CSI MasterFormat Document Organization
In the early 1960s the need for a uniform system for organizing specifications was identified and
resulted in the publishing of the CSI MasterFormat, named after its author, the Construction
Specifications Institute (CSI). The CSI MasterFormat introduced the seventeen division format
associated with the ability to organize an infinite number of subject sections. In 1978,
Construction Specifications Canada (CSC) joined with CSI to produce the first edition of
MasterFormat.
The MasterFormat incorporates a complete organizational format for project manuals by
including bidding requirements, contract forms, conditions of the contract and the General
Requirements, in addition to the Technical Specifications Divisions 02 through 16. This
document has been the construction industrys consensus standard for the organization of
technical information. It is accepted by the U.S. federal agencies and most state and local
governments. It was subsequently adopted by the McGraw-Hill Sweets Catalogs, the R.S. Means
cost estimating books, and other organizations.
MasterFormat is intended to classify detailed construction information into a standard order or
sequence by materials and methods. This is done by establishing a detailed master list of
divisions, sections and parts. The MasterFormat facilitates construction communication,
promotes standardization in the industry, and facilitates the retrieval of information. It is
primarily used for the organization of project manuals, detailed construction cost estimates, and
product data filing.

MasterFormat Numbering System
The MasterFormat number system categorizes the Bidding Requirements and Forms, Contract
Forms and Conditions of the Contract into Division 0 - Bidding Requirements. Second, the
MasterFormat uses a series of numbers associated with the sixteen divisions which address
detailed construction specifications associated with products and systems. Division 1 - General
Requirements outlines the specific administrative and procedural requirements that apply to all of
the Technical Specification sections. Divisions 02 through 16 - Technical Specifications contain a
written description of the specific requirements relating to a specific product or system. The
Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) has developed the following Standard MasterFormat
numbering system consisting of the following Documents and Divisions.

CSI Masterformat Sections

The CSI Masterformat breaks down Divisions 02 - 16 into Sections using a three-digit
numbering system. For example, in Division 02 - Sitework the Earthwork is under section
number 200. Therefore, the complete Division and Section number is 02200.

CSI MaterFormat Parts
Each technical Specification Section within a Division is further broken down into Parts. Part 1
is titled General. Part 2 is titled Products, and Part 3 is titled Execution. Part 1 contains these
titles: Work Included, References, Quality Assurance, Submittals, Storage, and Environmental
Requirements. Part 2 contains these titles: Acceptable Manufacturers, Types of Materials and
Product Standards. Part 3 contains these titles: Preparation, Installation, Tolerances, Cleaning
and Protection of the finished work. The discussion and example below will primarily focus on
Part 1 titled General and the subsection titled Reference standards because it utilizes the law
principle called Incorporated by Reference.
Part 1 generally contains a list of additional reference standards with complete designations and
titles. It also identifies specific requirements for the submittal of shop drawings and product data
sheets for each section. Reference standards are documents that are not physically attached with
the Documents, but are referenced to in the documents may be part of the contract. The most
common clause used to incorporate an item by reference is to state in the documents that the
Reference Standards are "herewith made a part of the Specifications." This normally requires the
Contractor to have these available at the job site. The specific Reference Standards that the
Contractor must refer to are stated at the beginning of each Section of the Technical
Specifications under Part 1. For example, Division 3 is Concrete and Section 200 is Concrete
Reinforcement, PART 1.03 is Reference Standards and the A - J refers to the specific reference
Standards required. Numerous CSI Division numbers, Section numbers with Part 1 Reference

