SCOPE This Specification covers classification of soil for earth work in excavation and filling for site grading work. Method of field density for soil compaction using soft rock and hard rock is also explained.
2.0 2.1
ORDINARY SOIL Soft Soil/loose Soil Generally any soil which yields to the ordinary application of pick and showl, or to phawra, rake or other ordinary digging implements such as : i) ii) iii) iv) Sand, gravel, loam, clay, mud, black cotton soil. Vegetables or organic soil, turf, peats, soft shale or loose moorum. Mud concrete below ground level. Any mixture of soil mentioned above. Hard/ Dense Soil Generally any soil which requires the close application of picks or jumpers or scarifier and rippers to loosen the same, such as : i) ii) iv) v) vi) vii) Stiff heavy clay, hard shale or compact moorum requiring grafting tool and / or pick and shovel. Shingle and river or nallah bed boulders. Soling or roads, paths, etc. and hard core. Macadam surface of any description (water bound, grouted tarmac etc.). Lime concrete, stone masonry in lime or cement mortar below ground level. Soft conglomerate when the stone can be detached from the matrix with picks and shovels. SOFT ROCK This is fissured/disintegrated rocky strata, boulders (volume less than 0.4M3 and more than 0.028 SqM ) and also which cannot be quarried excavated by using above manual

tools but can be quarried I excavated manually by using crow bars is classified as soft rock. Soft rock shall include all kinds of stiff and stratified rock as shales, thinly bedded philites, laterite hard conglomerate, lime stone, sand stone, unreinforced cement concrete below ground level. Soft rock may be queried or split with crow bar or picks and can also be excavated by rippers, dozers and other mechanical equipment but without the aid of blasting. If required, light blasting may be resorted to for loosening the materials, but this will not any way entitle the material to be classified as "Hard Rock". 4.0 4.1 HARD ROCK Hard Rock (Not Requiring Blasting) This shall include all types of hard and compact rock having closely spaced fissures or joints on account of which blasting is not considered necessary. 4.2 Hard Rock (Requiring General Blasting) This shall include all types of hard and compact rock occurring in unfissured masses or similar foundations, boulders (volume more than 0.4m3) for excavation of which blasting is considered necessary such as quartzite, granite, basalt stones, reinforced cement concrete (reinforcement to be cut through but not separated from concrete) below ground level and the like. 4.3 Hard Rock (Requiring Controlled Blasting) This type of excavation becomes necessary when excavation is done in formations mentioned in clause 4.2 in the vicinity of existing foundations I structures. Mode of blasting shall be decided by Engineer-in-charge keeping in view the sensitivity of structures. 4.4 Hard Rock (Blasting Prohibited) Hard rock requiring blasting as described in clause 4.2 above but when blasting is prohibited for any reasons and excavations has to be carried out by chiseling, splitter or any other agreed method. The use of excavation shall not be considered as a reason for classification under hard rock requiring blasting unless clearly found necessary in the opinion of Engineer-inCharge. 5.0 5.1 FILLING SOIL Ordinary soil used for filling shall meet requirements of clause 3 of Spec.No S-10-02GAIL (INDIA) LTD NEW DELHI STANDARD SPECIFICATION FOR CLASSIFICATION OF SOIL FOR EARTHWORK IN SITE GRADING DOCUMENT No. S-10-02-005 REV-0 Page 4 of 5
005 for site grading. 5.2 Use of soft rock for filling shall be determined based on compaction test of filling material. Well graded soft rock with sufficient fines should make a good filling material. This shall be tested in field for compaction and then density of compacted soils shall be determined. Test patches shall be made in field using this material and number of passes of rollers determined for each patch. A minimum of 3 test patches of 10M x 10M shall be made. Density of compaction shall be determined in each patch. A density of 1.90gmlcc or more shall be acceptable. Use of hard rock with soft rock and soil for filling shall be determined based on compaction test of rock material to be used for filling. Test patches shall be made as in case of soft rocks and number of rolls shall be determined for each test patch. Density of material in all test patches shall be found which should not be less than 2.0gmIcc. Engineer-in-charge decision with regard to suitability of such materials shall be final. METHOD OF FILLINGIFIELD DENSITY FOR SOIL COMPACTION Filling With Soft Rock/hard Rock Soil The earth for filling shall be rock soil mass available from cutting areas. Filling shall be done in loose thickness of 400mm. Voids shall be filled with smaller size material to ensure well graded and compacted fill, watering, ramming, and compacting with rollers or other suitable means as approved by Engineer-in-Charge shall be done to achieve atleast 90% maximum dry density. Stones used in fill material shall not exceed 150mm in size.

5.4 6 .0 6.1
Field Testing For Density Each layer shall be tested in field for density and accepted by the Engineer-in-Charge subject to achieving the required density before laying the next layer. In the event if it is not possible to conduct compaction test due to presence of stones, the compaction shall be determined at site by excavating a pit of size O.5m x 0.5m x0.3m (depth) in compacted area. The excavated soil shall be weighed. The pit shall be filled with water after laying a thin polythene sheet and weight of water so filled shall be determined. Alternatively sand can also be used for filling the pit for determine the density. Density of Filled Material shall be = Weight of Soil/Weight of water This shall not be less than 1.90gm/Cubic Centimetre for soft rock and 2.0 gm/Cubic Centimetre for hard rock fill area. One test/ 4 0 0 0 SqM compacted area shall be done for every layer of filling. No. of tests can be increased due to variation in quality of fill material and/or at the discretion of Engineer-in-Charge.

8.2.0 The place where concrete is to be poured should be clean and free from all loose dirt, wooden pieces, dust, standing water etc. 8.2.0 Walking on reinforcement layers is not permissible. Walkways of wooden planks or similar material can be placed with removable supports and should be independent of the reinforcement. The reinforcement position should not be disturbed nor should it sag during carriage and placement of concrete. 8.2.0 Placing and vibration should not take totally more than 20 minutes from time of mixing. Method of placing should be got approved by Engineer-in-Charge. Segregation during carriage and placement should be avoided. If during carriage concrete segregates, it should be remixed before placement. 8.2.0 Concrete should not be dropped from a height of over 1.5m. 8.2.0 To ensure bond and water tightness between old concrete surface and fresh concrete to be placed, the surface should be cleaned and roughened by "initial green cut" by wire brushing or chipping. The initial green may be done by wire brush after 6 hours of placing concrete in order to facilitate the work. Chipping can be done only after 48 hours. A layer of cement slurry with 1:l mix (1 cement: 1 sand) should be poured to obtain a uniform coating on old concrete. Immediately thereafter, the fresh concrete should be poured. 8.2.0 Concrete shall be mixed in quantities required for immediate use and shall be deposited on the sub-grade in a single operation to the required depth and width of the pavement. Spreading shall be as uniform as possible to avoid re-handling of concrete. Where however, a certain amount of redistribution is necessary, it shall be done with shovels and not with rakes. Concrete shall be vibrated with internal vibrators. Concrete shall be placed continuously until completion of the part of the work between construction joints or as directed by Engineer-in-Charge continuously until completion of the part of the work between construction joints or as directed by Engineer-in-Charge. 8.2.0 Placing in inclement weather

8.2.0 Compaction The surface of the pavement shall be compacted either by means of power driven finish machine or a vibrating hand screed. For areas where width of the pavement is very small, hand consolidation and finishing shall be done as follows: 9.4.1.1 Concrete as soon as placed, shall be struck off uniformly and screened to the crown and cross-section shown on the plans and to such level above the base that when compacted and finished, the pavement shall conform to the grade and cross-section indicated by the plans. The entire surface shall then be tamped until a close-knit dense surface is obtained. 9.4.1.2 The Tamper shall rest on the side forms and shall be drawn ahead with a swing motion in combination with a series of lifts and drops alternating with lateral shifts. The aim of this operation is compaction and screeding to the approximate level required. Subsequent tamping should advance 75 mm at a time in the direction in which the work is proceeding and in final stages, the tamping should be closer, about 12 mm at a time, until a level and dense surface is obtained. 9.4.1.3 If so directed by Engineer-in-charge, hand operated vibrating tamper consisting of normal type of hand tamper attached to a pneumatic or electric vibrating unit shall be used for compaction. 9.4.1.4 Segregated particles of coarse aggregate, which collect in front of the tamper, shall be thrown outside the forms or thoroughly mixed by hand with a mass of concrete already on the base. 9.4.1.5 Compaction by tamping shall be carried on till the mortar in the mix just works up to the surface. The surface shall be examined after compaction correction. If needed correction shall be made by adding or removing concrete, followed by further compaction and finishing.
9.4.2 Floating As soon as practicable, after concrete has been struck off and compacted, it shall be further smoothened and compacted by means of a longitudinal float, 1200 mm long and 75 mm wide, operated from a foot bridge. 9.4.3 Straight Edging After floating is completed and excess water removed but while concrete is still plastic, the slab surface shall be tested for trueness with a straight edge and rectified, if necessary.
9.4.4 Brooming After belting and as soon as surplus water has risen to the surface, the pavement shall be given a broom finish to produce corrugations of uniform appearance of not more than 1/16 inch in depth. 9.4.5 Edging Before the concrete has its initial set, the edges shall be carefully finished with an edger of the radius required and pavement edge shall be left smooth and true to line. t 9.5 Curing Curing of concrete shall be as described in EIL Specification no. 6-68-0004.
10.0 JOINTS 10.1 Wherever called for on the drawings, expansion joints, construction joints and sealing joints shall be provided as per details indicated in the drawing and as directed by Engineer-in-Charge.

In case the cube strength shows higher results than those specified for the particular grade of the concrete, it shall not be placed in the higher grade nor shall the Contractor be entitled for any extra payment on such account. The concrete giving lower strength than specified may be accepted at reduced rates after satisfying the safety of the structure by checking it with tests as specified or rejected entirely at the discretion of the Engineer-in Charge. The rejected concrete shall be dismantled at no extra cost to the owner and no payment or extension of time shall be granted for the concrete so rejected and the formwork and reinforcement used for the same. Cost of any material supplied by the Owner free of cost shall be recovered from the contractor at double the prevailing market rate. In case the concrete of lower strength can be improved by carrying out some strengthening measures entirely at the discretion of the Engineer-in-Charge, then Contractor shall carry out the said measures including all related tests at his own cost. If the Contractor is able to make up the strength to the required grade by such improvement measures to the entire satisfaction of Engineer-inCharge, payment shall be made for the grade achieved. However, if the strength of concrete is not made up to the strength of required grade, payment shall be made only for the lower strength if such concrete is accepted by the Engineer-in-Charge. 12.1.5 Deductions for openings, pockets etc. shall be as specified in relevant Indian Standard Codes. 12.2 Reinforcement 12.2.1 Payment for plain round mild steel reinforcement bars and high strength deformed steel bars shall be on the basis of weight of bare steel, irrespective of any coating applied, in metric tons.The weight of the bar shall be derived from the sizes and corresponding unit weights given in hand book of Bureau of Indian Standards.

