SECTION 51
CONCRETE STRUCTURES
355
The falsework shall be located so that falsework footings or piles are at
least 75 mm {3 inches} clear of railing posts and barriers and all other
falsework members are at least 0.3-m {one foot} clear of railing members and
barriers.
Falsework bents within 6 m {20 feet} of the center line of a railroad track
shall be sheathed solid in the area between 1 m {3 feet} and 5 m {17 feet}
above the track elevation on the side facing the track. Sheathing shall consist
of plywood not less than 16 mm {
5/8
inch} thick or lumber not less than
19 mm {
3/4
inch} thick. Bracing on these bents shall be adequate so that the
bent will resist the required assumed horizontal load or 22 kN {5,000 pounds}
whichever is greater.
The dimensions of the clear openings to be provided through falsework for
roadways shall be as specified in "Maintaining Traffic," of the special
provisions.
The dimensions of clear openings to be provided through the falsework for
railroads shall be as specified in "Railroad Relations and Insurance," of the
special provisions.
51-1.06B Falsework Construction
• The falsework shall be constructed to substantially conform to the falsework
drawings. The materials used in the falsework construction shall be of the quality
necessary to sustain the stresses required by the falsework design. When
manufactured assemblies are used in falsework, the Contractor shall furnish to the
Engineer a letter of certification which certifies that all components of the
manufactured assemblies are used in conformance with the manufacturer's
recommendations. The workmanship used in falsework construction shall be of the
quality that the falsework will support the loads imposed on the falsework without
excessive settlement or take-up beyond that shown on the falsework drawings.
• Falsework shall be founded on a solid footing safe against undermining,
protected from softening, and capable of supporting the loads imposed on the
falsework. When requested by the Engineer, the Contractor shall demonstrate by
suitable load tests that the soil bearing values assumed for the design of the
falsework do not exceed the supporting capacity of the soil.
• When falsework is supported on piles, the piles shall be driven to a bearing
value, as determined by the formula specified in Section 49-1, "General," equal to
the total calculated pile loading as shown on the falsework drawings.
• When falsework is over or adjacent to roadways or railroads, all details of the
falsework system which contribute to horizontal stability and resistance to impact,
except for bolts in bracing, shall be installed at the time each element of the
falsework is erected and shall remain in place until the falsework is removed.
• Temporary railing (Type K), conforming to the provisions in Section 12-3,
"Traffic-Handling Equipment and Devices," shall be installed on both sides of all
vehicular openings through falsework and, when ordered by the Engineer, at all
other falsework less than 3.6 m {12 feet} from the edge of a traffic lane.
Temporary railings shall begin approximately 46 m {150 feet} in advance of the
falsework and shall extend past the falsework, in the direction of adjacent traffic
flow. For 2-way traffic openings, the temporary railing shall extend at least 18 m
{60 feet} past the falsework, in the direction of adjacent traffic flow. The location
and length of railing and the type of flare to be used shall be as ordered by the
