any event of Force Majeure shall,
(a) constitute a default or breach of the Contract; or
(b) subject to GC Sections 9.4(2), 9.9(3) and 9.9(5), give rise to any claim for
damages or additional Cost occasioned thereby, if and to the extent that
such delay or non-performance is caused by the occurrence of an event of
Force Majeure.

for a single period of more than 60 days or an aggregate period of more than 120
days on account of one or more events of Force Majeure during the term of the

of the Services sustains destruction or damage by reason of any War Risks, the
Owner shall pay the Contractor for,
i. any part of the New Facility or the Plant and Equipment so destroyed or
damaged, to the extent not already paid for by the Owner;
ii. replacing or making good any Contractor’s Equipment (Design-Build),
Contractor’s Equipment (Operations) or other property of the Contractor
so destroyed or damaged; and

otherwise materially affect the execution of the Contract by the Contractor, the
Contractor shall use its reasonable efforts to execute the Contract with due and
proper consideration given to the safety of its and its Subcontractors’ personnel
engaged in the work on the Services. If the execution of the Services becomes
impossible or is substantially prevented for a single period of more than 60 days
or an aggregate period of more than 120 days on account of any War Risks, the
Parties will attempt to develop a mutually satisfactory solution, failing which
either Party may terminate the Contract by giving a notice to the other.

obligations of the Owner and the Contractor shall be as specified in GC Section
11.2.1(2) and 11.2.2(1).
If, after a date which 30 days is prior to the Submission Deadline in the Bidding
Documents, in the Country, any law, regulation, ordinance, order or by-law having the
force of law is enacted, promulgated, abrogated or changed, which shall be deemed to
include any change in interpretation or application by the competent authorities, that
subsequently affects the costs and expenses of the Contractor or the Time for
Completion, the Contract Price shall be correspondingly increased or decreased, or the
Time for Completion shall be reasonably adjusted to the extent that the Contractor has
thereby been affected in the performance of any of its obligations under the Contract.

technically practicable, taking into account both the state of advancement of the
Design-Build Services and the technical compatibility of the Change envisaged
with the nature of the Design-Build Services as specified in the Contract.
(2) The Contractor may from time to time during its performance of the Contract
propose to the Owner, with a copy to the Project Manager, any Change that the
Contractor considers necessary or desirable to improve the quality, efficiency or

objection, the percentage increase or decrease in the Contract Price that any
Change not objected to by the Contractor represents.

mutually agree upon all matters therein contained. No later than 14 days after

1. Introduction
1.1 General
1.3 Stakeholders
Barwani has a tropical climate. May is the hottest month in the year and
December is the coldest. The peak temperature of the city during day time is
42°C to 45°C in May and low temperature during night is 10°C in December.
Humidity during rainy season is about 70%. The climate can be distinguished
into three distinct seasons, viz.
Monsoon lasting from mid-June to September.
Winter from November to February; and
Summer from March to mid-June.
The month of October witnesses the transition from monsoon to winter.
Winds are controlled by the shifting of pressure belts. They are predominantly
from southwest to North West during monsoon months. In the post-monsoon and
winter, winds blow from north-east to south-west and during summers, winds
blow from west to east. Average wind velocity is 9 km/h.
The Figure below provides the details of monthly rainfall received by Barwani,
Hoshangabad, Mandla, Narsinghpur and Sendhwa for last 5 years:
Barwani is situated abutting Narmada River and the general slope of the city is
towards the river in South-North direction. Northern boundary of the city is river
Narmada. Barwani is very rich in fertile alluvial soil.
The topography of Barwani city and its surroundings is such that the natural
drainage system generally slopes towards South-North. There are three major
natural drains that carry the wastewater and storm water. Of these three Nallahs,
two major Nallah flow through the city and meet each other beyond the
municipal boundary and ultimately discharges itself into Narmada river. Third
Nallah captures a very small catchment area of the city which drains itself to the
agricultural fields.
There are no areas as such within the municipal limit which are under the threat
of submergence but during rainy season rain water does not drain immediately
which results into water logging in some of the slum areas.
As per the 2014 Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) map, Barwani falls in Zones
III i.e. Moderate Active Zone. Seismic factor proposed by India Meteorological
Department (IMD) for the purpose of design of Civil Engineering structures shall
be incorporated suitably while designing the structures. The Seismic Zone Map
of India showing all the project sites is presented in the following figure.
The existing infrastructure for water supply is presented in the table hereunder.
The next table provides an overview on connections as of August 2016.
Huge efforts have been undertaken by the GoMP to improve the sector
substantially. Aiming at 100% connection rate and 24/7 water supply, works an
ongoing in all 5 project towns. This covers rehabilitation and extension projects
as well. It is worth mentioning that all designs were carried out for a specific per
capita consumption of 135 lpcd. This value was applied uniformly without
taking into account additional consumption by industry, commerce or
institutions. Estimated NRW was set at optimistic 15%. Minimum pressure is 0.7
bar (7 m). As soon as all ongoing rehabilitation and extension projects are to be
finalised, the water supply systems for all towns will be able to aim for 24/7. It
can thus be stated than in the frame of this project no measures in water supply
infrastructure are required.
1.12 Existing Wastewater System
Most of the existing houses are RCC / Brick masonry structures. The people are
having modern amenities and facilities in houses. Accordingly the people are
willing to have an integrated sewerage system so that the sewage collection and
treatment can be done in systematic manner and the town may have the clean
and hygienic environment.
STP based on extended aeration Process (SBR Technology) shall be provided for
treatment of sewage. The STP technology is being selected primarily taking into
consideration less land requirement and effluent characteristics as per CPCB, so
that treated water can be discharged into inland water ways which are being
potential drinking water sources.
The STPs shall be constructed for a 1st stage based on the requirements for the
year 2033, the design shall be done for the year 2048.
Land for the sewage treatment plants were identified with the ULB officials.