EARTHWORK IN EXCAVATION, BACKFILLING AND TRANSPORTATION

All earthwork involved in laying of RCC pipes and related works is deemed to have been included in the quoted rates for the laying of RCC pipes. All earthwork shall be carried out as per specification No.6-65-0006 "Earthwork for underground piping system". The bed of trench if in soft 'or' made up earth shall be well watered and rammed before laying the pipes and the depressions, if any shall be properly filled with earth and consolidated in 20 cm layers. If the trench bottom is extremly hard 'or' rockey or loose stoney soil, the trench shall be excavated at least 150 mm below the trench grade. Rocks, stone 'or' other hard substances from the bottom of the trench shall be removed and the trench brought back to the required grade, by filling with selected fine earth 'or' sand (in fine murrum if fine sand 'or' soil is not available ) and compacted so as to provide a smooth bedding for the pipe. Where excavation requires blasting operations, it shall be ensured that no pipes are stacked in vicinity and complete pipe lines in the vicinity have already been covered before starting of blasting operation.
3.5
The trench shall be kept free from water. Shoring and strutting / timbering shall be done wherever required. Excavation below water table shall be done after dewatering the trenches. After excavation of the trench is completed, hollows shall be cut at the required position to receive the socket of the pipes and these hollows shall be of sufficient depth to ensure that the barrels of the pipes shall rest throughout their entire length on the solid ground and that sufficient spaces left for jointing the underside of the pipe joint. These hollows shall be refilled with sand after jointing the pipe.

4.2
Before lowering, the pipes shall be inspected carefully. Broken or cracked pipe shall be rejected. The inside of the pipe shall be cleaned off from sand, earth or any other matter. The pipe shall be lowered carefully so as not to disturb the bed and sides of the trench. Heavy pipes shall be lowered with chain pulley blocks or crane.
Pipes shall be set according to line and grade. Prior to making joints all surface shall be thoroughly cleaned and prepared as required for the type of joint to be made. Pipe shall be carefully centered so that the completed sewer will have a smooth uniform invert. In socket & spigot pipes the socket end shall face the upstream direction. In case of RCC pipes with collar joints, the collar shall be slipped on before the next pipe is laid. Railway authorities or other appropriate authorities shall be consulted wherever the pipeline crosses a railway line, canal, etc. Connection to existing sewer shall be done through a manhole generally. The ends of the pipe line shall be kept sealed to prevent entry of any foreign materials. The seals will be broken before/after the testing is done. Wherever the joining material is cement, six or more lengths of pipe shall be laid in advance of each joint before it is finished. In cases where the natural foundation is inadequate the pipes shall be laid either in concrete craddle supported an proper foundations 'or' any other suitably designed structure. If a concrete cradle bedding is used the depth of concrete below the bottom of pipe shall be atleast 1/4th of the internal dia of the pipe subject to the min. of l0cm and a maximum of 30 cm, the concrete shall extend upto the sides of the pipe atleast to a distance of 114 of the outside diameter of pipes 300mm and above in dia. The pipes shall be laid in this concrete bedding before the concrete has set. Pipeslaid in trenches in earth shall be bedded evenly and firmly and as far as up the haunches of the pipes so to safety transmit the load expected from the backfill through the pipe to the bed. This shall be done either by excavating the bottom of the trench to fit the curve of the pipe or by compacting the earth under and around the curve of the pipe from an even bed. Necessary provision shall be made for joints wherever required.

TESTING
The pipeline shall be tested for water tightness of joints. The test shall be carried out from manhole. Pipe ends shall be closed and filled with water so that water level is up to the top of the manholes. The line shall be kept full for 24 hours. Observations shall be taken after one hour interval and if leakage is within 2.5 liters/km/hrs/cm of dia of pipeline, it shall be deemed to have passed the test.. Engineer-in-Charge may at his own discretion ask the subcontractor to test the laid pipe line in sections, in which case the subcontractor will do the same as per the procedure to be decided by the Engineer-in-Charge without any extra cost to Owner. The procedure adopted in such cases, however, will be to test the pipeline according to the criteria mentioned in 6.2 above. In case joints are found to leak, they shall be repaired or redone and test shall be repeated until the joints are approved by Engineer-in-Charge. After completion of the test all temporary seals will be removed, the test water shall be drained out/pumped out and the line cleaned properly. Before commissioning the cleanliness of the pipeline will be checked by :-

6.6.1 Torch & Mirror Test

In this method of testing, a torch will be held at one end of the pipeline inside a manhole and its image through the pipeline will be reflected and seen on a mirror held at the opposite end of the pipeline, inside the next manhole. Any obstruction/debris/major misalignment will not give a clear image in which case the pipeline will again be cleaned/rectified and the test redone.
6.6.2 Ring Test

In this method of testing, two steel wooden rings of suitable thickness and design shall be fixed facing each other at a distance of 2 feet or more. The block of rings shall be inserted from one end of the pipeline, inside manhole and pulled by a rope fixed to the block from the other end of the pipeline inside the next manhole. The rings shall be of dia. 2" less than the inside dia of pipe under testing. The rope used for pulling the ring block may be inserted in the pipeline by the subcontractor either during construction or afterwards by

The Contractor shall be responsible for any accident to workmen: public or property, due to blasting operations. 5.16.2 Precautions
Blasting operations shall be carried out under the careful supervision of a responsible authorized and licensed blaster of the Contractor (referred subsequently as "blaster" only) during specified hours, as approved in writing by the Engineer-in-Charge. The blaster shall be fully conversant with the rules of blasting.
(INDIA) LTD NEW DELHI TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION CIVIL & STRUCTURAL WORKS EARTHWORK DOCUMENT No. S-11-02-003 REV-0 Page 6 of 13
Proper precautions for safety of persons shall be taken. Red flags shall be prominently displayed around the area to be blasted and all the people on the work except those who actually light the fuses, shall withdraw to a safe distance of not less than 200 metres from the blast. Precautions as per Explosive Rules 1983 with amendment shall be followed. 5.16.3 Fuses All fuses shall be cut to the lengths required before being inserted into the holes. Joints in fuses shall be avoided. Where these are unavoidable: a semicircular niche shall be cut in one piece of fuse about 2 cm. deep from the end and the end of other piece inserted into this niche, and the two pieces then wrapped together with a string. All joints exposed to dampness shall be wrapped with rubber tape. Fuse and detonators shall be kept separated from the explosives. 5.16.4 Blasting with Gun Powder Blasting shall normally be done with gun powder. Dynamite, gelatine or any other high explosive shall only be used in special cases with the written permission of the Engineer-in-Charge. In case of blasting with gun powder, the position of all bore holes to be drilled shall be marked out in circles with white paint. The bore holes shall be jumped or drilled in the rock face. The depth of bore hole shall be about the same as that of the line of least resistance and its size shall be such that the cartridges can easily pass down to the bottom. The bore holes must be dried before being charged and these shall be inspected by the Contractor's agent. Gun powder may be used in the form of pellet blasting cartridges or as powder or granules. Cartridges are provided with tapered central hole. One end of fuse is passed through the narrow end of the hole and a sufficient length of the fuse is doubled back so that when the fuse is pulled, it is held tight in the tapered hole of the cartridge. Other cartridges are then inserted in the fuse to make up the required charge. The cartridge along with the fuse is lowered down in the bore hole, placed in position and gently filled and pressed home with dry hay or turf. The rest of the bore shall then be filled with dry clay, which shall be tamped with copper or brass rod until it becomes compact. Care shall be taken to avoid any possibility of an air space around the fuse. The safety fuses shall be taken to the required distance so as to allow the blasting to take place after the person lighting the fuse has withdrawn to a safe distance. Where gun powder is used in the form of powder or granules it shall be introduced in the bore hole by means of funnel or copper tube. The bore holes shall be loaded with
two thirds of the quantity of charge required. and safety fuse then directly introduced over the charge. Remaining one third charge shall then be introduced, and gently filled and pressed home with dry hay or turf. The rest of the bore hole shall be filled with dry clay in the same way as for cartridges, and the safety fuse taken to the required distance. The charges shall be fired by igniting the fuse. The number of charges to be fired and the actual number of shots heard, shall be compared, and the Contractor's blaster shall satisfy himself by examination that all the charges have exploded: before workmen are permitted to approach the site. The charge which has not exploded, shall not be permitted to be withdrawn. The tamping and charge shall be flooded with water and the holes marked with a red cross (X) over it. Another hole shall be jumped at a distance of about 45 cm from the old hole and fired in the usual way. This operation shall be continued. till the original and any subsequent unfired charges are exploded. 5.16.5 Blasting with Dynamite or any other High Explosive In case of blasting with dynamite or any other high explosive the position of all bore holes to be drilled shall be marked out in circle with white paint. These shall be inspected by the Contractor's blaster. Bore holes shall be of a size that the cartridge can easily pass down. After the drilling operation, the blaster shall reinspect the holes to see that the holes marked out by him have been drilled. He shall then prepare all charges necessary for the bore holes. The bore holes shall be thoroughly cleaned before a cartridge is inserted. Wooden tamping rods (not pointed but cylindrical throughout) shall be used, in charging holes. Metal rods shall never be used for tamping. One cartridge shall be first placed in the bore hole. gently pressed and not rammed down. Other cartridges shall then be added as may be required to make up the necessary charge for the bore hole. The top most cartridge shall be connected to the detonator which shall in turn be connected to the safety fuse of required length. The maximum of eight bore holes shall be loaded and fired on each occasion. The charges shall be fired successively and not simultaneously. Immediately before firing a blast, due warning shall be given and the blaster shall see that all persons have retired to a place of safety. The safety fuses of the charged holes shall be ignited in the presence of the blaster, who shall see that all the fuses are properly ignited. Careful count shall be kept by him and others of each blast as it explodes. After the blast the blaster shall inspect the work and ascertain that all the charged holes have been exploded. In case of misfired holes, he shall inspect the same after half an hour and mark red crosses (X) over the holes. During this interval of half an hour, no body shall approach the misfired holes. None of the drillers shall work near such holes, until one of the two following operations has been done by the blaster.
a)
Either the Contractor's blaster shall very carefully (when the tamping is of damp clay) extract the tamping with a wooden scraper and withdraw the fuse, primer and detonator, after which a fresh detonator, primer and fuse shall be placed in the misfired holes and fired. OR
b)
The hole shall be cleaned for 30 cm of tamping and its direction ascertained by placing a stick in the hole. Another hole shall then be drilled 15 cm away and parallel to it. This hole shall be charged and fired. The misfired hole should also explode along with the new one. Before leaving the work, the blaster of one shift shall inform another blaster relieving him for the next shift. of any cases of misfire, and shall point out their positions denoted by red crosses and also state the action; if any, to be taken in the matter. The Engineer-in-Charge shall also be informed by the blaster of all cases of misfire, their causes and steps taken in that connection.
5.16.6 Controlled Blasting Whenever required by the Engineer-in-Charge, rock blasting shall be carefully controlled so that vibrations generated during the blasting do not cause damage to the buildings and installation around. Similarly, the rock pieces should not fly off and endanger the buildings and installations around. Apart from the general precautions mentioned in the preceding paragraphs, following protective measures and limits for use of explosive are suggested as guidelines. Tenderers are requested to carefully check the site conditions and submit details of the scheme they propose to adopt for controlling the blast. Following protective measures shall be adopted while carrying out blasting operations The hole shall be covered with mild steel plate of minimum 12mm thickness. Reinforcement rod mesh not less than 20mm dia. at 150mm centre in both directions shall be placed over the steel plates. Steel plate and reinforcement shall be inspected after every blasting operation and all twists shall be removed before reuse to the satisfaction of the Engineer-in- Charge. Sand filled bags of 6 to 8 layers shall be placed over the mesh suitably covering the whole region under blasting operation.
The thickness of covering plate and the kind of dead weight is to be duly approved by the Engineer-in-Charge . 5.16.7 Hard rock requiring blasting as described under cl.no. 2.3 above, but where blasting is prohibited for any reason(s) breaking up of rock can be done by using Hydraulic Splitter and chemical substances of approved manufacturer (Lifton or equivalent) mixed in an appropriate proportion. The method involves drilling holes into rock and then inserting/injecting hydraulic splitter/chemical solvents into the holes. The breaking-up of rock takes place in a controlled fashion without much noise and spark. 5.17 Payment 5.17.1 Payment for earth work in excavation shall be made on cubic meter (m3) basis on the measurement of volume of pit/trench of excavation with working space as per relevant Indian Standards (IS: 1200) and slopes/steppings as permitted by the Engineer-inCharge.

