5.1
Source Approval of Material for Concrete:

All sources of construction materials will be identified. Then properties of material
shall be tested / checked for acceptance criteria w.r.t Technical Spec. / relevant
Codes.
Cement:
Cement shall be procured from approved sources/manufacture. Initially MTC will be
submitted to Owner / Consultant for Source Approval. During execution process MTC
for each consignment shall be submitted to Owner/ Consultant for review Batch should
be with on 3 month.
Aggregates:
Coarse aggregates will be procured from approved sources. (Savalia)Sample of Coarse
aggregate from the quarry will be sent to external / internal Laboratory for testing and
approval Coarse aggregate shall meet the requirements of IS 383.
Fine aggregate will be procured only from approved sources. (BAHADURPUR)Sample of
fine aggregate will be sent to external / internal Laboratory for testing and approval Fine
aggregate shall meet the requirements of IS 383.
Water :
Water from bore well or nearby Terminal and/or NMC water will be used for mixing in
concrete and curing shall confirm to IS: 456:2000/Cl 5.4. Test report of water shall be
submitted to owner/consultant for source approval.
5.2 Transportation & Storage of Material:
Cement handling and storage:
Cement should be procured in bags and shall be stored in water tight, weather
tight, ground moisture tight to prevent absorption of moisture.
At all times, expose the cement as little as practicable to air because moisture in
the air causes hydration.
If cement becomes slightly lumpy during storage, its use may be permitted if
most lumps are sufficiently soft to be crushed between the thumb and fingers.
If an excessive number of lumps are encountered, the cement should be tested.

Storage facilities for bulk cement should include separate compartments for each
type of cement used.
Cement should be started in easily countable stacks with Id marks.

Sufficient space for storage, with one passage between stacks should be
arranged.
Bags of cement should be stacked on pallets or similar platforms to permit proper

circulation of air.
For storage period of less than 60 days, stack the bags no higher than 14 layers,
and for longer periods, no higher than 7 layers.
FIFO (First-in First-out) system should be strictly followed.
Aggregates handling and storage:
Stockpiling of coarse aggregates should be kept to a minimum because fines

tend to settle and accumulate.
When stockpiling is necessary, use of correct methods minimize problems with

fines, segregation, aggregate breakage, excessive variation in grading and
contamination.
Stockpiling of coarse aggregates should be under shed only to prevent from

ambient temperature in order to maintain W/c ration.
Stockpiles should be built up in horizontal or gently sloping layers, not by end

dumping.
Trucks, loaders, and dozers, or other equipment should not be operated on the
stockpiles because, in addition to breaking the aggregates, they frequently dirt onto
the piles.
Provide a concrete base with good drainage to prevent contamination from

underlying material.
Prevent overlap of the different sizes of aggregates by suitable partition walls.
Protect dry, fine aggregates from being separated by the wind by using
windbreaks wherever required.
Reinforcement:
Ensure storage area is spacious.

Ensure reinforcement is stored sufficiently above the ground to avoid physical

damage and corrosion of reinforcement.
Keep reinforcement free from mud, oil, grease etc.
Provide a loose protective cover over the reinforcement to avoid direct exposure
to aggressive weathering conditions.
Avoid long-term storage of reinforcement on site.
Clean rust using sand paper/ Write brush before placing of form work if any
5.3 Prepour Inspection:

Prior to start of concrete pre-pour inspection shall be carried out as per checklist
attached with this procedure.
Survey, alignment checks:
The coordinates, levels and alignment of the area to be concreted shall be ensured by
checking them with temporary / permanent benchmarks and levels shall be marked as
per the drawings.
Excavation and foundation checks:
Excavate until sound strata is reached as per approved drawings because soil
under footings must have the bearing capacity required.
Such sound material may be original undisturbed soil or a properly compacted

soil. All soil surfaces upon which concrete is to be placed shall be well compacted
and free from standing water, mud or debris. Any expansive soil (like black cotton
soil) shall be removed.
For Plain Cement Concrete (PCC) works:
The major requirements for PCC is that the surface on which it has to be laid
should not be waterlogged as water in the soil may affect the water-cement ratio that
in turn affects the strength of concrete.
The surface of the soil shall be free from any loose debris.
The forms also shall be checked to ensure that their integrity remains intact
during concreting.

