The above table is intended to specifj the amount of
cement per cubic yard of concrete and the water cement ratio
with aggregate so graded that the mix will produce concrete
of the desired workability, density and strength, and that
strength on 28 day.test shall be not less than 3000 lbs. per
square inch. The contractor shall provide such laboratory
control as. to insure the concrete desired.
As the work proceeds, the Contractor shall have the
mplacedake compressive test for each 100 cu, yards
MIXING AND PLACING: The amount of water specified per sack

which shall be measured by the Contractor by a method
approved by the Engineer, and which shall determine
accurately the weight of the moisture within 2 pounds per
100 pounds of aggregate.
The Engineer may require that proportions be made
by weight.
Measuring devices whether for weight or volume shall
all be made uniform so as to avoid variation,.in quantities
determined upon.
GS-4
The exact amount of clean water specified per sack of
cement, and no more, shall be used for each batch of concrete.
zhe proper consistency of the concrete shall be
obtained by varying the proportions of fine and. coarse aggre-
gates, depending upon the character of the aggregate and
percentage of voids. The consistency shall be such that the
concrete can be puddled readily into-the corners and angles of
the forms and around the reinforcement without excessive
spading and without undue accumulation of laitance on the
surface.
The consistency of the concrete shall be controlled by
frequent slump tests as standardized by the A. S. T. M., the
Contractor providing three.standard truncated cones for the
purpose. The maximum slump of the concrete shall be as
followse
For mass concrete from 1 to 4 inches.
For wall thicker than 10 inches, and floors from 3 to
6 inches.
For walls thinner than 10 inches from 4 to 7 inches.
A machine batch-mixer approved by the Lngineer shall be
used, and each batch shall be turned 11/2 minutes in the
mixer.
Concrete from a central plant or mixed-in-transit mixer
trucks may be used if it complies with these specifications.
The kngineer shall have free access at all times to the
hatching and mixing plant for sampling of all materials and
inspection of work performed for this project. Concrete shall
be delivered in watertight containers which will not permit
segregation of the materials. When delivered, the concrete
shall be uniform throughout the mass.
Concrete must be handled and placed so as.to avoid
segregation. It shall not be thrown or dropped from a height
of more than 5 ft., but shall be deposited in layers not ex-
ceeding 6 inches thick, and shall be worked to fill all voids,
and to thoroughly encase the steel. None shall be placed in
water. All concrete shall be mechanically vibrated into place
and form a homogenous, dense, tight mass. Where the rein-
forcement may be too close, batches of mortar shall be used to
secure density of that part of the concrete.
No concrete or mortar shall be used which shall have
been mixed more than one hour.
Concrete shall be placed monolithic and continuous
where required by the Engineer or where a Joint would be .
harmful to the structure. All beams must be poured
F
monolithic with the adjacent slab
All GS-S
hours before the ho
vertical embers smeembers touallowtinitialt
settlement. The vertical member shall be poured in one
continuous operation up to the bottom of the horizontal
member supgorted by it.
Construction joints shall be made in a manner and
only at such points as shown on plans, or as may be approved
by the Engineer.
Floors must be kept entirely undisturbed until w thoroughly days hard and be
concrete must be protected against damage. A cover of
.2 inches sand or sawdust must be maintained on the floor
until thoroughly cured.
In connecting concrete already set with new concrete,
the surface shall be thoroughly cleaned, and roughed, and
mopped with a thin mortar composed of one part Portland
Cement and one part sand.
COLD WEATHER: No concrete shall be laid in freezing
.at -her, an any concrete that is liable to become frozen
after being placed shall be properly protected to prevent
it, using heavy tarpaulins and heat. When the air tempera-
ture is below 35 degrees F. the water and materials shall
be heated so that the temperature of the concrete placed in
cold weather shall be covered and kept warm for 7 days using
artificial heat if necessary. No salt or other chemical
shall be used to prevent freezing.