Note for Table - 1 : The characteristic strength is defined as the strength of material below which not more than five (5) percent of the test results are expected to fall. 3.1 Plain and reinforced cement concrete work shall confirm to Indian Standard for plain and concrete- Code of practice fourth revision IS 456:2000. 4.0 4.1 TYPE OF CONCRETE MIX Unless otherwise noted on drawings, all lean/plain and reinforced concrete shall be of M20 grade suitable for sever exposure condition and Reinforcement Cement Concrete shall be of grade M30 suitable for sever exposure condition confirming to IS 456:2000. Nominal Mix Concrete This concrete shall be made (without preliminary tests) by adopting nominal concrete mix with proportions of materials as specified in Table-1A. TABLE - 1A PROPORTIONS FOR NQ Nominal mix of concrete (by mass) 1:5:10 1:3:6 M 15 (1:2:4) M 20 (1:1 : 3) Quantity of water per 50 kg of cement(Max) Litres 60 34 32 34

Note: 1. The proportions of the fine to coarse aggregates should be adjusted from upper limit to lower limit progressively as the grading of the fine aggregates becomes finer and the maximum size of coarse aggregates becomes
1arger.Graded coarse aggregates shall be used. 2. The cement content of the mix shall be proportionately increased if the quantity of water in a mix has to be increased to overcome the difficulties of placement and compaction, so that the water-cement ratio, as specified, is not exceeded.
4.3
Design Mix Concrete The mix shall be designed to produce the grade of concrete having the required workability and characteristic strength not less than appropriate values given in Table-1. The target mean strength of concrete mix shall be equal to the characteristic strength plus 1.65 times the standard deviation. As long as the quality of materials does not change, a mix design done earliel; may be considered adequate for later work. However, in case the quality of materials change or there is a break in the continuity of construction and the same work is allocated to a new contractor, the Engineer-in-Charge shall ask for a new design mix. Irrespective of the grade of concrete required to be produced as per characteristic strength criteria, the minimum cement content and maximum free water cement ratio in the design concrete shall be strictly maintained as stipulated in Table 2A for the corresponding grade of concrete.
5.0
CONCRETE MIX PROPORTIONING Proportioning, as used in this specification, shall mean the process of determining the proportions of the various ingredients to be used to produce concrete of the required workability when freshlgreen and strength, durability and surface finish, when hardened.The following information shall be collected prior to design of the concrete mix : a) Grade designation. b) Type of cement. c) Maximum nominal size of aggregate. d) Minimum cement content. e) Maximum free water cement ratio f) Workability requirements.
The Engineer-in-Charge shall verify the strength of the concrete mix, before giving his sanction of its use. However, this does not absolve the Contractor of his responsibility as regards achieving the prescribed strength of the mix. If during the execution of the work, cube tests show lower strengths than required, the Engineer-in-Charge shall order fresh trial mixes to be made by the Contractor. No claim to alter the rates of concrete work shall be entertained due to such changes in mix variations. Any variation in cement consumption shall be taken into consideration for material reconciliation. Preliminary mix designs shall be established well ahead of start of work. 5.1 Maximum Density Suitable proportions of sand and the different sizes of coarse aggregates for each grade of concrete shall be selected to give as nearly as practicable the maximum density. This shall be determined by mathematical means, laboratory tests, field trials and suitable changes in aggregate gradation. The contractor shall submit to the Engineer-in-Charge at least three sets of mix design and corresponding test results after varying the mix proportions and 1 or grading of aggregate so as to establish the maximum density of any particular grade of concrete. 5.2 Free Water Cement Ratio Once a mix, including its free water cement ratio, has been determined and approved for use by the Engineer-in- Charge, that free water cement ratio shall be maintained. The Contractor shall determine the water content of the aggregates frequently as the work progresses, and the amount of mixing water shall be adjusted so as to maintain the approved free water cement ratio. 5.3 Consistency The concrete shall have a consistency such that it shall be workable in the required position and when properly vibrated it flows around reinforcing steel, all embedded fixtures, etc. 5.4 Workability
5.4.1 The concrete mix proportion shall be such that the concrete is of adequate workability for the placing condition and can be properly compacted with the means available. Use of additives of approved make shall be taken recourse to where required for attaining proper workability as specified under cl. 5.4.2.

Generally, the following types of cement shall be used for Plain and Reinforced concrete works: a) 33 Grade Ordinary Portland Cement conforming to IS: 269. b) 43 Grade Ordinary Portland Cement conforming to IS: 8112. c) Portland Slag Cement conforming to IS:455. d) Portland Pozzolana Cement conforming to IS: 1489. e) Sulphate Resisting Portland Cement conforming to IS: 12330 Sulphate Resisting Portland Cement shall be used only for specific requirements depending on environmental and process exposure conditions to which the structures may be subjected to like high sulphate concentrations, processes involving sulphur handling etc. The minimum cement content as mentioned in Table-2A shall be adjusted for aggregates other than 20mm nominal maximum size. The minimum cement content in the concrete mix shall be increased by 40kg/m3 and decreased by 30 kg/m3 for lOmm and 40mm nominal maximum size aggregates respectively.
5.6 Limits to Deleterious Constituents
Careful selection of the mix and the constituent materials shall be made to limit the presence of deleterious constituents in concrete. The total acid soluble chloride content calculated from the mix proportion and the measured chloride content of each of the constituents shall not exceed 0.6 kg/m3 at the time of placing of concrete. The total water soluble sulphate content of the concrete mix shall not exceed 4 percent by mass of the cement in the mix. 6.0 6.1 In proportioning concrete, the quantity of both cement and aggregate shall be determined by mass.Where the mass of cement is determined on the basis of mass of cement per bag, a reasonable number of bags shall be weighed periodically to check the net mass.Where the cement is weighed at site and not in bags, it shall be weighed
BATCHING
separately from the aggregates.Water shall be either measured by volume in calibrated tanks or weighed.Any solid admixtures that are to be added, shall be measured by mass; liquid and paste admixtures shall be measured by volume or mass. Batching plant, shall conform to IS:4925. All measuring equipment shall be maintained in a clean serviceable condition, and their accuracy shall be within +2% and t3%for measurement of cement and aggregates/water/admixtures, respectively. 6.2 Except where it can be shown to the satisfaction of the Engineer-in-Charge that supply of properly graded aggregate of uniform quality can be maintained over the period of work, the grading of aggregate shall be controlled by obtaining the coarse aggregate in different sizes and blending them in the right proportions when required, different sizes being stacked in separate stock piles. The grading of coarse and fine aggregates shall be checked frequently, the frequency for a given job being determined by the Engineerin-Charge to ensure that the approved grading is maintained. Under very special circumstances change from weigh batching to appropriate volume batching may be permitted by Engineer-in-Charge. However, in such cases all conversions from mass of ingredients to volume shall be based on actual and appropriate bulk densities physically measured at site and approved by the Engineer-inCharge. The amount of added water shall be adjusted to compensate for any observed variations in the moisture contents in both fine and coarse aggregates. For the determination of moisture content in the aggregates, IS:2386 (Part-3) may be referred to. To allow for the variation in mass of aggregates due to variation in their moisture content, suitable adjustments in the mass of aggregate shall also be made. In the absence of exact data, only in the case of nominal mixes, the amount of surface water may be estimated from the values given in Table-3.

No substitutions in materials used on the work or alterations in the established proportions, except as permitted in 6.4 shall be made without additional tests to show that the quality and strength of concrete are satisfactory. In case the Contractor proposes any change in the already approved mix design, fresh mix design with supportive laboratory tests shall be submitted to the Engineer-in-Charge and his approval has to be obtained prior to using the revised mix proportion in the works. However, such proposals for revision shall only be entertained in case of successive failure of test cubes to achieve the required strength. CONCRETE MIXING Approximate quantity of surface water The mixing of concrete shall be strictly carried out in an approved type of mechanical concrete mixer. The mixer shall be fitted with water measuring devices. The mixing shall be continued until there is a uniform distribution of the material and the mass is uniform in colour and onsistency. If there is segregation after unloading from the mixer, the concrete shall be remixed. Percent bv mass Use of Ready Mixed Concrete supplied by Ready Mixed Concrete Plants or from onloff-site batching plants (IS:4926) shall be prefered for structural concrete.

TRANSPORTATION, PLACING AND COMPACTION
8.1 General The entire concrete placing programme including transportation arrangements, deployment of equipment, layout, proposed procedures and methods, shall be submitted to the Engineer-in-Charge 24 hours prior to concreting for approval. No concreting shall be placed until his approval has been received. Approval of the Engineer-in-Charge for pouring concrete shall be taken as 'conveyed', when the concrete pour card is signed by him. 8.1.1 Chuting The use of long troughs, chutes and pipes for conveying concrete from the mixer to the forms shall be permitted only on written authorization from the Engineer-in-Charge. In case an inferior quality of concrete is produced by the use of such conveyors, the Engineer-in-Charge may order discontinuance of their use and the substitution of a satisfactory method of placing the concrete. Open troughs and chutes shall be equipped
with baffles and be in short lengths to avoid segregation. Chutes shall be designed so that the concrete is, to some extent, remixed at the lbwer end by passing down through a funnel shaped pipe or drop chute. Alternatively, they shall discharge into a storage hopper from which the concrete shall be transported to the point of placing by wheel barrows or other means. Where drop chutes are used, a sufficient number of these must be provided, so that the concrete discharged from the chute is not required to flow laterally more than 1.0 metre. Where a drop chute is swung from the vertical, the bottom two sections must be maintained in a vertical position to avoid segregation. The addition of water at any point in the system of tran~portation~to facilitate the movement of concrete shall not be permitted. All chutes, troughs and pipes, shall be kept clean and free from coatings of hardened concrete by thoroughly flushing them with water after each run; water used for flushing shall be discharged clear of the structure. Concrete shall not be normally permitted to fall freely from a height of more than 1.5 metre nor to strike the forms at an angle. However, a deviation from this normal practice may be allowed provided proper precaution is taken, while placing concrete into the forms to avoid segregation, to the satisfaction of the Engineer-in-Charge. 8.1.2 Vibrators
8.1.2.1Concrete shall be compacted with mechanical vibrating equipment supplemented, if necessary to obtain consolidation, by hand spreading, rodding and tamping. The vibrators shall be of immersion type with operational frequency ranging between 8,000 to 12,000 vibrations per minute. All vibrators shall comply with IS:2505. Screed board concrete vibrators or concreting vibrating tables or form vibrators conforming to IS:2506,2514 and 4656, respectively, shall be used where specifically required and directed by Engineer-in-Charge. . 8.1.2.2 Immersion type vibrators shall be inserted in a vertical position at intervals of about 600mn-1, depending upon the mix, the equipment used, and experience on work. The vibrators shall be withdrawn slowly. The spacing shall provide some overlapping of the area vibrated at each insertion. In no case shall vibrators be used to transport concrete inside the forms. Over vibration or under vibration shall not be permitted as both are harmful. Hand tamping in some cases may be allowed subject to the approval of the Engineer-in-Charge. 8.1.2.3 In placing concrete in layers which are advancing horizontally as the work progresses, great care shall be exercised to ensure adequate vibration, bonding and moulding of the concrete between the succeeding batches. 8.1.2.4 The vibrator shall penetrate the layer being placed and also penetrate the layer below while the under layer is still plastic to ensure good bond and homogeneity between the two layers and prevent the formation of cold joints
. 8.1.2.5 Care shall be taken to prevent contact of vibrators against all embedded reinforcing steelor inserts.Vibrators shall not be allowed to come in contact with forms. 8.1.2.6 The use of form vibrators shall not be permitted for compaction of in-situ concrete without specific authorization of the Engineer-in-Charge. 8.1.2.7 The use of surface vibrators of screed board type shall not be permitted for consolidation of concrete under ordinary conditions. However,for thin slabs (of thickness less than 200mm) surface vibration by such vibrators may be permitted, upon approval of the Engineer-in-Charge. 8.1.2.8 Whenever vibration has to be applied externally, the design of formwork and the disposition of vibrators shall be carefully planned to ensure efficient compaction and to avoid surface blemishes. 8.2 Transportation
8.2.1 All concrete shall be conveyed from the mixer to the place of final deposit such as formwork as rapidly as possible using suitable buckets, dumpers, pumps, transit mixers containers or conveyors which shall be mortar leak tight.Care shall be taken to prevent the segregation or loss of the ingredients and maintaining the required workability .For structural concrete produced from Ready Mixed Concrete Plants as per cl. 7.1, concrete shall be transported from the plants to the sites only by transit mixers. 8.2.2 During hot or cold weather, concrete shall be transported in deep containers.Other suitable methods to reduce the loss of water by evaporation in hot weatherand heat loss in cold weather may also be adopted.Al1 equipment used for transporting and placing of concrete shall be maintained in clean condition.Al1 buckets, hoppers, chutes, dumpers and other equipment shall be thoroughly cleaned after each use. 8.3 Placing and Compaction
8.3.1 Before placing concrete, all soil surfaces upon which or against which concrete is to be placed shall be well compacted and free from standing water, mud or debris. Soft or yielding soil shall be removed and replaced, with lean concrete or with selected soils/sand and compacted to the density as directed by Engineer-in-Charge. The surface of absorptive soil (against which concrete is to be placed) shall be moistened thoroughly so that moisture is not drawn from the freshly placed concrete. Similarly, for concrete to be placed on formworks, all chippings, shavings and sawdust etc. shall be removed from the interior of the forms before the concrete is placed. 8.3.2 Concrete shall not be placed until the formwork, the placement of reinforcing steel, embedded parts, pockets etc. have been inspected and approved by the Engineer- in(INDIA) LTD NEW DELHI STATNDARD SPECIFICATION PLAIN & RCC WORK DOCUMENT No. S-11-02-004 REV-0 Page 14 of 42

Any accumulated water on the surface of the bedding layer shall be removed by suitable means before start of placement.No concrete shall be placed on a water covered surface. 8.3.3 Concrete shall be discharged by vertical drop only and the drop height shall not normally exceed 1.5 metre throughout all stages of delivery until the concrete comes to rest in forms. For continuous concreting operation windows of suitable size shall be kept in the formwork or chutes shall be used to avoid segregation of concrete. 8.3.4 Concrete shall be deposited as near as practicable in its final position to avoid rehandling. Concrete shall be placed in successive horizontal 1ayers.The bucket loads, or other units of deposit, shall be placed progressively along the face of the layer with such over-lap as will facilitate spreading the layer of uniform depth and texture with a minimum of hand shovelling. Any tendency to segregation shall be corrected by shovelling coarse aggregates into mortar rather than mortar on the coarse aggregates. Such a tendency for segregation shall be corrected by redesign of mix, change in process or other means, as directed by the Engineer-in-Charge. 8.3.5 All struts, stays and braces (serving temporarily to hold the forms in correct shape and alignment pending the placing of concrete at their locations) shall be removed when the concrete placing has reached an elevation rendering their service unnecessary.These shall not be buried in the concrete.Concrete shall be thoroughly compacted with vibrators and fully worked around the reinforcement, embedded fixtures and into corners of formwork before setting commences and shall not be subsequently disturbed.Methods of placing shall be such as to preclude segregation and avoid displacement of reinforcement or formwork. The formation of stone-pockets or mortar bondage in corners and against face forms shall not be permittedShould these occur, they shall be dug out, reformed and refiIled to sufficient depth and shape for thorough bonding as directed by the Engineer-in-Charge.Care shall be taken to avoid displacement of reinforcement and embedded inserts or movement of formwork. 8.3.6 Unless otherwise approved, concrete shall be placed in single operation to the full thickness of foundation rafts,slabs, beams and similar members. Concrete shall be placed continuously until completion of the part of the work between approved construction joints or as directed by the Engineer-in-Charge. 8.3.7 The method of placing and compaction employed in any particular section of the work shall be to the entire satisfaction of the Engineer-in-Charge. 8.3.8 During hot weather (atmospheric temperature above 40 degree Celsius) or cold weather (atmospheric temperature less than 5 degree Celcius, the concreting shall be done as per the procedure set out in IS:7861. 8.3.9 Concrete that has set standing and becomes stiffened shall not be used in the work.
8.4
Items Embedded in Concrete
8.4.1 Concreting shall not be started unless the electrical conduits, pipes, fixtures etc., wherever required ,are laid by the concerned agency. The Contractor shall afford all the facilities and maintain co-ordination of work with other agencies engaged in electrical and such other works as directed by the Engineer-in-Charge. 8.4.2 Before concreting the Contractor shall provide, fabricate and lay in proper position all metal inserts, anchor bolts, pipes etc. (which are required to be embedded in concrete members) as per relevant drawings and directions of Engineer-in-Charge. 8.4.3 All embedment, inserts etc. shall be fully held and secured in their respective positions by the concerned agencies to the entire satisfaction of Engineer-in-Charge so as to avoid any dislocation or displacement during the concreting operations. The Contractor shall take all possible care during concreting to maintain these embedmenthnserts in their exact locations. 9.0 9.1 CONSTRUCTION JOINTS Construction joints shall be provided in position as shown or described on the drawings or as directed by the Engineer-in-Charge. Such joints shall be kept to the minimum. These shall be straight and at right angles to the direction of main reinforcement and shall be placed at accessible locations to permit cleaning out of laitance, cement slurry and unsound concrete.
9.2.1 In a colurnn,the joint shall be formed about lOO mrn to 150mrn below the lowest soffit of the beams framing into it. Concrete in a beam and slab shall be placed throughout without a joint but if the provision of a joint is unavoidable, the joint shall be vertical and located within 113 to 114 of the span,unless otherwise shown on the drawings. 9.3 When stopping the concrete on a vertical plane in slabs and beams, an approved stop board shall be placed with necessary slots for reinforcement bars. The construction joints shall be keyed by providing a triangular or trapezoidal fillet nailed on the stop board. Inclined joints shall not be permitted. Any concrete flowing through the joints of stop board shall be removed soon after the initial set. When concrete is stopped on a horizontal the surface shall be roughened and cleaned after the initial set and a triangular or trapezoidal groove shall be provided for keying with the new concrete later. When the work has to be resumed on a surface which has hardened,such surface shall be cleared of any foreign materials and roughened to expose the tips of the coarse
9.4
aggregate. This may be done by manual chipping of concrete, with a high pressure water jet or by any other appropriate means as per Engineer-in-Charge's directions. It shall then be swept clean and thoroughly washed and wetted before any new concrete is poured. Any set mortar or concrete sticking to the exposed reinforcing rods in and around such joints shall be thoroughly removed. The reinforcements shall be wire brushed and washed just before pouring any cement slurry or mortar. For vertical joints neat cement slurry shall be applied on the surface before it is dry. For horizontal joints the surface shall be covered with a layer of mortar about 10 to 15mm thick composed of cement and sand in the same ratio as the cement and sand in concrete mix. This layer of cement slurry or mortar shall be freshly mixed and applied immediately before placing new concrete. 9.5 Where the concrete has not fully hardened,all laitance shall be removed by scrubbing the wet surface with wire or bristle brushes, care being taken to avoid dislodgement of particles of aggregate. The surface shall be thoroughly wetted and all free water removed. The s urface shall then be coated with neat cement slurry. On this surface layer of concrete not exceeding 150mm in thickness shall first be placed and shall be well rammed against old work, particular attention being paid to corners and close spots; work thereafter shall proceed in normal way.
10.0 SEPARATION JOINT 10.1 Separation joint shall be obtained by using an approved alkathene sheet stuck on the surface against which concrete shall be placed. Adequate care shall be taken to cause no damage to the sheet. 11.0 EXPANSION JOINTS/ISOLATION JOINT 11.1 Expansion/ Isolation joints in structures shall be formed in the positions and to the shapes shown in the relevant drawings. Joints shall be filled with joint filling material as stipulated in the drawing/schedule of rates. Isolation joints shall be provided around all equipment foundations, columns, pedestals, trenches etc. on grade.
12.0 WATER STOPS PVC water stops as per GAIL Specification No. 6-68-0002 for materials shall be accurately cut, fitted and integrally joined as per manufacturer's specifications to provide a continuous, watertight diaphragm at all points. The water stops shall be located and embedded at expansion/contraction/ construction joints as indicated in the drawings or directed by the Engineer-in-Charge. Adequate provision shall be made for the support and protection of water stops during the progress of the work.Damaged water stops shall be replaced and/or repaired as directed.
REV-0 Page 17 of 42
13.0 PROTECTION OF FRESHLY LAID CONCRETE 13.1.1 Newly placed concrete shall be protected, by approved means, from rain, sun and wind. Concrete placed below the ground level shall be protected from falling earth during and after placing. Surface shall be kept free from contact with such ground or with water draining from such ground during placing of concrete for a period of at least 3 days, unless otherwise directed by the Engineer-in-Charge. The ground water around newly poured concrete shall be kept to an approved level by pumping or other approved means of drainage and adequate steps shall be taken to prevent floatation and flooding. Steps shall be taken to protect immature concrete from damage by debris, loading, vibration, abrasion, mixing with deleterious materials, that may, in the opinion of the Engineer-in-Charge, impair the strength and/or durability of the concrete. 14.0 CURING Concrete shall be cured by keeping it continuously moist wet for the specified period of ime to ensure complete hydration of cement and its hardening. Curing shall be started after 8 hours of placement of concrete in normal weather, and in hot weather after 4 hours. The water used for curing shall be of the same quality as that used for making of concrete. Curing shall be assured by use of an ample water supply under pressure in pipes, with all necessary appliances such as hose, sprinklers etc. A layer of sacking, canvas, hessian, or other approved materia1,which will hold moisture for long periods and prevent loss of moisture from the concrete,shall be used as covering. Type of covering which would stain, disfigure or damage the concrete, during and after the curing period,shall not be used. Only approved covering shall be used for curing. Exposed surfaces of concrete shall be maintained continuously in a damp or wet condition for at least the first 7 days after placing of concrete. The Contractor shall have all equipment and materials required for curing on hand and ready to use before concrete is placed. For curing the concrete in pavements, floors, flat roofs or other level surfaces, the ponding method of curing shall be used. For the first 24 hours after concreting the concrete shall be cured by use of wet sacking, canvas, hessian etc. The minimum water depth of 25mm for ponding shall be maintained.The method of containing the ponded water shall be approved by the Engineer-in-Charge. The ponded areas shall be kept continuously filled with water, and leaks, if any, shall be promptly repaired. Areas cured by ponding method shall be cleared of all debris and foreign materials after curing period is over. Alternatively, membrane curing may be used in lieu of moist curing with the permission of the = Engineer-in-Charge. Such compounds shall be applied to all exposed surfaces of the concrete by spraying or brushing as soon as possible after the concrete has set.
Minimum film thickness of such curing compounds shall be as per the recommendation of the manufacturer so as to obtain an efficiency of 90% as specified by BS-8110. This film of curing compound shall be fully removed from the concrete surface after the curing period specified earlier. Engineer-in-Charge may not allow curing by curing compounds for those surfaces where use of curing compound may be detrimental to application of future finishes over the concrete. Impermeable membranes such as polyethylene sheeting closely covering the concrete surface may also be used. 14.2 For concretes containing Portland pozzoolana cement or Portland slag cement, the curing period as given in 14.1 shall be doubled. Curing by ponding shall, however, commence after the first 24 hours of concreting.
15.0 FIELD TESTS 15.1 Grading Test Grading test on fine and coarse aggregates shall be carried out as per IS:2386 at intervals specified by the Engineer-in-Charge.

Vee-Bee TestISlump Test of Concrete
For structural quality concrete (excluding pavements, flooring etc.) at least one Slump Test shall be made for every compressive strength test carried out. More frequent tests shall be made if there is a distinct change in working conditions or if required by the Engineer-in-Charge. 15.2.2 For structural quality concrete for pavements & floorings, measurement of workability shall be by determination of compacting factor. Value of compacting factor of 0.75 to 0.8 shall generally be acceptable. 15.3 Strength Test of Concrete 15.3.1 Samples from fresh concrete shall be taken as per IS: 1 199 and cubes shall be made, cured and tested at 28 days in accordance with IS:516. 15.3.2 In order to get a relatively quicker idea of the quality of concrete, optional tests on beams for modulus of rupture at 722 2 hours or at 7 days, or compressive strength tests at 7 days may be carried out in addition to 28 days compressive strength tests. For this purpose, the values shall be arrived at based on actual testing. In all cases, the 28 days compressive strength specified in Table-1 shall alone be the criterion for acceptance or rejection of the concrete. Procedure A random sampling procedure shall be adopted to ensure that each concrete batch shall have a reasonable chance of being tested, that is the sampling should be spread over the entire period of concreting and cover all mixing units. 15.3.4 Frequency of Sampling The minimum frequency of sampling of concrete for each grade shall be in accordance with Table-5 TABLE - 5 FREOUENCY OF CONCRETE SAMPLING Quantity of concrete in the work in m3 1-5 6-15 16-30 Number of Samples 1 2 3

At least one sample shall be taken from each shift. Where concrete is produced at continuous production units such as ready mixed concrete plants, frequency of sampling may be agreed upon mutually by Engineer-in-Charge. 15.3.5 Test Specimen Three test specimens shall be made from each sample for testing at 28 days. Additional cubes may be required for various purposes such as to determine the strength of concrete at 7 days or at the time of striking the formwork or to check the testing error. Additional samples may also be required for testing samples cured by accelerated methods as described in IS:9013. The specimen shall be tested as described in IS:516. 15.3.6 Test Results of Sample The test results of the sample shall be the average of the strength of three specimens. The individual variation should not be more than + 15 percent of the average. If the individual variation is more than f 15 percent, the test results of the sample shall be considered invalid.
15.3.7 Standard Deviation i) Standard deviation based on test results of samples : a) The total number of test samples required to constitute an acceptable record for calculation of standard deviation shall be not less than 30. Attempts shall be made to obtain the 30 samples, as early as possible, when a mix is used for the first time. For design of mix in the first instance, the value of standard deviation given in Table-6 may be assumed. As soon as sufficient results of samples are available, actual calculated standard deviation shall be used and the mix design revised/ updated. TABLE - 6 ASSUMED STANDARD DEVIATION Grade of Concrete

The concrete shall be deemed to comply with flexural strength requirements when both the following conditions are simultaneously met : a) b) The mean strength determined from any group of four consecutive test results exceeds the specified characteristic strength by at least 0.3 N / d . The strength determined from any test result is not less than the specified characteristic strength less 0.3 N/mm2. Quantity of Concrete Represented by Strength Test Results
15.3.8.3
The quantity of concrete represented by a group of four consecutive test results shall include the batches from which the first and last samples were taken together with all intervening batches. For the individual test result requirements given in Table 7 or in item (b) of 15.3.8.2, only the particular batch from which the sample was taken shall be at risk. Where the mean rate of sampling is not specified, the maximum quantity of concrete that four consecutive test results represent shall be limited to 60m3 . 15.3.8.4 If the concrete is deemed not to comply persuant to 15.3.8.3, the structural adequacy of the parts affected shall be investigated and any consequential action as needed shall be taken (Refer cl. 16.0 & 17.0). 15.3.8.5 Concrete of each grade shall be assessed separately.
15.3.8.6 Concrete is liable to be rejected if it is porous or honey-combed, its placing has
Been interrupted without providing a proper construction joint, the reinforcement has been displaced beyond the tolerances specified, or construction tolerances have not been met. However, the hardened concrete may be accepted after carrying out suitable remedial measures and tests to the fullest satisfaction of the Engineer-inCharge.
16.0 INSPECTION AND TESTING OF STRUCTURES

16.1 Inspection To ensure that the construction complies with the design, an inspection procedure shall be set up by the contractor and duly approved by Engineer-in Charge covering materials used, receipt of materials, there test results, records, workmanship and construction etc. 16.2 Immediately after stripping the formwork, all concrete shall be carefully inspected and any defective work or small defects either removed or made good before concrete has thoroughly hardened.
16.3 Testing In case of doubt regarding the grade or soundness of concrete used, either due to poor workmanship or based on results of cube strength, compressive strength tests of concrete on the basis of c1.16.4, 16.5, 16.6, 16.7 and/ or load test (see cl. 16.6) shall be carried out. 16.4 Core Test 16.4.1 The points from which cores are to be taken and the number of cores required shall be at the discretion of Engineer-in-charge and shall be representative of whole of concrete concerned. In no case, however, shall fewer than three cores be tested. 16.4.2 16.4.3 Cores shall be prepared and tested as described in IS:516.
Concrete in the member represented by a core test shall be considered acceptable if the average equivalent cube strength of the cores is equal to at least 85 percent of the cube strength of the grade of concrete specified for the corresponding age and no individual core has a strength less than 75 percent. 16.4.4 In case the core test results do not satisfy the requirements of cl. 16.4.3 or where such tests have not been done, load test may be resorted to. 16.5 Load Tests for Flexural Member
16.5.1 Load test shall be carried out as soon as possible after expiry of 28 days from the time of placing of concrete. 16.5.2 The structure shall be subjected to a load equal to full dead load of the structure plus 1.25 times the imposed load for a period of 24 hours and then the imposed load shall be removed. The dead load shall include self weight of the structural member plus weight of finishes and wall or partitions, if any, as considered in the design.
16.5.3 The deflection due to imposed load only shall be recorded. If within 24 hours of removal of the imposed load the structure does not recover at least 75 percent of the deflection under superimposed load, the test may be repeated after a lapse of 72 hours.
If the recovery is less than 80 percent, the structure shall be deemed to be unacceptable. 16.5.4 If the maximum deflection in mm, shown during 24 hours under load is less than 40 L21D, where L is the effective span in m, and D, the overall depth of the section in rnm, it is not necessary for the recovery to be measured and the recovery provisions of 16.5.3 shall not apply. 16.5.5 The Engineer-in-Charge shall be the final authority for interpreting the results of all tests and shall decide upon the acceptance or otherwise. The decision of the Engineer-in-Charge shall be final and binding on the contractor. In case the results of the tests are unsatisfactory, the Engineer-in-Charge may instruct the contractor to demolish and reconstruct the structure or part thereof without any extra cost to the Owner. 16.6 Members other than Flexural Members Members other than flexural members like columns etc. shall be referred to the designer to investigate the structural adequacy. The decision of the designer shall be final and binding on the contractor. 16.7 Non - destructive Tests Non-destructive tests using Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity and Rebound Hammer methods shall be resorted to for checking the soundness of concrete placed and shall be as per the directions of Engineer-in-Charge. The testing shall be based on IS: 133 1 1, Part-1 . However, the Rebound Hammer test shall only be used in combination with other tests (Destructive or Non-Destructive) for checking the concrete quality. 17.0 FINISHING OF CONCRETE 17.1 On striking the formwork, all surface defects such as bulges, ridges and honey-combing etc. observed shall be brought to the notice of the Engineer-in-Charge. The Engineer-inCharge may,at his discretion allow rectification by necessary chipping and packing or grouting with concrete or cement mortar. However, if honey-combing or sagging are of such extent as being undesirable, the Engineer-in-Charge may reject the work totally and his decision shall be binding. No extra payment shall be made for rectifying these defects, demolishing and reconstructing the structure. However, quantity of cement actually used for this purpose may be considered for reconciliation of materials. All burrs and uneven faces shall be rubbed smooth with the help of carborundum stone. The surface of non-shuttered faces shall be smoothened with a wooden float to give a finish similar to that of the rubbed down shuttered faces. Concealed concrete faces shall be Ieft as from the formwork except that honey-combed surface shall be made good as specified above. The top faces of slabs not intended to be covered shall be levelled and floated to a smooth finish to the rises or falls shown on the drawings or as directed. The floating shall not be executed to the extent of bringing excess fine materials to the
surface. The top faces of slabs intended to be covered with screed, granolithic or similar finishes, shall be left with a rough finish. 17.2 Repair and Replacement of Unsatisfactory Concrete 17.2.1 Repair shall be made as soon as possible after the forms are removed and before the concrete becomes too hard with prior permission from the Engineer-in-Charge, in writing. Stone pockets, segregation patches and damaged areas shall be chipped out and the edges undercut slightly to form a key. All loose material shall be washed out before patching. No excess water shall be left in the cavity, but the concrete shall be damp. A good bond between the patch and parent concrete shall be obtained by sprinkling dry cement on the wet surface or by throwing mortar with force on to the wetted concrete, or by brush in a coat of thick cement grout of about 1 : 1 ( 1 cement: 1 sand) just before applying the patching material. Before this has dried, the remainder of the patch shall be filled with mortar or concrete, depending on the extent of the repair. 17.2.2 Cement concrete/mortar used in repair of exposed surfaces shall be made with cement from the same source as that used in concrete and blended with sufficient amount of white Portland cement to produce the same colour as in the adjoining concrete. The proportions of ingredients shall be same as those used in parent concrete. The mortar shall be as dry as possible and well compacted into the cavity. All filling shall be tightly bonded to the concrete and shall be sound, free from shrinkage cracks after the filling has been cured and dried. 17.2.3 For larger repairs to hardened concrete, necessary formwork bearing tightly at the edges of the cavity shall be provided. Concrete shall be chipped out to a depth of at least l00 mm and preferably 150mm. Mortar shall be scrubbed into all surfaces with a wire brush before placing the concrete. Damaged reinforcement shall be adequately spliced with new steel so as to maintain the original strength. Additional reinforcement, if required in the patch, shall be provided as per the instructions of Engineer-in-Charge. 17.2.4 In case in the opinion of the Engineer-in-Charge defects in the concrete is excessive or beyond repair, the contractor shall either redo the structure or take other remedial measures as instructed by the Engineer-in-Charge. The decision of the Engineer-inCharge shall be final and binding to all in this respect. 17.2.5 Approved epoxy formulation for bonding fresh concrete used for repairs with already hardened concrete shall be used by the Contractor if asked by the Engineer-in-Charge. Epoxy shall be applied in strict accordance with relevant GAIL Specification and the instructions of the manufacturer. 17.2.6 All repair works due to non-conformance or non-adherence to specification, if allowed by the Engineer-in-Charge, shall be carried out free of cost to the owner.
17.3 Curing of Patched Work Immediately after patching is completed, the patched area shall be covered with an approved non-staining water saturated material which shall be kept wet and protected against sun and wind for a period of 12 hours. Thereafter, the patched area shall be kept continuously wet by a fine spray or sprinkling for not less than 10 days. 18.0 CEMENT WASH If not otherwise provided with protective coating due to architectural and/ or geotechnical requirements, all concrete elements (whether cast-in-situ or precast) exposed to atmosphere shall be provided with three coats of cement based waterproof paint as per IS5410. Prior to application of the paint, the surface shall be prepared to remove all foreign particles, loose materials, extra deposited concrete lumps, etc. using appropriate mechanicall manual means. 19.0 FORM WORK
19.1 General 19.1.1 Forms for concrete shall be of plywood conforming to IS:6461 or steel or as directed by the Engineer-in-Charge and shall give smooth and even surface after removal thereof. 19.1.2 If it is desired by the Engineer-in-Charge, the Contractor shall prepare, before commencement of actual work, design and drawings for formwork and get them approved by the Engineer-in-Charge. For details regarding design, detailing etc., reference may be made to IS: 14687. 19.1.3 Form work and its supports shall maintain their correct position and be to correct shape and profile so that the final concrete structure is within the limits of dimensional tolerances specified below, unless required otherwise, for functional/ aesthetic reasons. The decision of the Engineer-in-Charge shall be final and binding in this regard. (a) Deviation from specified dimensions - 6mm to + 12mm of cross section of columns and beams. (b) Deviation from dimensions of footings (see Note below) (i) (ii) (iii) Dimensions in plan -12mm to +50mm Eccentricity 0.02 times the width of the footing in the direction of deviation but not more than 50 mm.

The shorter side shall not vary in its distance from a perpendicular so that the difference between the greatest and shortest dimensions exceeds 6mm. For this purpose, any error due to lack of straightness shall be ignored. Squareness shall be checked with respect to the straight lines that are most nearly parallel with the features being checked. When the nominal angle is other than 90 degree ,the included angle between check lines shall be varied accordingly. (f) Deviation in twist shall be within a limit such that any corner shall not be more than the limit given below from the plane containing other three comers: upto 600mm wide and upto 6m in length -6mm over 600mm wide and for any length -12mm Maximum deviation in flatness from a 1.5m straight edge placed in any position on a nominally plain surface shall not exceed 6mm. (h) The tolerance limits for concrete columns/pedestals shall be same as given in relevant Specification .
19.2 19.2.1
Form Requirement: The formwork shall be true, rigid and adequately braced both horizontally as well as diagonally. The forms shall have smooth and even surface and be sufficiently strong to carry, without deformation, the dead weight of the green concrete, working load, wind load and also the side pressure exerted by the green concrete. As far as practical, clamps shall be used to hold the forms together. Where use of nails is unavoidable minimum number of nails shall be used. Projected part of nail shall not be bent or twisted for easy withdrawal. Where through tie rods are required to be put to hold the formwork and maintain accurate dimension, they shall always be inserted through a precast concrete block (of same mix proportion as is to be used for concreting) with a through hole of bigger diameter. The Precast block shall tightly fit against in inner faces of formwork. The holes left after the withdrawal of tie rods shall be fully grouted with cement-sand mortar of same proportion as that used for concrete. However, use of such precast block shall in no case impair the desired appearance or durability of the structure. No such tie rods shall be used in any liquid retaining or basement structure. Tie wires shall be permitted only upon approval of the Engineer-in-Charge and shall be cut off flush with the face of the concrete or counter sunk, filled and finished in the manner specified in clause 17. 9.2.4 Form joints shall not permit any leakage. The formwork shall be strong enough to withstand the effect of vibrations practically without any deflection, bulging, distortion or loosening of its components.
19.2.2
19.2.3
9.2.5 Forms for beams and slabs (span more than 6.0m) shall have camber of 1 in 500 so as to offset the deflection and assume correct shape and line after deposition of concrete. For cantilevers, the camber at free end shall be 11100th of the projected length. Where architectural considerations and adjunctive work are critical, smaller form cambers shall be adopted as decided by the Engineer-in-Charge. 19.2.6 All vertical wall forms may be designed and constructed for the following minimum pressure. The pressures listed in Table-8 are intended as guide only and the Contractor shall ensure that the formwork is adequately strong and sturdy.

All horizontal forms shall be designed and constructed to withstand the dead load of the green concrete, reinforcement, equipment, material, embedment and a minimum live load of 2.0 kN/m2. 19.3 Inspection of Forms Temporary openings shall be provided at the base of column and wall forms and other places necessary to facilitate cleaning and inspection. Before concrete is placed, all forms shall be carefully inspected to ensure that they are properly placed, sufficiently rigid and tight, thoroughly cleaned, properly treated and free from foreign material. The complete form work shall be inspected and approved by the Engineer-in-Charge before the reinforcement bars are placed in position. When forms appear to be unsatisfactory in any way, either before or during the placing of concrete, the work shall be stopped until the defects have been corrected as per the instructions of the Engineer-in-Charge. Cleaning and Treatment of Formwork The surfaces of forms that would come in contact with concrete shall be well treated with approved non- staining form release agents such as soft soap, oil, emulsions etc. Release agents shall be - applied so as to provide a thin uniform coating to the forms without coating the reinforcement. Chamfers and Fillets All corners and angles shall be formed with 45 degree mouldings to form chamfers or fillets on the finished concrete. The standard dimensions of chamfers and fillets, unless otherwise detailed or specified shall be 25x25mm. For heavier work chamfers or fillets shall be 5Ox50mm. Care shall be exercised to ensure accurate mouldings. The diagonal face of the moulding shall be planed or surfaced to the same texture as the forms to which it is attached. 19.6 Reuse of forms Before reuse, all forms shall be thoroughly scrapped, cleaned, examined and when necessary, repaired and retreated, before resetting. Formwork shall not be reused, if declared unfit or un-serviceable by the Engineer-in-Charge.

19.7 Removal of Forms/Stripping Time In the determination of time for removal of forms, consideration shall be given to the
location and character of the structures, the weather and other conditions including the setting and curing of the concrete and material used in the mix. Forms and their supports shall not be removed without the approval of the Engineer-inCharge. Forms shall not be released until the concrete has achieved a strength of at least twice the stress to which the concrete may be subjected at the time of removal. The formwork shall be removed without shock and methods of form removal likely to cause over stressing* or damage to the concrete, shall not be adopted. Supports shall be removed in such a manner as to permit the concrete to uniformly and gradually take the stresses due to its own weight. In normal circumstances when average air temperature exceeds 15 degree Celsius during the period under consideration after pouring of concrete and where ordinary Portland cement is used, forms may generally be removed after expiry of following periods. (a) Walls, columns and vertical faces of all structural members Slabs (props left under) Beam Soffits (props left under) Removal of props under slabs: Spanning upto 4.5m. Spanning over 4.5m. (e) Removal of props under beams and arches: Spanning upto 6m Spanning over 6m (f) Cantilever Construction 14 days 21 days Formwork shall remain till structures for counter acting or bearing down have been erected and have attained sufficient strength (minimum 14 days). . 7 days 14 days. 16 to 24 hours as may be decided by the Engineer-inCharge. 3 days. 7 days
(b) ( c) (d)
Notes: 1. For other cements, the stripping time recommended for ordinary Portland cement shall
be suitably modified as per the instructions of the Engineer- in-Charge. 2. The number of props left under, their sizes, supporting arrangement, and disposition shall be such as to be able to safely carry the full dead load of the slab, beam or arch as the case may be together with any live load likely to occur during curing or further construction. Where the shape of the element is such that the formwork has re-entrant angles, the form work shall be removed as soon as possible after the concrete has set, to avoid shrinkage cracking occurring due to the restraint imposed. For rapid hardening cement, 317 of the above mentioned periods shall be considered subject to a minimum of 16 hours. Staging scaffolding

20.0 EXPOSED/ARCHITECTURAL CONCRETE WORK 20.1 Form Work Other things remaining same as per clause 19.0, formwork shall be of high quality. Care shall be taken to arrange the forms so that the joints between forms correspond with the pattern indicated in the drawings. The forms shall be butting with each other in straight lines, the corners of the boards being truly at right angles. The joints between the forms shall cross in the two directions at right angles. The size of forms shall be so selected as to exactly match with the pattern of forms impression on the concrete face indicated in the drawings. Maximum care shall be taken to make the form work watertight. Burnt oil shall not be used for treatment of forms. The Contractor shall be permitted reuse of forms brought new on the work for exposed concrete work as specified below. Such reuses shall be permitted only if forms are properly cared for, stored, repaired and treated after each use. a) Plywood Forms 6 Reuses (max.) b) Steel Forms 10 Reuses (max.)
The Engineer-in-Charge may, at his absolute discretion, order removal of any forms considered unfit for use in the work irrespective of the number of uses specified above. 20.2 Finishing Repairing to exposed concrete work shall be avoided. Rendering and plastering shall not be done. Minor repairing if unavoidable shall be done as specified in clause 17.0 with the written permission of the Engineer-in-Charge . 21.0 REINFORCEMENT 21.1 The Contractor shall develop the bar bending schedule for all RCC structures1 structural parts at no extra cost to the Owner and shall get it reviewed by the Engineer-in-charge. Reinforcement shall be cut and bent to shape as per dimensions shown in the bar bending schedule1 drawings. If protective fusion bonded epoxy coating is required to be applied on reinforcement bars, the same shall be done as per BS:7295. All repairs to applied protective coating required due to mishandling and/ or bending of reinforcement bars shall also be done as per relevant clauses of
BS:7295. 2 1.2 Straightening, Cutting and Bending Procedure for cutting and bending shall be as given in IS:2502. In case bars are supplied in coils, they shall be smoothly straightened without any kinks. Cold twisted deformed bars shall be bent cold. Bars larger than 25mm in size (except cold twisted deformed bars) may be bent hot at cherry red heat to a temperature not exceeding 850' Celsius as per the instructions of the Engineer-in-Charge. The bars shall be allowed to cool gradually without quenching. Bars shall be bent in a slow and regular movement to avoid fractures. Bars which develop cracks or splits after bending shall be rejected. A second bending of reinforcement bars shall be avoided but when reinforcement bars are bent aside at construction joints and afterwards bent back into their original position, care should be taken to ensure that at no time is radius of the bend Iess than 4 times bar diameter for plain mild steel or 6 times bar diameter for high strength deformed bars. Care shall also be taken when bending back bars to ensure that concrete around the bars is not damaged. All bars shall be properly tagged for easy identification. 21 .3 Placing and Fixing All reinforcement shall be cleaned to ensure freedom from loose mill scale, loose rust, oil, form releasing agents, grease or any other harmful material before placing them in position. Reinforcement shall not be surrounded by concrete unless it is free from all such materials. Rough handling, and dropping of reinforcement from a height shall be avoided All reinforcement shall be fixed in the correct position and shall be properly supported to ensure that displacement will not occur when the concrete is placed and compacted. The uncoated reinforcement bars shall be tied at every intersections by two strands of 16 SWG black soft annealed binding wire. The Epoxy coated reinforcement bars shall be tied with 2 strands of PVC coated GI 18 SWG wire at every intersection. Crossing bars shall not be tack welded for assembly of reinforcement. The reinforcement bars shall be kept in position by using the following methods: a) In case of beam and slab construction, precast cover blocks (having the same cement sand contents as the concrete which shall be placed) of size 40 x 40 mm and thickness equal to the specified covers shall be placed firmly in between the bars and forms so as to secure and maintain the specified covers over the reinforcement. When reinforcement bars are placed in two or more layers in beams, the vertical distance between the horizontal bars shall be maintained by introducing spacer bars at 1 to 1.2m centre to centre.
REV-0 Page 35 of 42
b)
In case of thick rafts & pile caps having two or multilayers of reinforcement, the vertical distance between the horizontal bars shall be maintained by introducing suitable chairs, spacers, etc.
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. The templates shall be removed after the concreting has been done below it. d) Exposed portions of reinforcement bars shall not be subjected to impact or rough handling and workmen will not be permitted to climb on extending bars until the concrete has attained sufficient strength so that no movement of the bars in the concrete is possible. 21.4 Special requirements for Handling, Stacking, Placing of Epoxy coated Reinforcing bars.

SCOPE 1.1 Concrete structures meant for liquid retaining shall cover under/overground Reservoirs/tanks, sumps, channels, launders, swimming pools, etc. which are required to retain any liquid internally. However for basements, tunnels, ducts etc . which are in direct contact with the sub-soil water from outside, shall also be applicable, in case referred in drawings. 2.0 2.1 REFERENCES BIS Codes IS:3370, 6494, 121 18, 1838 2.2 GAIL specifications S-11-02-002 : Materials S-11-02-004 : Plain and Reinforced Cement Concrete 3.0 3.1 4.0 4.1 MATERIALS Materials for concrete viz. cement, sand, aggregate, water etc., admixtures and water stops shall be as described in relevant specification. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS The concrete structure by itself shall be leak proof to the extent as acceptable (refer to cl. 1 1.0). Damp patches, if any at the initial stage, shall not be acceptable if the same do not disappear after three months of putting the structure in service. The basic requirement is to make the concrete sound, dense and impervious. The Contractor shall take all necessary precautions in selecting the materials, mix design and method of construction so as to achieve this objective. If any additional liquid-proof material is specified and/or shown on drawings, the same shall be considered as a second-line of defence and shall not entail the contractor to any relaxation from the conditions for the structure being leak-proof by itself. This specification defines the materials, constructional and performance requirements for liquid retaining concrete structures. Any special requirements as shown or noted in the drawings shall govern over the provisions of this specification. The work shall be done in accordance with this specification together with IS:3370 & IS:6494. In case of conflict between the clauses mentioned in this specification and those in the Indian Standards, this specification shall govern.

After construction, the structure shall be tested for watertightness11eakproofness as detailed hereunder. CONCRETE GAIL specification no. 6-68-0004 shall be applicable together with the following clauses :
5.1.1 Special care shall be taken to get the most suitable grading of aggregates so as to produce the densest possible concrete. The maximum size of coarse aggregate shall be limited to 20 rnm, unless shown on the drawing. Water-cement ratio shall be strictly controlled (by making due allowance for the surface water carried by the aggregates), consistent with the requirement of workability to produce an impervious concrete. 5.1.2 Concrete shall have a minimum cement content of 350 kg/m3. Maximum water cement ratio permissible shall be 0.45. In order to achieve required workability and slump, cement and water content may be suitably adjusted, keeping the water cement ratio constant. 5.1.3 The joints of shuttering board shall be made tight to produce a face free from pores. 5.1.4 The concrete shall be so placed and vibrated that a well compacted dense concrete free from honeycombing is produced. 5.1.5 Admixtures Admixtures in concrete shall be used only with the prior approval of the Engineer-inCharge. Any admixture used for obtaining proper workability or leak-proofness of concrete or repair/rendering works of concrete due to non-conformance to the GAIL specifications, shall not be measured and paid for. All costs relating to such usage shall be borne by the Contractor. 5.2 Construction, Contraction & Expansion Joints 5.2.1 All vertical and horizontal joints in liquid retaining structures shall be located and executed as shown in the drawings. For construction joints not shown in the drawing, specific approval of the Engineer-in-Charge shall be obtained. Every endeavour shall be made to avoid vertical construction joints. The number of construction joints shall be kept to the minimum. Where horizontal or vertical joints are required to be left after the day's work, the same shall be done as per directions of the Engineer-in-Charge. The face of the old concrete shall be well hacked to expose the aggregate, care being taken to avoid damaging the aggregate.

While the remainder of the concrete should be kept continuously wet, curing of the joint surface may be suspended a few hours before concreting is to be resumed so as to permit no more than superficial drying of the joint surface. Just before concreting is resumed, the roughened joint surface shall be thoroughly cleaned and freed from loose pieces of gravel, stone chips, wooden chips, nails, laitance or any other foreign material, preferably, without re-wetting, and then treated with a thin layer of cement grout, worked well into the surface, or treated with cement-sand mortar in which water-cement and sand-cement ratios do not exceed those in the new concrete. 5.2.2 Horizontal joints in vertical walls of the structure shall preferably form a closed loop. 5.2.3 Water stops installation shall be done by embedding one half of the water stop along the proposed joints on each side of the joint by suitable jigs/supporting arrangement between the adjacent sections of the concrete as per the manufacturer's specifications and directions of the Engineer-in-Charge. Water stops shall be positioned accurately and supported against any displacement during concreting. All precautions shall be taken to avoid folding or twisting of water stops during pouring and compacting concrete. To achieve the continuity of the water stop all along the joint, at crossings and at change of alignments, the water stops shall be joined/ vulcanised as per manufacturer's specifications and directions of the Engineer-in-Charge. Jigs manufactured out of reinforcing bars may be used for fixing the water stop. The jigs shall be measured and paid under reinforcement item. 5.2.4 Expansion joints shall be filled up with non-absorbent compressible sheet/bitumen impregnated fibre board (as per IS:1838) except the top 12rnm depth on the water faces(or as shown on the drawings) which shall be filled with two part liquid polysulphide sealant (as per IS: 12 1 18).In case of contraction and/or construction joints, such polysulphide sealant shall be used for 12rnrn depth on the water faces (or as shown on the drawings) after forming suitable grooves in concrete. 5.3 Items Embedded in Concrete
5.3.1 All sleeves, inserts, anchors and embedded items required for the work shall be available at site prior to start of concreting. These shall be accurately placed and embedded as described in GAIL specification no. 6-68-004. In case any protective coating for such elements is shown, Contractor shall coat the same prior to embedment, which shall be paid separately. 5.3.2 Every precaution shall be taken to keep all embedments and water stops in position as shown on drawings during pouring and compacting concrete. Work in such areas shall be carried out under strict supervision.

