Common use of Facing Clause in Contracts

Facing. A. All MSE walls shall be faced with precast concrete wall panels. The minimum precast concrete panel thickness shall be 140 mm, excluding any additional thickness required for aesthetic surface treatment. Minimum cover to reinforcing steel shall be 50 mm (excluding any additional thickness required for aesthetic surface treatment) on both front and back faces of the panels, and reinforcing steel shall be electrically isolated from soil reinforcement attachment hardware. B. The precast concrete panel system shall not be subjected to a differential settlement of more than 100 mm in 10 m of length along the wall. C. Joints between panels shall prevent the loss of fill through the joints. D. Corner units shall be provided and designed to prevent joint gaps from opening up between adjacent panels orientated in different directions. Acute wall corners less than 70° (measured between backfill sides of panels) shall not be used. E. The non-exposed side of MSE wall panels shall be in full contact with compacted backfill. F. Installed MSE wall panels shall be repairable/replaceable without adverse impact to the Transportation Structure and a repair/replacement procedure shall be included with the applicable Final Design.

B. The precast concrete panel system shall not be subjected to a differential settlement of more than 100 mm in 10 m of length along the wall. For MSE walls with full height precast concrete panels, the total settlement shall be limited to a maximum of 50 mm, and the differential settlement shall not exceed 20 mm in 10 m of length along the wall. C. Joints between panels shall prevent the loss of fill through the joints. D. Corner units shall be provided and designed to prevent joint gaps from opening up between adjacent panels orientated in different directions. Acute wall corners less than 70° (measured between backfill sides of panels) shall not be used. E. The non-exposed side of MSE wall panels shall be in full contact with compacted backfill. F. Installed MSE wall panels shall be repairable/replaceable without adverse impact to the Transportation Structure and a Structure. A repair/replacement procedure shall be included submitted to the City with the applicable Final Design.
