Insertion – NIL
165
proposed to be transported by transit mixer, the mixing speed shall not be less than 4
rev/min. of the drum nor greater than a speed resulting in a peripheral velocity of the
drum 70 m/minutes at its largest diameter. The agitating speed of the agitator shall be
neither less than 2 rev/min nor more than 6 rev/min of the drum. The number of
revolutions of the mixing drum or blades at mixing speed shall be between 70 to 100
revolutions for a uniform mix, after all ingredients have been charged into the drum.
Unless tempering water is added, all rotation after 100 revolutions shall be at agitating
speed of 2 to 6 rev/min and the number of such rotations shall not exceed 250. The
general construction of transit mixer and another requirement shall conform to IS:5892.
b. In case concrete is to be transported by pumping, the conduit shall be primed by

pumping a batch of mortar through the line to lubricate it. Once the pumping is started,
it shall not be interrupted (if at all possible) as concrete standing idle in the line is liable
to cause a plug. The operator shall ensure that some concrete is always there in the
pump receiving hopper during operation. The lines shall always be maintained clean and
shall be free of dents at all stages.
c. Except where otherwise agreed to by the Engineer-in-Charge, concrete shall be

deposited in horizontal layers to a compacted depth of not more than 450 mm. Unless
agreed to by the Engineer- in-Charge, concrete shall not be dropped into place from a
height exceeding 1.5m. In order to avoid such situations chutes, tremie pipe or closed
bottom buckets shall be used. These shall be kept clean and used in such a way as to
avoid segregation. Slope of the chute shall be so adjusted that concrete flows without the
use of excessive quantity of water. The delivery end of chute shall be as close as possible
to the point of deposit. The chute shall be thoroughly flushed with water before and after
each working period and the water used for this purpose shall be discharged outside the
formwork. The concrete shall be compacted by using immersion type vibrators/ plate
vibrator. When the concrete is being continuously deposited to a uniform depth along a
member, vibrator shall not be operated within one meter of free end of the advancing
concrete. Every effort shall be made to keep the surface of the previously placed layer of
concrete alive so that the succeeding layer can be amalgamated with it by the vibration
process. In case the concrete in underlying layer has hardened to such an extent that it
cannot be penetrated by the vibrator but is still fresh (that is, just after initial set), un-
Correction -NIL
Insertion – NIL
166
imposed bond shall be achieved between the top and underlying layer by first scarifying
the lower layer before the new concrete is placed by systematically and thoroughly
vibrating the new concrete. The points of insertion of vibrator in the concrete shall be so
spaced that the range of action overlap to some extent and the freshly filled concrete is
sufficiently consolidated at all locations. The spacing between the dipping positions of
vibrator shall be maintained uniformly throughout the surface of concrete so that concrete
is uniformly vibrated. The vibrating head shall be regularly and uniformly inserted in the
concrete so that it penetrates of its own accord and shall be withdrawn slowly whilst
running so as to allow redistribution of concrete in its way and allow the concrete to flow
back into the hole behind the vibrator. The vibrator head shall be kept in one position till
the concrete within its influence is completely consolidated. Vibration shall be continued
until the coarse aggregate particle have blended into the surface but have not
disappeared. The contractor shall keep at least one additional vibrator in serviceable
condition to be used in the event of breakdowns and maintenance problems of the vibrator
in operation.
d. The vibrator head shall not be brought more than 200 mm near to the formwork as this
may cause formation of water stagnations. The formwork shall be strong and great care
shall be exercised in its assembly. It shall be designed to take up increased pressure of
concrete and pressure variations caused in the neighbourhood of vibrating head, which
may result in excessive local stress on the formwork. The joints of the formwork shall be
made and maintained tight and close enough to prevent the squeezing out slurry or
sucking in of air during vibration. The formwork to receive concrete shall be cleaned and
made free from standing water, dust, etc. The contractor shall keep provision for screed
and shutter vibrators at site.
e. No concrete shall be placed in any part of the structure until the approval of Engineer-
in-Charge has been obtained in pour card. If concreting is not started within 24 hours of
the approval being given, it shall have to be obtained again from the Engineering-
Charge. Concreting shall be done continuously over the area between construction joints.
Fresh concrete shall not be placed against concrete which has been in position for more
than 30 minutes unless a proper construction joint is formed. When concreting has to be
Correction -NIL
Insertion – NIL
167
resumed on a surface which has hardened, it shall be roughened, swept, clean, thoroughly
wetted and covered with a 13 mm thick layer of mortar composed of cement and sand in
the same ratio as in the concrete mix itself. The 13 mm layer of mortar shall be freshly
mixed and placed immediately before placing of new concrete.
f. Where concrete is not fully hardened, all latency shall be removed by scrubbing the wet
surface with wire or bristle brushes. Care shall be taken to avoid dislodgement of particles
of coarse aggregate. The surface shall then be thoroughly wetted, all free water removed
and then coated with neat cement grout. Particular attention shall be given to corners and
close spots.
In case of rejection of concrete on account of unacceptable compressive strength,