CURING: Concrete shall be protected from too rapid drying
w,'ien Placed in warm weather, and shall be protected from
the sun, and sprinkled to keep it wet. Concrete shall be
kept wet (with running water, if practical) over the canvas
or burlap covering for the remainder of the period. An
approved concrete curing compound may he used.
FORMS: For all surfaces except those against which earth
Ts -to be backfilled shall be of planed, tongue and groove
material, generally of 1 1/2 inch lumber, or plywood or

DETAILED SPECIFICATIONS
DESCRIPTION: The work covered by this contract consists
0o an Larth Dam to-lie located on the-East fork of the Eno
River, approximately 5 miles north of the Town of Hills-
borough, N. C., and approximately 1.5 miles west Of N. C.
Highway 66. Included in the project is the preparation of
approximately 0.75 mile of new road, clearing the lake area,
excavation for the dam foundation and spillway, earth
embankment, concrete spillway and gate shaft and outlet
pipe through the dam. The watershed area above the dam
site is.9.6 square miles.
CLEARING: The entire site to be covered by the lake and
the embankment and the new section of the access road shall
be cleared of all trees. In the lake area all underbrush,.
saplings and small trees less than 12 inches in circumference
shall be cut to the ground. Trees 12 inches and larger in
circumference shall be cut to within one foot of the ground.
In a strip 10 feet wide just within the wetted area all
stumps, roots, etc. shall be removed. Trees shall be
trimmed and cut to cord wood or merchantable timber length,
and shall be piled neatly at points to be designated out-
side the wetted area. All brush, stumps, roots, and rubbish
shall be piled and burned, and the ashes thoroughly scattered.
All clearing and burning shall be done in such a manner as
not to injure standing trees, shrubs and other property
adjacent to the areas to be cleared. All burning shall be
under the consta.it care of a competent watchman. All timber
and cord wood shall remain within the control of the owner.
STRIPPING: The surface of the site to be occupied by the
new road, the embankment and spillway shall be stripped of
all vegetable matter and surface soil to a depth of at
least one foot. This material from the spillway and embank-
ment shall be deposited in a designated location below the
dam, and upon completion of the embankment shall be spread
upon the down-stream slope to a depth of about one foot in
addition to the line of the embankment shown in the drawings.
The road shall be cleared and grubbed to a width of 30 feet.
The contractor shall then provide sufficient surface
material to allow for use of the road by his equipment until
completion of the contract.
EXCAVATION FOR DA-14 FOUNDATION: After the site for the
embankment shall have been cleared and stripped, it shall
be prepared for the embankment by the removal of all organic
matter, soil, sand, muck, loose rock, and other unsuitable
material down to solid rock or other hard, firm material
satisfactory to the Engineers as a suitable foundation.
All excavated material shall be moved outside the embank-
ment site, and before completion of the work shall be
deposited so as not to leave any decided or unsightly piles.
1
3 2
The excavation for the foundation for the dam shall
be conducted so that when completed and terraced its
several planes shall have a slight downward slope toward
the lake area, being generally parallel and horizontal in
the direction of the axis of the dam. The terracing and
sloping of any solid rock will not be required, but it sL•all
be excavated, if necessary, to provide a rough bed upon
which the embankment will not tend to slide. The surface
of the earth foundation shall then be plowed with furrows -
parallel to the axis of the embankment and pulverized by
harrowing. It shall then be wet and allowed to stand until
in the proper condition for compacting.
Earth excavation for the dam foundation shall be paid
for at the price bid in the proposal and shall include all
material of whatever character, except hard, distinct,
solid rock as specified.
