640. A STONE MOUTHPIECE FOR e=0.

15 m

1.0 DESCRIPTION

This work includes the covering of surfaces with stone masonry to protect them against
the erosion and undermining, according to what is indicated in the plans and/or as ordered by the Supervisor. The
Structures where this type of coating is used are the following:

Lined drainage ditches

Gutter deliveries
Delivery of drainage ditches
Channeling at the entrance and exit of sewers
Channeling at the entrance of receiving boxes
Crown Trenches.
Other structures that the Supervisor deems appropriate to protect with framing.
of stone.

2.0 MATERIALS

2.1 Stone

The stones to be used in the pointing must have dimensions such that the smallest dimension is
lower than the thickness of the lining by five (5) centimeters. It is recommended not to use stones with shape and
textures that do not favor good adhesion with the mortar, such as rounded stones or pebbles
stones without fragmentation. Weathered stones and fragile stones will not be used. Preferably the stones
they must be of a prismatic shape, having at least one flat face, which will be placed on the side of the
mouthpiece.

The stones used must be clean and free of crust. If their surfaces have
any foreign matter that reduces adhesion will be cleaned or washed. They will be rejected if
they have fats, oils and/or if the foreign materials are not removed. The stones to be used can
to be selected from three sources, with prior authorization from the Supervisor:

Quarries
Cuts and excavations for leveling and works of art
Rock blasting for earthworks and artworks.

2.2 Concrete

It must comply with the specifications of Portland cement concrete for a

minimum resistance of f’c= 175 Kg/cm2.

2.3 Mortar
 The mortar to be used for the bedding and filling of the joints of the stones will be made of cement.
and sand, in a one to three (1:3) ratio, or according to the Supervisor's instructions. The
Cement and sand must meet the specifications of item 6.06.

3.0 EXECUTION METHOD

The mouthpiece will be built as indicated in the project plans, at its location,
dimensioning and other characteristics. Any modification must be approved by the Supervisor.

3.1 Surface Preparation

Once the excavation and filling are completed, profiling and compacting of the surface will proceed.
support of the casing, with a hand tamper weighing at least twenty (20) kilograms, or with
vibratory mechanical equipment. Prior to compaction, the material must be moistened. It
a concrete slab f’c = 175 Kg/cm2 will be placed with a minimum thickness:

For e = 0.15 m, the thickness will be 5 cm.

In which the stone will be placed and arranged by applying pressure on them, until the thickness is reached.
total of the encasement.

3.2 Mortar Preparation

The mortar, unless otherwise indicated by the Supervisor, must be made by hand, mixing the sand and the
cement in a clean and waterproof container until the mixture achieves a uniform color, to
the amount of water necessary to form a workable paste will be added. If it were
it is necessary to prepare the mortar with a mixer, which must be of the appropriate capacity and will be
previously approved by the Supervisor. The mixing will be done for one minute and a half (1½) as
minimum. Cement mortars will not be used after thirty (30) minutes have passed since
water incorporated; likewise, remelting the mortar to improve it is prohibited.
workability.

3.3 Placement of Stones

Before laying the stone, it must be moistened, as should the support surface or template.
the stones on which mortar is placed. The stones will be arranged in such a way as to achieve the best
possible binding, on a previously emptied mortar bed, arranging them in a way to fill
as best as possible the gap formed by the adjacent stones. The stones should be placed from
so that the best face (flat) is placed on the visible side of the facing. The stones are
they will be set with care not to loosen the already placed ones.

The joints between stones will be completely filled with mortar. Before hardening of the
mortar, the surface of the pointing should be leveled. In case a stone comes loose or remains
if it is poorly set or if one of the joints opens, that stone will be removed, as well as the mortar from the bed and
the joints, reseating with new mortar, moistening the seating area.
 The facing of slopes should be done starting from the base, with the stones of
larger dimensions; the stone setting will be done similarly to the case of the setting
of bricks, placing mortar joints at least 5 cm thick. For the development of the
the work of plastering will not require the use of formwork. Once the plastering is finished,
the surface must be kept moist for a minimum of three (3) days.

4.0 WORK CONTROL

To conclude the construction of the embankment, the alignment, slopes, and elevation will be verified.

tolerances indicated below:

Thickness of the lining +4 cm

Crowning at the level of the fill +3 cm
Isolated protrusions on visible faces with respect to
to the project section +4 cm
Isolated protrusions on non-visible surfaces with
regarding the project section +10 cm

to the project 1:200

5.0 ACCEPTANCE OF WORKS

During the execution of the work, the Supervisor will carry out the following main controls:

Check the condition and operation of all equipment used by the Contractor.
Supervise the correct application of the accepted work methods.
Demand compliance with safety measures and traffic maintenance.
Monitor compliance with work programs.

6.0 MEASUREMENT METHOD

The unit of measurement for the plastering work, approved by the Supervisor, will be the meter.
square meters (m2), for a layer of 0.15 or 0.35 m in thickness.

7.0 PAYMENT TERMS

The area of lining, measured as described above, will be paid at the unit price of the
item 6.11 "Stone tapering e=0.15 m/e=0.35 m". This price and payment constitute compensation.