Construction Methods. Materials and Equipment
The contractor is responsible for the temporary shoring system selected and the design of the
shoring system. These are not shown on the plans or described in any detail within the
construction documents. The estimator is responsible for determining the number, size and cost
for all temporary structures. These structures are normally utilized to restrain water, soil, existing
structures, etc. Some of the more common temporary systems are described below.
Temporary Shoring Systems
The Cofferdam is a water tight rectangular structure built to restrain water and soil. It is utilized
around the foundations of bridge piers or to have working space to place an item below grade. A
cofferdam contains driven sheet piling (Uprights), wales(Walers) and Cross braces (Struts). To
ensure structural soundness of the cofferdam, the sheet piles are driven beyond the bottom of the
excavation at least two feet. This extension is called the Toe. The most common materials for
construction of a cofferdam are wood timber and structural steel. If moderate ground water is
encountered, Tongue & Groove sheeting is normally utilized to keep out the water. If
considerable water is present, steel sheet piling is used.
Cribbing and Tie Backs shoring is a method of restraining a vertical wall of soil where it is
impractical to slope the soil such as in a downtown area where the excavation and new
substructure are below the street level. This system requires timbers called cribbing to be placed
horizontally with rods (tiebacks) drilled through the cribbing at an angle back into the soil. This
shoring system allows the contractor to maximize the open space.
Underpinning is the process of supporting an existing structure when the new excavation will be
below the existing structures foundation. This requires temporary supports to support the
structure while an extension to the existing foundation is being placed.
Dewatering is the process of removing water or in some cases lowering the water table to install
an item below the existing water table. There are two dewatering methods. The first method is by
utilizing a pump with a suction hose and discharge hose. The second method is to utilize wells
points placed at specified intervals to lower the water table temporarily.
Equipment Mobilization is the process of loading off- road equipment, transporting it to the job
site and assembling at the site. The assembly of a large lifting crane can require 7 -9 workers
approximately three days if the crane requires the boom to be assembled and the cables to be run
through the cranes jib. Equipment Demobilization is the process of disassembling equipment.

Excavation Shoring Systems
A Support or Shoring System is a structure such as a timber shoring system or hydraulic shoring
system that supports the sides of an excavation and protects employees against cave-ins.
According to the OSHA Excavation Safety Standards, anytime a worker enters a trench at least
five (5) feet deep you must provide protection from cave-ins. After a qualified person has
determined the type of soil, they have a few options. First, they can design a shoring system using
the Shoring Designs provided in the Standards. The Second option is to design a support system
using a Manufacturer's system. Finally, they can use a trench box. Below we will define the
shoring options outlined in the excavation safety standards for shoring systems less than twenty
feet deep. According to the OSHA Construction Standards, for excavations more than twenty
(20) feet deep you must contact a Registered Professional Engineer (RPE) to design the
protection system.
The OSHA Standards for the Construction Industry 29 CFR Part 1926.650(b) titled, Definitions
applicable to subpart P - Excavations defines the following shoring terms.
The Sheeting means the individual members of a shoring system that are closely spaced together
to retain the earth. Sheeting is also called Uprights or Sheet Piling. OSHA defines the term
Uprightsas the vertical members of a trench shoring system placed in contact with the earth
and usually positioned so that individual members do not contact each other (p 253).
The Wales means the horizontal members of a shoring system placed parallel to the excavation
face whose sides bear against the vertical members of the shoring system. They are set
perpendicular to the sheeting. The Crossbraces or Struts are the horizontal members of the
shoring system that span across the width of an excavation. They are installed perpendicular to
the sides of the excavation and the ends are connected to either uprights or wales.
OSHA also defines Tight Sheeting as the use of specially-edged timber planks (e.g. Tongue and
Groove) at least three inches thick. These are used when conditions are saturated or submerged in
water as defined in the OSHA 1926.652(g). Also, Close Sheeting refers to the space between the
timber planks not to exceed inch when placed edge to edge according to OSHA 1926.652(g),
titled Notes for all Tables in paragraph 2.
The Shield or Trench Box is a structure that normally does not prevent a cave-in but protects
employees within the structure. Shields may be permanent structures or may be designed to be
portable and moved along the trench. Shields used in trenches are usually referred to as "trench
boxes" or "trench shields.
186

