Materials –
A) Workability : The following procedure is adopted for testing workability;
(i) There should be mentioned of specified workability as per grade requirement and site
requirement in the tender document
(ii) After making sure that the concrete has been uniformly mixed, take a sample from the first 0.5
cum. of concrete discharge and do a sump (of compacting factor) test on the sample. If the result
complies with the specified requirements, then the load should be accepted. If the results are
beyond limit, a further sample should be taken from the second 0.5 cum. of the discharge and if
this is satisfactory, the load should be accepted, if not the concrete load should be rejected, as the
same is not as per the specification range. Permissible variation in sump shall be 10 mm as per IS:
4926-1976.
B) Cement Content : Cement content for cubic meter of Ready Mix Concrete shall be mentioned
for each grade of concrete. The minimum cement content in the various grades of concrete shall
be as per design mix for a particular grade of concrete. The mix design shall confirm to one of the
methods specified in IS: 10262 or IRC 44. However preferable the mix design should be done as

design shall be approved from Govt. laboratory. The grade of cement shall be mentioned in the
contract documents. Cement shall have to be got tested at the Govt. laboratory or the laboratory
approved by the Engineer in Charge.

C) Water : The contractor/ manufacturer shall have to make their own arrangements of potable
water for using in mixing of concrete and for curing purpose. It shall meet the requirement as per
IS: 456-2000.
D) Sand : Sand shall be of approved quality with fineness modulus between 2.4 to 3.5 as per
approved mix design. The sand will have to be screened to remove the oversize particles and
washed to reduce the silt contents below 5% by volume after one hour & to bring it within
the permissible range of fineness modulus. Blending of sand of fine and coarse quality may be
permitted at mix design stage to achieve the required fineness modulus, if it is found necessary to
give desired results. The fine aggregates will be tested as directed by Engineer in Charge.
E) Coarse Aggregate : Specified sizes of aggregates mentioned in design mix shall be used by
manufacturer of RMC plant. Client shall confirm the quality of sand used for concrete. If coarse
aggregate are found having white spots, the same shall be got tested from approved testing
laboratory to eliminate possibility of potential aggregate alkali reactivity before accepting or using
spotted aggregates. The manufacturer should make the necessary arrangements to stock the
aggregates separately so that they do not get mixed up with each other and/or with the foreign
materials and do not get segregated. The screening of the aggregates shall be done if found
necessary as directed by the Engineer in Charge.
F) Compressive Strength : Compressive Strength testing shall be carried out on site for 7 days,
14 days and 28 days strength. The water content shall be the minimum required to provide the
specified workability for full compaction of the concrete to the required compaction of the concrete
to the required density. The maximum water cement ratio shall be 0.40. At least three sets
consisting of 4 cubes from different loads for testing the compressive strength for each days work.
One cube from each set shall be tested for 7 days, 14 days and 28 days strength in presence

Admixtures, (iii) Water Reducing Admixtures, (iv) Air Entraining Admixtures,
Proportioning Mix - In ordinary concrete, although proportion of cement to fine and coarse
aggregate is specified by volume, the quantity of cement shall be determined by weight assuming
one bag of cement weighing 50 Kg. nett to be equivalent to 35 litres. Fine and coarse aggregates

shall be measured by dry volumes in suitable wooden boxes. Due allowance shall be made for
bulking in the fine aggregate due to moisture if any, at the time of mixing.
Ingredients required for concrete containing 50 Kg. bag of cement for different proportions of mix
will be as under :-
Mix Cement Fine Coarse Water
aggregate aggregate
1 2 3 4 5
1:1:2 50Kg 50Kg 100Kg 23-27 litres
1:1.5:3 50Kg 75Kg 150Kg 23-30 litres
1:2:4 50Kg 100Kg 200Kg 27-32 litres
1:3:6 50Kg 150Kg 300kg 37.5-45 litres
1:4:8 50Kg 200Kg 400kg 47.5-57 litres
1:5:10 50Kg 250Kg 500Kg 56-68 litres
In case of slabs special mixes with smaller size aggregates shall be taken out and placed below
bottom steel to obtain dense cover. The ratio of the volumes of the fine and coarse aggregates
may be varied within limits of 1:1.5 to 1:2.5 as directed by the Engineer to suit the maximum size of
coarse aggregate, the grading, density, workability and strength without extra cost. But the sum of
the volumes of the fine and coarse aggregates so adjusted shall however be equal to the sum of

the volumes of fine and coarse aggregates given above for a particular mix. The quantity of water
shall be just sufficient, but not more than sufficient, to produce a dense concrete of required
workability for its purpose. An accurate control shall be kept on the quantity of mixing water.
An allowance shall be made for surface moisture present in the aggregates when computing water
content as indicated in I.S. 456-1978. In the case of reinforced concrete work, the workability shall
be such that the concrete will surround and properly grip all the reinforcement. Water cement ratio
will such as will give concrete just sufficiently weight to be placed and compacted without difficulty.
For vibrated concrete, water content may be reduced by 15% to 20% to give the required reduced
slump.
Mixing -
For all important works concrete shall be mixed in mechanical mixer at the site of work. Care shall
be taken to see that the mixer and other accessories are in first class working condition especially
the blades which have to extend right up to the bottom of the drum. Trial mix shall be taken out to
ensure good mixing. Mixing shall be continued till there is uniform distribution of the materials and
a uniform colour is obtained and each individual particle of the coarse aggregate shall show a
complete coating of mortar containing its proportionate amount of cement. In no case mixing shall
be done for less than 1.5 minutes. The water cement ratio shall range between 0.55 to 0.64 for
1:2:4 mix. When hand mixing is permitted by the Engineer it shall be done on a smooth water tight
platform large enough to allow efficient turning over of the ingredients of concrete before and after
adding water. Mixing platform shall be so arranged that no foreign matter shall get mixed with
concrete nor the mixing water shall flow out. The cement in required number of bags shall be
placed in a uniform layer on top of the measured quantity to fine aggregate required, also spread in
a layer of uniform depth in the mixing platform. Dry sand and cement then shall be mixed
thoroughly by turning over to get a mixture of uniform Colour. Enough water shall then be added
gradually through a rose and the mass turned over till a mortar of required consistency is obtained.
The measured quantity of coarse aggregate shall then be placed on a mixing platform and wetted
and the mortar added and the entire mass turned and returned until all the particle of the coarse
aggregate are fully covered with mortar and mixture is of a uniform colour and required
consistency. In hand mixing, quantity of cement shall be increased by 5% above that specified in
para. B.5.3 without any extra cost. Concrete shall have a consistency such that it will be workable
in the required position and in the case of R.C.C., flow around reinforcing steel also. For vibrated
concrete, slump shall range between 2.5 cm. to 5 cm. For hand tamped concrete, slump shall
range between 8 cm. to 13cm.according to the type and nature of the concrete item. The slump
shall be least permitted by workability and maintained throughout the concreting operation of a
member. The concrete shall be placed in its final position and rammed, vibrated and finished within
30 minutes of adding water to cement. Re-tempering or remixing of partially hardened concrete
shall not be permitted.
Scaffolding -
All scaffolding, hoisting arrangements and ladders, etc., required for the facility of concreting shall
be provided by the contractor at his own expense and removed on the completion of work. The