European Standards unless specified otherwise.
Workability - slump
Prior to pouring the workability of all concrete shall be tested. The slump shall
not vary from that of the corresponding approved trial mix described in the
relevant European standard.
Strength
The concrete shall be tested by taking cubes directly from the mixers.
Compression strength of these test cubes shall be according to the compliance
criteria. The test cubes taken for compliance control shall be 10 or 12 cm edged
cubes. The test cube that will be used in compliance control will have the same
shape and dimensions as those used for mix design.
Except for the test cubes necessary for compliance control, the Owner may
request the Contractor to take more test cubes to control the strength at an earlier
age, control the concrete hardening progress or make other special tests.
Test cubes with defects from bad compaction or injury will not be included in
the compliance control. For this reason, one more cube shall be taken in each
sample. If after the removal of forms no cube is found to be defective, the
additional cube will not be included in the compliance control but can be used to
control strength at an earlier age. The concrete placed each day in each separate
concrete class, shall be one batch represented by one sample. If the work requires
continuous placing for more than one day (sliding formwork), the concrete shall
be divided into theoretical batches, according to the construction stage (e.g. day
placing, night placing). All cubes shall be marked with an identification number
or letter. The Contractor shall record the following information immediately after
each cube is made and shall forward copies to the Owner and the testing
laboratory:

Rainfall
Concrete shall not be placed during heavy rainfall. Freshly laid concrete shall be
suitably protected by tarpaulin or other means, so that if heavy rain falls before
the concrete has sufficiently hardened, there will be no chance of the rain
washing away the cement and fine aggregate or of marking the finished surfaces.
Hot weather
The Contractor takes into account and neutralises the effects of high
temperatures on the storage and use of any admixture proposed. Water-storage
tanks and cement silos shall be shaded from prolonged strong sunlight. Where
shading is not possible, all external surfaces shall be covered and painted with a
reflective coating. Water supply pipes shall be buried underground. Aggregates
shall be stored in the shade but should be exposed to the wind as much as

surfaces. All connecting pipework and any other components which pass through
the structural members under test shall be installed prior to the test being carried
out. Any additional test required by the Contractor at an earlier stage of
construction shall be carried out at his expense.
Water from the mains shall be used for water testing. The structures shall be
filled with water at a rate approved by the Owner. After allowing a period of
seven days for absorption, the water level shall be recorded by a hook gauge with
a vernier attachment or by other approved means, and the water shall be allowed
to stand for a period of seven days, during which the total permissible drop, after
allowing for evaporation and rainfall, shall not exceed 0.001 times the average
water depth of the full tank or 10 mm whichever is the lesser amount.