ROCK EXCAVATION: Rock, wherever used as a name for
excavated material, shall mean boulders exceeding 3/4 Cubic
yard in volume or solid ledge rock, which in the opinion
of the Engineer, requires for its removal drilling and
blasting, or wedging or sledginc and barring. There rock
excavation is necessary the contractor shall.excavate the
same as near the neat lines of the structure or on trench
as practicable and he shall take all due precautions in
the pursuance of the work. He will be held strictly
responsible for all injury to life and to public and
private property. No blasting shall be done until after
the stone is stripped of earth and the Engineer has
determined the elevation of. the rock surface. Measurement
of rock quantities will be made from the upper surface of
such rock found. No soft or disintegrated rock which can
be removed by a pick, boulders under three tatters cU is
yard in volume, nor rock outside the limits of measurement
specified which may have been previously loosened and from
any cause fallen within the lines of work, will be measured
or paid for under this classification. Care shall be taken
when blasting so as not to damage the rock foundation
itself.
EXCAVATION FOR SPILLWAY, Excavation for the spillway
shall be ma a to the lines indicated on the drawings.
Should the earth excavated for the spillway prove
to be 'unsuitable for use in the embankment, payment will
he :wade for this excavation at the price bid, otherwise
no payment will be made for this excavation, but the
suitable material will be paid for as embankment.
Rock excavation for the spillway will be paid for at .
the price bid.
EARTH EMAANXI%241:T: The material used in building the em-
bank ment sha l e the best obtainable from any point
within 1,500 feet of the axis of the dam.
Sri
The material shall be placed in the embankment in
layers not exceeding six inches thick and layers shall be
horizontal in the direction of the axis of the embankment
and slope slightly downward from the boundaries toward the
center line. The placing of layers shall begin in the lower
part of the foundation and layers gradually lengthened out
in filling in the lower portions of the embankment. If it
is found that layers thicker than 6 inches can be readily
compacted, the engineer may instruct in writing that
thicker layers may be used.
The earth shall be moist enough to compact well but
not too wet. Lefore any layer is placed, the surface ahead
of it shall be wet but not muddy; and the layer when rolled
shall be moist enough to pack thoroughly. care must be
exercisers to see that a thorough bond is made between
successive layers.
Each layer must be kept in a moistened condition
until compacted. Should any layer become too hard on the
surface to thoroughly bond with the succeeding layer, it
shall be scarified.
Proper moisture and compaction shall be checked by
laboratory tests using the modified Proctor method for
90% compaction.
. Each layer shall be sprinkled, pulverized by
harrowing if necessary, and then rolled with a sheep
foot, power driven, roller of not less than 50 lbs. per
square inch pressure with penetration of the projections.
Variations in the pressure up to the amount required for
proper compaction shall be accomplished ?,y adding weight
to the roller. Rolling shall be in the direction parallel
with the axis of the embankment. After each test the
number of passes of the roller shall be fixed.
Such portions of the embankment as are inaccessible
to the roller shall be thoroughly compacted by ramming with.-
power driven tampers. This applies-especially to the areas'
under and around pipes and the filling of pipe trenches and
against any other structures. Any layers, streaks or
pockets of sand or undesirable material shall be-carefully
avoided.
At the time of completing the embankment, the outer
slope shall be covered with one foot thickness of soil and
shaped up ready for seeding as directed by the Lngineer.
The top of the embankment shall slope to drain toward the
downstream side.
.The intent of these specifications is to procure a
homogeneous, compact, water tight embankment, and it is
believed that the methods specified herein.will give the
E.

.r ?fc 1_
_. / Y
S-4
desired results. Should it appear advisable, in the
opinion of the Engineer, however, to deviate from the
methods herein prescribed in order to secure an embankment
that will fulfill the intent of these specifications, the
contractor shall, without additional compensation, make
such changes in methods as the Engineer may direct.
shallow test holes shall be dug from time to time j
-and filled with water to determine the amount of seepage
through the embankment.
The price named in the proposal per cu. yd. of
embankment will be paid for the actual volume of the
completed compacted embankment to the lines shown on the
drawings or as required by the Engineer, and no allowance
will be made for any change in volume. Excavated material
from any source that is used in the embankment will not
be paid for as excavation. The stripping of borrow pits
will be paid for.
