METHOD OF

PART II CONCRETE WORKS
( Third Revision )
0. FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard ( Part II ) ( Third Revision ) was adopted by
the Indian Standards Jnstitution on 20 September 1974, after the Graft
finalized by the Civil Works Measurement Sectional Committee had been
approved by the Civil Engineering Division Council.
0.2 Measurement occupies a very important place in planning and execu-
tion of any civil engineering work from the time of first estimates to final
completion and settleinent of payments of the project. The methods
followed for measurement are not uniform, and considerable differences
exist between practices followed by one construction agency and another
and also between various Central and State Government departments.
While it is recognized that each system of measurement has to be specifically
related to the administrative and financial organizations within the depart-
ment responsible for work, a unification of the various systems at the
technical level has been accepted as very desirable, especially as it permits
a wider circle of operation for civil engineerin,q contractors and eliminate
ambiguities and misunderstandings arising out of inadequate understanding
of various systems followed.
An . ~~ __~___~..~~_* ~‘1
u.3 runong various CIV~ engineering items, measurement of building had
been first to be taken up for standardization and this standard having
provisions relating to all building works, was first published in 1958 and
revised in 1964.
0.4 In the course of tisage of this standard by various construction agencies
in the country, several clarifications and suggestions for modifications were
received and as a result of study, the Sectional Committee responsible for
this standard decided that its scope, besides being applicable to building,
should be expanded so as to cover also method of measurement applicable
to other civil engineering works like industrial and river valley project works.
0.5 Since various trades are not related to one another, the Sectional
Committee decided that each type of trade as given in IS : 1200-1964* be
*Method of measurement of building works (/ia w&ion ),

issued in different parts which will be helpful to the specific users in various
trades. Tllis part covering method of measurements of concrete works
applical~le to building as ~11 as civil engineering works was, therefore,
issued as a second revision in 1968.
0.6 ‘l’llis part is, therefore, intended to provide comprehensive guidance for
mcas~ircmcnt of concrete construction in wide field of building and civil
cngincc:&~ works including bridges, industrial structures, etc, taking into
ac:c‘ou;lt in a la~..qe measure advanced practice of concrete construction.

position, straight cutting and waste, disposal of packings, etc.
2.4 Dimensions - Unless otherwise stated all work shall be measured
net in decimal system as fixed in its place as given in 2.4.1 to 2.4.3. Any
work done extra over the specified dimensions shall be ignored.
2.4.1 Dimensions shall be measured to nearest O-01 m except for the
thickness of slab which shall bc measured to nearest PO05 m.
2.4.2 Areas shall be worked out to nearest 0.01 square metre.
2.4.3 Cubic contents shall be worked out to nearest 0.01 cubic metre.
2.5 Booking of Dimensions - In booking dimensions, order shall be
consistent and generally in sequence of length, width and height or depth
or thickness.
2.6 Works to be Measured Separately - Works executed in following
conditions shall be measured separately:
a) Work in or under water,
b) Work in liquid mud,
c) Work in or under foul positions,
d) Work under tides, and
e) Work in snow.
2.6.1 In the case of work under tides the levels of high and low water
tides shall be stated.
2.7 Measurement in Stages - Works shall be measured under the
following categories in convenient stages stating the height or depth:
a) Below ground/datum level, and
b) Above ground/datum level.
NOTE- The ground/datum level shall be defined in each case.
3.1 Works of lime concrete and mud concrete shall be fully described and
measured in cubic metres.

separate:
4 Bridges;
b) Dams and spillways;
C>Barrages and weirs;
4 Canal works;
e) Tunnels and shafts;
f 1 Harbour, docks and marine works;
d Special structures, such as power house, overhead water reservoir,
chimneys and shafts, towers, silos and similar other structures;
? Buildings; and

4.1.2 Units of Measurement - Unless otherwise stated all concrete work
shall be measured in cubic metres.
4.1.3 Formwork - Unless otherwise stated formwork shall be measured
separately under IS : 1200 ( Part V )-1972*.
4.1.4 Finishes - Fair finishing of exposed surfaces of concrete including
hacking or roughening surfaces of concrete shall be included in the descrip-
tion. Special finishes other than those obtained through formwork shall be
so described and measured separately in square metres.
4.1.5 Reiraforcement - Unless otherwise stated reinforcement shall be
measured separately [ see IS : 1200 ( Part VIII )-1974t 1. Where concrete
and reinforcement are measured as a composite item they shall be fully
described indicating that supply of reinforcement is included in the item;
in such cases items identical in other respects but varying in reinforcement
shall be measured separately.
4.1.6 Special Concrete-Concrete processed in special manner, such as
cooled, heated, cellular, expansive and heat resisting shall be fully described
and measured separately.
4.1.7 All plain, rebated, grooved, locking and tongued joints shall be in-