governed by para “Standard of Acceptance” as above, the work for which samples have
failed shall be redone at the cost of contractor. However, the Engineer-in-Charge may
order for additional tests (like cutting cores, ultrasonic pulse velocity test, load test on
structure on part of structure, etc) to be carried out at the cost of contractor to ascertain
if the portion of structure wherein concrete represented by the sample has been used, can
be retained on the basis of results of individual or combination of these tests. The
Contractor shall take remedial measures necessary to retain the structure as approved by
the Engineering-in- Charge without any extra cost. However, for payment, the basis of
rate payable to contractor shall be governed by the 28 days cube test results and reduced
rates. Concreting in foundation and building structure shall be done in presence of the site
engineer employed by the contractor. Special care shall be taken while casting of large
span structures as in 300 seater classroom, reaction wall and heavy floor of large infra
structure labs.
3.8. Formwork:

175
to prevent deterioration and corrosion. It is desirable to coat reinforcement with cement

wash before stacking to prevent scaling and rusting.
Bars of different classification, sizes and lengths shall be stored separately to facilitate
issues in such sizes and lengths so as to minimize wastage in cutting from standard
lengths.
In case of long storage, reinforcement bars shall be stacked above ground level by
at least 150 mm. Also in coastal areas or in case of long storage a coat of cement
wash shall be given to prevent scaling and rusting.
Structural steel of different classification, sizes and lengths shall be stored separately. It
shall be stored above ground level by at least 150 mm upon platforms, skids or any
other suitable supports to avoid distortion of sections. In coastal areas or in case of
long storage suitable protective coating of primer paint shall be given to prevent scaling
and rusting.
4.7 Handling & Installation of Strands
The strands are inserted or placed into the ducts, provided in the concrete structures.
Placement / Insertion of the strands can be done either prior to concreting or after
the concreting as well, but the insertion before the concreting is more dependable and
therefore, should be given more preference.
In this case, the ducts/sheathings must be tied firmly to the tendon supports or
reinforcement bars.
When the strands are inserted after concreting, necessary precaution should be taken
to prevent the sheathing duct, from getting clogged with cement slurry during
concreting. The most commonly used method is to insert a dummy pipe or mandrel
inside the duct and regularly agitate it during concreting procedure. This prevents
any settlement of cement slurry in the duct.
4.8 Necessary Precautions – For Installing Ducts & Strands
Fix the Sheathing duct firmly on the smaller end of the Guide or trumpet.
Test Certificate of the Pre-stressing Steel and Identification Label from the Strand Coil
should be kept in safe custody. These data sets are very important and shall be used
for Calculating the modified force and elongation at the time of carrying out stressing
Correction -NIL
Insertion – NIL
176
operation. Strand data from the “Identification label” and Tendon number, in which the
strand has been used, should be recorded in the Construction Book.
Strand should be uncoiled in such a manner that it does not get twisted and should
not be laid or dragged on soiled or rough surfaces. A wooden palate should ideally
be erected in the yard for dragging & laying the strands after de- coiling.
Strand should not be laid or dragged on soiled or rough surfaces. A wooden palate
should ideally be erected in the yard for dragging & laying the strands after de-coiling.
Strands should be cut evenly by an abrasive cutter in desired length.
Strands ends should be ground smooth, to prevent any damage to the duct during
insertion by pushing. If required a suitable bullet end can also be employed to have a
smooth insertion.
When the strands are pulled into the tendon ducts together in bundle, special care
should be taken to prevent the damage to the duct or the strands. Roller cradles can
be used to carry the tendons on the rough ground.
In case of threading of strands after concreting, it is recommended to use a De-Coiler
and the Strand Pushing Machine for uncoiling and threading of strands into the duct.
Before concreting, check the entire length of the ducts for any opening or damages. Seal
them firmly with the adhesive tape or any suitable sealant.
Both the ends of the duct should be closed after installation, and the strand ends
should be wrapped firmly with anti moisture wraps to prevent the ingress of any foreign
particles, cement slurry, concrete or moisture inside the duct. They may damage the
duct and the strands in long run.
Precaution should be taken to prevent the sheathing/ducts from getting damaged due
to the use of Needle vibrators during concrete. Damage or puncture of Sheathing may
cause a severe ingress of cement slurry into the duct and will result in blocking the
Strands up to certain length.Clogging of strands inside the duct will cause an unequal
elongation during stressing and will obstruct the passage during grouting.

4.9 Assembly of Prestressing and Reinforcing Steel

4.9.1 Pre-stressing Steel
4.9.1.1 Straightening
i. The wire, as supplied, shall preferably be self-straightening when uncoiled. If it is
not so, the wire may need to be mechanically straightened before use. In this
event, care shall be taken to avoid alteration in the properties of the wire during
the straightening process and preferably a test shall be made on a sample of the
wire after straightening.
ii. In no case heat shall be applied to facilitate straightening or bending of pre-
stressing steel.
4.9.1.2 Arrangement of Wires and Positioning
All pre-stressing steel shall be carefully and accurately located in the exact positions
shown in the design drawings. The permissible tolerance in the location of the pre-
stressing tendon shall be +/- 5 mm. Curves or bends in pre-stressing tendon required
by the designer shall be gradual and the pre-stressing tendon shall not be forced around
sharp bends or be formed in any manner which is likely to set up undesirable
secondary stresses.
The relative position of wires in a cable, whether curved or straight, shall be accurately
maintained by suitable means such as sufficiently rigid and adequately distributed
spacers.
The spacing of wires in a cable shall be adequate to ensure the free flow of grout.

the pre-stressing tendon shall, at a subsequent date and generally not later than one
week after pre-stressing, be given and adequate protection against corrosion.
Internal pre-stressing steel - Internal pre-stressing steel is best protected by a
cement grout preferably in colloidal form.
The grout shall be placed under pressure, and it shall be ensured that the entire
space between the duct and the pre-stressing tendon is properly filled with grout.
Where small ducts are encountered, it is advisable that water is flushed through prior
to grouting, care being taken to see that all water is subsequently displaced by grout.
In the case of butted assemblies, flushing with water shall be carried out only after the
jointing material has properly hardened.
Injection shall proceed from one end or preferably in case of curved ducts from the
lowest point of the curve, and shall be continued until the grout overflows from the
other end.
External pre-stressing steel - The protection of external pre-stressing steel is

usually best done by encasing the tensioned wires, cables or bars in a dense concrete
secured to the main concrete, for example, by wires left projecting from the latter. If
a cement-sand mix is used, the cover provided and its density should be adequate to
prevent corrosion. Alternatively, the steel may be encased in bitumen or, where the
steel is accessible for inspection and maintenance, paint protection may be
provided.
The anchorage shall be adequately protected against damage or corrosion soon after
the completion of the final stressing and grouting operations.