Concrete Support Systems
Concrete Formwork is a temporary support system for restraining the compressive force from the
concrete. The OSHA Standards for the Construction Industry 29 CFR Part 1926.700(b) titled,
Definitions applicable to subpart Q - Concrete and Masonry Construction defines the following
formwork terms. Formwork is the total system of support for freshly placed or partially cured
concrete, including the sheeting that is in contact with the concrete as well as all supporting
members including shores, reshores, hardware, braces, and related hardware. Shoring means a
supporting member that resists a compressive force imposed by a load. Reshoring means the
construction operation in which shoring equipment called reshores is placed, as the original
forms and shores are removed, in order to support partially cured concrete and construction loads
for elevated slab and beams. The slip form system is used to make a continuous vertical concrete
pour which moves up on the freshly poured concrete at a constant speed.
Another temporary operation is called a Lift-Slab or a jacking operation which takes cured
concrete slabs and lifts them vertically into placed using hydraulic jacks. An additional
temporary system is called tilt-up construction. This system has the concrete poured on the
ground into panels and after they are cured they are lifted or tilted up into place vertically.
Finally, there is a formwork system called a flying deck form system which is a complete
formwork support system that is repositioned using a crane for the next pour.
There are various methods for pouring the concrete such as direct chute, crane and bucket,
concrete buggies, concrete pumping, tremie, shotcrete and sometimes by conveyor. The Concrete
bucket is attached to the crane and a person pulls on a handle which opens the bottom of the
bucket and pours concrete. This method is called the crane and bucket operation. There are two
types of concrete buggies: Hand or Georgia buggies and the motorized buggies. The hand
Georgia buggy has a very limited capacity of about 1.5 cubic feet, therefore, it is used to move
small amounts of concrete. The Motorized Concrete Buggy is a small rubber tired vehicle with a
dump box that carries up to 14 cubic feet. A Concrete pump is a truck mounted equipped with a
placement boom or hose which pressurizes the hose system to pump the concrete to elevated
locations or an inaccessible location. Tremie is the process of pouring concrete under water using
a tube that is submerged into the fresh concrete at all times.
The Structural Engineering Institute (SEI) of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
insists that more failures occur during construction than after completion, therefore, they have
developed a standard titled, SEI/ASCE 37-02, Design Loads on Structures During Construction.
Another temporary area that fails during construction is the masonry wall bracing. Under the
Construction OSHA Standards Part 1926.700 titled Masonry Construction it states that
temporary bracing should be provided for walls more than 8 feet high and the bracing shall not
exceed 20 feet horizontally. Recently, the Masonry Institute has developed a temporary masonry
bracing standard for construction.
187