scaffolding, hoisting arrangements and ladders, etc., shall be strong enough to withstand all live,
dead and impact load expected to act and shall be subjected to the approval of the Engineer.
However the contractor shall be solely responsible for the safety of scaffolding,
hoisting arrangement, ladders, work and workmen. The contractor shall pay the necessary
compensations arising out of the use of the scaffolding hoisting arrangements and ladders and for
damages to work, properties and injuries to persons. The scaffolding, hoisting arrangements and
ladders shall allow easy approach to work spot and afford easy inspection.
Forms - Forms shall generally comply with I.S.456-1964,para.7.2.
Materials -
The forms and false work shall be made of wood or metal. The timber from which the forms are
prepared should preferably be partially seasoned as too dry a timber will swell for absorption of
moisture while green timber will dry and shrink. It shall be free from sap, shakes, loose knots,
wormholes or other defects. The plants and scantlings shall be sawn straight and all edges and
planes shall be straight and free from warps. Partially seasoned soft wood is generally preferable
for formwork as it is difficult to drive nails in hard wood. The dimensions of scantlings should
conform to the design. The strength of the wood shall not be less than that assumed in the design.
In metal form, steel sheets of designed gauge strengthened with framing of angle or other sections
shall be used. Wooden forms may also be lined with thin steel sheets or plywood to give the
required surface or finish.
Fabrication -
The timber plans and scantlings of designed dimensions shall be used in the formwork with
appropriate spacing of studs, yokes, joists, girders, etc., as provided in the design. All timber in
contact with concrete shall be wrought on one face and two edges, the unwrought face being on
the outside. The joints should be made mortar tight. This may be done either by providing tongued
and prooved or rebated. joints or by caulking or nailing metal strips or applying adhesive tape on
the joints. The forms shall be built with sufficient strength and rigidity and held in shape by bolts,
clamps, ties, nails, wales or other contrivance to prevent distortion or collapse due to pressure of
concrete and other loads incidental to the construction operations. The nuts and bolt heads inside
the formwork adjoining the concrete should be countersunk. The formwork should allow finish
concrete to have a smooth surface and conforms to the shapes, lines and dimensions shown on
the plans and true to line and grades. The effect of vibration shall be taken into account in the
design and fabrication of forms and falsework. Forms shall be so designed and constructed as to
be removable in sections without damaging the surface of the concrete and with facilities of
removal in the ascending order of removal time, without disturbing the remaining forms required to
be removed later.
Treatment of inside of forms - Before placing concrete, the inside of the forms which comes in
contract with concrete shall coated with mineral oil or any other suitable material approved by the

Engineer which will prevent adhesion to concrete to the forms but will not discolour the concrete.
When oil is used, it shall be applied before reinforcement is placed. Care shall be taken to see that
reinforcement does not came in contact with the coating. All chipping, saw dust and other rubbish
shall be removed from the interior of the forms before concrete.
False work - Falsework shall be built on foundation or base of sufficient strength to carry the loads
without settlement. Falsework which can not be founded on solid footing must be supported by
piles or other similar devices. Falsework shall be designed to carry the full loads including that due
to construction operations coming upon it.
Erection - Falsework and formwork shall be erected with an eye for absolute safety of the
formwork and concrete work before, during and after pouring concrete. Watch must be kept to see
that the behaviour of centering and formwork is satisfactory during concreting. Erection should also
be such that it would allow removal of forms in proper sequence without damaging either the
concrete or the forms to be removed later. If there is failure of falsework and/or formwork the
contractor shall be responsible for all the consequent damages to work, injury to life and damage
to property.
Inspection - The forms and falsework will be inspected, checked and approved by the Engineer
before concreting is commenced. But this will not relieve the contractor of his responsibilities for
strength, adequacy and safety of the formwork and falsework.
Removal of forms - Formwork shall be removed carefully without damaging the concrete or giving
sudden shocks. It should be ascertained from the exposed sides of concrete that it has gained
adequate strength before the bottoms and supports of the formwork are removed Unless otherwise
specified in the special provisions, forms of concrete work using ordinary Portland cement may be
struck after expiry of the following periods in normal circumstances :-
1) Vertical faces of all structural 28 hrs. to 48 hrs. members,
wall
(2) Slabs (props left under) 3 days
(3) Beam soffits (props left under) 7 days
(4) Slabs spanning upto 4.5 m. 7 days

