approved fabric mats kept continually wet.
 Curing can be done as per the approved curing compound as per the
manufactures recommended.

13
J213-MS for Reinforcement ,Formwork & Concrete Works

o
1 Beam sides, walls, and columns 1 Day
2 Soffits of slabs with back propping 4 days (Props Left under)
3 Soffits of beams with back 10 days (Props Left under)
propping
4 Removal of Props to slabs /beam 7 days upto 4.5m span , 14 days
morethan that

7.0 HEALTH AND SAFETY:
