1. CONCRETE WORKS

1.1 Scope

This specification describes the general requirements for concrete to be used on projects using in-situ production facilities inducing the requirements in regard to the quality, handling, storage of ingredients, proportioning, batching, mixing and testing of concrete, the requirements in regard to the quality, storage, bending and fixing of reinforcement and the transportation of concrete from the mixer to I the place of final deposit, placing, curing, protecting, repairing and finishing.

1.2 Construction Safety

IS 3696 (Parts I & II) Safety Code for scaffolds and ladders.

In the event that any state, city or other governmental bodies enforce requirements more stringent than those set forth in this Specification, then such requirements shall be considered part of this specification by reference thereto and shall supersede this Specification where applicable and any additional cost of complying therewith shall be deemed to be included in the quoted rates for concrete work.

1.3 General

The quality of materials and methods and control of manufacture and transportation of all concrete work irrespective of mix, whether reinforced or otherwise shall conform to the relevant portions of this Specification.

The Engineer shall have the right to inspect the source of materials, the layout and operation of procurement and storage of materials, the concrete batching and mixing equipment and the quality control systems. Such inspection shall be arranged and the approval of the Engineer obtained prior to the commencement of concrete work.

1.4 Materials for Standard Concrete

Ingredients used in the manufacture of standard concrete shall consist solely of a standard type Portland cement, clean sand, natural coarse aggregate, clean water and admixtures, if specified.

1.4.1 Cement

Unless otherwise specified or instructed by The Engineer cement shall be ordinary Portland cement in 50 Kg bags. The use of bulk cement will be permitted only with the approval of the Engineer. Changing of brands or type of cement within the same structure

will not be permitted. The Contractor will not be reimbursed for underweight bags.

A certified report attesting the conformity of the cement to IS from the cement manufacturer’s chemist shall be furnished to the Engineer. The Contractor at his own cost in a concrete testing laboratory will test cement before use. However, it will be totally the Contractor’s responsibility to ensure, before use, that cement procured by him conforms to the relevant IS. On no ground will claims for failure of concrete test cubes or any other defects in concrete, plaster or masonry be attributed to the quality of cement.

The institution will not supply any materials. The Contractor shall make his own arrangements for the storage of adequate quantities of cement. It will be issued in sufficient quantities to cover work requirements of one month or more, as deemed fit by The Engineer, and it will be the responsibility of Contractor to ensure adequate and proper storage. Cement in bulk may be stored in bins or silos, which will provide complete protection from dampness, contamination and minimize caking and false set. Cement bags shall be stored in a dry enclosed shed (storage under tarpaulins will not be permitted), well away from the outer walls and insulated 1mm the floor to avoid contact with moisture from the ground and so arranged as to provide ready access. Damaged or reclaimed or partly set cement will not be permitted to be used and shall be removed from the Site. Storage bins and storage arrangements shall be such that there is no dead storage. Not more than 12 bags shall be stacked in any tier. The Engineer shall approve storage arrangements.

Cement held in storage for a period of 90 (ninety) days and longer shall be tested. Should at any time the Engineer have reasons to consider that any cement is defective, then, irrespective of its original date of manufacture and/or the manufacturers test certificate, such cement shall be tested immediately at the Contractors own cost at a National Test or other approved Laboratory and until the results of such tests are found satisfactory, it shall not be used in any work. The Contractor shall not be entitled to any claim of any nature on this account.

1.4.2 Aggregates

Aggregate in general designates both fine and coarse inert materials used in the manufacture of concrete.

Fine Aggregate is aggregate most of which passes through a 4.75mm IS sieve.

Coarse Aggregate is aggregate most of which is retained on a 4.75mm IS sieve.

All fine and coarse aggregates proposed for use in the Works shall be subject to the approval of the Engineer and after specific materials have been accepted the source of supply of such materials shall not be changed without the prior written approval of the Engineer.