Lifting Systems
The Jin Pole is a lifting system which utilizes a single pole or double pole above grade vertical
lifting system with the intended purpose of lifting an unusually long horizontal piece of
equipment into its permanent vertical position. The Jin poles are attached to a temporary
foundation and the guy lines are attached to the top of each Jin pole and tied to deadmen buried
in the ground.
Cranes are used to hoist and move loads from one location to another and it is necessary to know
the lifting capacity and working range of a crane selected to perform a given service.
Manufacturers and suppliers furnish this information in literature describing their products.
When a crane lifts a load there is a tendency to tip the machine over. This introduces what is
defined as the tipping condition. A machine is considered to be at the point of tipping when a
balance is reached between the overturning moment of the load and the stabilizing moment of the
machine when the crane is on a firm level supporting surface. A track mounted or a crawler
mounted crane sets on a track base which rotates 360 degrees and the boom is attached at the
base of the crane. A rubber tired crane is extremely mobile and it can be easily transported from
one job site to another over the road. The crane mat is normally made of large square timbers tied
together using cables threaded through the center of the timbers at specified spacings. It is best to
place the crane on a mat to ensure that the load is distributed evenly.
Tower Cranes are available as rail mounted units, stationary units, climbing units and mobile
units. The rail mounted units can be equipped with fixed or slewing towers. Tower cranes
generally have a larger area of coverage than climbing and stationary tower cranes. Tower cranes
have their boom above the structure and it lifts the load vertically until it is above the structure,
then it can move the load horizontally. A tower crane looks like an offset Tee.
A Crane Load Capacity Chart is provided with each crane by the crane manufacturer which
indicates its safe lifting capacity under differing conditions. The major factor for safely lifting a
load by a crane is its operating radius which is the horizontal distance from the center of the
rotation to the hook. Some other factors which affect lifting capacity are the position of the crane
in relationship to its base, the placement or use of outriggers and the soil conditions. Also, the
boom angle for a crawler mounted lifting crane is normally between 55 degrees and 80 degrees.
Working Range of a Crane Chart
This crane table shows lifting ranges for a dragline, a clamshell and a lifting crane. From the crane
table, the working range of a dragline is from 25 degrees to 39 degrees, the clamshell range is
between 40 degrees and 54 degrees and the crane lifting range is between 55 degrees and 80
degrees. The crane chart also contains the distance from the center line rotation in feet along the
horizontal axis and the height of a structure in feet such as a wall along the vertical structure. To
utilize the chart, lets assume that you are lifting an item over a vertical wall that is 45 feet above
the ground and the horizontal distance from the centerline of the rotation is 60 feet.
188

The fist step is to find the working range for a lifting crane which is between 55 degrees and 80
degrees. Next, find the length of boom in feet required by determining if the rotation distance or
the height above the ground is the controlling factor. In this example, using the height in feet
above the ground of 45 feet and in the lifting crane range of 55 - 80 degrees the length of boom,
the curved lines, needed is 50 feet. Now, using the center line rotation in feet of 60 feet and in the
lifting crane range of 55 - 80 degrees the length of boom needed is 100 feet. This is found by
entering the table along the horizontal axis at 60 feet and following the vertical line until it in
within the lifting crane range and finding the intersection of the length of boom in feet curved line
and the vertical (60 feet) line. The Crane Chart below indicates the working range of a crane.

River, NJ: Prentice-Hall. (p 224).

Sling Angles are formed by the legs of the sling and the horizontal plane and the rated capacity of
any sling depends on its size, its configuration and the angles. A sling with two legs that is used to
lift a 1000 pound object will have a 500 pound load in each leg when the sling angle is 90
degrees. The load in each leg will increase as the angle is decreased and at 30 degrees the load
will be 1000 pounds in each leg. Therefore, it is extremely important to keep the sling angles
greater than 45 degrees. Hence, sling angles approaching 30 degrees should be considered
extremely hazardous and avoided at all costs. Some load tables list sling angles as low as 15
degrees but the use of any sling at an angle less than 30 degrees is extremely dangerous. This is
not only because of the high loads associated with them but because of the effect on the load of an
error in sling angle measurement of as little as 5 degrees. It has been shown that an assumed sling
angle of 15 degrees has an assumed load of 1,932 pounds per Leg but, if the actual angle is
actually 10 degrees then the actual load is 2,880 pounds per leg. This illustrates how cautious you
must be in ensuring that the angle is greater than 45 degrees and the importance of measuring the
angle accurately.
The major types of crane attachments are the lift hook, the lifting beam and hook, the concrete
bucket, the clamshell bucket, orange peel bucket, the pile driver, the auger or drilled attachment,
and the dragline. Each attachment is described below. The Lift Hook has a sling or a configuration
of slings connected to the hook on the crane. The Lifting Beam is utilized to lift long items such as
beams for a bridge. The Beam has two lifting at each end with the crane hook connected to the
center of the lifting beam. The Clamshell bucket opens and is dropped straight down into the soil
being excavated and the jaws close toward each other. The Clamshell bucket is utilized to
excavate inside the cofferdam after the sheet piles are driven. The Orange Peel bucket is similar
to the Clamshell bucket but it opens and has straighter sides and it is dropped straight down into
the soil being excavated and the jaws close toward each other. The Pile Driver can replace the
boom or it can be attached to the boom via the hook and suspended from the crane. The Auger or
Drilled pile is an attachment to the crane for drilling Caissons. These drill attachments have a
mechanical device at the bottom of the caisson to form the bell.
Finally, the Dragline is used to excavate earth and load it into hauling units, such as trucks or
tractor-pulled wagons, or to deposit it in levees, dams, and spoil banks near the pits from which it
is excavated. A dragline usually does not have to go into a pit or hole in order to excavate. It may
operate on natural ground while excavating material from a pit with its bucket. This will be very
advantageous when earth is removed from a ditch, canal, or pit containing water. If the earth is
hauled with trucks, they do not have to go into the pit and contend with mud. If the earth can be
deposited along a canal or ditch or near a pit, it frequently is possible to use a dragline with a
boom long enough to dispose of the earth in one operation, eliminating the need for hauling units,
which will reduce the cost of handling the soil. A Dragline is an excellent unit for excavating
trenches when an angle of repose can be utilized without shoring.
190

