DOWEL INSTALLATION
Dowels shall be installed in slabs on grade at locations indicated and at
right angles to joint being doweled. Dowels shall be accurately positioned
and aligned parallel to the finished concrete surface before concrete
placement. Dowels shall be rigidly supported during concrete placement.
One end of dowels shall be coated with a bond breaker.

SYNTHETIC FIBER REINFORCED CONCRETE
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Synthetic fiber reinforcement may be used in
concrete slabs as an aid in preventing plastic or
shrinkage cracking in placements susceptible to this
condition. Fiber reinforcement will not be used as
a substitute for wire mesh and where service
temperature may exceed 150 degrees C (300 degrees
F). Concentrations above 0.1 percent by volume are
not cost-effective.
**************************************************************************
Fiber reinforcement shall be added to the concrete mix in accordance with
the applicable sections of ASTM C 1116 and the recommendations of the
manufacturer, and in an amount of [0.1] [_____] percent by volume.

SPECIAL INSPECTION AND TESTING FOR SEISMIC-RESISTING SYSTEMS
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Include this paragraph only when special
inspection and testing for seismic-resisting systems
is required by paragraph 3.2 of FEMA 302, NEHRP
RECOMMENDED PROVISIONS FOR SEISMIC REGULATIONS FOR
NEW BUILDINGS AND OTHER STRUCTURES.
This paragraph will be applicable to both new
buildings designed according to TI 809-04, SEISMIC
DESIGN FOR BUILDINGS, and to existing building
seismic rehabilitation designs done according to TI
809-05, SEISMIC EVALUATION AND REHABILITATION FOR
BUILDINGS.
The designer must indicate on the drawings all
locations and all features for which special
inspection and testing is required in accordance
with Chapter 3 of FEMA 302. This includes
indicating the locations of all structural
components and connections requiring inspection.
Add any additional requirements as necessary.