The vertical distance between groups shall not be less than 50 mm.
4.9.2. Sheaths and Extractable Cores

a. Sheaths shall be sufficiently water-tight to prevent concrete laitance penetrating
in them in quantities likely to increase friction. Special care shall be taken to
ensure water tightness at the joints.
b. They shall be preferably machine-manufactured and have bores sufficiently large
to allow being easily threaded on to the cable or bar in long lengths.
c. The tubes or sheaths shall be of such strength as not to be dented or
deformed during handling or concreting.
d. The alignment of all sheaths and extractable cores shall be correct to the
requirements of the drawings and maintained securely to prevent displacement
during placing and compaction of concrete. The permissible tolerance in the location

4.10 Pre-Stressing
4.10.1 Pre-stressing Equipment
4.10.1.1 Tensioning Apparatus
i. Pre-stressing steel may be tensioned by means of hydraulic jacks or similar

mechanical apparatus. The type of tensioning apparatus shall be such that a

effects on the steel, concrete, or on the anchorage.
ii. The anchorage provided for the temporary gripping of wires or bars on the
tensioning apparatus shall be secure and such as not to damage the wire or bar.
iii. Devices attached to the tensioning apparatus for measuring the applied force shall
be such that they do not introduce errors exceeding 5 percent.
4.10.1.2 Temporary Gripping Device – Pre-stressing tendons may be gripped by

wedges, yokes, double cones or any other approved type of gripping devices. The

that in a tensile test, the wire or wires fixed by them would break before failure of the
grip itself.
4.10.1.3 Releasing Device - The releasing device shall be so designed that during
the period between the tensioning and release, the tension in the Pre-stressing
elements is fully maintained by positive means, such as external anchorages. The
device shall enable the transfer of pre-stress to be carried out gradually so as to avoid
large difference of tension between wires in a tendon, severe eccentricities of pre-stress
or the sudden application of stress to the concrete.
4.10.1.4 Anchorage
i. The anchorage may consist of any device, patented or otherwise, which complies with
the requirements laid down under (ii) to (vi).
ii. The anchoring device shall be capable of holding without more than nominal slip, the

4.10.2 Procedure For Tensioning And Transfer
4.10.2.1 Stressing
The tensioning of pre-stressing tendons shall be carried out in a manner that will induce
a smooth and even rate of increase of stress in the tendons.
The total tension imparted to each tendon shall conform to the requirements of the
design. No alteration in the pre-stressing force in any tendon shall be allowed unless
specifically approved by the designer.
Any slack in the pre-stressing tendon shall first be taken up by applying a small initial
tension. The initial tension required to remove slackness shall be taken as the starting
point for measuring the elongation and a correction shall be applied to the total required
elongation to compensate for the initial tensioning of the wire. The extent of correction
shall be arrived at by plotting on a graph the gauge reading as abscissa and
extensions as ordinates: the intersection of the curve with the Y axis when extended
shall be taken to give the effective elongation during initial tensioning, and this
effective elongation shall be added to the measured elongation to arrive at the actual
total elongation.
The placement of cables or ducts and the order of stressing and grouting shall be so
arranged that the pre-stressing steel, when tensioned and grouted, does not adversely
affect the adjoining ducts.

Insertion – NIL
182
4.10.2.2.1 Measurement of Pre-stressing Force
The force induced in the pre-stressing tendon shall be determined by means of gauges
attached to the tensioning apparatus as well as by measuring the extension of the
steel and relating it to its stress-strain curve. It is essential that both methods are
used jointly so that the inaccuracies to which each is singly susceptible are minimized.
Due allowance shall be made for the frictional Josses in the tensioning apparatus.
The pressure gauges or devices attached to the tensioning apparatus to measure the
force shall be periodically calibrated to ensure that they do not at any time introduce
errors in reading exceeding 2 percent.
In measuring the extension of pre-stressing steel, any slip which may occur in the
gripping device shall be taken into consideration.
4.10.2.2.2 Transfer of Pre-stressing Force
The transfer of the pre-stress shall be carried out gradually so as to avoid large
differences of tension between wires in a tendon, severe eccentricities of pre-stressing
force and the sudden application of stress to the concrete.
Where the total pre-stressing force in a member is built up by successive transfers
to the force of a number of individual tendons on to the concrete, account shall be taken
of the effect of the successive pre- stressing.
In the long line and similar methods of pre-stressing, when the transfer is made on
several moulds at a time, care shall be taken to ensure that the pre-stressing force is
evenly applied on all the moulds, and that the transfer of pre-stress to the concrete is
uniform along the entire length of the tension line.
4.10.3 Grouting
The requirements of the grout are fluidity and low sedimentation (or bleeding) in the
plastic state. In the hardened state, it shall be dense, have low shrinkage and be durable.
The grouting technique adopted should be such that it can be carried out easily and