Excavation Equipment
Power Shovels are normally utilized in an area where the excavation is above the location of the
machine. The shovels bucket opens at the bottom to place the soil into trucks. They are capable
of excavating all classes of earth, except solid rock, without prior loosening. They may be
mounted on crawler tracks, in which case they are referred to as crawler-mounted. They may also
be mounted on rubber-tired wheels. The non-self-propelled units mounted on the rear of trucks,
which are refereed to as truck-mounted, have separate engines for operating them. The Hydraulic
Backhoe is normally utilized in an area where the excavation is below the location of the
machine. The bucket action of a Backhoe is to pull the excavated material toward the machine.
Front End Loaders are used extensively to excavate earth, gravel or rock materials from a pile and
place the material into a truck to be transported over a road and deposited at another location.
There are basically two types of front-end-loaders, the crawler-tractor-mounted and the wheeltractor-mounted. They may be further classified by the capacities of the buckets or the weights
that the buckets can lift.
Scrapers are used to move large quantities of earth economically for relatively short haul
distances. There are a number of different types of scrapers such as the crawler-type tractor,
pulling a rubber-tired self-loading scraper. The high draw-bar pulls in loading a scraper, combined
with good traction, even on poor haul roads, gives the crawler tractor an advantage for short hauls.
However, as the haul distance is increased, the low speed of a crawler tractor is a disadvantage
compared with a wheel tractor. Unless the loading operation is difficult, a crawler tractor can load
a scraper without the aid of a bulldozer. However, if there are several scraper units on a job, the
increased output resulting from using a bulldozer to help load the scrapers usually will justify the
use of a bulldozer. Te wheel-tractor scrapers are for longer haul distances because of their higher
speed. Also, a wheel type tractor-pulled self-loading scraper will permit it to move earth more
economically than a crawler-type tractor. Although, the wheel-type tractor scraper lacks loading
ability, the higher travel speed, which may exceed 30 mph for some models, will offset the
disadvantage in loading when the haul distance is sufficiently long. The size of a scraper may be
specified as the struck, or heaped, capacity of the bowl, expressed in cubic yards. The struck
capacity is the volume of the material that a scraper will hold when the top of the material is
struck off even with the top of the bowl. In specifying the heaped capacity of a scraper, some
manufacturers specify the slope of the material above the sides of the bowl with the designation
SAE which means the Society of Automotive Engineers. The SAE specifies a slope of 2:1,
measured horizontally and vertically, respectively. Since, the slope will vary with the class of
material being hauled, the heaped capacity is only an approximate value.
The Bottom-dump Wagons are to be used to haul materials, such as sand, gravel, reasonably dry
earth, coal, etc., which flow easily, the use of bottom-dump wagons will reduce the time required
to unload the units. Such units are particularly suitable for use where the materials are distributed
in layers on a fill or are discharged through grizzlies into hoppers. The rapid rate of discharging
the load gives these wagons a time advantage over rear-dump trucks.
191

