condition of exposure, will be in accordance with IS : 456-2000. However it shall not be less than 300 Kgs/m
of concrete for all grade cement.
BATCHING:
In proportioning concrete, the quantity of both cement and aggregate should be determined by mass. Cement
shall be used on the basis of mass and should be weighed separately from the aggregate. Water should be
63
either measured by volume in calibrated tanks or weighed. Any solid admixture that may be added may be
measured by mass liquid and paste admixture by volume or mass. Batching plant where used should conform
to IS: 4925 1968. All measuring equipment should be maintained in a clean serviceable condition and their
accuracy periodically checked.
Except where it can be shown to the satisfaction of Engineer that supply of properly graded aggregate of
uniform quality can be maintained over the period of work, the grading of aggregate should be controlled by
obtaining the coarse aggregate in different sizes and blending them in the right proportions hen required, the
different sizes being stocked in separate stock piles. The material should be stocked in separate stock piles.
The material should be stock piles for several hours preferably a day before use. The grading of coarse and
fine aggregate should be checked as frequently as possible, the frequency for a given job being determined
by Engineer to ensure that the specified grading is maintained.
It is important to maintain the water-cement ratio constant at its correct value. To this end, determination of
moisture contents in both fine and coarse aggregate shall be made as frequently as possible, the frequency
for a given job being determined by the Engineer in charge according to weather conditions. The amount of
the water to be added shall be adjusted to compensate for any observed variations in the moisture content in
the aggregates, IS 2386 (Part-3) 1963 may be referred to. To allow for the variation in mass of aggregate
due to variation in their moisture content, suitable adjustments in the masses of aggregates shall also be
made. In the absence of exact data only in the case nominal mixes, the amount of surface water may be
estimated from the values given in the table.
STRENGTH REQUIREMENT OF CONCRETE
At least 4 week before commencing any concreting in the work the contractor shall make trial mixes using
samples of coarse aggregates, sand, water and cement typical of those to be used in the works. A clean dry
mixer shall be used and the first batch discarded.
CONTROL OF CONCRETE:
(I)
PRELIMINARY TESTS: The contractor may be called upon to submit representative samples of
materials to be used for concrete in order that they may be tested at a recognized laboratory and the
suitability of materials established. These tests are to be carried out in accordance with IS 456-2000.
All expenses in connection with the above mentioned tests shall be borne by the contractor.
(ii)
WORKS CUBE TESTS: during the progress of the work, 15 cm. Cubes shall be made and tested in
accordance with IS: 456 2000 and IS: 516 amended up to date.
TEST SAMPLES AND ACCEPTABILITY CRITERIA:
For both preliminary testing as well as day to day works cube testing, the number of test specimens required,
the frequency of sampling and criteria for acceptance of a concrete as conforming to the specified grade shall
be in accordance with IS 456-2000, except that the minimum compressive strength for each grade or
concrete shall be as provided in the above table.
The cubes shall be made, cured, stored, transported and tested in accordance with IS 516 1959 and IS
1199-1959. The test shall be carried out in the laboratory approved by the engineer. Whenever there is a
significant change in the quantity of any of the ingredients for concrete, the engineer may at his discretion
order the carrying out of fresh preliminary trial mixes. All cost for trial mixes and tests shall be paid by the
contractor.
CONSISTENCY OF CONCRETE:
Only sufficient water shall be added to the cement and aggregate during mixing to produce a mixture of
sufficient workability to enable it to be well consolidated, to be worked into the corners of the shuttering and
around the reinforcement, to give the specified surface finish, and to have specified strength.
If difficulty be experienced in placing the concrete of specified mix and approved consistency between and
below the reinforcement bars in the bottom of beams and similar units, the bars shall be embedded in a
concrete of improved workability by increasing the proportion of cement by an approved amount and using
aggregate of approved smaller maximum size than specified for which nothing extra shall be paid.
Whenever it is not possible to concrete the full height of the columns in one operation, at least 1st, ft. depth of
the upper height of the column when concreted at a later state shall be concreted with a richer mix next higher
to the mix specified for the member. This also applied to the top part of the column to be concreted along with
the roof beam or slab. However, nothing extra shall be admissible for this and the contractor is deemed to
have taken into account the excess cost involved in complying to this at the time of quoting his/there rates for
the item.