(5) Slabs spanning over 4.5 m. 14 days
(6) Beams spanning upto 6 m. 14 days
(7) Beams spanning over 6 m. 21 days
For Pozzolana Grade 43 or Grade 53 and other types of cements the striking period may be
suitably modified. In important structures, the sequence of striking formwork shall be approved by
the Engineer.
Reuse - Before reuse, all forms shall be thoroughly scraped and cleaned, joints gone over and
repaired and the insides retreated to prevent adhesion, all to the entire satisfaction of the Engineer.
The shape, strength, rigidity, mortar tightness and surface smoothness of reused forms shall be
maintained at all times.
Transporting - The concrete shall be handled from the place of mixing to the final position as
quickly as practicable by methods which will prevent segregation and loss of ingredients. In no
case shall the operation take more than 15 minutes.
Placing -
The concrete shall be placed into its final position, compacted and finished within 30 minutes of
mixing the water and before setting commences. The method of placing shall be such as to avoid
segregation. Placing shall be done in a balanced manner to avoid eccentric loads on formwork. As
far as practicable the concrete for a particular portion shall be done in one continuous operation.
The construction joints when required shall be made only where located on the plans or shown in
the pouring schedule unless otherwise approved by the Engineer. The joint shall be regular and
vertical and shall be made by placing a bulk head at the joint. Before commencing subsequent
concreting, all loose particles, laitance, etc., shall be removed and the surface shall then be
covered by thick cement slurry as part of placement. Care shall be taken during the placing not to
disturb the forms or the reinforce-ment. Concrete compacted manually, shall preferably be laid in
layers of 15 cm. to 20 cm. the layers being decided by the time lapse between the successive
layers. The time of laying one layer shall not exceed 30 minutes. The successive layers shall
commence within 30 minutes. When work is to be resumed on a surface which has hardened,
such a surface shall be roughened and scrubbed with brushes to remove laitance, care being
taken to avoid dislodgement of coarse aggregate, swept clean, thoroughly wetted and covered with
6mm. thick mortar layer composed of cement and sand in the same proportion as the cement and
sand in the concrete, immediately before the commencement of concrete, for securing good bond.
The concrete shall be normally laid in the dry. If the area is under water, it shall be pumped dry and
kept so while placing concrete and till it sets. Where it is necessary to deposit concrete under
water, it shall be done as per I.S. 456-1964* para. 13.2. No extra payment will be made for the

special arrangements, plant, etc., need for the purpose or for the additional 10% cement required
to be added.
Compacting -
The concrete shall be thoroughly compacted during depositing to get a dense concrete and
thoroughly worked into the edges and corners of the formwork as also along its faces and around
reinforcement in the case of R.C.C., by means of suitable tools such as spades and rods to get a
good cast finish without honey combing. Concrete shall not be disturbed once it is set. For
important or big works where stiffer mix with less slump is adopted, use of mechanical vibrators is
essential. The vibrators shall have not less than 3600 and preferably about 5000 impulses per
minute and shall be worked at an interval of about 60cm. It shall be worked in one place for only
such time as will allow formation of dense concrete without sinking and segregation of the coarse
aggregate. Over vibration shall be avoided. Vibration shall be aided by spading and rodding.
Curing -
The concrete shall be initially protected from damage on account of impact, undue pressure,
excessive heat of sun, rain, etc., and covered with wet sacking, hessian or similar absorbent
material soon after the initial set. After the final set the concrete shall be kept continuously wet
preferably by pounding water for a period of not less than 14 days from the date of placement. On
Sundays, holidays and days of cessation of work, arrangement shall be made to keep the concrete
continuously watered. Should the contractor fail to water the concrete continuously, the Engineer
may provide labour, materials and equipment required for watering and recover the cost from the
contractor.
When atmospheric temperature exceeds 40oC (104oF) following precautions should be taken:-
(1) Stacking aggregates under shades and keeping them moist.
(2) Using cold water.
(3) Reduce the time between mixing and placing to the minimum.
(4) Cooling formwork by sprinkling water.
(5) Starting curing before concrete dries out.
(6) Restricting concreting to mornings and evenings.
Finishing - Immediately after the removal of forms, any undulations, depressions, cavities,
honeycombing, broken edges or corners, high spots and other defects shall be made good and
finished with cement mortar 1:2 But the necessity of such finishing must be exceptional and the
total surface requiring finishing shall not exceed 1 per cent. on an average. If the initial experience
shows that this percentage is exceeded the method of working itself should be changed to get the
required cast finish. Where the concrete surface is to receive plaster, the surface shall roughened
immediately after removal of forms and within a day thereof to secure a hold for the plaster. The
rate for concrete is inclusive of this roughening and finishing. Concrete after finishing shall be
cured for thefull period.
Retempering - Concrete shall be mixed only in such quantities as are required for immediate use
and any concrete which has developed initial set shall not be used. Concrete which is partially
hardened shall not be retempered or re-mixed but shall be destroyed or thrown away.

Sampling and Testing -
Sampling of materials and concrete shall be done carefully by the contractor under the direct
supervision of the Departmental staff as per I. S. 456-1978 at the cost of contractor. All necessary
labour, materials, equipments, etc., for sampling, preparing test cubes, curing, etc., shall be
provided by the contractor. Testing of the materials and concrete will be arranged by the
Department in an approved laboratory at the cost of the contractor. No plea will be entertained
later on the ground that casting of the test specimen was faulty and that the result of the test
specimen did not give a correct indication of the actual quality of concrete. Compressive strength
of ordinary concrete shall not be less than those specified below
No. Mix Works test on

5 1:4:8 48 70
One set of six 15cm. cubes shall be prepared from the concrete to be used in the work for
compression test on each of the three days operation and thereafter for every 60 cu. m. of
concrete or three days’ work whichever is less, by the contractor in the presence of a responsible
officer of the Department of a rank not less than that of an overseer. If the source of aggregate or
grading is changed, one set of six test cubes shall be taken for each changed batch. Three cubes

shall be used for test at 7 days’ age and three at 28 days. After the relation between strength at 7
days and 28 days is reliably established for the particular set of materials for the same sources,
subsequent tests may be carried out only on three cubes at 7 days and above. 20% of the tests
results may be less than the average strength given above. If the average strength of the cubes
show ultimate compressive strength less than the above the Engineer shall have right to order a
change in the mix or water content for the remaining concrete without extra cost. Defective
concrete having strength below 80 % of the required strength is liable to be rejected. Concrete of
strength up to 80% of the required strength may be accepted as substandard work at a reduced
rate provided such weak concrete is restricted to such members and in such quantities as will not
endanger the safety of the structure.
Keeping record -
A day to day record authenticated by a responsible officer of the department and the
representative of the contractor, in the proforma approved by the Engineer shall be maintained by
the contractor on the work site and kept open for inspection. This shall contain important
information such as receipt of cement on the work site, daily use with details of use on various
items, time of starting concreting and closer, number of batches through the mixer, source of
water, water cement ratio of concrete, slump, dates of erection of formwork, passing of formwork
by the competent authority, dates of striking of forms, periods, and method of curing and other
events worthy of note. On completion of the work, the record shall be handed over to the
Department.

Materials –
A) Workability : The following procedure is adopted for testing workability;
(i) There should be mentioned of specified workability as per grade requirement and site
requirement in the tender document
(ii) After making sure that the concrete has been uniformly mixed, take a sample from the first 0.5
cum. of concrete discharge and do a sump (of compacting factor) test on the sample. If the result
complies with the specified requirements, then the load should be accepted. If the results are
beyond limit, a further sample should be taken from the second 0.5 cum. of the discharge and if
this is satisfactory, the load should be accepted, if not the concrete load should be rejected, as the
same is not as per the specification range. Permissible variation in sump shall be 10 mm as per IS:
4926-1976.
B) Cement Content : Cement content for cubic meter of Ready Mix Concrete shall be mentioned
for each grade of concrete. The minimum cement content in the various grades of concrete shall
be as per design mix for a particular grade of concrete. The mix design shall confirm to one of the
methods specified in IS: 10262 or IRC 44. However preferable the mix design should be done as
per details given in IRC-44 of 1976- “Tentative guidelines cement concrete mix design”. The mix
design shall be approved from Govt. laboratory. The grade of cement shall be mentioned in the
contract documents. Cement shall have to be got tested at the Govt. laboratory or the laboratory
approved by the Engineer in Charge.
C) Water : The contractor/ manufacturer shall have to make their own arrangements of potable
water for using in mixing of concrete and for curing purpose. It shall meet the requirement as per
IS: 456-2000.
D) Sand : Sand shall be of approved quality with fineness modulus between 2.4 to 3.5 as per
approved mix design. The sand will have to be screened to remove the oversize particles and
washed to reduce the silt contents below 5% by volume after one hour & to bring it within

the permissible range of fineness modulus. Blending of sand of fine and coarse quality may be
permitted at mix design stage to achieve the required fineness modulus, if it is found necessary to
give desired results. The fine aggregates will be tested as directed by Engineer in Charge.
E) Coarse Aggregate : Specified sizes of aggregates mentioned in design mix shall be used by
manufacturer of RMC plant. Client shall confirm the quality of sand used for concrete. If coarse
aggregate are found having white spots, the same shall be got tested from approved testing
laboratory to eliminate possibility of potential aggregate alkali reactivity before accepting or using
spotted aggregates. The manufacturer should make the necessary arrangements to stock the
aggregates separately so that they do not get mixed up with each other and/or with the foreign
materials and do not get segregated. The screening of the aggregates shall be done if found
necessary as directed by the Engineer in Charge.
F) Compressive Strength : Compressive Strength testing shall be carried out on site for 7 days,
14 days and 28 days strength. The water content shall be the minimum required to provide the
specified workability for full compaction of the concrete to the required compaction of the concrete
to the required density. The maximum water cement ratio shall be 0.40. At least three sets
consisting of 4 cubes from different loads for testing the compressive strength for each days work.
One cube from each set shall be tested for 7 days, 14 days and 28 days strength in presence
of Engineer in Charge in accordance with testing procedure. In case of failure of 28 days strength
at site laboratory, remaining three cubes shall be sent to approved laboratory immediately for
testing for 28 days strength.
G) Density : The density of the compacted concrete shall be such that the total air voids are not
more than 3%. Core density test shall be carried out in accordance with the relevant IS codes
H) Admixtures : The admixture shall be used with consent with the purchaser/ client. The
admixture used shall confirm to IS: 9103-1979 reaffirmed on 1990 or ASTMC-494 of 92. The
following admixtures to be used in concrete: (i) Accelerating Admixtures, (ii) Retarding
Admixtures, (iii) Water Reducing Admixtures, (iv) Air Entraining Admixtures,
Proportioning Mix - In ordinary concrete, although proportion of cement to fine and coarse
aggregate is specified by volume, the quantity of cement shall be determined by weight assuming
one bag of cement weighing 50 Kg. nett to be equivalent to 35 litres. Fine and coarse aggregates
shall be measured by dry volumes in suitable wooden boxes. Due allowance shall be made for
bulking in the fine aggregate due to moisture if any, at the time of mixing.
Ingredients required for concrete containing 50 Kg. bag of cement for different proportions of mix
will be as under :-

Mix Cement Fine Coarse Water
aggregate aggregate
1 2 3 4 5
1:1:2 50Kg 50Kg 100Kg 23-27 litres
1:1.5:3 50Kg 75Kg 150Kg 23-30 litres
1:2:4 50Kg 100Kg 200Kg 27-32 litres
1:3:6 50Kg 150Kg 300kg 37.5-45 litres
1:4:8 50Kg 200Kg 400kg 47.5-57 litres
1:5:10 50Kg 250Kg 500Kg 56-68 litres
In case of slabs special mixes with smaller size aggregates shall be taken out and placed below
bottom steel to obtain dense cover. The ratio of the volumes of the fine and coarse aggregates
may be varied within limits of 1:1.5 to 1:2.5 as directed by the Engineer to suit the maximum size of
coarse aggregate, the grading, density, workability and strength without extra cost. But the sum of
the volumes of the fine and coarse aggregates so adjusted shall however be equal to the sum of
the volumes of fine and coarse aggregates given above for a particular mix. The quantity of water
shall be just sufficient, but not more than sufficient, to produce a dense concrete of required
workability for its purpose. An accurate control shall be kept on the quantity of mixing water.
An allowance shall be made for surface moisture present in the aggregates when computing water
content as indicated in I.S. 456-1978. In the case of reinforced concrete work, the workability shall
be such that the concrete will surround and properly grip all the reinforcement. Water cement ratio

