part of the structure. All spaces between foundation, masonry or concrete and
sites of excavation will be backfilled. Fill material will be spread in layers
manually or by grader in layers of uniform thickness not exceeding 250mm
compacted thickness over the entire width of the structure. Each layer of
approved materials will be thoroughly compacted after necessary watering by
means of small vibratory rollers/plate compactor or thoroughly rammed in
small areas where mechanical means cannot be deployed. Successive layers
will not be placed until the layers under construction have been thoroughly
compacted to the specified requirement of Table 300-2, i: e; 95% and 97% of
MDD at OMC for embankment and sub grade respectively.
6.2 Backfilling Behind abutment and Wing wall
Filling behind abutments and wing walls for all structures without weep-hole,
will be done with approved filling material. The fill material will be deposited in
loose thickness and compacted after necessary watering up to a thickness of
250mm, until the required compaction of 95% & 97% of MDD at OMC achieved,
for embankment & sub grade respectively. Filling will be carried out in equal
layers on each side of the structures to avoid displacement and unequal
pressure.
Where provision of any filter media is specified behind abutment (where weep-
hole exists), filter media as designed will be laid and compacted after
necessary watering up to a compacted thickness of 250mm until 95% & 97% of
MDD at OMC achieved, for embankment & sub grade respectively. The material
used for filter media will conform to the requirement for filter medium spelt
out in clause 2504.2 / 309.3.2.
If impracticable to use conventional rollers, the compaction will be carried out

by mechanical means like small vibratory roller/plate compactor. Care will be
taken to see that, the compaction Equipment does not hit or come too close to
any structural member, so as to cause any damage to them or excessive
pressure against the structure.

3.0 Procedure
3.1 Mix
The mix shall be proportioned with a maximum aggregate cement ratio of 15:1
and with minimum cement content of 150kG/cum. However, the proportions of
aggregate to cement can be increased based on the trial mix and performance
during the trail stretch. Trial mixes with moisture contents of 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 6.5
and 7.0 %shall be made using the above stated cement and blended
aggregates. Optimum moisture and density shall be obtained by making cubes.
These cubes shall be made in three layers, each layer being compacted with
electronic/pneumatic vibratory hammer of 300-400N downward force. After
the determination of moisture a set of 6 cubes shall be cast for determination
of compressive strength on 3 and 7 days. The average compressive strength of
each consecutive group of 5 cubes shall not be less than 10 MPa at 7 days. In

3.3 Trial Stretch
A trial stretch shall be made to the required width. The in-situ density of the
freshly laid concrete shall be determined by sand replacement method by
making 3 density holes at equal distances that diagonally bisects the trial
length, these shall not be made in the strip of 500mm from the edges. The
average of these shall be considered as 100%, and with this the field density of
the regular work shall be compared. The hardened concrete may be cut for 3m
width in the trial length and reversed to check the bottom surface for any
segregation or honey-combing, if found necessary adjustments shall be made
in the mix design.
3.4 Transportation and placing
The plant mix concrete shall be transported by sufficient number of trucks to

ensure continuous, uniform supply of concrete to feed the laying Equipment.

maximum scour level in length with inner diameter equivalent to nominal
diameter of the Pile, will be driven.
e. Position/center line of the liner/guide Casing pipe with reference to pile

reference points already fixed around the pile locations shall be checked to
shift/adjust the liner/casing pipe to ensure that drilling will be proceeded at
exact pile locations without any deviations.
f. The diameter of cutting tool/chisel will be 70 mm to 80 mm less than

outside diameter of casing/guide pipe for free movement of the chisel in the
casing pipe during drilling operation.
g. The bore hole will then be filled with Bentonite slurry. Bentonite
circulation channel shall be made from bore hole to Bentonite tank and fresh

QUALITY ASSURANCE
Bentonite slurry shall be pumped to drilling chisel via. Extension rods and
flexible tubes installed. Bentonite powder is to be mixed in the fresh water
tank at least 24 hours prior to start of Pile boring to ensure that Bentonite is
completely dispersed in the water and attains required density to stabilize the
sides of bore hole during drilling.
h. Bentonite used to stabilize the sides of bore hole should be conforming

to requirements. Density of Bentonite solution should be checked during
boring operation to ensure that the density is about 1.05 g/cc.
i. Bentonite slurry is pumped by high-pressure reciprocating

pumps/vertical pump into the bore hole through the cutting chisel and the
same is allowed to overflow the bore hole. The overflow slurry with bored
mud/soil etc. that comes out along with Bentonite slurry is passed through
channels and is collected in sediment tanks where sediments settle and
Bentonite can be re-used. If necessary, the Bentonite may be passed through
the de-sander tank to remove sand particles before it is re-used.
j. Boring will be done up to the founding strata as per drawings/

specifications etc.
k. After the founding stratum is reached, the bore will be flushed by

