Backfilling in sides of trenches and basement pits shall be done with soil approved by
the Project Manager/ Engineer In charge taken from excavation or from outside the
site, in layers as described in 5.3.
No filling shall be started around the basement wall unless concrete has attended
the desired strength. The Contractor shall obtain region approval before start of any
filling work.
5.2 QUALITY OF FILL
Fill shall be of well compacted, well graded earth or sand and shall be free from tree
stumps, organic matter, seed and peat etc. Where earth or sand from source other
than excavation at site is used, the quality of such earth or sand shall be the same as
that obtained from excavation at site, or superior to it.
Agricultural soil shall be sweet soil obtained from an approved source free from
stone, chlorides, sulphates and shall be suitable for plant growth.
5.3 COMPACTION
The fill shall be spread in layers not exceeding 30 cm thick and each layer shall be
watered and thoroughly consolidated by suitable mechanical rollers, road rollers,
surface vibrators, rammers, or other approved plant or system of compaction.
Optimum moisture content shall be maintained for the fill materials. Compaction shall
be done so as to achieve a dry density of not less than 90% of the maximum density
obtained at optimum moisture content, except for the upper 20 cm layer which shall
be compacted to a density of not less than 95% of the maximum density.
In order that the fill shall be reasonably uniform throughout, the material shall be
dumped in place in approximately horizontal layers. "End dumping", a process by
which the material is pushed off edge of the fill and allowed to roll down the slope
shall not be carried out. If there is traffic over the fill during construction, either by
construction equipment or otherwise, it should be routed to make the compaction as
uniform as possible. Where necessary symmetrical filling load shall be maintained
and also care shall be taken to prevent any wedging action.

5.4 DEWATERING
Rate for excavation shall deemed to be inclusive of such dewatering or pumping out
water which may accumulate in the excavation during the progress of work either
from subsoil, seepage, springs, rain or any other cause and diverting surface flow if
any by bunds or other means. Pumping out water shall be done in such approved
manner as to preclude the possibility of any damage to the foundation trenches,
concrete or masonry or any adjacent structure. When water is met with in foundation
trenches or in basement excavations, pumping out water shall be from an auxiliary pit
of adequate size dug slightly outside the building excavations. The depth of the
auxiliary pit shall be more than the working foundation trench levels. The auxiliary pit
shall be refilled with approved excavated materials after the dewatering is over. Any
method that draws fine materials from adjacent ground shall not be used.
The drainage water shall be disposed off in such a manner as to prevent erosion or
other damage to surrounding areas as approved by Project manager or local
authorities.
The excavation shall be kept free from water all times (1) during inspection and
measurement, (2) when concrete and/or masonry are in progress and till these come
above the natural water level, and (3) till the Project Manager considers that the
concrete/mortar is sufficiently set.
5.5 OTHER EXCAVATION
Where a good bottom is not obtained within the depth specified or soft pockets are
found below formation level (such areas shall got inspected/recorded by Project
Manager/ Engineer In charge), additional excavation (if approved by Project
Manager/ Engineer In charge), shall be made and shall be filled with approved fill or
mass concrete as directed by the Project Manager/ Engineer In charge.
All bottoms of rock excavations shall be examined for loose or broken rock, which
shall be removed to provide a solid bearing and the rock surface cleaned and leveled
as directed by the Project Manager/ Engineer In charge.
The bottom of excavation shall be inspected by the Project Manager/ Engineer In

charge and must be approved by him before any concrete is placed in them.
The bottom of excavation shall be trimmed and leveled in accordance with the
drawing. Final trimming and levelling shall be done by hand immediately before
concrete is placed. Following completion of the excavation care must be taken to
avoid softening of the surface before concreting.
5.6 SURPLUS EXCAVATED MATERIAL
All excavated material certified as surplus and not useful shall be removed by the
Contractor at his own expense from the site in an approved manner to an approved
dump.
5.7 RATES TO INCLUDE

manufacturer shall be made available at site to ensure proper batching and mixing of
materials in the concrete.
3.7.4 BRICK BAT CONCRETE.
Brick Aggregate shall be obtained by breaking well burnt or over burnt dense
bricks/brick bats. They shall be homogeneous in texture, roughly cubical in shape
and clean. They shall be free from unburnt clay particles. Soluble slat, silt, adherent
coating of soil, vegetable matter and other deleterious substances. Such aggregate
should not containing more than 1% of sulphate and should not absorb more than
10% of their own marks of water when used in cement concrete. It shall conform to
IS: 306 - 1986 unless otherwise specified. The mixing and laying shall be as per
cement concrete mentioned above.
3.8 WATER CEMENT RATIO
The quantity of water added to the cement and aggregates during mixing shall be
such as to produce a concrete having sufficient workability to enable it to be properly
compacted to be worked into the corners of the shuttering and around reinforcement.
Due account shall be taken of the variation of moisture content, within any
consignment of aggregate and any variations due to watering, exposure to rain or
drying weather. The contractor shall carryout regular moisture content tests in
accordance with IS : 2386 on stacked aggregates as directed by the Project
Manager/ Engineer In charge and results submitted to him.
In case of ordinary concrete the maximum value of water cement ratio shall be 0.50
and in the case of controlled concrete the water cement ratio is determined by the
mix design.
The contractor shall exercise particularly tight control on the water content for
fairfaced concrete the colour of which is sensitive to small variations of water in the
mix.
When a suitable water cement ratio has been determined and agreed with the
Project Manager/ Engineer In charge, it shall be maintained throughout the
corresponding part of works. Approved tests shall be undertaken periodically by the
contractor to satisfy the Project Manager/ Engineer In charge of the maintenance of
the consistency. However the amount of water added to a mix other than for fair
faced concrete may be reduced below the agreed design amount with the consent of
the Project Manager/ Engineer In charge if the contractor is able to demonstrate that
such a reduction is consistent with producing concrete of the required workability and
characteristic strength.

The contractor shall frequently test the concrete for slump-cone test. The slump at
the point of placing as measured in accordance with the methods laid down IS: 1199
shall not be more than 75 mm and not less than 40 mm except for concrete
containing a retarding / plasticizer admixture when the initial slump shall be 100 mm
± 25 mm.
3.9 REQUIREMENT OF CONTROLLED MIXES
The measure of quality control exercised by the contractor in the manufacture of the
concrete at site shall be the Standard Deviation derived from the analysis of cube
results tested in accordance with IS : 516.
The contractor shall design each concrete mix to have mean strength greater than
the required characteristic strength by at least the current margin defined as 1.65
times the Standard Deviation. In the first instance the contractor shall assume a
Standard Deviation of 5.5 N/mm2.
Should the analysis of the first 30 cube test results of concrete of nominally similar
proportions of similar materials and produced over a period exceeding 5 days but not
exceeding 6 months by the same plant under similar supervision show the Standard
Deviation to be less than 4.5 N/mm2 the mix may be re-designed assuming a
Standard Deviation of 4.25 N/mm2 in which case the contractor shall submit details
of the proposed new mix proportions to Project Manager/ Engineer In charge for his
consideration.
Should the further analysis of the next 100 cube test result of concrete of nominally
similar proportions of similar materials and produced over a period not exceeding 12
months by the same plant under same supervision show the Standard Deviation to
be less than 3.75 N/mm2 the contractor may re-design the mix assuming a Standard
Deviation of 3.5 N/mm2 and shall submit the details of the proposed new mix
proportions to the Project Manager for his consideration.
If at any time the statistical minimum strength of the concrete defined as the mean
strength minus 1.64 times the actual Standard Deviation as determined from cube
test results falls below the characteristic strength, the mix shall be re-designed by the
Contractor. Details of the new mix proportions shall be submitted to the Project
Manager for his comments and the contractor's supervision and degree of control
over mix proportions shall be improved.
For concrete designed to be used for pumping, the aggregates shall comply with the
limits set in equivalent of ASTM – C33 and necessary field test shall be carried out
with recommended dosage of approved super plasticizer and establish its pumpable
quality.