Compaction Equipment
The Technical Specifications normally state the compaction method and the optimum moisture
content range. The measurement testing method for determining if the desired compaction has be
attained is the Modified Proctor Test or the Standard Proctor Test. For a contractor to attain the
prescribed compaction, it must determine the number of passes for a roller with a specified unit
pressure under the roller areas and the depth of each layer of soil to produce the desired
compaction. Compaction is attained by applying energy to a soil by one or more of the following
methods. The different methods to apply the energy is by a kneading or tamping action, a static
weight, a vibrating action, or an impacting force. The common pieces of compaction methods are
described below.
A kneading roller is the sheep's-foot type. This roller, which may be towed by a tractor or selfpropelled, consists of a hollow steel drum on whose outer surface there are welded a number of
projecting steel feet, which on different pieces of equipment may be of varying lengths and cross
sections. A unit may consist of one or several drums mounted on one or more horizontal axles.
The weight of a drum may be varied by adding water or sand to produce unit pressures under the
feet up to 750 psi or more. As a sheeps foot roller moves over the surface, the feet penetrate the
soil to produce a kneading action and a pressure to mix and compact the soil from the bottom to
the top of the layer. With repeated passages of the roller over the surface, the penetration of the
feet decreases until the roller is said to walk out of the fill. The Sheep's-foot rollers are quite
effective in compacting clays and clay mixtures. However, they cannot compact granular soils
such as sand and gravel. Also, the depth of a layer of soil to be compacted is limited too
approximately the length of the feet.
Smooth-wheel Rollers may be classified by weight, which is usually stated in tons. A three-wheel
two-axle roller. The front wheel is used for steering, while the two rear wheels are used for
driving the unit. A two-wheel tandem roller of varying size is available. A three-wheel tandem
roller differs from the two-wheel tandem unit in that it has three drums and three axles. This unit
can be more effective than the two-wheel tandem or the three-wheel two-axle units in eliminating
or reducing transverse surface roughness because of the concentration of pressure on the middle
wheel when the unit passes over high spots in the surface being compacted. The rolls are steel
drums, which may be ballasted with water or sand to increase the weights. If a roller is designated
as 14-20 tons, it means that the minimum weight of the machine only is 14 tons and that it can be
ballasted to give a maximum weight of 20 tons. These rollers are effective in compacting granular
soils, such as sand, gravel, and crushed stone, and they are also effective in smoothing surfaces of
soils that have been compacted by tamping rollers. Another type designates the weight per linear
inch of roller, such as 300 lb. per inch of roller width. Specifying the minimum weight per linear
inch of width is a more definitive method.
Pneumatic-tired Rollers are surface rollers which apply the principle of kneading action to affect
compaction below the surface. They may be self-propelled or towed and they may be small or
192

large-tired units. The small-tired units usually have two tandem axles with four to nine tires on
each axle. The rear wheels are spaced to travel over the surfaces between the front wheels, which
produces a complete coverage of the surface. The wheels may be mounted in a manner that will
give them a wobbly-wheel effect to increase the kneading action on the soil. The Large-tired rollers
are available in sizes varying from 15 to 200 tons gross weight. These units are frequently used to
compact subgrade and base material on airfields and earth-fill dams.
The Manually Operated Vibratory Tamping Compactor is used in locations where larger units are
not practical. These are self-propelled and they are called a vibrating plate for compacting sand or a
vibrating sheepsfoot compactor for compacting clay.
The Manually Operated Rammer Compactor is normally gasoline-engine-driven rammer used for
compacting cohesive or mixed soils in confined areas. these units range in impact from about 300
to 900 or more ft-lb per sec at an impact rate up to 850 per minute, depending on the specific
model. Performance criteria include pounds per blow, area covered per hour, and depth of
compaction (lift) in inches. Rammers are self-propelled in that each blow moves them ahead
slightly to contact new soil.