Bentonite slurry with direct mud circulation chisel/tremie pipe. The pumping
for the flushing will be done by use of mud circulation pump. During flushing,
the chisel will be kept resting on the founding strata to remove all the loose
sediments which might have accumulated on the founding strata. Further, the
flushing operation shall be continued till the consistency of inflowing and out-
flowing slurry is similar.
l. Depth of Pile shall be checked with sounding chain and exact depth
shall be recorded in the Pile report.
m. After flushing is over, the Chisel and connected DMC rods shall be
removed for further cage lowering and pile concreting operations.
5.2 Fabrication and Lowering of Reinforcement Cage:

d. Lapping /Staggering etc. as per drawing/specifications shall be provided.

Spiral rings shall be tack-welded to main bars of pile to ensure rigidity /stability
during cage lowering.
e. Before lowering of the cage thorough inspection shall be made along

with the Engineer.
f. After necessary inspection is over, the cage shall be lowed inside the
bore hole true vertically and it will be ensured that the cover blocks are not
damaged during lowering operation.
g. If two or more cages are to be lowered, all those cages shall be lapped
with minimum lap length as per relevant drawings/specifications; spirals shall
be placed round the lapped length and tack-welded to main bars. Also cover
blocks of required nos. shall be provided for lap length portion.
5.3 Pile Concreting
The following steps shall describe the Pile Concreting:
a. After lowering of Reinforcement cage the next activity is lowering of

tremie pipes of required diameter usually of 200 mm diameter
b. The tremie pipes shall be clean, watertight and of adequate diameter to

allow the free flow of Concrete. Before lowering, all the tremie pipes shall be
thoroughly checked and form oil to be applied inside the pipes for free flow of
concrete inside the tremie.
c. The length of tremie pipe (total individual joined pipes) shall be more
than the length of the pile and base of tremie pipe should be lowered to
bottom of the borehole, allowing water or drilling mud to rise inside it before
pouring concrete.

d. The top of the tremie pipe shall be fitted with a large diameter funnel to
receive the concrete with steel sealing plate arrangement at bottom of the
funnel.
e. Before start of Concreting operation, the bore hole shall be flushed with
fresh Bentonite slurry to flush out all loose particles, deleterious materials, if
any, present in the bore.
f. Before pouring the concrete through tremie, the bottom of the

concreting funnel should be closed with steel plate fitted with the funnel.
After the funnel is filled with concrete, the plate will be removed and concrete
discharged. Thereafter, Concreting will be done in a continuous manner up to
the required level.
g. It should always be ensured that the bottom of the tremie pipe is

minimum 2.0 meters within Concrete to avoid mixing of fresh concrete with
Bentonite slurry.
h. Slump of concrete shall be checked for each batch and recorded in

Concrete Pour report. (Slump of concrete shall be checked at Batching Plant
as well as at pouring location.)
i. Concreting of the pile should be uninterrupted. In the exceptional case

of interruption of concreting; but which can be resumed within 1 or 2 hours,
the tremie shall not be taken out of the concrete. Instead it shall be raised and
lowered slowly, from time to time to prevent the concrete around the tremie
from setting. Concreting should be resumed by introducing a little richer
concrete with a slump of about 200 mm for easy displacement of the partly
set concrete.
j. In case of withdrawal of tremie out of the concrete, either accidentally

or to remove a choke in the tremie, the tremie may be re-introduced in the
following manner to prevent impregnation of laitance or scum lying on the top
of the concrete already deposited in the bore.
k. The tremie shall be gently lowered on to the old concrete with very little
penetration initially. A vermiculate plug should be introduced in the tremie.
Fresh concrete of slump between 150mm - 200 mm should be filled in the
tremie which will push the plug forward and will emerge out of the tremie
displacing the laitance/scum in its way. When tremie is buried by about 60 to
100 cm, concreting may be resumed.

l. Theoretical and Actual Concrete built-up depth shall be checked with

sounding chains in between the Pile concreting operation and recorded.
m. Concrete in the pile is to be filled approximately 0.6 m (as per site

conditions) above the cutoff level to permit removal of all laitance and weak
concrete before capping and to ensure good concrete at the cut-off level for
proper embedment into the pile cap.
n. After concreting up to the required level is done, the casing pipe will be
withdrawn.
o. Pile concreting data shall be entered in the relevant formats for future