MEASUREMENT OF CONSISTENCY:
The consistency shall be determined by making trial mixers with dried aggregates, or when so instructed by
laboratory made test cubes as herein after shall be specified. The consistency of the trial mixer of the
approved consistency shall be measured as instructed.
64
The slump of the approved trial mixture shall be measured and this slump shall not be exceeded throughout
all batches of concrete made from the same materials mixed in the same proportions as the trial mixtures and
used in those parts of the works as instructed. In no case, however, shall the slump exceed 50 mm for
concrete in slab or exceed 25 mm for concrete consolidated by mechanical vibration.
The slump test shall be made on concrete actually being placed in the works at the commencement of each
period of concrete placing and at such other times as instructed.
The apparatus used for the slump test shall be a standard cone. When the cone is filled, it shall be raised
vertically clear of the concrete and the measurement of the slump shall be 30 mm minus the height of the
slumped cone of concrete. Care shall be taken to prevent vibration of the sample being tested.
If the engineer requires the use of other means for testing the consistency of the concrete this clause must be
rewritten.

DISTRIBUTION OF CONCRETE:
The concrete shall be distributed from the mixers to the position of placing in the works by approved means
that do not cause separation or otherwise impair the quality of the concrete.
PREPARATIONS FOR PLACING CONCRETE:
Before the concrete is placed the shuttering shall be trued-up and any water accumulated therein shall be
removed. All saw dust, chips.
Nails and other debris shall be washed out or otherwise removed from within the shuttering. The
reinforcement shall then be inspected for accuracy of fixing. Immediately before placing the concrete the
shuttering shall except in frosty weather be well wetted and inspection shall be closed.
CURING AND PROTECTION OF CONCRETE:
Newly placed concrete shall be protected from rain and during hot, dry or windy weather approved coverings
shall be used to prevent premature drying out. The concrete shall also be protected from frost as hereinbefore
specified. All exposed faces of concrete shall be kept moist by approved means for fifteen days after placing
or for three days if Rapid Hardening Portland Cement be used, except when there be danger of the curing
water getting frozen. Concrete in foundations and other underground work shall be protected from admixture
with falling earth during and after placing. Concrete placed in ground containing deleterious salts shall be kept
free from contact with such waters during placing and for a period of three days thereafter. The ground water
around basements, underground tanks, and similar constructions shall be kept down to an approved level by
pumping, or the works shall be flooded or other approved means taken to prevent floatation.
Approved means shall be taken to protect immature concrete from damage by floating debris, ice and similar
material in works in water. Arrangements shall be made to restrict traffic loads and speeds in the vicinity of
bridge work for an approved period.
Slabs, stairs, and other work shall be protected from damage from workmen, equipment, over load, or any
other cause.
FINISHES:
Honeycombed surfaces shall be made good immediately upon removal of the shuttering and superficial water
and air holes shall be filled. Unless instructed to the contrary, the face of exposed concrete placed against
shuttering shall, after removal of the shuttering, be rubbed with carborandum stone with cement grout
lubricant or similar to remove fins and other irregularities. This however, is not substitution for plaster, which
may be required to be carried out for purpose of finishing.
The surface of non-shuttered faces of concrete work other than slabs shall be smoothed with a wooden float
(or if approved with a steel trowel) to give a finish equal to that of the rubbed down shuttered faces.
Concealed concrete faces shall be left as from the shuttering except that honey combed surfaces shall be
made good.
The top faces of slabs not intended to be surfaces shall be leveled and floated to a smooth finish at the levels
or falls shown on the drawings or elsewhere. The floating's shall not be executed to the extent of bringing
excess fine material to the surface.
Ribbed surface of slabs shall where instructed be formed at the time of tamping and leveling. Indentations in
slab or stair surfaces shall be formed by approved implements giving the depth and patterns instructed.
65
The top faces of slabs intended to be covered with screened granolithic or similar surfacing shall be left with a
speed finish.