Schedules on Plans and in the Technical Specification
Many of the CSI Divisions utilize schedules to represent the work. Therefore, it is essential that a
Constructor be able to identify and interpret information from various schedules as well as from
the technical specifications and the plans. Some of the most common schedules, construction
specifications and plans from various divisions will be discussed below.
Concrete Beam Schedule for Division 03 - Concrete
The Concrete Reinforcing Steel Institute (CRSI) defines reinforced concrete as a combination of
both reinforcing steel and concrete using the best properties of each. They take into consideration
the compression properties of the concrete and the tension strength of reinforcing steel.
The Reinforcing Steel Bars are also referred to as deformed bars. Reinforcing steel is most
common in the form of deformed bars which contains ridges which makes a good bond with the
concrete instead of smooth reinforcing. Each reinforcing bar contains identifying marks. The
uppermost designation is usually a letter identifying the manufacturer, the next mark the bar size
such as a #11. The bar numbers designate eighths of an inch beginning with a No. 3. The rebar
diameter is determined by taking the bar # and dividing by eight. Therefore, a #3 bar is 3/8 inch in
diameter. A #4 bar is 4/8 or inch. The third mark down is type of steel used. Reinforcing bars are
made of either new billet, axle, or rail steel. The fourth identifying mark may be shown on the bar
is the tensile yield point. The tensile yield point indicates the minimum pounds per square inch
(psi). A grade of 40 reinforcing bar has a minimum yield of 40,000 psi. Other grades are 50 and 60.
Welded Wire Fabric (WWF) is used in slabs-on-grade and highways. It is made of wire generally
arranged to cross at right angles at each intersection. The welded wire fabric is made and delivered
in rolls or as sheets. The designation is 6 x 6 - W1.4 x W1.4 (10 x 10). The 6 x 6 means that the
spacing is 6 inches by 6 inches and the W1.4 xW1.4 is the wire (number) size for a 10-gauge
material. The parenthesis indicates the old designation indicating the wire gauge.
Bar supports are normally incorporated by reference and they are not shown on the plans. It is the
Contractors responsibility to ensure that they are placed properly. This requires the contractor to
review the CRSI 65 Recommended Practice for Placing Bar Supports, Specifications and
Nomenclature. Typically they are designed to raise the reinforcing bars to the required height
above the bottom of the forms and to hold the bars in place. Many times bar supports are placed in
the upper third of the slab and the lower third of the slab. This requires two sets of bar supports
placed in a slab or beam. Normally these bar supports are called slab bolsters and beam bolsters
and if their location is in the upper third of the slab or beam, then a U is placed at the end of the
abbreviation. For example, BB means Beam Bolster and BBU means Beam Bolster Upper. The
Concrete Reinforcing Steel Institute (CRSI) publication titled, Manual of Standard Practice and
the adapted table titled Bar Support Designations is shown below.
201

The CSI Master Format has the bar supports under Division 03 CONCRETE, Section 200
REINFORCEMENT and Part 1.03 REFERENCE STANDARDS. A typical specification would
indicate that the Contractor must be in compliance with CRSI 65 Recommended Practice for
Placing Bar Supports, Specifications and Nomenclature. CRSI is an abbreviation for the Concrete
Reinforcing Steel Institute. Some of the typical Types and Sizes of Wire Bar Support with their
abbreviations, the type of support and the typical sizes are identified below.

Column, Beam and Slab Schedules

Are utilized to provide the Constructor with detailed information for placing the reinforcing bars,
the stirrups, and the bar supports. Reinforcing bars are designated as either straight bars or bar
bends which are fabricated by the manufacturer in the shop and shipped to the job site.
Stirrups are also known as ties and they are used to wrap the around the horizontal or vertical bars
at specified on center spacings. A Beam schedule is provided below as an exercise.