will such as will give concrete just sufficiently weight to be placed and compacted without difficulty.
For vibrated concrete, water content may be reduced by 15% to 20% to give the required reduced
slump.
Mixing -
For all important works concrete shall be mixed in mechanical mixer at the site of work. Care shall
be taken to see that the mixer and other accessories are in first class working condition especially
the blades which have to extend right up to the bottom of the drum. Trial mix shall be taken out to
ensure good mixing. Mixing shall be continued till there is uniform distribution of the materials and
a uniform colour is obtained and each individual particle of the coarse aggregate shall show a
complete coating of mortar containing its proportionate amount of cement. In no case mixing shall
be done for less than 1.5 minutes. The water cement ratio shall range between 0.55 to 0.64 for
1:2:4 mix. When hand mixing is permitted by the Engineer it shall be done on a smooth water tight
platform large enough to allow efficient turning over of the ingredients of concrete before and after
adding water. Mixing platform shall be so arranged that no foreign matter shall get mixed with
concrete nor the mixing water shall flow out. The cement in required number of bags shall be
placed in a uniform layer on top of the measured quantity to fine aggregate required, also spread in
a layer of uniform depth in the mixing platform. Dry sand and cement then shall be mixed
thoroughly by turning over to get a mixture of uniform Colour. Enough water shall then be added
gradually through a rose and the mass turned over till a mortar of required consistency is obtained.
The measured quantity of coarse aggregate shall then be placed on a mixing platform and wetted
and the mortar added and the entire mass turned and returned until all the particle of the coarse
aggregate are fully covered with mortar and mixture is of a uniform colour and required
consistency. In hand mixing, quantity of cement shall be increased by 5% above that specified in
para. B.5.3 without any extra cost. Concrete shall have a consistency such that it will be workable
in the required position and in the case of R.C.C., flow around reinforcing steel also. For vibrated
concrete, slump shall range between 2.5 cm. to 5 cm. For hand tamped concrete, slump shall
range between 8 cm. to 13cm.according to the type and nature of the concrete item. The slump
shall be least permitted by workability and maintained throughout the concreting operation of a
member. The concrete shall be placed in its final position and rammed, vibrated and finished within
30 minutes of adding water to cement. Re-tempering or remixing of partially hardened concrete
shall not be permitted.
Scaffolding -
All scaffolding, hoisting arrangements and ladders, etc., required for the facility of concreting shall
be provided by the contractor at his own expense and removed on the completion of work. The
scaffolding, hoisting arrangements and ladders, etc., shall be strong enough to withstand all live,
dead and impact load expected to act and shall be subjected to the approval of the Engineer.
However the contractor shall be solely responsible for the safety of scaffolding,
hoisting arrangement, ladders, work and workmen. The contractor shall pay the necessary
compensations arising out of the use of the scaffolding hoisting arrangements and ladders and for
damages to work, properties and injuries to persons. The scaffolding, hoisting arrangements and

ladders shall allow easy approach to work spot and afford easy inspection.
Forms - Forms shall generally comply with I.S.456-1964,para.7.2.
Materials -
The forms and false work shall be made of wood or metal. The timber from which the forms are
prepared should preferably be partially seasoned as too dry a timber will swell for absorption of
moisture while green timber will dry and shrink. It shall be free from sap, shakes, loose knots,
wormholes or other defects. The plants and scantlings shall be sawn straight and all edges and
planes shall be straight and free from warps. Partially seasoned soft wood is generally preferable
for formwork as it is difficult to drive nails in hard wood. The dimensions of scantlings should
conform to the design. The strength of the wood shall not be less than that assumed in the design.
In metal form, steel sheets of designed gauge strengthened with framing of angle or other sections
shall be used. Wooden forms may also be lined with thin steel sheets or plywood to give the
required surface or finish.
Fabrication -
The timber plans and scantlings of designed dimensions shall be used in the formwork with
appropriate spacing of studs, yokes, joists, girders, etc., as provided in the design. All timber in
contact with concrete shall be wrought on one face and two edges, the unwrought face being on
the outside. The joints should be made mortar tight. This may be done either by providing tongued
and prooved or rebated. joints or by caulking or nailing metal strips or applying adhesive tape on
the joints. The forms shall be built with sufficient strength and rigidity and held in shape by bolts,
clamps, ties, nails, wales or other contrivance to prevent distortion or collapse due to pressure of
concrete and other loads incidental to the construction operations. The nuts and bolt heads inside
the formwwork adjoining the concrete should be countersunk. The formwork should allow finish
concrete to have a smooth surface and conforms to the shapes, lines and dimensions shown on
the plans and true to line and grades. The effect of vibration shall be taken into account in the
design and fabrication of forms and falsework. Forms shall be so designed and constructed as to
be removable in sections without damaging the surface of the concrete and with facilities of
removal in the ascending order of removal time, without disturbing the remaining forms required to
be removed later.
Treatment of inside of forms -

Before placing concrete, the inside of the forms which comes in contract with concrete shall coated
with mineral oil or any other suitable material approved by the Engineer which will prevent
adhesion to concrete to the forms but will not discolour the concrete. When oil is used, it shall be
applied before reinforcement is placed. Care shall be taken to see that reinforcement does not
came in contact with the coating. All chipping, saw dust and other rubbish shall be removed from
the interior of the forms before concrete.

False work -
Falsework shall be built on foundation or base of sufficient strength to carry the loads without
settlement. Falsework which can not be founded on solid footing must be supported by piles or
other similar devices. Falsework shall be designed to carry the full loads including that due to
construction operations coming upon it.
Erection -
Falsework and formwork shall be erected with an eye for absolute safety of the formwork and
concrete work before, during and after pouring concrete. Watch must be kept to see that the
behaviour of centering and formwork is satisfactory during concreting. Erection should also be
such that it would allow removal of forms in proper sequence without damaging either the concrete
or the forms to be removed later. If there is failure of falsework and/or formwork the contractor shall
be responsible for all the consequent damages to work, injury to life and damage to property.
Inspection - The forms and falsework will be inspected, checked and approved by the Engineer
before concreting is commenced. But this will not relieve the contractor of his responsibilities for
strength, adequacy and safety of the formwork and falsework.
Removal of forms - Formwork shall be removed carefully without damaging the concrete or giving
sudden shocks. It should be ascertained from the exposed sides of concrete that it has gained
adequate strength before the bottoms and supports of the formwork are removed Unless otherwise
specified in the special provisions, forms of concrete work using ordinary Portland cement may be
struck after expiry of the
following periods in normal circumstances :-
1) Vertical faces of all structural 28 hrs. to 48 hrs. members,
wall
(2) Slabs (props left under) 3 days
(3) Beam soffits (props left under) 7 days
(4) Slabs spanning upto 4.5 m. 7 days
(5) Slabs spanning over 4.5 m. 14 days

(6) Beams spanning upto 6 m. 14 days
(7) Beams spanning over 6 m. 21 days
For Pozzolana Grade 43 or Grade 53 and other types of cements the striking period may be
suitably modified. In important structures, the sequence of striking formwork shall be approved by
the Engineer.
Reuse - Before reuse, all forms shall be thoroughly scraped and cleaned, joints gone over and
repaired and the insides retreated to prevent adhesion, all to the entire satisfaction of the Engineer.
The shape, strength, rigidity, mortar tightness and surface smoothness of reused forms shall be
maintained at all times.
Transporting - The concrete shall be handled from the place of mixing to the final position as
quickly as practicable by methods which will prevent segregation and loss of ingredients. In no
case shall the operation take more than 15 minutes.