The structural property of the system suggests that a minimum cover of 500 mm
is adequate even for maximum quantum of superimposed (live) load.
In case of wider trenches than required (above table), the permission of the
competent authority shall be necessary.
The bedding area is an essential portion of Back fill Envelope and shall be
constructed with proper bedding material as computed in accordance with
appropriate national code of practice for structural bedding design mentioned in
the list of normative references under IS 16098-2.The bedding shall be laid to
specified thickness and gradient with proper manual compaction of the
aggregate.
The moulded on-line coupler (or separate coupler integrated to the pipe in case
of lower sizes) will have a suitable internal surface to push-fit the said end over
the spigot end of the next pipe. On first valley of the corrugation of said spigot
end (destined to receive the pushed coupler), the sealing rubber ring of standard
quality (as specified in relevant BIS Code) shall be placed so that the coupler end
of the pipe smoothly but tightly slides over the sealing ring for making an
absolute watertight joint. Similar system is also used for fabricated accessories or
moulded fittings required such as Tee, Bends, Elbows, Reducer end caps for the
purpose of installation of the system related to drainage/sewerage.
For connections the following steps are to be ensured, failing which the
performance aspects are to be severely compromised:
The non-coupler (socket) end needs to be thoroughly cleared and shall be
free from any foreign material
Clean and lubricate the coupler end of the pipe, if required.
Lubricate the exposed Gasket in the same manner, if required.
Keep the non-coupler end free from dirt, backfill material, and foreign
matter so that the joint integrity is not compromised.
Push the coupler onto the non-coupler end and align properly. Always push
coupler end onto non-coupler end.
For smaller diameter pipes simple manual insertion shall be sufficient. It should
be ensured that the coupler end is adequately ‘homed’ on non-coupler end to
ensure installation and tight joining seal. Therefore prior to insertion always
place a ‘Homing Mark’ on appropriate corrugation of the ‘Non-Coupler End’.
For pipes to be cut on site, manufacturer shall provide extra coupler that shall
match the dimensions of the products (at cost).
Construction of backfill envelope and final backfilling of the trenches
DWC Piping System with well compacted Backfill Envelope along with the
bottom and sides of trench (native soil) work together to support soil overburden
and superimposed (traffic) loads. The carefully constructed Backfill Envelop has
three distinct but non-isolated stages. The construction need to be done stage by
stage as per the sequence stated below:

quantities that the thickness of each compacted layer is not more than 100 mm
for Grading 1 and 75 mm for Grading 2 and 3, as specified in specifications
above. Wherever possible, approved mechanical devices such as aggregates
spreader shall be used to spread the aggregates uniformly so as to minimize
the need for manual rectification afterwards. Aggregates placed at spread in
one or more layers by any approved means so as to achieve the specified results.
The spreading shall be done from stockpiles along the side of the roadway or
directly from vehicles. No segregation of large or fine aggregates shall be
allowed and the coarse aggregate as spread shall be of uniform gradation with no
pockets of fine material.
The surface of the aggregates spread shall be carefully checked with templates
and all high or low spots remedied by removing or adding aggregates as may be
required. The surface shall be checked frequently with a straight edge while
spreading and rolling so as to ensure a finished surface as per approved drawings.
The coarse aggregates shall not normally be spread more than 3 days in advance
of the subsequent construction operations.
(d) Rolling - Immediately following the spreading of the coarse aggregate,
rolling shall be started with three wheeled power rollers of 80 to 100 KN
capacity or tandem or vibratory rollers of 80 to 100 KN static weight. The type
of roller to be used shall be approved by the Project Manager based on trial run.
Except on super-elevated portions where the rolling shall proceed from inner
edge to the outer, rolling shall begin from the edges gradually progressing
towards the centre. First the edge/ edges shall be compacted with roller running
forward and backward. The roller shall then move inward parallel to the centre
line of the road, in successive passes uniformly lapping preceding tracks by
at least one half width.
Rolling shall be discontinued when the aggregates are partially compacted with
sufficient void space in them to permit application of screenings. However,
where screenings are not to be applied, as in the case of crushed aggregates like
brick metal, laterite and kankar, compaction shall be continued until the
aggregates are thoroughly keyed. During rolling, slight sprinkling of water may
be done, if necessary. Rolling shall not be done when the sub-grade is soft or
yielding or when it causes a wave-like motion in the sub-grade or sub-base
course.
The rolled surface shall be checked transversely and longitudinally, with
templates and any irregularities corrected by loosening the surface, adding or
removing necessary amount of aggregates and re-rolling until the entire surface
conforms to desired cross fall (camber) and grade. In no case shall the use of
screenings be permitted to make up depressions.
Material which gets crushed excessively during compaction or becomes
segregated shall be removed and replaced with suitable aggregates.
(e) Application of screenings - After the coarse aggregate has been rolled to as
per above specification, screenings to completely fill the interstices shall be
Madhya Pradesh Urban Sanitation and Environmental Programme Page 233 of 257
VOLUME 3 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
applied gradually over the surface. These shall not be damp or wet at the time
of application. Dry rolling shall be done while the screenings are being spread
so that vibrations of the roller cause them to settle into the voids of the coarse
aggregates.
The screenings shall not be dumped in piles but be spread uniformly in
successive thin layers either by the spreading motions of hand shovels or by
mechanical spreaders, or directly from tipper with suitable grit spreading
arrangement. Tipper operating for spreading the screenings shall be so driven as
not to disturb the coarse aggregate.
The screenings shall be applied at a slow and uniform rate (in three or more
applications) so as to ensure filling of all voids. This shall be accompanied by
dry rolling with mechanical brooms, hand-brooms or both. In no case screenings
shall be applied fast and thick as to form cakes or ridges on the surface in such a
manner as would prevent filling of voids or prevent the direct bearing of the
roller on the coarse aggregate. These operations shall continue until no more
screenings can be forced into the voids of the coarse aggregate. The spreading,
rolling, and booming of screenings shall be carried out in only such lengths of
the road which could be completed within one day’s operation.
(f) Sprinkling of water and grouting - After the screenings have been applied,
the surface shall be copiously sprinkled with water, swept and rolled. Hand
brooms shall be used to sweep the wet screenings into voids and to distribute
them evenly. The sprinkling, sweeping and rolling operation shall be continued,
with additional screenings applied as necessary until the coarse aggregate has
been thoroughly keyed, well-bonded and firmly set in its full depth and a grout
has been formed of screenings. Care shall be taken to see that the base or sub-
grade does not get damaged due to the addition of excessive quantities of water
during construction.
In case of lime treated soil sub-base, construction of water bound macadam on
top of it can cause excessive water to flow down to the lime treated sub-base
before it has picked up enough strength (is still “green”) and thus cause damage
to the sub-base layer. The laying of water bound macadam layer in such cases
shall be done after the sub-base attains adequate strength, as directed by the
Project Manager.
(g) Application of binding material - After the application of screenings in
accordance with the above clause, the binding material where it is required
to be used shall be applied successively in two or more thin layers at a slow
and uniform rate. After each application, the surface shall be copiously
sprinkled with water, the resulting slurryswept in with hand brooms, or
mechanical brooms to fill the voids properly, and rolled during which water
shall be applied to the wheels of the rollers if necessary to wash down the
binding material sticking to them. These operations shall continue until the
resulting slurry after filling of voids, forms a wave ahead of the wheels of the
moving roller.
Madhya Pradesh Urban Sanitation and Environmental Programme Page 234 of 257
VOLUME 3 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
(h) Setting and drying - After the final compaction of water bound macadam
course, the pavement shall be allowed to dry overnight. Next morning hungry
spots shall be filled with screenings or binding material as directed, lightly
sprinkled with water if necessary and rolled. No traffic shall be allowed on the
road until the macadam has set.
The Project Manager shall have the discretion to stop hauling traffic from using
the completed water bound macadam course, if in his opinion it would cause
excessive damage to the surface. The compacted water bound macadam course
should be allowed to completely dry and set before the next pavement course is
laid over it.
The finished surface of water bound macadam shall conform to the tolerance of
surface regularity as prescribed in the relevant IS standards. However, where the
surface irregularity of the course exceeds the tolerances or where the course is
otherwise defective due to sub-grade soil mixing with the aggregates, the course
to its full thickness shall be scarified over the affected area, reshaped with added
material or removed and replaced with fresh material as applicable and re-
compacted. In no case shall depressions be filled up with screenings or binding
material.
During the period of construction, the arrangement of traffic shall be done by the
Contractor in accordance with the applicable clause of this section.