The top level up to which concreting is be done shall be marked on the form at
various locations.
Approximately half an hour to starting of concrete, the surface to be concreted

must be made moist, so that the water in concrete is not absorbed into the soil and
shrinkages in concrete are prevented. This may be done by cleaning surface with
air-water jet, followed by an air jet to remove excess water.
Water proofing admixture of approved make should be added with the cement in
quantity not less than 2% by weight of cement.
Formwork and scaffolding checks:

Formwork is the total system of support for freshly placed concrete including the mould
which contacts the concrete as well as all supporting members, hardware and
necessary bracings.
Attention to safety is especially significant in formwork construction. The formwork must
support the concrete and construction live loads during its plastic state and until the
concrete becomes structurally self-sufficient.
The following checks shall be done.
Position of member with respect to the grids, axes and nearby structures and
shape of members.
The type of shuttering used shall satisfy the quality of concrete finish desired for
the finished structure, viz, F1, F2 or F3. Accordingly, the type of formwork used shall
vary.
The formwork and staging arrangements shall be checked with applicable
drawings.
Care shall be taken to provide adequate supporting arrangements at cantilevers

or construction joint locations (where temporary cantilevers are created).
Construction joints shall be well supported so that they remain intact during
handling and concreting.
Check whether the members are sufficiently braced to withstand vibration of
concrete, and to carry, without appreciable deflection, all dead and live loads to
which they may be subjected.
Alignment and level i.e.; verticality of the formwork. This shall be checked by first
transferring the point to the top of the form with respect to with that of the
neighbouring benchmarks on nearby benchmarks and then placing plumb bob at
various locations. Any deviations shall be made good within tolerance limits.

The levels of form shall be checked with that of the neighboring benchmarks by
water level tube / Auto level
Finishing levels of concrete shall be marked on inside face of the forms.

Check for various dimensions should be of form along with check for
perpendicularity and diagonal distances.
Accuracy of dimensions within permitted tolerance as per the contract

specifications.
The formwork assembly shall be sufficiently tight to hold concrete pressure

without leakage.
The formwork joints should be tight enough to prevent leakage of cement slurry.
Where there are any Embedments to be provided; ensure their alignment, level
and intactness with the form.
Ensure that form release agents (if required) are uniformly applied.
Check whether all forms are perfectly clean and free from any objectionable matter. The
nails shall be driven in such manner that no nails shall protrude into the concrete.
Checks for Waterstops:
One half of the waterstop shall be embedded in the concrete upto the
center bulb leaving the other half to be embedded during concreting of the
successive layer of the construction joint.
Care should be exercised while pouring concrete without misaligning the

water stop. For this, the waterstops shall be supported either by shear key or Ushaped bars.
The quality of jointing shall be checked at site by bending the water stop at
joints. A good joint shall not open / puncture in bend. Dye penetrant test may also be
done to ensure the integrity of the joint.
It shall be ensured that extra length of water stop beyond the joint is left to
facilitate ease for further jointing / Over lapping
Ties and Fixings:
Check whether adequate numbers are provided as per the design.

Ensure that the length and spacing of ties and fixings is as per requirements.
The ties and fixtures shall be adequately tight.
Reinforcement Cement Concrete works:
RCC is often laid on a PCC base. If concrete is to be placed on previously cast

concrete, the surface of existing concrete shall be made clean before the
subsequent layer of concrete is laid on it.
Application of Bonding agent (approved make) than to be carried out on existing

concrete surface prior to concreting.
Check whether the cutting and bending of the reinforcement is as per the
approved Bar Bending Schedule (BBS). The parameters to be checked are
diameter, cutting length, shape of the bars bent against the approved BBS and
availability of lap length as per the drawings and specifications. Two successive laps
shall be suitably staggered.
Before reinforcement is placed, ensure that the surface is free from any
objectionable coatings such as oil, grease, dried mud, weak or dry mortar or
corrosion.
Check whether reinforcement is embedded at a distance equal to the cover to be

provided as per drawings.
Care shall be taken to tie the cover properly to the reinforcement so that it is not
displaced during concreting operations.
The binding wire shall be tied properly to ensure that the ends of the same are
encased in the concrete.
Staggering of reinforcement is to be ensured as per approved drawings.
Batching & Mixing of Concrete:

Batching of each size of aggregates and cement shall be carried out in turn.
The aggregates and cement will be batched by means of suitable weigh batching
machines and materials will be handled in steel boxes of specified size. Convenient
system of measuring water to the concrete mixture will be installed. Weigh batcher shall
be calibrated / verified periodically (once in 15 days). Calibration / Verification
Certificate/ report of weigh batcher shall be maintained. Also calibration / verification of
weight batcher is must when shifted from one to another location.

Suitable concrete mixers (10/7) of approved type will be used for mixing concrete
materials including water. Water shall be mixed with the help of proper measuring jars.
The mixer should comply with IS - 1791 meter concrite rate shall be 0.50 to 0.55
Accuracy of Batching:
Cement + 2% of the weight of the cement in the batch.
Aggregate + 2% of the weight of aggregate in the batch.
Water + 2% of the weight of water added to the batch.
Mixing of each batch time should not less then 2 minutes and at least 40 revolutions
after all the material & water are in drum.
Transportation, Placement of Concrete:
Placement of concrete will start only after section incharge ensures that the Pre -pour
inspections are carried out. Concrete will be transported from the mixer to the formwork
as rapidly as possible by a method, which will prevent the segregation or loss of any
ingredients and maintaining the workability of concrete.
in no case shall placing of concreting be done over 1.5m height (Dorping).
Compacting of Concrete
Slabs beams and similar members shall be poured in one operation.
All fixtures shall be embedded in concrete as shown on the drawings.
Concrete will be compacted with internal vibrators of size varying diameter.
Vibrators should not be used to move concrete laterally. They should be inserted
and withdrawn vertically, so that they quickly penetrate the layer and are
withdrawn slowly to remove entrapped air.
Vibrate at close intervals (usually 450 to 700 mm depending upon the mix), for
about 10 to 15 seconds, using a systematic pattern to ensure that all concrete is
adequately consolidated. The spacing shall provide some overlapping of the area
vibrated at each insertion. The proper vibration technique is, fast insertion and
slow withdrawal. Withdraw when concrete becomes fluid.
Vibrators needle shall be kept clear of forms at least by 100 mm.
The vibrators shall be withdrawn slowly, approximately at the rate of 75mm/sec.

The vibrator shall penetrate full in the layer being placed and also penetrate the
layer below about 50 mm while the under-layer is still plastic, to ensure good
bond and homogeneity between the two layers and prevent the formation of cold
joints.
Care shall be taken to prevent contact of vibrators against the reinforcement

steel.As long as a running vibrator will sink into the concrete by means of its own
weight, it is not late for the concrete to benefit from vibration/re-vibration, which
improves compressive and bond strength.
Do not use the vibrator to cause concrete to flow from one location to another,
because such a practice usually causes segregation, with the larger coarse
aggregate remaining behind.
Re-vibration of concrete is beneficial if the concrete will respond to the vibrator

and again become plastic.
Refer figure 1 for illustration of a typical pour sequence with pre-determined

layers. In case of stoppage of concrete, due to breakdown of plant, pump etc. the
top layer of finished concrete need to be treated as a construction joint.

The surface of concrete shall be free from any defects like air holes,
honeycombs, etc.
The concrete surface finish shall be smooth without any bulging, offsets due to
shuttering joints, exposed reinforcement etc.
The concrete structure shall be checked for evidence of any distress.

The positions of inserts in concrete shall be verified to check whether they are in
line with the drawings.
If green cutting is required to be done, the finished surface of concrete shall be

checked for the presence of exposed aggregates.
The defects, if any, shall be made good at the earliest.
All the observations shall be recorded in Post Concrete Inspection Reports.

Post pour inspection is done in advance for any rectification. Also pour card
containing checklist such as grade of concrete, Reinforcement checks, availability of
equipment like mixer, Vibrator hoist etc.
Curing and protection:
