be chipped off or rubbed off. Otherwise, surfaces may be left with <br />the texture imparted by the forms. <br />b. Smooth Form Finish: The form facing material shall produce a <br />smooth, hard, uniform texture on the concrete. It may be plywood, <br />tempered concrete -form -grade hardboard, metal, or other material <br />capable of producing the desired finish. The arrangement of the <br />facing material shall be orderly and symmetrical, with the number <br />of seams kept to the practical minimum. It shall be supported by <br />studs or other backing capable of preventing excessive deflection. <br />Material with raised grain, torn surfaces, worn edges, patches, <br />dents, or other defects which will impair the texture of the concrete <br />surface shall not be used. Tie holes and defects shall be patched. <br />All fins shall be completely removed. It is the intention of this <br />surface to produce an Architectural Surface suitable for public <br />view as a completed surface to receive paint. Strict quality control <br />of this surface shall be required. See ACI 301. <br />C. Smooth Rubbed Finish: To be applied to all smooth form finishes. <br />(All <br />work gill conform with ACI Standard 301 -latest edition) to <br />produce a smooth architectural effect. <br />2. Finishes - Unspecified Buildings: If the finish is unspecified, the following <br />finishes shall be used as applicable. <br />a. Rough Form Finish: For all concrete surfaces not exposed to public <br />view, including concrete to receive stucco. <br />b. Smooth Form Finish: For all concrete surfaces exposed to view. <br />C. Smooth Rubbed Finish: Concrete shall have a Smooth Rubbed Finish <br />applied to produce an architectural effect. <br />3. Patching: Immediately after stripping forms patch all defective areas with <br />mortar similar to the concrete mix except that coarse aggregate shall be <br />omitted. Bulges, minor honeycomb and other minor defects, as designated <br />by the Architect, shall be patched only where exposed to view. Clean, <br />dampen, and fill tie holes with patching mortar. All patching shall follow <br />procedures and conform to ACI 301. <br />a. Major defective areas, as judged by the Owner's representative <br />including those resulting from leakage of forms, excessive <br />honeycomb, large bulges and large offsets at form joints, shall be <br />03300-7 <br />