The soffits of slabs and faces of walls intended to be rendered shall be roughened by approved means to
form a key.
Concrete surfaces to take finishes other than those specifically referred to herein shall be prepared in an
approved manner to suit the finish as instructed.
VIBRATION:
i) APPEARANCE: The concrete that is to be compacted by vibration should appear anything from earth dry
to slightly glistening. The mix should have the appearance of lacking in fines.
ii) PLACING: Segregation is likely to take place when the concrete is tipped into the form work and this
should be avoided.
The concrete mix should not contain surplus water and sand which will develop segregation under
influence of vibratory compaction. The distribution of new concrete should be uniform for the whole
section and the surface kept horizontal the whole time, thus ensuring that the movement of concrete is
downward only. Vibrators should not be used as a spreading or distributing agent.
iii) The vibrators shall be of rotary out of balance immersion type or the electromagnetic type and operate at
a frequency of not less than 4,000 cycles per minutes. The vibration shall be of such a power input as to
produce an accelerating of 4g to 10f/sec 2 in the mass of the compacted concrete. The vibrators shall be
designed for continuous operation.
iv) DISPOSITION OF VIBRATORS: Internal vibrators shall be disposed within the mix when placed, so as to
maintain the whole of the concrete under treatment in an adequate state of agitation such that de-aeration
and effective compaction attained at a rate commensurate with the supply of concrete from the mixers.
Insertion of the vibrators at about 45 cm center is considered sufficient.
v) PERIOD OF VIBRATION: Vibration shall continue during the whole period occupied by placing the
concrete, the vibrators being adjusted so that the center of vibration approximates to center of the mass
being compacted at the time of placing. The concrete should not be over-vibrated and the period of
insertion of internal vibrator should be about 15 second at any one point.
vi) COMPACTNESS: The concrete shall be judged to be compacted when the mortar fills the spaces
between the coarse aggregate so as to form a glistening and even surface except for slight irregularities
where the coarse aggregate breaks this smooth surface. When this condition has been attained the
vibrators shall be withdrawn slowly.
vii) The vibrator must not be placed against the steel or the shuttering, the minimum distance being 75 mm.
The compressor must be placed in such a position that shuttering, reinforcement and recently laid
concrete are subjected to the minimum amount of vibration.
The Concrete work shall be measured in length, breadth and depth as specified on drawing or as directed,
correct up to nearest centimeter content shall be worked out nearest up to two place or decimal.

be necessary elsewhere shall be formed only if and as instructed.
66
Where practicable, bars in each member shall be assembled and fixed in the form of a rigid cage or skeleton
before placing in the moulds or shuttering.
Immediately before concreting, the reinforcement shall be checked for position, cleanliness, freedom from
rust, damaging liquids. Means shall be taken to ensure that reinforcement remains correctly in position with
required cover during the placing and consolidating of the concrete.
Reinforcement projecting from work being concreted or already concreted shall not be bent out of its correct
position for any reason unless approved and shall be protected from deformation or other damage.

the reinforcement does not get displaced during deposition of concrete.
Tack welding in crossing bars shall also be permitted in lieu of binding with steel wire if approved by Engineer.
The bars shall be kept in correct position by the following methods.
a) In case of beam and slab construction precast cover blocks of the same grade of concrete about 4 X 4
cm section and of thickness equal to the specified cover shall be placed between the bars and shuttering,
so as to secure and maintain the requisite cover of concrete over reinforcement.
b) In case of cantilevered and doubly reinforced beams or slabs, the vertical distance between be horizontal
bars shall be maintained by introducing chairs, spacers or support bars of steel at 1.0 meter or at shorter
spacing to avoid sagging.
c) In case of columns and walls, the vertical bars shall be kept in position by means of timber templates with
slots accurately cut in them; or with block of the same grade of cement of required size suitably tied to the
reinforcement to ensure that they are in correct position during concreting.
d) In case of other R.C.C. structure such as arches, domes, shell, storage tanks etc. a combination of cover
blocks, spacers and templates shall be used as directed by Engineer.
