All sample containers and equipment used in sampling paint and paint constituents shall be clean and free of all contaminants. The apparatus required shall consist of:
(a) Appropriate size and type of sample container as given in the following subsections for the type of paint to be sampled.
(b) Appropriate thief or sampling device to obtain a representative sample.
(c) Packaging and labeling materials as described in [[106.3 Samples, Tests and Cited Specifications#106.3.1.2.2 Transportation of Samples|EPG 106.3.1.2.2 Transportation of Samples]] and [[106.3 Samples, Tests and Cited Specifications#106.3.1.3 Sampling Supplies|EPG 106.3.1.3 Sampling Supplies]].
==1045.2 Procedure==
Samples shall be taken by, or under the direct supervision of, the inspector, using all possible caution, skill and judgment to ensure that a representative sample is obtained.
When sampling paint and paint constituents, take precautions to ensure that the samples are not contaminated or altered by any material not representative of the lot being sampled. Some paints or liquid constituents exhibit a tendency to settle or separate upon standing. Because of this, it is important to ensure that containers to be sampled, no matter the size container, is uniform prior to obtaining a sample. Mark all sample containers with the type of material, lot number, and the inspector's identification number. It is essential that samples of constituents be marked with the chemical names as called for in the given specification. Unless specifically requested, obtain only one random sample from each lot, batch, day's pack or other unit of production. In cases where several small lots are uniformly mixed in a larger mixer or tank, the mixed material shall be considered as one lot.
Whenever possible, obtain samples from original, unopened containers for all types of materials. When constituent containers have no markings distinguishing between units of production, take samples from different containers or storage units in the ratio of two samples for each 10,000 pounds (4500 kg) or portion thereof and blended in equal quantities to form a composite sample. Submit constituent samples only when requested by the Laboratory.
Packaging must comply with the applicable requirements of [http://www.modot.org/business/standards_and_specs/SpecbookEPG.pdf#page=14 Sec 1045].
===1045.2.1 Vehicle Constituents===
When samples are requested by the Laboratory, ensure that the contents of the container or tank to be sampled has been thoroughly mixed. Fill the sample container, leaving approximately one inch (25 mm) space for expansion. Secure friction top lids with clips or other fastening devices before shipment. Observe shipping regulations when preparing samples for shipment.
===1045.2.2 Pigments===
When the Laboratory requests samples, open the package or storage container and take a sample at random from the contents.
===1045.2.3 Mixed Paints===
Sample containers are one quart (1 L), friction top cans and should be filled, leaving approximately one inch (25 mm) space for expansion. The inspector may mark and submit an original, unopened container of paint to the Laboratory in cases where the containers are small, such as quarts (L) or gallons (L). When an original container of paint cannot be sent to the Laboratory and there are no facilities for mixing or shaking the material mechanically, the inspector must ensure a representative sample by the following steps:
(a) Pour off the top liquid into a clean, suitable container having a volume equal to or larger than the one being sampled.
(b) Stir the settled portion of the paint with a paddle, gradually reincorporating the poured off liquid in small quantities until all has been returned.
(c) Mix the paint by pouring it back and forth between the two containers several times.
(d) Obtain a sample promptly so that settling does not occur before the sample is obtained.
NOTE: This process is referred to as “boxing” the material.
When samples are taken during the filling of containers, obtain a composite sample by combining samples taken at the beginning, middle, and near the end of the operation.
Mechanically mix paint in holding tanks or 55 gallon (208 L) drums to ensure uniformity and sample promptly after mixing.
===1045.2.4 Submission of Samples===
Paint and some paint constituents require special handling. See [[106.3 Samples, Tests and Cited Specifications#106.3.1.2.2 Transportation of Samples|EPG 106.3.1.2.2 Transportation of Samples]] and [[106.3 Samples, Tests and Cited Specifications#106.3.1.3 Sampling Supplies|EPG 106.3.1.3 Sampling Supplies]] for packaging, labeling and marking instructions. Enter a Basic Sample Data report into AASHTOWARE Project (AWP) (see [https://epg.modot.org/forms/CM/AWP_MA_Sample_Record_General.docx AWP MA Sample Record, General]) for each sample of material submitted to the Laboratory.

106.3.2.93.1 Means of Evaluating Aggregate Alkali Carbonate Reactivity

1. Chemical Analysis

The chemical analysis of aggregate reactivity is an objective, quantifiable and repeatable test. MoDOT will perform the chemical analysis per the process identified in ASTM C 25 for determining the aggregate composition. The analysis determines the calcium oxide (CaO), magnesium oxide (MgO), and aluminum oxide (Al2O3) content of the aggregate. The chemical compositions are then plotted on a chart with the CaO/MgO ratio on the y-axis and Al2O3 percentage on the x-axis per Fig. 2 in AASHTO R 80. Aggregates are considered potentially reactive if the Al2O3 content is greater than or equal to 1.0% and the CaO/MgO ratio is either greater than or equal to 3.0 or less than or equal to 10.0 (see chart below). See flow charts in 106.3.2.93.2 for approval hierarchy. CaO, MgO and Al2O3 shall be analyzed by instrumental analysis only.