large diameter ducts, grout vents shall be provided at all crests and at intervals of 20
m to 30 m so that grout can be injected successively through vents as the grout flows
along the ducts. Where water is likely to enter ducts, valley vents shall also be provided
for drainage.
4.10.3.4 Grout Injection - Grouts should be injected from the lowest point or ‘uphill’
wherever practicable so that air and water in the duct, being less dense than the
grout, will be pushed ahead of the grout mix and be less liable to become entrapped
in the grout mix.
Grout mix shall be allowed to flow through vent openings until its consistency is equivalent
to that of the grout injected. Vent openings shall then be firmly closed one after the

other in the direction of flow. Once good grout mix has commenced to flow freely
from the end or ends of the duct, that end or ends shall be closed and the pressure
built up inside the duct to 0.7 N/mm’ before closing the injection end.
In the case of large ducts where pressure grouting cannot be used, a standpipe or
vent pipe shall be provided and kept topped up with cement for an hour or two to
replace grout losses due to wastage and subsidence at the termination of grouting
operation.
4.11 Transporting, Placing, Compacting and Curing

Provisions given in IS: 456 shall apply. In addition, the provisions given in 7.1.1 and
7.1.2 shall also apply.
The use of construction joints in pre-stressed concrete work should preferably be
avoided. But, if found necessary, their position and arrangement shall be predetermined
by the designer.
4.11.1 Jointing of Butted Assemblies
The joints of butted assemblies shall be made of either cement grout or cement mortar
or concrete. Grouting shall be used for joints up to 12 mm thick. For joints thicker than

joints exceeding 75 mm are encountered, the joint shall be made up of concrete.
The stressing operations may be carried out in case of mortar joints immediately after
placing the mortar but the stress in the mortar shall not exceed 7.0 N/mm2. In the case
of grouted joints and concrete joints the allowable stress in the first 24 hours after
placing of the grout or concrete in the joint shall approximate as closely as possible to
the strength of the grout or concrete used.

11.8.1 Floor Preparation: Each sub floor must be inspected to determine the special
care required to make it a suitable foundation for carpet. The floor must be clean, dry,
free from dust, grease, wax, curing agents, excessive alkalinity, paint, old adhesive and
any foreign substance that would prohibit proper bonding of the carpet to the subfloor.
11.8.2 New Concrete: New concrete must be cured, clean and dry. It must also be
free of curing or parting agents that interfere with the bonding of the adhesive. If the
concrete has a powdery surface, a sealer compatible with the adhesive must be used to
provide a suitable surface for direct glue installations.
11.8.3 Temperature and Humidity: The environment in which carpet is to be installed

must be controlled with the temperature between 65oF and 95o F (18o C and 35o C) and
the relative humidity between 10% and 65%. The subfloor temperature should not be
less than 65o F. These conditions must be maintained for at least 48 hours before, during
and after the installation. Carpet and adhesive must also be acclimatized in these
conditions. Any changes in temperature could cause difficulties with the installation.
11.8.4 Direct Glue: After roll sequencing is established and carpet is dry laid, glue half
of the roll with the longest pattern measurement and half of the roll with the next longest
pattern measurement lengthwise. Apply seam sealer and power stretch the roll with the
shorter pattern measurement to match the longer one by starting in the center of the
seam and stretching towards the ends.
11.8.5 Row Cutting Seams: Beaulieu Commercial requires all seams to be row cut with
exception to printed patterns. Be sure to row cut edges o pattern, trimming off a
sufficient number of rows from each side. This procedure creates a good cutting surface
and removes any potential loose edges. No tufted pattern carpet will be matchable unless
this row-cutting requirement is strictly observed. The steps required in row cutting
involve:
1. Reviewing the tufted pattern for the correct place to trim edges.
2. After verifying where to trim edges, use an awl orflat blade screwdriver to open
the tufted row, to create a cutting guide.
3. Use a loop pile or cushion back cutter to trim along the row.
4. Be sure to replace cutting blades as often as needed.