CONCRETE SPILLWAY: A concrete spillway of the side channel
and chute type s all be constructed as shown in the drawings.
Excavation for the spillway shall be completed and fine
graded to the neat lines shown. Cut-off walls, excavated
into the earth or rock, shall be constructed as shown, the
concrete being placed against the earth as excavated without
forms, so as to provide a watertight condition.
Construction--contraction joints shall be placed at
50 feet intervals as shown, .with cut-off and expansion
joints as indicated in detailed drawings. To prevent uplift
from ground water drain pipes shall be placed in the concrete
slab of the spillway at intervals shown in the drawings.
Drains or weep holes shall also be provided in the downstream
cut-off at the end of the concrete spillway.
Payment for concrete in the spillway slab and side-
walls and for the cut-off walls, including steel reinforce-
sent, shall be paid for at the unit price bid in the
proposal.
GATE SHAFT: The gate shaft, including bridge, shall be
constructed as shown in plans, from the depth indicated to
the floor shown, at, Elevation 626. The work shall include
all wall castings and the 24" sluice gates and the specials
for the 48" concrete pressure pipe and the 48" sluice
gates and operating stands stems and guides complete,
ready for operation.
Upon completion of the gate shaft, with the reservoir
full and with all sluice gates closed, the structure shall
be water tight.
The price bid in the proposal shall include the
J . 35
s-s
structure complete as shown, ready to operate. Should it
be necessary to extend the structure to a greater depth than
shown, extra compensation will be allowed at the price bid
for extra concrete.-
PIPE LINES: The work under "Pipe Lines" shall include the
48`concrete pressure pipe, with collars, and the drain
lines indicated or required.
The.48" concrete pressure pipe shall be placed in
the original earth and not in the embankment. L•'xcavation
for the pipe shall be made in the original foundation
material, and the pipe trench made no larger than the
smallest area needed to.handle the pipe and joints.
Concrete cut-off walls or collars shall be constructed at
the intervals shown. In the area outside the pipe trench,
the concrete collars shall be placed against the earth as
excavated, except above the top of the pipe trench, where
forms must be used. After the forms have been removed
the trench shall be carefully backfilled, the earth de-
posited in 3" or 4" layers rammed thoroughly with power
tamps, each layer being sufficiently moist to insure a
bond between layers.
The joints in the concrete pressure pipe shall be
water tight and the whole operation, including backfilling
and concrete collars, shall be completed in such a manner
that water from the reservoir cannot follow along the
smooth surface of the pipe.
Payment for the 48" concrete pressure pipe shall be
made at the unit price bid in the proposal, and it shall
include the pipe in place with concrete collars.
In order to prevent saturation of the downstream
portion of the dam, the natural seepage line shall be
lowered by installing pipe and stone drains, as shown.
These drains shall consist of 8" 16 gage corrugated metal
pipes, fully bituminous coated and perforated, as shown
in detailed drawings. A filter consisting gravel or
crushed stone, 1008 passing a 3/8 inch sieve, with 708
retained on No. 10 sieve and 08 passing a No. 40 sieve,
shall be placed around the drain pipes as shown.

stone shall be of such quality as to withstand freezing
and thawing.
Payment for riprap shall be made at the unit
price bid in the proposal per square yard.
STREAM CONTRDL: This item includes the control of the
stream so as to permit the construction of the embankment
without undue delay, and includes the protection of the
work against damage from floods.
It is expected that generally the-flow of the
stream will be taken care of through the 48' concrete
pressure pipe and to that-end the contractor shall con=
struct a temporary embankment or cofferdam across the
stream so as to divert the water into the 48' pipe in order
that it may not interfere with the construction of the
main embankment. The contractor shall make such provision
as he considers necessary to protect his work from any
unusual increase in'the flow of the stream, and shall not
be entitled to any extra compensation for any damage to
his work by the elements.
The price bid shall be a lump sum figure which
shall be the entire amount to be paid to the contractor on