concrete along the face of all joints and around all tie bars and dowels shall be
compacted with an internal vibrator inserted in the concrete and worked along
the joint and around all tie bars and dowels to ensure a concrete free from
honeycombing.
Types of joints - There are three general types of joints. These are:
Expansion joint - Such joint provides the space into which pavement can
expand thus relieving compressive stresses due to expansion and inhibiting any
tendency towards buckling of concrete slabs.
Contraction joint - Such joint relieves tensile stresses in the concrete and
prevents formation of irregular cracks due to restraint in free contraction of
concrete. Contraction joints also relieve stresses due to warping.
Madhya Pradesh Urban Sanitation and Environmental Programme Page 245 of 257
VOLUME 3 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Warping joint - Such joint relieves stresses due to warping. These are
commonly used for longitudinal joints dividing the pavement into lanes.
In addition, construction joints are provided whenever construction operations
require them. These are full depth joints and may belong to any of the above
types.
All joints shall be carefully installed in accordance with the location and details
given on the plans.
Madhya Pradesh Urban Sanitation and Environmental Programme Page 246 of 257
VOLUME 3 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
with an edging tool. For facilitating removal of the mild steel section as well as
edging operation, the top of the section may be flared on both sides with the
required curvature of a rounded edge.
Under no circumstances shall any concrete be left above the expansion joint
filler or across the joint at any point. Any concrete spanning the ends of the
joint next to the forms shall be carefully cut away after the forms are removed.
b. Transverse contraction joints - These shall be placed as shown on the
drawing and shall be of the weakened plane or "dummy" groove type. They
shall be constructed byforming in the surface of the slab a slot not less than 6
mm wide and having a depth equal to one -third to one -fourth the depth of
the pavement at the thinnest part of its section. This slot may be formed in a
manner approved by the Project Manager such as by pushing into the
concrete a flat bar or the web of a "T" bar using a suitable vibratory device,
removing the bar, and keeping the slot open. It shall be ensured that no spalling
of concrete occurs while removing the bar. The edges of the joint shall be
rounded with an edging tool before the concrete hardens.
c. Transverse construction joints - These shall be placed whenever placing of
concrete is suspended for more than 30 minutes. Excepting in the case of
emergency, construction shall always be suspended at the regular site of
expansion or contraction joints. If the construction joint is located at the site of
an expansion joint, regular expansion joint shall be provided; if at the site of a
contraction joint or otherwise, the construction joint shall be of butt type with
dowels.
At all construction joints, bulkhead shall be used to retain the concrete and care
shall be taken in striking off and finishing the surface to the top face of the
bulkhead. When work is resumed, the surface of concrete laid subsequently,
shall conform to the grade and cross -section of previously laid pavement, and a
straight edge 3m in length shall be used parallel to the centre line, to check any
deviation in the surface of the two sections. Any deviation from the general
surface in excess of 3 mm shall be corrected.
These shall be of the plain butt type and shall be formed by placing the concrete
against the face of the slab concreted earlier. The face of the slab concreted
earlier, shall be painted with bitumen before placing of fresh concrete.
Tie bars shall be used at longitudinal joints and they shall be of the dimensions
and at spacing shown in the construction drawing. Tie bars shall be supported so
as not to be displaced during construction operations. Tie bars shall be bonded
in the slabs across longitudinal joints, and whilst casting the first slabs, they
may be bent so that one end of them lies along the forms. After removal of the
forms, bars shall be straightened so that they extend into the concrete placed on
the other side of the joint.

become mixed with earth or other foreign material shall not be used. They shall
be washed clean before use.
c. Batching of materials
All batching of materials shall be by weight or volume as approved by the
Project Manager. The proportion of ingredients shall be as specified in the item
of work in Bill of Quantities, The Project Manager may permit the use of
fractional bags of cement provided they are accurately weighed and are handled
in a manner meeting with his approval. Water may be measured by volume. It
should, however, be borne in mind that weigh batching is definitely much more
desirable than volume batching. If batching by volume is permitted, as a special
case, separate measuring boxes shall be provided for the different aggregates.
The boxes shall be of strong construction provided with handles for convenient
lifting and loading into the mixer. They shall be of such size that it should be
possible to measure out the requisite quantity of aggregate per batch in whole
box or by multiples thereof and capable of being lifted by two men. Each box
shall be provided with a straight edge of required length for striking off after
filling. If so directed by the Project Manager, improved facilities such as tipping
boxes of accurate capacity working on run - out rails arranged for direct delivery
into the hopper of the mixer shall be provided by the construction agency. In
volume batching, suitable allowance shall be made for the hulking of fine
aggregate due to the presence of water. For this purpose the bulking shall be
determined as per relevant Indian Standard Specification.
d. Mixing
General - The mixing of concrete shall be done in a batch mixer of approved
type, which will ensure a uniform distribution of materials throughout the mass,
so that the mix is uniform in colour and homogeneous. All concrete shall be
mixed in quantities for immediate use.
The mixer shall be equipped with approved water -measuring device capable of
accurate measurement of water required per batch. The mixer shall preferably be
equipped with a mechanically operated pump for filling the mixer tank.
The mixer, if so specified, shall be equipped with an approved timing device
which will automatically lock the discharge lever during the full time of mixing
and release it at the end of the mixing period; the device shall also be equipped
with a ball, adjusted to ring each time the lock is released. If the timing device
gets broken, the mixer will be permitted to be used while the same is being
repaired, provided an approved time -piece equipped with minute and second
bands is provided. Each batch shall be mixed for at least one and a half
minutes. Spilling of the materials at either end of the mixer shall be corrected by
reducing the size of the batch and in no case shall the volume of the mixed
material per batch exceed the manufacturers guaranteed capacity of the mixer.
The type, size and number of mixers shall be so chosen as to provide the
required output without overloading. The mixing speed of the drum shall not be
less than 15 revolutions per minute nor the peripheral speed of the drum greater
than 60 m per minute. The batch of cement, fine aggregate and coarse aggregate
Madhya Pradesh Urban Sanitation and Environmental Programme Page 249 of 257
VOLUME 3 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
shall be fed into the mixer simultaneously with the water being introduced either
at the same time or before the dry materials. The entire contents of the drum
shall be discharged before any materials are placed therein for the succeeding
batch.
The skip shall be so maintained and operated that each batch will be completely
discharged into the mixing drum at the loading of the mixer. The mixer shall be
cleaned at suitable intervals while in use.
Pick -up and throw -over blades in the drum of the miner which are worn down
20 mm or more in depth shall be replaced with new blades.
Time of mixing - The mixing of each batch will continue not less than one
and half minute after all the materials are discharged into the mixer.
Re-tempering - The re-tempering of concrete i.e. remixing with or without
additional cement, aggregate or water shall not be permitted.
Madhya Pradesh Urban Sanitation and Environmental Programme Page 250 of 257
VOLUME 3 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
The concrete shall be mixed in quantities required for immediate use and shall be
deposited on the sub -base to the required depth and width of the pavement
section, in successive batches and in continuous operation without the use of
intermediate forms or bulk -heads between joints. Care shall be taken to see that
no segregation of materials results whilst the concrete is being transported
from the mixer to the place where it is deposited. The usual method of
transport of concrete in India is in pans as head loads or in small wheel barrows.
The spreading shall be as uniform as possible to avoid re- handling of the
concrete. Where, however, a certain amount of re -distribution is necessary, it
shall be done with shovels and not with rakes. While being placed, the concrete
shall be tamped with suitable tools for slab thicknesses of 12.5 cm and less so
that formation of voids or honeycomb pockets is prevented. The concrete shall
be particularly well placed and tapped against the forms and along all joints, for
higher thicknesses an internal vibrator shall be employed in lieu of rodding of the
concrete. To effect adequate compaction, the concrete shall be placed with
appropriate surcharge over the final slab thickness. The amount of surcharge
will depend on the mode of placement of concrete and shall be determined by
trial. In general, the required surcharge is about 20 per cent of the required slab
thickness. Any portion of the batch of concrete that becomes segregated while
depositing it on sub-grade shall be thoroughly mixed with the main body of the
batch during the process of spreading. In case of unavoidable interruption, a full
depth transverse joint shall be made at the point of stoppage of work provided
the section on which the work has been suspended is about 2 to 3 hours long. In
placing of concrete for two course construction, necessitated by either
positioning of the reinforcement, a richer mix for the wearing surface, or when
thickness of the concrete is beyond 20 cm, the bottom layer of concrete shall be