11.8.6 Printed Patterns: The only exception to row cutting seams is when installing
printed patterns. Because printed patterns are created on the carpet after tufting, the
patterns will not necessarily follow the rows of tufts. Use a metal straight edge as a guide
to cut from pattern to pattern. Do not attempt to cut long distance between two patterns
by popping a chalk line. Slight variations in the carpet might cause you to cut too far into
some patterns that extend beyond your straight line. At the same time, you would not be
cutting far enough into pattern that don’t meet the line.
11.8.7 Base for Flocked textile flooring:
Flocked textile sheet shall be fixed on 40mm thick cement concrete 1:2:4 (1 Cement: 2
coarse sand: 4 graded stone aggregate 20 mm nominal size) flooring. Self levelling
compound as mentioned below, shall be used above the CC flooring to make a uniform
level.
11.8.7.1 Self levelling Compound:
2 - 3 mm average thick layer of cementations smoothening compound of UZIN NC 149

SH or equivalent including a priming compound of UZIN PE 360 SH or equivalent as per
manufacturer recommendation shall be applied on concrete surface to provide smooth &
homogenous surface as per direction of Engineer-in-charge.
11.8.8 Installation: Flocked Textile floor sheeting should be installed in accordance with
manufacturer’s recommendations. Sub-floors must be smooth, hard, clean and dry before
laying commences. It must also be free of curing or parting agents that interfere with the
bonding of the adhesive. Uneven solid or suspended timber sub-floors may need
preparation to meet the required standard. Store Flocked Textile sheets standing on end
and acclimate material for 24 hours in a uniform room temperature between 18ºC and
27ºC prior to installation. All sub-floors must be tested for moisture content prior to
installation. Use FloorworX No. 60 Plus Acrylic Adhesive. Sheets shall not be reversed for
seaming. Install with arrows all pointing in the same direction. Whenever possible, run the
arrows toward the main light source. Install sheets running lengthwise in corridors. Butt
factory trimmed edges for seaming. Note: Do not use a stretcher or knee kicker on Flocked
Textile sheet. Trim the excess material at doorways and walls using a carpet knife or edge

