Concrete workmanship specifications

Concrete workmanship specifications

Concrete workmanship specifications

(OP)
I am looking for a ACI or IBC reference for concrete finishes, specifically exterior concrete steps and sidewalks.  IBC section 1009 details the geometric parameters, but does state anything regarding the workmanship.  
Is there a workmanship parameter somewhere else in IBC?  Is there a workmanship parameter in ACI?  If so, please provide a section.  Thanks.

PS: I am located in Western PA.

RE: Concrete workmanship specifications

The only thing I can find is in ACI 301, Section 5.3.  Article 5.3.7 covers repair of surface defects.  

RE: Concrete workmanship specifications

Yes, ACI has finish tolerances based on the use.  Check the ACI Manual of Practice.  I would give you the citation, but I don't have my reference with me at the moment.

RE: Concrete workmanship specifications

ACI 117, "Specifications for Tolerances for Concrete Construction and Materials."

Thanks to all.  I got my hands on 301, and now I need to order 117.  Its hard to search online and order pdfs because they are expensive for the whole set.