* MoDOT’s upper and lower limits of potentially reactive (shaded area) aggregates.

2. Petrographic Examination

A petrographic examination is another means of determining alkali carbonate reactivity. The sample aggregate for petrographic analysis will be obtained at the same time as the source sample. MoDOT personnel shall be present at the time of sample. The petrographic sample shall be placed in an approved tamper-evident container (provided by the quarry) for shipment to petrographer. Per ASTM C 295, a petrographic examination is to be performed by a petrographer with at least 5 years of experience in petrographic examinations of concrete aggregate including, but not limited to, identification of minerals in aggregate, classification of rock types, and categorizing physical and chemical properties of rocks and minerals. The petrographer will have completed college level course work in mineralogy, petrography, or optical mineralogy. MoDOT does not accept on-the-job training by a non-degreed petrographer as qualified to perform petrographical examinations. MoDOT may request petrographer’s qualifications in addition to the petrographic report. The procedures in C 295 shall be used to perform the petrographic examination. The petrographic examination report to MoDOT shall include at a minimum:

  • Quarry name and ledge name; all ledges if used in combination
  • MoDOT District quarry resides
  • Date sample was obtained; date petrographic analysis was completed
  • Name of petrographer and company/organization affiliated
  • Lithographic descriptions with photographs of the sample(s) examined
  • Microphotographs of aggregate indicating carbonate particles and/or other reactive materials
  • Results of the examination
  • All conclusions related to the examination

See flow charts in EPG 106.3.2.93.2 for the approval hierarchy. See EPG 106.3.2.93.3 for petrographic examination submittals. No direct payment will be made by the Commission for shipping the petrographic analysis sample to petrographer, or for the petrographic analysis performed by the petrographer.

3. Concrete Prism/Beam Test

ASTM C 1105 is yet another means for determining the potential expansion of alkali carbonate reactivity in concrete aggregate. MoDOT will perform this test per C 1105 at its Central Laboratory. Concrete specimen expansion will be measured at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. The test specimens will be considered alkali carbonate reactive (expansive) if the specimens expand greater than 0.015% at 3 months, 0.025% at 6 months, or 0.030% at 12 months. See flow chart in EPG 106.3.2.93.2 for the approval hierarchy.

902.5.43 Power Outages at Signalized Intersections

902.5.43.1 Temporary Stop Signs at Signalized Intersections

Support. Temporary Stop Signs (TSS) refer to stop signs that meet the MUTCD stop sign design requirements for regulatory signs and are temporarily installed at signalized intersections where the traffic signals cannot function due to damage and/or power outage. These temporary placements include but are not limited to roll-up stop signs, temporary mounts on the signal vertical upright, or stop signs mounted on other crash worthy devices.

Standard. If used, such signs shall remain at the intersection until power at the non-functioning signalized intersection has been restored (see EPG 902.5.43.1.4 Recovery).

902.5.43.1.1 Conditions For Use

Guidance. TSS may be erected at locations where a signalized intersection is non-functioning. A non-functioning signalized intersection is defined as an intersection that is equipped with a traffic signal that is damaged and/or without power which cannot display proper indications to control traffic.

After verifying that the signal is non-functioning, Districts should contact the appropriate utility company to notify them of the power outage, if applicable, and to determine if power will be restored in a reasonable amount of time (at the District’s discretion). If used, the TSS should be deployed as soon as practical depending on location of the signalized intersection and the stored TSS. Districts should also request police assistance for traffic control if they are not already present at the site or aware of the power outage. Outside of normal business hours, it might be necessary for the electrician or maintenance personnel to directly contact the highway patrol or local police and the power company. When a signalized intersection is non-functioning, then TSS may be installed when one of the following conditions is met:

  • When the traffic signal is both damaged and without power, or
  • When the traffic signal is without power and restoration of power using an alternate power source is not possible.

Standard. When TSS are utilized at a signalized intersection that is non-functioning, the District shall decide whether the power shall be disconnected or whether the signal should be switched to flash to avoid conflicts when power is restored. If switched to flash, the flash shall be red-red since TSS will be installed on all approaches, if used, at a signalized intersection without power (dark signals are to be treated like a 4-way stop according to the Missouri Driver’s Guide). The TSS shall not be displayed at the same time as any signal indication is displayed other than a flashing red.