Where material analysis are available, the welding procedure shall be carried out on material with the highest carbon equivalent value. After welding, but before the relevant tests given in IS:7307 are carried out, the test weld shall be held as long as possible at room temperature, but in any case not less than 72 hours, and shall then be examined for cracking. The examination procedure shall be sufficiently rigorous to be capable of revealing significant defects in both parent metal and weld metal. After establishing the welding method, the Contractor shall finally submit to the Engineer-in-Charge for his approval the welding procedure specification in standard format given in IS39595 before starting the fabrication. 5.2.6.6 a) b) Sequence of Welding As far as practicable, all welds shall be made in a sequence that will balance the applied heat of welding while the welding progresses. The direction of the general progression in welding on a member shall be from points where the parts are relatively fixed in position with respect to each other towards points where they have a greater relative freedom of movement. All splices in each component part of a cover-plated beam or built up member shall be made before the component part is welded to other component parts of

the member. d) e) f) Joints expected to have significant shrinkage shall be welded before joints expected to have lesser shrinkage. Welding shall be carried continuously to completion with correct number of runs. The Contractor shall choose the welding sequence after carefully studying each case such as to minimize distortion and shrinkage & submit the same to the Engineer-in-Charge for comments and approval. Welding Technique After the fusion faces are carefully aligned and set with proper gaps, the root pass of butt joints shall be executed properly so as to achieve full penetration with complete fusion of the root edges. On completion of each run, all slag and spatters shall be removed and the weld and the adjacent base metal shall be cleaned by wire brushing and light chipping. Visible defects such are cracks, cavities and other deposition faults, if any, shall be removed to sound metal before depositing subsequent run of weld.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS Cement Mortar Cement mortar shall meet the requirements of IS2250 and shall be prepared by mixing cement and sand by volume. Proportion of cement and sand shall be 1 :6 (1 part of cement and 6 parts of sand), or as directed by the Engineer-in-Charge/shown on the drawing, for brick masonry of one brick thickness or more, while 1:4 cement mortar (1 part of cement and 4 parts of sand) shall be used for brick masonry of half brick thickness. The sand being used for mortar shall be sieved. The mortar shall be used as soon as possible after mixing and before it has begun to set and in any case within initial setting time of cement after water is added to the dry mixture. Mortar unused for more than initial setting time of cement, shall be rejected and removed from the site of work.
4.1.1 Proportioning The unit of measurement for cement shall be a bag of cement weighing 50 kgs and this shall be taken as 0.035 cubic meter. Sand shall be measured in boxes of suitable size on the basis of its dry volume. In case of damp sand, its quantity shall be increased suitably to allow for bulkage. 4.1.2 Mixing
(INDIA) LTD NEW DELHI STANDARD SPECIFICATION CIVIL & STRL WORKS FOR BRICK MASONRY DOCUMENT No. S-11-02-008 REV-0 Page 3 of 9
The mixing of mortar shall be done in a mechanical mixer operated manually or by power. The Engineer-in-Charge may, however, permit hand-mixing as a special case, taking into account the magnitude, nature and location of work. The Contractor shall take the prior permission of Engineer-in-Charge, in writing, for using hand-mixing before the commencement of work. 4.1.2.1 Mixing in Mechanical Mixer Cement and sand in specified proportions, by volume, shall be thoroughly mixed dry in a mixer. Water shall then be added gradually and wet mixing continued for atleast one minute. Care shall be taken not to add more water than that which shall bring the mortar to the consistency of stiff paste. Wet mix from the mixer shall be unloaded on water-tight masonry platform, made adjacent to the mixer. Platform shall be atleast 150 mm above the levelled ground to avoid contact of surrounding earth with the mix. Size of the platform shall be such that it shall extend atleast 300rnm alround the loaded wet mix area. Wet mix, so prepared, shall be utilized within initial setting time [thirty (30) minutes either for ordinary portland cement conforming to IS:269 or for portland slag cement conforming to IS:455] after addition of water. Mixer shall be cleaned with water each time before suspending the work. 4.1.2.2 Hand Mixing The measured quantity of sand shall be levelled on a clean water-tight masonry platform and cement bags emptied on top. The cement and sand shall be thoroughly mixed dry by being turned over and over, backward and forward, several times till the mixture is of uniform colour. The quantity of dry mix which can be consumed within initial setting time of cement shall then be mixed with just sufficient quantity of water to bring the mortar to the consistency of stiff paste. 5.0 5.1 CONSTRUCTION PROCEDURE Soaking of Bricks Bricks shall be soaked in water before use for a period that is sufficient for the water to just penetrate the whole depth of bricks as well as to remove dirt, dust and sand. Proper soaking of bricks shall prevent the suction of water from the wet mortar as otherwise mortar will dry out soon and crumble before attaining any strength. The bricks shall not be too wet at the time of use as they are likely to slip on mortar bed and there will be difficulty in achieving the plumbness of wall as well as proper adhesion of bricks to mortar. The period of soaking shall be determined at site by a field test by immersing the bricks in water for different periods and then breaking the bricks to find the extent of water penetration. The least period that corresponds to complete soaking, will be the one, to be allowed for in the construction work.
The soaked bricks shall be removed from the tank, sufficient early, so that at the time of laying, they are skin dry. The soaked bricks shall be stacked over a clean place, wooden planks or masonry platforms to avoid earth, dirt being smeared on them. 5.2 Laying
5.2.1 Brick Work (one or more brick thickness) Brick work (one or more brick thickness) shall be laid in English Bond unless otherwise specified. Half or cut bricks shall not be used except when needed to complete the bond. In no case the defective bricks shall be used. A layer of average thickness of 10mm of cement mortar shall be spread on full width over a suitable length of lower course or the concrete surface. In order to check and achieve uniformity in masonry, the thickness of bed joints shall be such that four courses and three joints taken consecutively shall measure equal to four times the actual thickness of the brick plus 30mm. Each brick with frog upward, shall be properly bedded and set in position by gently tapping with handle of trowel or wooden mallet. Its inside faces shall be buttered with mortar before the next brick is laid and pressed against it. After completion of the course, all vertical joints shall be filled from top with mortar. All brick courses shall be taken up truly plumb; if battered, the batter is to be truly maintained. All courses shall be laid truly horizontal and vertical joints shall be truly vertical. The level and verticality of work in walls shall be checked up at every one metre interval. The masonry walls of structures shall be carried up progressively, leaving no part one metre lower than the other. If this cannot be adhered to, the brick work shall be raked back according to bond (and not left toothed) at an angle not more than 45 degrees but raking back shall not start within 60 cm of a corner. In all cases returns, buttresses, counter forts, pillars etc. shall be built up carefully course by course, and properly bonded with the main walls. The brick work shall not be raised more than fourteen (14) courses per day. At the junction of any two walls, the bricks shall at each alternate course, be carried into each of the respective walls so as to thoroughly unite the work. The courses at the top of plinth and sills, at the top of the wall just below the soffit of the roof slab or roof beam and at the top of the parapet, shall be laid with bricks on edge. Brick on edge course shall be so arranged as to tightly fit under the soffit of the roof beam or roof slab, restricting the mortar layer thickness upto 12mm, however, any gap between the finished brick work and soffit of roof slablbeam shall be suitably
sealed with the mortar. 52.2 Brick Work (half brick thickness) For brick walls of half brick thickness, all courses shall be laid with stretchers. Wall shall be reinforced with 2 nos. - 6mm diameter mild steel reinforcement bars, placed at every fourth course. The reinforcement bars, shall be straightened and thoroughly cleaned. Half the mortar thickness for the bedding joint shall be laid first and mild steel reinforcement, one on each face of the wall, shall be embedded, keeping a side cover of 12mm mortar. Subsequently, the other half of the mortar thickness shall be laid over the reinforcement covering it fully. The reinforcement bars shall be carried atleast 150mm into the adjoining walls or RCC columns. In case the adjoining wall being of half brick thickness, the length of bars shall be achieved by bending the bars in plan. During casting of reinforced concrete columns, 6mm dia. M.S. reinforcing bar shall be placed at every fourth course of brick masonry. At the junction of two walls, the brick shall, at each alternate course, be carried into each of the respective walls so as to thoroughly unite the work. The brick masonry work shall not be raised more than 14 courses per day. Brick course under the soffit of beam or slab, shall be laid by restricting the mortar thickness to 12mm. However, any gap between the finished brickwork and soffit of slablbeam, shall be suitably sealed with the mortar. 5.2.3 Cavity Walls Brick work in cavity walls shall be included with general brickwork. It shall consist of one wall of one or more brick thickness while the other wall shall be of half brick thickness at a clear gap of 50rnm. The brick work on either side of cavity shall conform to the specifications already stated under 5.2.1 and 5.2.2. At the base of the cavity wall, the walls shall be solidly constructed upto 300mm above the ground level. The cavity wall shall be terminated 300mm below the soffit of roof slab/beam and the courses over this shall be continued in solid brickwork. Cavity should be continuous and free from obstructions. Mortar droppings shall be prevented from falling down the cavity by the use of laths or by hayhands which shall be drawn up the cavity as the work proceeds. Any mortar which may unavoidably fall on the wall-ties, shall be removed daily and temporary openings shall be provided to permit the daily removal of mortar droppings from the bottom of the cavity. The outer and inner leaves shall be tied by means of wall ties. Ties shall be of mild steel round bars of 8mm dia. 200 mm long with hooks at both the ends. These shall be placed not more than 750mm clc horizontally and not more than 300mm vertically, and staggered. Additional ties shall be provided near the openings. There shall at least, be 5
ties per square meter of surface area of the wall. Ties shall be given a bituminous coat before placement, to protect them from corrosion. In order to keep the cavity dry, air slots shall be provided in the cavity walls at bottom as well as top to the extent of 50 sq.cm area of vents to every 2.0 sq. metre area of the wall. 5.2.4 Circular Brick Work The detailed GAIL specification for brick work covered under 5.2.1 & 5.2.2 shall apply, in so far as these are applicable. Bricks forming skew backs, shall be dressed or cut so as to give proper radial bearing. Defects in dressing of bricks shall not be covered up by extravagant use of mortar, nor shall the use of chips etc, be permitted. The circular brick work shall be carried up from both ends simultaneously and keyed in the centre. The bricks shall be flushed with mortar and well pressed into their positions so as to squeeze out a part of their mortar and leave the joints thin and compact. All joints shall be full of mortar and thickness of joints shall be between 5mm and 15mm. 5.3 Jointing Joints shall be restricted to a width of 10mm with brickwork of any classification. All bed joints shall be normal to the pressure upon them i.e. horizontal in vertical walls, radial in circular brick masonry and at right angles to the face in the battered retaining walls. The vertical joints in alternate courses shall come directly one over the other and shall be truly vertical. Care shall be taken that all the joints are full of mortar, well flushed up. In case no pointing is to be done, cement mortar shall be neatly struck as the work proceeds. The joints in faces which are to be plastered or pointed shall be squarely raked out to a depth of 12mm while the mortar is still green. The rake joints shall be brushed to remove loose particles. After the day's work, the faces of the brick work shall be cleaned on the same day with wire brush and all mortar droppings removed. 5.4 Curing Green work shall be protected from rain or any other running water or accumulated water from any source, by suitable means. Masonry work, as it progresses, shall be kept thoroughly wet by sprinkling water at regular intervals, on all faces. Curing shall be done after 24 hours of completion of day's work and shall be done for atleast 10 days after completion. Proper watering cans with spray nozzles, rubber or PVC pipes shall be used for this purpose. 5.5 Staging/scaffolding Staging/scaffolding shall be properly planned and designed by the Contractor. Use of
only steel tubes is permitted for Staging/scaffolding. Design of Staging/scaffolding shall be submitted for approval of the Engineer-in-Charge, before commencement of work. Single scaffolding having one set of vertical support, shall be used and other end of the horizontal scaffolding member shall rest in a hole provided in the header course. The support shall be sound and strongly clamped with the horizontal pieces over which the scaffolding planks shall be fixed. The holes left in the masonry work for supporting the scaffolding shall be filled and made good with plain cement concrete of grade 1:3:6 during plastering. Suitable access shall be provided to the working platform area. The scaffolding shall be strong enough to withstand all loads likely to come upon it and shall also meet the requirements specified in IS:2750. Double scaffolding shall be provided for pillars less than one metre in width or for the first class masonry or for a building having more than two storeys. The following measures shall also be considered during erection of the scaffolding/ staging. a. b. c. d. e. f. g.