The acceptance criteria are as per IS: 456.
3.10 APPROVAL OF DESIGN MIXES
The contractor shall submit to the Project Manager/ Engineer In charge for comment
sufficient evidence based on trial mixes that for each grade of concrete the intended
workability, the proposed mix proportions and the method of manufacture will
produce concrete of the required quality.
The contractors shall obtain from the Project Manager/ Engineer In charge his written
approval on the mix design for each grade of concrete before any concrete of that
grade is placed in the works.
For each grade of concrete, three separate batches of concrete shall be made by the
contractor using materials typical of the proposed supply and under full-scale site
conditions.
The workability of each of the trial batches shall be determined and 6 specimen
preliminary test cubes shall be produced from each trial batch. Three cubes of each
set shall be tested at 7 days and the remaining 3 cubes of each set shall be tested at
28 days.
The trial mix proportions for each grade of concrete shall be considered satisfactory if
the mean strength of the 9 cubes tested at 28 days exceeds the specified
characteristic strength by between 0.6 and 1.2 times the current margin and the least
cube strength is greater than the specified characteristic strength and the contractor
has satisfied the Project Manager/ Engineer In charge that the concrete contains the
correct amount of cement and the free water cement ratio is below the maximum
specified value.
Following agreement with the Project Manager/ Engineer In charge on the trial mix
proportions, should the contractor wish to make substantial changes in the materials
or in the proportions of the materials to be used in a mix, the Project Manager/
Engineer In charge will require further trial mixes to be made and their results
submitted for the comments prior to such materials or proportions being adopted by
the contractor, except that no such trial mixes will be required under clause 1.11 of
this specification.

3.11 TEST CUBES
The strength of concrete either in assessing the suitability of the trial mixes or when
placed in the works shall be determined from 150 mm cubes made, cured, stored,
transported and tested in accordance with IS:516. Test cubes shall be made as,
where and when the Project Manager may require.
Test cubes shall be made under the direct supervision of the competent person
appointed by the contractor to supervise all stages of the preparation and placing of
concrete. They shall be made by the contractor in the presence of the Project
Manager/ Engineer In charge generally from concrete taken at the point of discharge
from the mixer and the contractor shall provide suitable facilities in the form of a hut
or other covered protection as agreed with or directed by the Project Manager/
Engineer In charge for the storing and curing of the test cubes during the first 24
hours after making them and until they are dispatched to the testing laboratory.
Test cubes shall be marked and dated in such a manner that the grade and the part
of the works in which the concrete they represent, has been placed, can be readily
identified.
Testing shall be done in an approved laboratory at the site itself and the results shall
be submitted promptly by the contractor to the Project Manager/ Engineer In charge.
3.12 WORKS TESTS
When concrete of a particular grade is first used in the works, 2 cubes shall be taken
from 3 separate batches during each of the first 7 days of using that grade. Of these
6 cubes made daily, 3 cubes (each cube representing concrete made of a different
batch) shall be tested at 7 days and the remaining 3 cubes shall be tested at 28
days. For every subsequent 20 m3 of concrete or for every day's concreting be the
less in volume, 6 cubes shall be made for each grade of concrete and tested at 7 and
28 days as above.
Dry Shrinkage: Dry Shrinkage test shall be as per IS 516
Chemical Analysis: Sampling and testing requirements to be as per IS 516
If the mean concrete strength determined from such 28-day cube tests does not
reach the characteristic strength for that grade, the materials and / or their
proportions for that grade shall be modified by the contractor to the satisfaction of the
In addition the contractor shall at his own expense take such actions, as the Project
Manager/ Engineer In charge may consider necessary on the concrete placed in the
part of the works represented by the set of cubes so found to be below the
characteristic strength.
3.13. CONCRETE MIXING
All concrete, whether ordinary or controlled shall be mixed in an approved mixer for
the minimum time necessary to ensure adequate quality and uniform distribution of
the materials. The cement and aggregates shall normally be first mixed dry until all
particles of aggregate are coated with cement after which the water shall be added.
Allowance shall be made for the moisture content of the sand added for each mix.

The temperature of the aggregate, water and cement when added to the mixer shall
be such that the temperature of the concrete at the time of placement is less than
40o C.
Materials for concrete shall be deposited into the drum while it is in rotation. Mixers
shall not be loaded beyond their rated capacity and each batch shall be completely
discharged from the drum before recharging takes place.
Facilities shall be provided to spray the mixer drum with cool water between batches
and on the completion of concreting the drum shall be washed down. The surface of
the mixer drum shall be maintained in a clean condition at all times.
Retampering and / or mixing of concrete, which has partially hardened and set, will
not be permitted under any circumstances.
3.14 ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA
The acceptance standards for works represented by various tests shall be deemed to
have been attained if the results comply with the Specific Standards or standards as
approved by the Project Manager/ Engineer In charge in writing.
3.15 DEFECTIVE WORKS
Should test results, which do not comply with the specification, be obtained during
the progress of the work the structural work represented by such tests shall be
regarded as un-acceptable. The Project Manager/ Engineer In charge may permit
postponement of demolition and reconstruction should the Contractor wish him to
consider the results of further test selected by the Project Manager/ Engineer In
charge From the followings:
Loading tests to a specification prepared by the Project Manager/ Engineer In

charge.
Compressive Strength tests on cores cut from the work at positions determined by
the Project Manager/ Engineer In charge.
Chemical Analysis of samples cut from the work at position determined by the Project
Manager.
Such other tests as may be approved by the Project Manager/ Engineer In charge.
Such additional tests, demolitions, reconstruction, modifications as approved by the

Project Manager/ Engineer In charge. Shall be carried out by the Contractor without
any claim for extra costs/ time.
3.16 RECORDS:
In addition, the Contractor shall keep in record and sent to the Project Manager in a
required Performa, the following information’s for every cube tested. This is in
addition to the information required by I S 516
a) Date of Casting
b) Date of receipt of cubes in the laboratory
c) Mix and/ or Concrete Quality

d) Slump
e) Section of work represented by test cube, pour location of sampled concrete

One cube shall be tested at 7 days and one at 28 days.
3.17 TRANSPORTING
The period between mixing the concrete and placing it in the final position shall be
kept to a minimum and the delivery of concrete shall be co-ordinated with the rate of
placement to avoid delays in delivery and placement. Concrete shall be handled from
the place of mixing to the place of final deposit by methods, which prevent
segregation, loss of ingredients and contamination and maintain the required
workability. Use of transit mixers of adequate capacity is intended. Concrete pump
location w.r.t placement shall be got approved prior to commencing the mixing.
Should any segregation have occurred in any batches arriving at the place of
deposition, such batches shall be deposited and thoroughly turned over by hand
before placing in the works. Where concrete is conveyed by chutes, the chutes shall
be made of metal or fitted with metal linings. The approval of the Project Manager/
Engineer In charge shall be obtained for the use of chutes in excess of 3 meters long
and in such cases the concrete shall be remixed if so required by the Project
All plant and equipment used in the transportation of concrete shall be thoroughly
cleaned before and after each working period and at all changes of concrete mixes.
Water used for this purpose shall be discharged well clear place.
Necessary Guideline provided in ACI Guide 304R-89 shall be applicable for

transportation and placing of pumped concrete.
3.18 PREPARATION BEFORE CONCRETING
The inside surface of the forms against which concrete is to be placed shall be clean
and free from dried or hardened spattering or coatings of concrete. The forms shall
be well wetted before placing concrete.
When the work has to be resumed on a surface which has hardened. such surface
shall be roughened. It shall then be swept clean, thoroughly wetted and covered with
12 mm layer of freshly mixed mortar composed of cement and sand (in the same
ratio as the cement and sand in the concrete mix) immediately before placing of
concrete.
Before any concrete is placed on the sub grade, the sub grade shall be checked and
approved for degree of compaction and alignment. The sub grade shall be kept
damp ahead of concreting. Concrete shall not be placed in the works until the
Project Manager has inspected the formwork, reinforcement, inserts and sleeves if
any and given his permission to place concrete by signing prescribed
"POURCARD". In case multiple agencies are involved in placing the inserts /
services, building contractor / civil works agency shall be responsible to obtain sign –
off on the pour card for proper and non-dislodgeable insert / sleeves.