The concrete shall be thoroughly compacted during depositing to get a dense concrete and
thoroughly worked into the edges and corners of the formwork as also along its faces and around
reinforcement in the case of R.C.C., by means of suitable tools such as spades and rods to get a
good cast finish without honey combing. Concrete shall not be disturbed once it is set. For

compression test on each of the three days operation and thereafter for every 60 cu. m. of
concrete or three days’ work whichever is less, by the contractor in the presence of a responsible
officer of the Department of a rank not less than that of an overseer. If the source of aggregate or
grading is changed, one set of six test cubes shall be taken for each changed batch. Three cubes

shall be used for test at 7 days’ age and three at 28 days. After the relation between strength at 7
days and 28 days is reliably established for the particular set of materials for the same sources,
subsequent tests may be carried out only on three cubes at 7 days and above. 20% of the tests
results may be less than the average strength given above. If the average strength of the cubes
show ultimate compressive strength less than the above the Engineer shall have right to order a
change in the mix or water content for the remaining concrete without extra cost. Defective

General - The item provides for the supply of mild steel bars, cutting, bending, binding
with galvanized iron wire and erecting in position for reinforcement in R.C.C.
Materials -
1) TMT bar
2)The binding wire
Supply - When the supply is made by the Department, the contractor shall convey the mild steel
bars from the place of delivery mentioned in schedule `A’ of the tender to the site of work. The
contractor shall be solely responsible for any damage during the conveyance and till it is used.
When the contractor supplied mild steel reinforcement bars obtained from the market they shall be
supplied to the site of work without damage.
Fabrication - Reinforcing steel shall be thoroughly cleaned of all coatings of any characters that
would destroy or reduce the bond. Bending reinforcement shall conform accurately to the
dimensions and shapes shown on the plans or as directed by the Engineer. Bars shall not be bent
or straightened in a manner that will injure
the material. Bars with kinks, bends or cracks shall not be used. Bars shall be bent cold to the
shapes and dimensions shown on the drawings or as directed by the Engineer in writing. Bar
bender may be used to attain proper radii of bends and shapes. Bars which may be bend in
transport or handling shall be properly straightened before being placed in work without heating
them. Bending bar by heating to cherry red heat not exceeding 815øc may be allowed for only
M.S. bars larger than 25mm. diameter except for bars which depend for their strength on cold
working . Hot bars shall not be cooled by quenching. HYSD bars shall not be heated for bending.
Details of length, sizes, laps and bending diagrams shall be got approved by the Engineer. This is
to secure additional precautions against errors.
Splicing and Lapping - All reinforcement shall be furnished in full lengths indicated on the plans
as far as possible. splicing bars except as shown on the plans will not available, bars shall be
spliced. spliced of tensile reinforcement at points of maximum stress and of adjacent bars at the
same place shall be avoided. Splices shall be staggered as far as possible and located at suitable
points. A welded or mechanical connection if adopted, shall develop the full strength of the bars .
Welding of HYSD bars shall not be done. However welding of HYSD bars may be done with
written permission of the Engineer in charge by special methods as may be suitable. Unless
otherwise shown on the plans, bars shall be lapped as specified in I.S. 456-1964* with due regard
to the grade of concrete. In lap-splices, bars shall be placed in contact and just wired together to
keep in place.
Coupling - Whenever plans and specifications call for the use of coupling-boxes or bottle nuts to
join bars, they shall have sufficient cross section to transmit the full strength of the bars. The ends
of the bars which are jointed by coupling shall be upset for a sufficient length so that effective cross

section after cutting the screw threads shall not be less than the normal cross section of the bars.
Screw threads shall be standard Whitworth threads. Coupled joints will be paid for separately.
Welding - Whenever plans and specifications call for the welding of joints in reinforcement bars in
lieu of lapping them, the bars shall be butt-welded so as to transmit their full strength. Welding
shall generally conform to specification No.B- 18 and I.S. 456-1964* except as modified below and
when otherwise directed by the Engineer. Welded joints shall be so staggered that in any one
section equal to the lap length of the bars, not more than 33% of the bar are welded. Electric arc
welding or oxyacetylene process of welding, using a process which will exclude air from the molten
metal and conforming to any special provisions for the welding as laid down by the Engineer in
writing will be accepted. Suitable means shall be provided for holding the bars securely in position
during the process of welding. The ends of the
bars shall be cleaned of all loose scale, rust, grease, paint, and other foreign matter and clean
original metal exposed before welding. Only competent and experienced welder shall be employed
on the work. Preliminary test of the weld shall be carried out at the contractor’s cost to see that the
actual field welding method is satisfactory and gives the required strength. Two welds in 100 welds
or a minimum of 2 welds shall be made on the site on the test pieces under conditions exactly
similar to the field welding of actual reinforcement bars and tested for their tensile strength. The
strength of the welded joint shall not be less than that of the original bar. If the tests are not
satisfactory, change of welding procedure and further tests may be ordered by the Engineer. Bars
welded along with the welded samples, found unsatisfactory on tests shall be cut and rewelded.
Additional welds if required on this account shall not be paid for. All the tests shall be at the cost of
the contractor. When welded joints are required they will be paid for separately. No part of the
reinforcement embedded in concrete shall be used for conducting electric current.
Substitution - Substitution of size of bars different from those specified will be permitted at the
request of the contractor only if authorised by the Engineer. The steel substituted shall have area
not less than the designed area provided further that the safe bond stress is not exceeded. If such
substituted steel has larger area than that originally specified, such excess weight due to larger
area will not paid for.
Placing and Fastening - All reinforcement shall be accurately placed in position with spacing and
cover shown on the plan and firmly held so during the placing and setting of concrete. Bars shall
be tied at all intersections. Binding wire of 1.63m. or 1.22mm diameter shall be used. Alternatively
the Engineer may permit spot welding instead of tying wire. Spacing of bars shall be maintained by
means of stays, blocks, ties, spacers, hangers or other approved supports at sufficiently close
interval so that bars will not sags between supports nor be displaced during placing, vibrating or
compacting concrete or by any other operation. Metal supports which extends
to the surface of the concrete except where shown in the plans and wooden supports shall not be
allowed. Placing bars for reinforcement on a layer of fresh concrete as the work progress, will not
be permitted. The use of pieces of broken stones or bricks or wooden blocks for maintaining

spacing or cover shall not be permitted. Layers of bars shall be separated by pre cast cement
mortar blocks, spacer bars or other approved devices. Special care shall be taken to prevent any
disturbance of the reinforcement in concrete that has already been placed. Reinforcement after
being placed in position shall be maintained in a clean condition till it is completely embedded in
the concrete. All bars protruding from concrete to which other bars are to be spliced and which are
likely to be exposed for an indefinite period shall be protected from rusting from rusting by a thin
coat of cement wash.
Inspection - Full details of the numbers, sizes, lengths, weights, laps, welds, spacing of the bars
placed in position in different parts of the work shall be recorded, certified and signed by the
Engineer to show that all reinforcement has been placed correctly as per the sanctioned drawings
or as ordered by the Engineer in writing before placing concrete. No concrete shall be deposited
until the Engineer has inspected and certified the correctness of reinforcement, recorded the steel
measurements and given permission to place the concrete in writing. After the approval of
reinforcement by the Engineer it will be the contractor’s responsibility to see that the reinforcement
spacing and arrangements are not tempered with in any way before or during concreting.
Tests - When the contractor supplies his own steel, he shall produce the test certificate. If there is
any doubt about the quality, tensile and cold bend tests shall be carried out according to I.S. 432 -
1978 in an approved laboratory and the cost of the tests shall be borne by the contractor if the
results are unsatisfactory and by the Department if the results are satisfactory.

vibratory roller to achieve the desired density. Laying By Grader/Paver.
Specification:
Specification-
This work shall consist of laying and compacting clean, crushed, graded aggregate and granular
material, premixed with water, to a dense mass on a prepared subgrade/sub- base/base or

existing pavement as the case may be in accordance with the requirements of these
Specifications. The material shall be laid in one or more layers as necessary to lines, grades and
cross-sections shown on the approved drawings or as directed by the Engineer.
The thickness of a single compacted Wet Mix Macadam layer shall not be less than 75 mm. When
vibrating or other approved types of compacting equipment are used, the compacted depth of a
single layer of the sub-base course may be increased to 200 mm upon approval of the Engineer.
Materials
Aggregates
Physical requirements: Coarse aggregates shall be crushed stone. If crushed gravel/shingle is

used, not less than 90 per cent by weight of the gravel/shingle pieces retained on 4.75 mm sieve
shall have at least two fractured faces. The aggregates shall conform to the physical requirements
set forth in Table 400-10 below.
Aggregate may satisfy requirements of either of the two tests.To determine this combined
proportion, the flaky stone from a representative sample should first be separated out. Flakiness
index is weight of flaky stone metal divided by weight of stone sample. Only the elongated particles
be separated out from the remaining (non-flaky) stone metal. Elongation index is weight of
elongated particles divided by total. non-flaky particles. The value of flakiness index and elongation
index so found are added up.
If the water absorption value of the coarse aggregate is greater than 2 per cent, the soundness test
shall be carried out on the material delivered to site as per IS: 2386 (Part-5).
Materials finer than 425 micron shall have Plasticity Index (PI) not exceeding 6.The final gradation
approved within these limits shall be well graded from coarse to fine and shall not vary from the
low limit on one sieve to the high- limit on the adjacent sieve or vice versa
Construction Operations
Provision of lateral confinement of aggregates: While constructing wet mix macadam,

arrangement shall be made for the lateral confinement of wet mix. This shall be done by laying
materials in adjoining shoulders along with that of wet mix macadam layer
Preparation of mix: Wet Mix Macadam shall be prepared in an approved mixing

plant of suitable capacity having provision for controlled addition of water and forced/ positive
mixing arrangement like pugmill or pan type mixer of concrete batching plant. For small quantity of
wet mix work, the Engineer may permit the mixing to be done in concrete mixers. Optimum
moisture for mixing shall he determined in accordance with IS:2720 (Part-8) afterreplacing the
aggregate fraction retained on 22.4 mm sieve with material of 4.75 mm to22.4 mm size. While

