2 . Test Method: Test joint sealants according to Method A, Field-Applied Sealant Joint Hand Pull <br /> Tab in Appendix XI in ASTM C 1193 , as appropriate for type of joint-sealant application <br /> indicated. <br /> a. For joints with dissimilar substrates, verify adhesion to each substrate separately; do this by <br /> extending cut along one side, verifying adhesion to opposite side . Repeat procedure for <br /> opposite side . <br /> 3 . Inspect joints for complete fill, for absence of voids, and for joint configuration complying with <br /> specified requirements. Record results in a field-adhesion-test log. <br /> 4 . Inspect tested joints and report on the following: <br /> a. Whether sealants in joints connected to pulled-out portion failed to adhere to joint <br /> substrates or tore cohesively. Include data on pull distance used to test each type of <br /> product and joint substrate . Compare these results to determine if adhesion passes sealant <br /> �,• manufacturer's field-adhesion hand-pull test criteria. <br /> b . Whether sealants filled joint cavities and are free of voids . <br /> C ' Whether sealant dimensions and configurations comply with specified requirements. <br /> 5 . Record test results in a field-adhesion-test log. Include dates when sealants were installed, names <br /> of persons who installed sealants, test dates, test locations, whether joints were primed, adhesion <br /> results and percent elongations, sealant fill, sealant configuration, and sealant dimensions . <br /> 6. Repair sealants pulled from test area by applying new sealants following same procedures used <br /> originally to seal joints. Ensure that original sealant surfaces are clean and that new sealant <br /> contacts original sealant. <br /> B . Evaluation of Field Test Results : Sealants not evidencing adhesive failure from testing or noncompliance <br /> with other indicated requirements will be considered satisfactory. Remove sealants that fail to adhere to <br /> joint substrates during testing or to comply with other requirements . Retest failed applications until test <br /> results prove sealants comply with indicated requirements . <br /> 3 . 5 CLEANING <br /> A. Clean off excess sealant or sealant smears adjacent to joints as the Work progresses by methods and with <br /> cleaning materials approved in writing by manufacturers of joint sealants and of products in which joints <br /> occur. <br /> 3 . 6 PROTECTION <br /> A. Protect joint sealants during and after curing period from contact with contaminating substances and from <br /> damage resulting from construction operations or other causes so sealants are without deterioration or <br /> damage at time of Substantial Completion. If, despite such protection, damage or deterioration occurs, <br /> cut out and remove damaged or deteriorated joint sealants immediately so installations with repaired <br /> areas are indistinguishable from original work. <br /> END OF SECTION 07920 <br /> 4, <br /> R <br /> L <br /> Wabasso Beach Park <br /> a Indian River County <br /> L DAA Project No . 6008 <br /> 07920 - 7 <br />
