understanding that below grade areas of building will be
utilized only as an unfinished garage, special snap-ties, waterstops and Volclay Panels are not
required. This conclusions would change if the Owner anticipates a future conversion of garage
to finished space.

WaterstepwRXehelps save time, MURVY...
and concrete
Installing conventional waterstops in con-
crete joints is an important(but normally time- FOOTING JOINT
consuming)part of concrete construction.It
can also be very labor-intensive,reducing VERTICAL
the profitability of the job.Most important, WALL JOINT
conventional waterstops offer only a partial d
solution to water infiltration,leaving architects,
engineers,and contractors open to liability :e
problems.
Volclay®Waterstop-RX"'solves water infiltration a °,
problems.It's easy to apply even by a single, -
inexperienced laborer,cutting installation
time in half.It eliminates split-forming and ., Waterstop-RX
splicing.And,its self-healing properties Concrete
assure that concrete joints remain protected o d
permanently.
How Waterstop-RX works
The key to Waterstop-RX is its western
sodium bentonite base.Specified for more D
than 20 years for foundation waterproofing,
bentonite swells in contact with water,forming .
an impenetrable gel.This property also
allows bentonite products to fill in small .
cracks in concrete. Minimum 2" to
Waterstop-RX comes in a coil.It is applied exterior wall surface. .
by adhering the material to the butt end of �d • o •
the concrete with RX Adhesive or concrete o
cut nails—an operation that requires a single
laborer.Then pour or place the next section a
of concrete to complete the joint.No split i
forming,splicing,or bonding is required as �■/
with conventional waterstops.
Upon hydration,Waterstop-RX swells to Place Waterstop-RX inside
form a self-healing compression seal that c . of outer most dowels.
completely locks out water.This action also p
prevents water migration along the waterstop
and in keyways as an extra protection against 6• Q .
penetration.
All-temperature application
Waterstop-RX has been engineered for use
under virtually all temperature conditions.
Unlike other popular joint sealants,Waterstop-
RX does not become stiff and brittle in cold
weather nor spongy and difficult to work with Waterproofing a .4
in hot weather.As a result,Waterstop-RX
does not have to be heated in cold weather, G
saving time and money.It also remains totally 4
flexible without shrinking,hardening,or
oxidizing.
Safe to use a
Because Waterstop-RX is non-toxic,no a Waterstop-RX
special handling equipment is required.It is
clean to the touch,and does not contain any a
material which can discolor or irritate the
skin,helping eliminate lost man-hours. c °