adding water, due allowance should be made for evaporation losses.However, at the time of
compaction, water in the wet mix should not vary from the optimuvalue by more than agreed limits.
The mixed material should be uniformly wet and nosegregation should be permitted.
Spreading of mix: Immediately after mixing, the aggregates shall be spread uniformly and evenly
upon the prepared subgrade/sub-base/base in required quantities, In no case should these be
dumped in heaps directly on the area where these are to be laid nor shall their hauling over a
partly completed stretch be permitted.
The mix may be spread either by a paver finisher or motor grader. For portions where mechanical
means cannot be used, manual means as approved by the Engineer shall be used. The motor
grader shall be capable of spreading the material uniformly all over the surface. Its blade shall
have hydraulic control suitable for initial adjustments and maintaining the same so as to achieve
the specified slope and grade. The paver finisher shall be self-propelled, having the following
features.
(1) Loading hoppers and suitable distribution mechanism (ii) The screed shall have tamping and
vibrating arrangement for initial compaction to the layer as it is spread without rutting or otherwise
marring the surface profile. (i) The paver shall be equipped with necessary control mechanism so
as to ensure that the finished surface is free from surface blemishes.The surface of the aggregate
shall be carefully checked with templates and all high or low spots remedied by removing or adding
aggregate as may be required. The layer may be tested by depth blocks during construction. No
segregation of larger and fine particles should be allowed. The aggregates as spread should be of
uniform gradation with no pockets of fine materials.
Compaction: After the mix has been laid to the required thickness, grade and crossfall/camber the
same shall be uniformly compacted, to the full depth with suitable roller. If the thickness of single
compacted layer does not exceed 100 mm, a smooth wheel roller of 80 to 100 KN weight may be
used. For a compacted single layer upto 200 mm, the compaction shall be done with the help of
vibratory roller of minimum static weight of 80 to 100 KN or equivalent capacity roller. The speed of
the roller shall not exceed 5 km/h.In portions having unidirectional cross fall/superelevation, rolling
shall commence from the lower edge and progress gradually towards the upper edge. Thereafter,
roller should progress parallel to the centre line of the road, uniformly over-lapping each preceding
track by at least one third width until the entire surface has been rolled. Altemate trips of the roller
shall be terminated in stops at least 1 m away from any preceding stop. In portions in camber,
rolling should begin at the edge with the roller running forward and backward until the edges have
been firmly compacted. The roller shall then progress gradually towards the centre parallel to the
centre line of -the road uniformly overlapping each of the preceding track by at least one-third
width until the entire surface has been rolled.
Any displacement occurring as a result of reversing of the direction of a roller or from any other
cause shall be corrected- at once as specified and for removed and made good. Along forms,
kerbs, walls or other places not accessible to the roller, the mixture shall be thoroughly compacted
with mechanical tampers or a plate compactor. Skin patching of an area without scarifying the
surface to permit proper bonding of the added material shall not be permitted. Rolling should not

be done when the subgrade is soft or yielding or when it causes a wave-like motion in the sub-
base/base course or subgrade. If irregularities develop during rolling which exceed 12 mm when
tested with a 3 metre straight edge, the surface should be loosened and premixed material added
or removed as required before rolling again so as to achieve a uniform surface conforming to the
desired grade and crossfall. In no case should the use of unmixed material be permitted to make
up the depressions.Rolling shall be continued till the density achieved is at least 98 per cent of the
maximum dry density for the material as determined by the method outlined in IS: 2720 (Part-8)
After completion, the surface of any finished layer shall be well-closed, free from movement under
compaction equipment or any compaction planes, ridges, cracks and loose material. All loose,
segregated or otherwise defective areas shall be made good to the full thickness of the layer and
recompacted.
Setting and drying: After final compaction of wet mix macadam course, the road shall be allowed to
dry for 24 hours.
Opening to Traffic Preferably no vehicular traffic of any kind should be allowed on the finished wet
mix macadam surface till it has dried and the wearing course laid.
Quality control: Control on the quality of materials and works shall be exercised by the Engineer in
accordance with Section 900.
Rectification of Surface Irregularity
Where the surface irregularity of the wet mix macadam course exceeds the permissible tolerances
or where the course is otherwise defective due to subgrade soil getting mixed with the aggregates,
the full thickness of the layer shall be scarified over the affected area, re-shaped with added
premixed material or removed and replaced with fresh premixed material as applicable and
recompacted in accordance with Clause 406.3. The area treated in the aforesaid manner shall not
be less than 5 in long and 2 m wide. In no case shall depressions be filled up with unmixed and
ungraded material or fines.
Arrangement for Traffic During the period of construction, arrangement of traffic shall be done as
per Clause
Measurements for Payment

line of the road. All joints shall be cut vertical to the full thickness of the previously laid mix and the
surface painted with hot bitumen before placing fresh material.
Rolling : After the spreading of mix, shall be thoroughly compacted by rolling by set of rollers at
speed not more than 5 km per hour, immediately following close to the paver. The initial or
breakdown rolling shall be with 8 to 12 tonns vibratory roller or other approved equipment. Rolling
should start as soon as possible after the material has been spread. Rolling shall be done with
care to keep from unduly roughening the pavement surface. Rolling of the longitudinal joints shall
be done immediately behind the paving operation. After this the rolling shall commence at the
edges and progress towards the center longitudinally except that on super elevated portions it shall
progress from the lower to the upper edge parallel to the central line of the pavement. The initial or
break down rolling and final rolling shall be done, with 8 to 10 tonnes static weight smooth (3wheel
steel roller or tandem) as soon as it is possible to role the mix without cracking the roll surface or
having the mix pick up on the roller wheels. The second or intermediate rolling shall follow the
breakdown rolling with vibratory roller of 8-10 tonne static weight as closely as possible to the
paver and be done while the paving mix is still at a temperature that will result in maximum density.
The final rolling shall be done while material is still workable enough for removal of roller marks
with 8 to 10 tonnes static weight. During the initial or break down rolling and final rolling, vibratory
system shall be switched off. The joints and edges shall be rolled with 8 to 10 tonne static roller.
When the roller has passed over the whole area once, any high spots or depressions, which
become apparent shall be corrected by removing or adding mix material. The rolling shall then be
continued till the entire surface has been rolled to 98% of the average laboratory density
compaction, there is no crushing of aggregates and all roller marks have been eliminated. Each
pass of the roller shall uniformly overlap not less than one-third of the track made in the preceding

pass. The roller wheel shall be kept damp if necessary to avoid bituminous material from sticking
to the wheels and being picked up. In no case shall fuel-lubricating oil be used for this purpose, nor
excessive water poured on the wheels. Rolling operations shall be completed in every respect
before the temperature of the mix falls below 800 C. Roller(s) shall not stand on newly laid material
while there is risk that it will be deformed thereby. The edges along and transverse of the lean
bituminous macadam laid and compacted earlier shall cut to their full depth so as to expose fresh
surface which shall be painted with a thin coat of appropriate binder before the new mix is placed
against it.
Item to Include : The item includes providing all material, all labour, plant for heating asphalt,
mixing plant, trolley/truck/dumper, vibratory roller, paver finisher, tools and equipment required to
carry out the work as per specifications.
Mode of Measurements and Payment : The dense bituminous macadam of specified thickness
shall be measured as finished work in Square Meters. The contract rate shall be per Sq. Mtr. and
shall be paid after satisfactory completion of work as per the specifications.