HDPE pipes conforming to IS 4984:2016 of material grade PE – 100 (pressure rating PN10
or PN12.5 as mentioned in the drawing of approved make shall be used for water supply.
Necessary fixtures such as bend, tee, coupler etc shall be provided the places required.
Valves, Pressure release valves etc. shall be provided as per the drawing, inside the
chambers of required sizes as per CPWD Standards. The diameter and pressure ratings
shall be as per the design and as specified in the drawing.
15.1.3 Laying and Jointing of HDPE Pipes
Laying and jointing of the pipes shall be done as specified in IS 4984: 2016. While laying
the pipe in trenches, the bed of the trench should be level and free from sharp edged
stones. While laying in rocky areas suitable bed of sand or gravel (minimum 150mm thick)
should be provided. The initial back fill about minimum 150mm above the pipe should be
sand or gravel.
Jointing of two pipes shall be done through Butt-Welding. The method of butt-welding shall
be as below:
a) The ends of the pipes to be joined are cut vertically at right angles with a fine-toothed
saw and trimmed with a file to make both ends smooth so that the pipes when pressed
together are without leaving any gap.
b) Both the inside and outside surfaces of the ends of the pipes are scraped (up to about
½” from the end) with a sharp scraper to remove the thin oxidized layer.
c) It is necessary to see that there are no extraneous particles of dust, mud, grease,
polyethylene powder etc. at the joining portion of the pipes.
An electrical HEAT MIRROR (Hot Plate) is used for heating the ends of the pipes. The pipes
are pressed flush against the flat surface of the Heat Mirror, one on each side horizontally,
and held in that position under slight pressure. The Heat Mirror is maintained at a steady
Correction -NIL
Insertion – NIL
243
temperature of 200°C. with the help of THERMOSTAT. After a while, a slight rim is formed
at the ends of the pipes both inside and outside. When a rim of about 1/10” to 1/8” is
formed, the pipes are pulled apart and the Heat Mirror is quickly withdrawn. Then the two
ends of the pipes are brought together face to face so that the molten portions come into
contact with each other. Then the pipes are drawn back very slightly (without separating
the joined molten portion) and then again the pipes are pressed together with a moderate
pressure of about (1 to 1.5 kg/cm²). This ensures that all air bubbles are squeezed out.
The pipes are held in that position until the pipe-joint cools off naturally in atmospheric air.
When a perfect joint is made, the rims cohere in such a way that there is only a very fine
slight depression between the two rims. If the top surface of the rim is too flat, it will be
because the pipe is overheated. If there is too much of depression (groove) between the
rims, the pipe is under-heated. The rims should not be cut off or erased from the joints.
Also, correct alignment of the pipes will help in joining the pipes perfectly, as otherwise
there will be reduction in the area of the joining surface rendering the joint weak and
imperfect. Flange joints are to be used where pipe connected to valve or other material
pipe.
15.1.4 Testing:
All pipes, fitting and valves, after fixing at site, shall be tested by hydrostatic pressure of
1.5 times the working pressure.Pressure shall be maintained for a period of at least thirty
minutes without any pressure drop.A test register shall be maintained and all entries shall
be signed and dated by Contractor (s) and Project Manager.

2.10 Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity Method of Test for RCC

• The underlying principle of assessing the quality of concrete is that
comparatively higher velocities are obtained when the quality of concrete in
terms of density, homogeneity and uniformly is good. The consistency of the
concrete as regards its general quality gets established. In case of poorer quality
lower velocities are obtained. If there are cracks, voids or flaws inside the concrete
which come in the way of transmission of pulse, lower velocities are obtained.
• The quality of concrete in terms of uniformity, incidence or absence of
internal flaws, cracks and segregation etc. indicative of the level of workmanship
employed, can thus be assessed using the guidance given in table below, which
have been evolved for characterizing the quality concrete in structure in term of
the ultrasonic pulse velocity.

4 Below 3.0 Doubtful
Note : In Case of “doubtful” quality it may be necessary to carry further

tests.
• Pulse velocity method of test of concrete is to be conducted for CPWD

works as a routine test. The acceptance criteria as per the above table will be
applicable which is as per IS 13311 (part-1): 1992. From the above “Good” and
“Excellent” grading are acceptable and below these grading the concrete will not
be acceptable.
• 5% of the total number of RCC members in each category i.e. beam, column,
slab and footing area may be tested by UPV test method for establishing quality of
concrete. It is suggested that test be conducted on RCC beam near joint with
column, on RCC column near joint with beam, on RCC footings and rafts. On
RCC rafts a suitable grid can be worked out for determining number of tests. In
addition doubtful areas such as honeycombed locations, locations, where
continuous seepage is observed, construction joints and visible loose pockets will
also be tested.
• The test results are to be examined in view of the above acceptance criteria
“Good” and “Excellent” and wherever concrete is found with less than required
quality as per acceptance criteria, repairs to concrete will be made. Honeycombed
areas and loose pockets will be repaired by grouting using Portland Cement
Mortar/Polymer Modifies Cement Mortar /Epoxy Mortar ,etc. after chipping loose
concrete in appropriate manner. In areas where concrete is found below

CPWD Hand Book on Repairs and Rehabilitation of RCC Buildings).Repair to
concrete will be done till satisfactory results are obtained as per the acceptance
criteria by retesting of the repaired area. If satisfactory results are not obtained
dismantling and relaying of concrete will be done.