struck off to the required levels by a vibrating screed working on the side forms
with notches corresponding to the depth of the top course of concrete.
The vibrating screed should have a vibrating unit mounted on it similar to that of
the screed used for compaction of the final surface of concrete. The time lag
between laying of the two courses shall not exceed the initial setting time of
cement.
Madhya Pradesh Urban Sanitation and Environmental Programme Page 251 of 257
VOLUME 3 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
more than 100 mm as measured from the centre of the Joint to the ends of
longitudinal bars or wires of the sheet or mat.
While overlapping the sheets or mats in either direction, the overlap shall be
at least equal to the spacing between the bars or wires in the respective direction
or 40 times the diameter of the bar or wire, whichever is more.
Whilst using reinforcement in one layer, the concrete shall be placed in two
stages. Theinitial layer shall be uniformly struck off to a depth corresponding to
the reinforcement shown in the drawings and lightly compacted by a screed to
obtain uniform levels. The reinforcing fabric sheet or bar mat shall then be
placed on the compacted layer of concrete and remaining depth shall be filled
in with concrete thereafter.
In doing this operation, the initial layer of concrete shall be struck off to the
entire width of the slabs and of sufficient length to permit sheet or mat of
reinforcement to be laid full length without further manipulations of the
reinforcement. Displacement of the reinforcement during concreting operations
shall be prevented.
b. Load transfer devices - dowels - Transverse expansion joints shall be
equipped with dowels of the dimension and at the spacing and location indicated
on the drawing. They shall be firmly supported in place, accurately aligned
parallel to the sub-grade/sub -base, parallel to each other and parallel to the
centre line of the pavement, by means of appropriate dowel supports. The dowel
supports shall ensure that the dowels are not displaced during construction. The
permissible tolerances in dowel bar alignment in both vertical and horizontal
directions shall be 1 mm in 100 mm for dowels of 20 mm and smaller
diameters and 0.5 mm in 100 mm for dowels of diameter greater than 20 mm.
One -half of each dowel shall be painted with a thin film of bitumen and
equipped with a tight fitting metal sleeve of the dimensions shown on the
drawing to provide space for the dowel when pavement expands and the join
closes. This sleeve shall be partly filled with cotton waste to prevent it being
pushed too far on the dowel during construction.
These sleeves are not required on dowels, if used, in dummy contraction or
construction joints.
c. Tie bars - Tie bars provided in longitudinal joints of plain butt type to prevent
opening of such joints shall be bonded to the adjacent slabs on both sides of the
longitudinal joint. They are installed by providing appropriate (drilled) holes in
the side forms depending on the size and spacing of bars. They are bent aside
temporarily to avoid obstruction to construction traffic and straightened later at
the time of laying of slab in the adjacent lane.
Madhya Pradesh Urban Sanitation and Environmental Programme Page 252 of 257
VOLUME 3 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
where the slab thickness is more than 12.5 cm. For lesser thicknesses vibrating
screed may be supplemented with manual rodding. For areas where the width
of the slab is very small as at the corner of street junctions, etc. compaction with
wooden hand tampers may be adopted subject to the approval of the Project
Manager. In no case, however, hand compaction shall be permitted for slab
thicknesses beyond 10 cm. All compaction shall be done in accordance with the
following requirements:
(i) Where hand tamping is permitted as a special case.
(ii) Concrete with surcharge, as soon as placed, shall be struck off uniformly
and screeded, 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 and the tamping operation continued
until a close knit dense surface is obtained.
(iii) The tamper shall rest on the side forms and shall be drawn ahead with a
sawing motion, in combination with a series of lifts and drops alternating with
lateral shifts, the aim of this operation being compaction and screeding to the
approximate level required. Subsequent tamping should advance about 75 mm
at a time in the direction in which the work is proceeding, and in the final
stages tamping should be closer, about 12 mm at a time until a level and dense
surface is obtained.
(iv) Segregated particles of coarse aggregate which collect in front of the
tamper or screed shall be thrown outside the forms or thoroughly mixed by hand
with the uncompacted mass of concrete already placed. Under no circumstances
shall such segregate particles be carried forward and pushed on to the base in
front of the mass.
(v) Compaction by tamping or screeding shall be carried on till the mortar in
the mix just works up to the surface. Care shall be exercised and the operation of
tamping so controlled as to prevent an excess of mortar and water from being
worked on to the top. Repeated operation other than to secure the necessary
compaction and to eliminate voids shall be avoided.
(vi) Immediately after the tamping or screeding has been completed and before
the concrete has hardened, While the concrete is still in a plastic stage, the
surface shall be inspected for irregularities with a profile checking template and
any needed correction made by adding or removing concrete followed by further
compaction and finishing.
Floating - As soon as practicable after the concrete has been compacted, its
surface shall be smoothened by means of a longitudinal float, operated from a
foot -bridge. The longitudinal float shall be worked with a sawing motion, while
held in a floating position parallel to the carriageway centre line and passed
gradually from one side of the pavement to the other. Movements ahead along
the centre line of the carriageway shall be in successive advances of not more
than one half the length of the float.
Madhya Pradesh Urban Sanitation and Environmental Programme Page 253 of 257
VOLUME 3 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Straight-edging –After the longitudinal floating has been completed and excess
