3.3 INSTALLATION, GENERAL A. Do not use unit pavers with chips, cracks, voids, discolorations, and other defects that might be

visible in finished work. B. Mix pavers from several pallets or cubes, as they are placed, to produce uniform blend of colors

and textures. C. Cut unit pavers with motor-driven masonry saw equipment to provide clean, sharp, unchipped

edges. Cut units to provide pattern indicated and to fit adjoining work neatly. Use full units without cutting where possible. Hammer cutting is not acceptable. 1. For concrete pavers, a block splitter may be used.

D. Joint Pattern: As indicated on paving schedule. E. Tolerances: Do not exceed 1/16-inch unit-to-unit offset from flush (lippage) nor 1/8 inch in 24

inches and 1/4 inch in 10 feet from level, or indicated slope, for finished surface of paving. F. Expansion and Control Joints: Provide joint filler at locations and of widths indicated. Install

joint filler before setting pavers. Make top of joint filler flush with top of pavers. G. Provide edge restraints as indicated. Install edge restraints before placing unit pavers.

1. Where pavers set in mortar bed are indicated as edge restraints for pavers set in aggregate setting bed, install pavers set in mortar and allow mortar to cure before placing aggregate setting bed and remainder of pavers. Cut off mortar bed at a steep angle so it will not interfere with aggregate setting bed.

3.4 AGGREGATE SETTING-BED APPLICATIONS A. Place leveling course and screed to a thickness of 1 to 1-1/2 inches, taking care that moisture

content remains constant and density is loose and constant until pavers are set and compacted. B. Set pavers with a minimum joint width of 1/16 inch and a maximum of 1/8 inch, being careful not

to disturb leveling base. If pavers have spacer bars, place pavers hand tight against spacer bars. Use string lines to keep straight lines. Fill gaps between units that exceed 3/8 inch with pieces cut to fit from full-size unit pavers. 1. When installation is performed with mechanical equipment, use only unit pavers with

spacer bars on sides of each unit. C. Vibrate pavers into leveling course with a low-amplitude plate vibrator capable of a 3500- to

5000-lbf compaction force at 80 to 90 Hz. Perform at least three passes across paving with vibrator. Vibrate under the following conditions:

UNIT PAVING


1. After edge pavers are installed and there is a completed surface or before surface is exposed to rain.

2. Before ending each day's work, fully compact installed concrete pavers to within 36 inches of the laying face. Cover pavers that have not been compacted, and leveling course on which pavers have not been placed, with nonstaining plastic sheets to protect them from rain.

D. Spread dry sand and fill joints immediately after vibrating pavers into leveling course. Vibrate pavers and add sand until joints are completely filled, then remove excess sand. Leave a slight surplus of sand on the surface for joint filling.

E. Do not allow traffic on installed pavers until sand has been vibrated into joints. F. Repeat joint-filling process 30 days later.

3.5 REPAIRING AND CLEANING A. Remove and replace unit pavers that are loose, chipped, broken, stained, or otherwise

damaged or that do not match adjoining units. Provide new units to match adjoining units and install in same manner as original units, with same joint treatment and with no evidence of replacement.