A request shall be made of the nearest maintenance building, emergency responder, or external emergency responder (whomever stores the TSS) to bring stop signs to the intersection. Personnel or emergency responders instructed in signal operation shall disconnect the power or switch the signal to flash operation (external emergency responders will do this in the signal cabinet police door) before placing the TSS. Without this change in operation, the traffic signal could return to steady (stop-and-go) mode within seconds after the signal is repaired or power is restored, which would cause conflicts between the signal and the TSS (conflicting green or yellow indications with a stop sign for the same approach). The signal shall be visible to traffic on all approaches and all these approaches will flash upon restoration of power (see EPG 902.5.43.2 for more information regarding Startup from Dark).

Guidance. When law enforcement is present at a non-functioning signalized intersection to direct traffic, then the TSS that have been placed should be covered or removed to avoid conflicts (the law enforcements authority supersedes the TSS).

Option. If it has been determined that the power outage will last for an extended amount of time (at the district’s discretion) the signal heads may be covered to reduce the confusion of approaching motorists.

Guidance. If signal heads are covered, the appropriate enforcement agency should be advised and asked to occasionally monitor the intersection. Also, the power company should be advised and asked to notify proper personnel when the power is restored.

902.5.43.1.2 Location and Placement

Standard. The signalized intersection locations for installation of TSS shall meet the conditions of use in EPG 902.5.43.1.1 and shall be at the discretion of the district.

Guidance. The installation of TSS should be prioritized as follows (as applicable to each district):

  1. Signals with railroad preemption
  2. Signals with a speed limit greater than 50 mph
  3. Signals with a high accident rate
  4. Intersections difficult to flag or require multiple flaggers (non-routine roadway configurations/geometry, SPUIs, multi-lane approaches, etc.)
  5. Signals with high volumes (freeway type off-ramps, major roadways, etc.)
  6. Signals with frequent power outages
  7. Signals located at schools.

Standard. When used, TSS shall be placed in a location where they are visible to all lanes on all roadways. On two-way roadways, stop signs shall be erected on the right-hand side of all approaches. On divided highways, stop signs shall be erected on both the right and, if possible, on the left-hand side or at location for best visibility of all approaches.

Guidance. If the power outage is widespread, additional personnel should be requested to help with the placement of the signs.

902.5.43.1.3 Storage and Distribution

Standard. TSS shall be distributed by the district to the district’s maintenance personnel or emergency responders or external emergency responders on an as-needed basis. It shall be the responsibility of the district to develop a means of distribution.

902.5.43.1.4 Recovery

Standard. TSS shall remain at the intersection until power at the non-functioning signalized intersection has been restored. Power will remain disconnected or the signal will flash until TSS are removed. Immediately following TSS removal, personnel or emergency responders instructed in signal operation shall restore signal operation in accordance with the procedures set forth in EPG 902.5.43.2 Steady (stop-and-go) Mode for transition to steady (stop-and-go) mode.

The recovery of the TSS shall be accomplished by using the district’s maintenance personnel or emergency responders or external emergency responders by either of the following:

  • Complete removal from each intersection.
  • Stockpiling outside of the intersection to avoid conflicts with the signalized intersection (stockpiled signs shall not be faced towards the traveling public and stored not to damage sheeting) and stored in a location to not become a roadside hazard.

902.5.43.2 Start up from Dark at Signalized Intersections

Standard. When a signalized intersection has been damaged and/or is without power the district shall have either disconnected the power or switched the signal to flash to avoid conflicts when power is restored. If switched to flash, the flash shall be red-red since TSS will be installed on all approaches, if used, at a signalized intersection without power (dark signals are to be treated like a 4-way stop according to the Missouri Drive’s Guide). If TSS are in place, the power shall remain disconnected or the signal shall operate in flash mode until TSS are removed and personnel or emergency responders instructed in signal operation restore signal operation.

Steady (stop-and-go) Mode

Standard. When power is reconnected or when the signal is switched from flash to steady (stop-and-go) mode, the controllers shall be programmed for startup from flash. The signal shall flash red-red for 7 seconds and then change to steady red clearance for 6 seconds followed by beginning of major-street green interval or if there is no common major-street green interval, at the beginning of the green interval for the major traffic movement on the major street.

902.5.43.3 Battery Backup Systems at Signalized Intersections

902.5.43.3.1 Installation/Placement

Guidance. The installation of Battery Backup Systems(BBS) should be prioritized as follows (as applicable to each district):

  1. Signals with railroad preemption
  2. Signals with a speed limit greater than 50 mph
  3. Signals with a high accident rate
  4. Intersections difficult to flag or require multiple flaggers (non-routine roadway configurations/geometry, SPUIs, multi-lane approaches, etc.)
  5. Signals with high volumes (freeway type off-ramps, major roadways, etc.)
  6. Signals with frequent power outages
  7. Signals located at schools.

902.5.43.3.2 Duration

Standard. BBS shall be capable of operating at a minimum of 2 hours in steady (stop-and-go) mode and a minimum of 2 hours in flash operation.

Guidance. Any signalized intersection with BBS should have a generator socket for extended operation.