Aggregates shall, except as stated above, consist of natural sands, crushed stone and gravel from sources known to produce satisfactory aggregates for concrete and shall be chemically inert, strong, hard, durable against weathering, of limited porosity and free from deleterious material that may cause corrosion to the reinforcement or may impair the strength and/or durability of concrete, The grading of aggregates shall be such as to produce a dense concrete of specified strength and consistency that will work readily into position without segregation

and shall be based on the mix design” and preliminary tests on concrete hereinafter specified.

1.4.3 Fine Aggregates

Fine aggregates, except as stated above and for other than lightweight concrete, shall consist of natural or crushed sand to IS 383. The sand shall be clean, sharp, hard, strong and durable and shall be free from dust, vegetable substances, adherent coating clay, alkali, organic matter, mica, salt or other deleterious substances, which can be injurious to the setting qualities strength and durability of concrete. Silt content in sand will be measured by volume for every truckload before unloading at Site. Only good sand passing the test will be allowed to be unloaded.

Machine Made Sand

Machine made sand will be acceptable, provided the constituent rock/gravel composition is sound, hard, dense, non-organic, uncoated and durable against weathering.

Screening and Washing

Sand shall be prepared for use by such screening or washing, or all objectionable foreign and the sand grains to the required size fractions both, as necessary, to remove deleterious matter while separating size fractions.

Gradation

Unless otherwise directed or approved, the grading of sand shall be within the limits indicated here in below:

Coarse Aggregate

Coarse aggregates for concrete, except as stated above and for other than lightweight concrete, shall conform to IS 383. These shall consist of natural or crushed stone or gravel and shall be dean and free from elongated, flaky or laminated pieces, adhering coatings, clay lumps, coal residue, clinkers, slag, alkali, mica, organic matter or other deleterious matter.

Screening and Washing

Natural gravel and crushed rock shall be screened and/or washed for the removal of dirt or dust coating if so required by the Engineer.

1.4.4 Water

Water used for both mixing and curing shall be free from injurious amounts of

deleterious matter. Potable water is generally satisfactory for mixing and curing concrete. In case of doubt, the suitability of water for making concrete shall be ascertained by the compressive strength and initial setting time test specified in IS 456. The sample of water taken for testing shall be typical of the water proposed for concrete, due account being paid to seasonal variations. Samples shall not receive any treatment before testing other than that envisaged in the regular supply of water proposed for use in concrete. Samples shall be stored in clean containers previously rinsed out with similar water.

An average of 28 (twenty eight) days compressive strength of at least three 15cm concrete cubes prepared with water proposed to be used shall not be less than 90% of the average strength of three similar concrete cubes prepared with distilled water.

Initial setting times of test blocks made with the appropriate test cement and proposed water shall not be less than 30 (thirty) minutes and shall not differ by more than ± 3 minutes from the initial setting time of control test blocks prepared with the appropriate test cement and distilled water. Test blocks shall be prepared and tested in accordance with the requirements of IS 4031.

Where water can be shown to contain an excess of acid, alkali sugar or salt the Engineer may refuse permission for its use. As a guide, the following concentrations represent the maximum permissible values

to neutralize 200m1 sample of water, using Phenolphthalein as indicator, it should not require more than 2m1 of 0.1 normal NaOH. Details of tests shall be given in accordance with IS 3025.

to neutralize 200m1 sample of water, using methyl orange as an indicator, it should not require more than l0mI of 0.1 normal HCI. Details of tests shall be given in accordance with IS 3025.

Wire mesh or fabric shall be in accordance with IS 1566. Substitution of reinforcement will not be permitted except upon the prior written approval of the Engineer. Plain round mild steel bars Grade II as per IS 432 (Pad I) may be used with prior approval of The Engineer in writing and with 10% increase in the reinforcement area but its use shall not be permitted in structures located in earthquake zones subjected to severe damage (as per IS: 1895) and for structures subject to dynamic loading (other than wind loading), such as railway and high way bridges, crane girders, frames supporting rotary or reciprocating machinery etc.

Storage

Steel reinforcement shall not be kept in direct contact with the ground but stacked on top of an arrangement of timber sleepers or the like.

If the reinforcing bars are to be stored for long duration’s they shall be coated with cement wash before stacking and/or be kept under cover or stored as directed by the Engineer.

Fabricated reinforcement shall be carefully stored to prevent damage, distortion, corrosion and deterioration.

Quality

All steel shall be of Grade I quality unless specifically permitted by the Engineer. No re-rolled material will be accepted. If requested by the Engineer the Contractor shall submit the manufacturer’s test certificates for steel. The Employer in accordance with relevant Indian Standards may perform random tests on steel. These tests shall be at the Contractor’s own cost. Steel not conforming to specification shall be rejected.

All reinforcement shall be clean, free from grease, oil, paint, dirt, loose mill scale, loose rust, dust, bituminous material or any other substances that will destroy or reduce the bond. Au bars shall be thoroughly cleaned before being fabricated. Pitted and defective bars shall not be used. All bars shall be rigidly held in position before concreting. No welding of bars to obtain continuity shall be allowed unless approved by the Engineer, If welding is approved, the work shall be carried out in accordance with IS 2751 and to the satisfaction of the Engineer. In all cases of important connections, tests shall be made to prove that the joints are of full strength of bars welded. Special precautions, as specified by the Engineer, shall be taken in the welding of cold worked reinforcing bars and bars other than mild steel. Splices in adjacent bars shall be staggered and the Engineer shall approve the location of all splices, except those specified. Bars shall not be lap.

All bars shall be accurately bent according to the sizes and shapes shown on the detailed working drawings and/or bar bending schedules. They shall. be bent gradually by machine or other approved means. Reinforcing bars shall not be straightened and re bent in a manner that will injure the material: bars containing cracks or splits shall be rejected. They shall be bent cold, except bars of over 25mm diameter, which may be bent hot if specifically, approved by

the Engineer. Bars that depend for their strength on cold working shall not be bent hot. Bars bent hot shall not be heated beyond cherry red colour (nor exceeding 845CC) and after bending shall be allowed to cool slowly without quenching. Bars incorrectly bent shall. be used only if the means used for straightening and re-bending be such as shall not, in the opinion of the Engineer, injure the material. No reinforcement shall be bent when in position in the work without the approval of the Engineer, whether or not it is partially embedded in hardened concrete. Bars having kinks or bends other than those required by the design shall not be used.

Fixing

Reinforcement shall be accurately fixed by any approved means and maintained in the correct position shown in the drawings and per the bar bending schedules by the use of blocks, spacers and chairs in accordance with IS 2502 to prevent displacement during placing and compaction of concrete. Bars intended to be in contact at crossing points shall be securely bound together at all such points with number 16 gauge annealed soft iron wire. The vertical distance required between successive layers of bars in beams or similar members shall be maintained by the provision of mild steel spacer bars at such intervals that the main bars do not sag between adjacent spacer bars. Dowels must be left straight and not bent by 90 degrees to avoid making holes in the formwork.

Unless otherwise indicated on the drawings and/or the bar bending schedules, clear concrete cover for reinforcement (exclusive of plaster or other decorative finishes) shall be as follows:

a) At each end of reinforcing bars not less than 25mm nor less than twice the diameter of the bar.

c) For longitudinal reinforcing bars in beams not less than 25mm nor less than the diameter of the bar.

d) For tensile, compressive, shear or other reinforcement in slabs or walls not less than 13mm nor less than the diameter of such reinforcement.

e) For any other reinforcement not less than 13 mm nor less than the diameter of such reinforcement

f) For footings and other principal structural members in which the concrete is deposited directly against the ground the cover to the bottom reinforcement shall be 75mm. If concrete is poured on a layer of lean concrete the bottom cover may be reduced to 50mm.

g) For concrete surfaces exposed to the weather or the ground after removal of forms, such as retaining walls, grade beams, for doing sides and top, etc., not less than 50mm for bars larger than 16mm diameter and not less than 40mm for bars 16mm diameter or smaller.

h) Increased cover thickness shall be provided, as indicated on the drawings and/or bar bending schedules, for surfaces exposed to the action of harmful chemicals (or exposed to earth contaminated by such chemical), acid, atmosphere, sulphurous smoke, etc.

i) for reinforced concrete members, totally or periodically immersed in sea water or subject to sea water spray, the cover of concrete shall be 50mm more than those specified in (a) to (e) above.

