DETERMINATION OF NORMAL CONSISTENCY OF


CEMENT

(IS : 4031 [Part 4])


Procedure:

 Weigh 300gm of cement and place it on a glass plate mix with water starting from
25% and prepare a paste.

 Fill the paste in vicat’s mould without forming any air bubbles and strike off the
excess paste.

 Place and fill mould under the plunger of vicat apparatus. Lower the plunger gently
to touch the surface of the test block and quickly release.

 Note the reading of penetration when the plunger stops penetrating.

 Repeat the test with increased percentage of water till the plunger penetrates to a
point 5 to 7 mm from the bottom of the mould.

 The percentage of water corresponding to that particular penetration, gives the


normal consistency of cement.

GOVERNMENT POLYTECHNIC ARAKERE Page 17

cement); start the stop watch at the time of adding water to the cement.

 Fill the paste in the vacate mould and smooth off the surface.

 Place the mould under the rod of vicat apparatus bearing the needle. Lower the
needle gently to bring it in contact with the surface of the mould , and quickly
release.

 Note down of the penetration of needle.

 Repeat the procedure of penetration un till the needle fails yo penetrate beyond a
point, 5 +/- 0.5 mm from the bottom of the mould.

GOVERNMENT POLYTECHNIC ARAKERE Page 18

The time period lapsed, between instant at which water is added to the cement to the
time at which the needle gives the specific penetration, gives the initial setting time of
the cement.

Final setting time

 Replace the needle of vacate apparatus with the angular attachment.

 Lower the angular attachment to the surface of the test block and gently release.

 Repeat the procedure un till the needle makes an impression on the surface of the
mould, while the angular attachment fails to do so.

 Note down the time elapsed, between the instant at which water is added to the
cement to the end point specified, which gives the final setting time of the cement

Site :- Kaveri Grameena Bank,

Main Branch, Mysore

Introduction
A slab is structural element whose thickness is small compared to its own length
and width. Slabs are usually used in floor and roof construction. According to the way
loads are transferred to supporting beams and columns, slabs are classified into two
types; one-way and two-way.

One-way slabs:

When the ratio of the longer to the shorter side (L/ S) of the slab is at least equal
to 2.0, it is called one-way slab, shown in Figure 8.1.a. Under the action of loads, it is
deflected in the short direction only, in a cylindrical form. Therefore, main
reinforcement is placed in the shorter direction, while the longer direction is provided
with shrinkage reinforcement to limit cracking, as shown in Figure 8.1.b. When the slab
is supported on two sides only, the load will be transferred to these sides regardless of
its longer span to shorter span ratio, and it will be classified as one-way slab.

Two way slab

Two-way Slabs: When the ratio (L/ S) is less than 2.0, it is called two-way slab,
shown in Figure 8.2. Bending will take place in the two directions in a dish-like form.
Accordingly, main reinforcement is required in the two directions.

CEMENT CONCRETE ROAD

Site :- Kumarabeedu Near Bogadi, Mysore


Construction of rigid pavements

The construction of cement concrete road involves the following operation

a) Preparation of subgrade : A subgrade to receive the road slab is prepared to

required grade and profile in the usual manner. The profile is checked by scratch

templates. Unevenness concrete is to be placed directly on subgrade the surface

should saturated with water 6 to 20 hours in advance before placing the concrete

b) Provision of sub-base : when natural subgrade is not very firm, a sub-base over

the subgrade is required.

GOVERNMENT POLYTECHNIC ARAKERE Page 37


Inplant Training Department of civil engineering

c) Placing of forms: concrete road slab is constructed between side forms. These

forms are made of mild steel channel sections in 3m length. The depth of form is

equal to the thickness of concrete pavement.

d) Batching of materials and mixing: the fine and course aggregates are properly

proportioned by weight in a weigh batching plant. Then they are fed into the

hopper along with necessary quantity of cement

Mixing of concrete mix is done in a batch mixture. Cement, sand and coarse

aggregates of a batch are fed into the mixer simultaneously. Water is added and

mixing is done for one and a half minute.

e) Transporting and placing of cement: a properly mixed concrete is carried and

deposited on subgrade or sub-base to the required depth and width of the

pavement section. While placing the concrete, it is roallded properly to avoid

voids.

When the reinforcement is specified, the concrete has to be placed two stages. In

first, the concrete is placed and compacted to the required depth according to

drawing and placing the reinforcement on the top of compacted concrete and

then remaining thickness of slab is filled in second stage

f) Compaction: after placing the concrete in position, compaction of road slab is

done by means of power driven machine. Upto 12.5cm thickness of slabs, screed

vibrators alone can be used, for grater thickness, screed vibrator with immersion

vibrator is used.

GOVERNMENT POLYTECHNIC ARAKERE Page 38


Inplant Training Department of civil engineering

g) Floating: after compaction, the entire slab structure is floated longitudinally with

a wooden float board. The purpose of floating is to provide an even surface free

from corrugations, then unevenness of the surface is checked with a wooden

edge 3m long which should not be more than 3mm

h) Belting: after floating, the surface is further finished by belting just before the

concrete becomes hard. It consist of drawing 20cm wide canvas belt across the

pavement in short strokes to provide non-slippery and skid resistant surface

i) Brooming : after belting, brooming is done by drawing brushes at right angles to

the centre line of the road from edge to edge. It is done just before the concrete

becomes non-plastic

j) Edging : the edges of the slabs are carefully finished after brooming with an

edging tool before the concrete is finally set.

k) Curing : intial curing is done by proper spraying of water during hardening

period. This is started immediately after the concrete becomes non-plastic and

final curing is done after intial curing of 24 hours, by ponding or by using a

water-proof paper for 2-3weeks.

l) Filling of joints and edging : after curing, the structure is cleaned an washed.

Then the joints are properly filled-in with a suitable sealing compound

m) Opening to traffic : after attaining the required strength by concrete or after

28days of curing, the road is opened to traffics
