All reinforced concrete shall be <br />kept at a temperature above;freezing for at,least.forty-eight hours after being <br />put in place. gll forms under concrete placed in freezing weather shall remain <br />until all evidences of frost are reinoved froin the concrete and the natural harden- <br />-ing of the concrete has proceeded-to the point of safety. kll,such.U;ork after cen- <br />tering is removed shall be givent the plysical test.prescribed.in Section-150. <br />Sec.147.

This.opening shall.not be closed until all is in readiness <br />for pourin;?'the columns. .The forms shall be carefully c].eaned just before.concret- <br />ing, and all chips, ice and other foreign matter removed. <br />• Before reinoving the ahores .under.. any_ :Ueaw or girder the coluinns supporting <br />. 1't ?sha11 be stripped so that-the colurnns may be examined.on ,all sides, Pouring <br />, coltiunns in chases left in the masonry shall not. be_ allowed. - <br />Provided ample shores are used to carry the fu11 weight of the floor, col- <br />umn forms ma.y be removed in noi less than four,(4).days after pouring. ? <br />- The time-which shall'elapse before removing the shores under beams and gir- <br />ders varies with the design and dondition of the weather, but in no case shall <br />they be removed in les:s than. three (3) weeks after. pouring,, p.rovided.that t he <br />beams and girders carry their otvil -weight only., Where' beams and girders ca.rry con- <br />stru.ction loads froin above, sufficient.shoring ,;shall be left. in place to carry <br />these loads until the completion of the work. <br />--The supports ilnder.floor slabs shall not, be removed in less tnan ten l1o)