j) For liquid retaining structures, the minimum cover to all steel shall be 40mm or the diameter of the main bar, whichever is greater. In the presence of seawater and soils and waters of a corrosive character the cover shall be increased by 10mm.

k) Protection to reinforcement in case of concrete exposed to harmful surroundings may also

be given by providing a dense impermeable concrete with approved protective coatings, as specified on the drawings. In such cases the extra cover mentioned in (h) and (i) above, may be reduced by The Engineer to those, shown on the drawings and/or the bar bending schedules.

l) The correct cover shall be maintained by cement mortar cubes or other approved means. Reinforcement for footings, grade beams and slabs on sub grades shall be supported on precast concrete blocks as approved by the Engineer. The use of pebbles or stones shall not be permitted.

m) The 28 (twenty eight) day crushing strength of cement mortar cubes and/or precast concrete cover blocks shall be at least equal to the specified strength of concrete in which these cubes and/or blocks are embedded.

n) The minimum clear distance between reinforcing bars shall be in ccordance with IS 456 or as shown in the drawings and/or The bar bending schedules.

Inspection

Erected and secured reinforcement shall be inspected and approved by the Engineer prior to the pouring of concrete.

Steel Shapes Encased in ConcreteStructural steel columns, beams, girders and bracings to be encased in concrete shall be unpainted, if so indicated on the drawings. The encasing shall be done in concrete with 10mm maximum size aggregate and a cube strength of not less than 150 Kg/cm2 at 28 days unless otherwise specified in drawings. Steel members shall be wrapped with galvanized wire mesh of the size indicated on the drawings. Galvanized wire mesh shall be kept 20mm from the edge or surface of steel members and shall be held securely in position. Steel members shall have a minimum cover of 50mm unless otherwise indicated on the drawings. Where the clear cover to steel is more than 75mm, mild steel bar and concrete with 20mm coarse aggregate may be used.

Procedure for placing the concrete

Before any concrete is placed, the entire placing programme, consisting of equipment, layout proposed procedures and methods shall be submitted to Engineer for approval if so seemed be Engineer and no concrete shall be placed until Engineer’s approval has been received. Conveyor for conveying concrete shall be such size and design as to ensure a practically continuous flow of concrete during depositing without segregation of materials, considering the size of the job and placement location. Concrete shall be placed in its final position before the cement shall normally be completed in its final position within thirty minutes of leaving the mixer and once compacted it shall not be disturbed.

The top surface of each pour and bedding planes shall be approximately horizontal unless otherwise instructed. Before placing the concrete fillers must be placed in the specified position. Specified spacing between the tiles and the reinforcement adhered to the placement

of tiles can be dependent to the progress of the concreting. The concrete should be carefully placed first over the ribs (between the tiles) and only after completion of this the remaining is filled and leveled. At the time of pouring and compaction care should be taken to avoid the tilting and breaking of the tiles. No load should be applied on a leveled concrete slab before 24 hours or with permission of the Engineer.

Compaction

Concrete shall be compacted using the approved vibrating equipment until the concrete has been consolidated to the maximum practicable density, is free of pockets of coarse aggregate and embedded fixtures. Particular care shall be taken to ensure that concrete is well placed against the forms faced and into corners of forms or cavities. The use of vibrators shall be consistent with the concrete mix and caution exercised not to over vibrate the concrete to the point that segregation results. When placing concrete in layers, which are advancing horizontally as the work progresses, great care shall be exercised to ensure adequate vibration, blending and mixing of the concrete between the succeeding layers. The formation of stone pockets or mortar bondage in corner and against faces of forms shall not be permitted. Should these occur, they shall be dug, reformed and refilled to sufficient depth and shape for thorough bonding, as directed by Engineer.

Placement interval

Except when placing with slip forms each placement of concrete in multiple lift work, shall be allowed to set for at least 24 hours after the final set of concrete and before the start of a subsequent placement.Bleeding of free water, on the top of the concrete being deposited into the forms shall be caused to stop the concrete pour. The condition causing this defect should be corrected before any further concreting is done.
