§ 15.01.1140. Forms.

A.

Form structures. Forms shall be of wood, plywood, steel or other approved material and shall be mortar tight. The forms and associated false work shall be substantial and unyielding and shall be constructed so that finished concrete will conform to the specified dimensions and contours. Form surfaces shall be clean, smooth and free from holes, dents, sags or other irregularities. Forms shall be coated with a nonstaining form oil before being set into place. Care shall be taken to prevent oil from getting on reinforcement or anchors. Reinforcement or anchors shall be clean before placing of concrete.

Metal ties or anchors within the forms shall be equipped with cones, she-bolts or other devices that permit their removal to a depth of at least one inch without injury to the concrete. Ties designed to break off below the surface of the concrete shall not be used without cones.

All edges that will be exposed to view when the structure is completed shall be chamfered by placing molding in the forms, unless finishing with molding tools.