water has disappeared, but while the concrete is still plastic, the slab surface
shall be tested for trueness with a 3 m straight edge. The straight edge shall be
held in successive positions parallel to the road centre line in contact with the
surface and the whole area gone over from one side of the slab to the other.
Advance along the road shall be in successive stages of not more than one -
half length of the straight edge. Any area of depression found shall be
scooped to a depth of 4 -5 cm, filled immediately with freshly mixed concrete,
struck, compacted, and re-finished. High areas shall be cut down and refinished.
The straight edging and re-floating shall continue until the entire surface is found
to be free from observable departures from the straight edge and the slab has the
required grade and camber.
The slab surface shall be retested for trueness, before the concrete begins to set,
with the 3 m long master straight edge and the graduated wedge gauge.
The straight edge shall be placed on the surface in successive positions, parallel
to the carriageway centre line. Irregularities shall be measured with the help
of the wedge gauge moved transversely at various points until it touches both
the straight edge and the concrete surface.
At any point tested the concrete shall not show a departure greater than 3 mm
from the true surface. If at any place the departure exceeds this value not more
than 3 passes of the vibrating screed shall be allowed and the surface tested
again in the specified manner. If the irregularity still exceeds the limit aforesaid,
the concrete shall be removed to a depth of 50 mm or up to the top surface of the
reinforcement, if any. The area of concrete to be removed shall be demarcated by
the length of the straight edge in the position of measurement across the full
width of the slab. Where the point of measurement in default is less than 4.5m
from the nearest transverse expansion joint, the whole area up to the joint
shall be removed to the required depth. The concrete so removed shall not be re -
used in the carriageway. Fresh concrete shall be placed, compacted and
finished in the manner already described in these specifications and shall again
be subject to test for accuracy of finish.
The foregoing procedure shall be adopted at each shifting of the straight edge
and the whole area shall be gone over from one side of the slab to the other. The
straight edge shall advance longitudinally in successive stages of not more than
one -half the length of the straight edge.
No extra payment shall be made for the removal of the rejected concrete and or
laying fresh concrete.
Although the concrete may be removed immediately following measurement of
the irregularity and while it is still wet, this shall not mean any waiver from
complying with the requirements of this clause, if for any reason the concrete to
be removed has already hardened.
After straight edging of the surface, it shall be finished by brooming in the
manner described as mentioned in the following paragraphs.
Madhya Pradesh Urban Sanitation and Environmental Programme Page 254 of 257
VOLUME 3 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Brooming - After belting and as soon as surplus water if any has risen to the
surface, the pavement shall be given a broom finish with an approved long
handled steel or fiber broom conforming to the stipulations laid down in JRC -
43 -1972. The broom shall be pulled gently over the surface of the pavement
from edge to edge. Adjacent strokes shall be slightly overlapped. Brooming shall
be perpendicular to the centre line of the pavement and so executed that the
corrugations thus produced will be uniform in character and width, and about
5mm deep. Brooming shall be completed before the concrete reaches such a
stage that the surface is likely to be torn or unduly roughened by the operation.
The broomed surface shall be f r e e f r o m p o r o u s or rough spots,
irregularities, depressions and small pockets, such as may be caused by
accidentally disturbing the particles of coarse aggregate embedded near the
surface.
Curing of concrete - Immediately after the finishing operations have been
completed, the entire surface of the newly laid concrete shall be covered against
rapid drying and cured. Failure to provide sufficient cover material of the
stipulated type or inadequate supplies of water for curing shall be adequate
cause for immediate suspension of concreting operations.
Initial curing - After completion of the finishing operations, the surface of the
pavement shall be entirely covered with wet hessian cloth, burlap or jute mats.
The coverings used shall be of such length (or width) that when laid will extend
at least 500 mm beyond the edges of the slab, shall be so placed that the entire
surface and both the edges of the slab are completely covered. They shall be
placed as soon as the concrete has set sufficiently to prevent marring of the
surface. Prior to their being placed, the coverings shall be thoroughly wetted
with water and placed with the wettest side down. They shall be so weighed
down as to cause them to remain in intimate contact with the surface covered.
They shall be maintained fully wetted and in position for 24 hours after the
concrete has been placed, or until the concrete is sufficiently hard to be walked
upon without suffering any damage. To maintain the coverings wet, water shall
be gently sprayed so as to avoid damage to the fresh concrete. If it becomes
necessary to remove the coverings for any reason, the concrete slab shall not be
kept exposed for a period of more than half an hour.
Worn coverings or coverings with holes shall not be permitted. Coverings
reclaimed from previous use other than curing concrete shall be thoroughly
washed prior to use 'for curing purposes, if the covering is furnished in strips, the
strips shall be laid to overlap at least 150 mm.
Covering shall be placed from suitable wooden bridges (IRC -43 -1972).
Walking on freshly laid concrete to facilitate placing coverings shall not be
permitted.
Final curing- Upon the removal of the covering the slab shall be thoroughly
wetted and then cured by one of the following methods of final curing -
Curing with wet earth - Exposed edges of the slab shall be banked with a
substantial berm of earth. Upon the slab shall then be laid a system of transverse