3.19 PLACING
Concreting of any portion of the works shall be done only in the presence of the
representatives of the Project Manager/ Engineer In charge. Concreting shall be
carried out continuously always against shuttered surfaces between construction,
contraction or expansion joints shown on the drawings or agreed by Project
Manager/ Engineer In charge. The contractor shall closely follow the sequence of
concreting where such is specified on the drawings. If concreting is interrupted
before reaching the predetermined joint an approved construction joint shall be
provided.
Immediately before placing of concrete for columns and walls, the reinforcement
within and the old concrete at the bottom of the formwork shall be given a coating of
cement sand mortar of the identical materials and proportions to be used in the
subsequent concrete, to prevent the loss of fine material from the initial concrete
pour.
Concrete shall be deposited as nearly as is practicable to its final position and shall
not be dumped in a large quantity at any point to be run or worked along the
formwork manually or with vibrators. Concrete shall not be deposited at a faster rate
than it can be placed and compacted.
Concrete shall be thoroughly worked into the forms so that they are entirely filled;
reinforcing bars adequately and tightly surrounded and entrained air released from
the mass of concrete. Placing shall be carried out by hand prodding as well as
vibrators in a manner directed by the Project Manager/ Engineer In charge.
The concrete shall be placed in layers not greater than 450 mm thickness and
thoroughly compacted before succeeding layers are placed. Concrete shall be
placed in a single operation to the full thickness of slabs, beams and similar
members. No concrete shall be placed on concrete which has set sufficiently to
cause the formation of planes of weakness and where these are likely to occur due to
unforeseen circumstances the procedure to be followed shall be as for clause 1.16 of
this specification. During concreting, care shall be taken to see that position of
inserts / embedments are not disturbed.
3.20 COMPACTION
Each layer of concrete while being deposited shall be compacted by approved

methods to form a dense material with all surfaces free from honeycombing, air holes
or other blemishes.
The contractor shall use mechanical vibration for all concrete and shall take care that
internal vibrators shall not be brought into contact with the reinforcement or the
formwork. Where external vibration of the forms is not adopted for fairfaced surfaces,
the concrete shall be rodded adjacent to such surfaces in addition to internal
vibrating.
An adequate number of vibrators shall be used to ensure that compaction of concrete

of concrete is achieved within 10 minutes of placing. Particular attention shall be
given to the compaction of the concrete around the water bars to ensure that no
voids or porous areas are left.

Compacting shall cease as soon as excess water appears on the face of concrete.
Any water accumulating on the surface of newly placed concrete shall be removed by
approved methods and no further concrete shall be placed thereon until such water
has been removed.
Notwithstanding the requirements regarding mix design, should it be found that the
proportion of water in the mix is such that laitance forms before compaction (i.e.
completion of expulsion of air) is complete; the quantity of water in the mix shall be
reduced. No water shall be added to concrete after mixing has been completed, but
where the proportion of water in the mix is such that it is impossible to achieve
complete compaction, the quantities of aggregate shall be reduced without any
alteration to the quantities of cement and water. Whenever either of the aforesaid
procedures are to be adopted, an additional set of 6 cubes for testing at 7 or 28 days
shall be made from the adjusted mix.
The time elapsing between the discharge of the concrete from the mixer and the
completion of compaction shall not exceed 30 minutes.
A sufficient number of spare vibrators shall be kept readily accessible to the place of
deposition of concrete to assure adequate vibration in case of breakdown of those in
use.
3.21 FINISHES
All concrete surfaces shall have a good, dense finish. Except for slabs, the exposed
faces of concrete for which formwork is not provided shall be smoothed with a steel
or wooden trowel to provide a finish equal to that face where formwork is provided.
The top surfaces of all floor and roof slabs specified as smooth shall be levelled and
trawled before the concrete begins to set to a smooth finish at the levels of floors
shown on the drawings. The trawling shall be done at such a time and in such a
manner that an excess of mortar is not brought to the surfaces of concrete nor the
aggregate displaced. The top surfaces of concrete slabs specified to receive an
integral finish should be uniformly roughened by deep hacking before the finish is
laid.
Immediately after striking the formwork and removing any superficial water,
honeycombed areas in normal unfinished concrete shall be inspected by the Project
Manager/ Engineer In charge and where directed the contractor shall immediately
make good at his own expense such honeycombing while the concrete is still green
to the satisfaction of the Project Manager/ Engineer In charge. All air holes shall be
similarly filled in.
The contractor shall be responsible for providing an adequate key in concrete where
plastering or rendering is specified to be applied. Hacking of the concrete surface
immediately after striking the formwork will be permitted.
The faces of all fair faced concrete shall be of even colour throughout, free from air
bubbles, cracks, honeycombing or other blemishes and will be inspected by the
Project Manager/ Engineer In charge immediately after the formwork has been
struck. Such faces shall not be rubbed down after striking the formwork to remove
fins, efflorescence or any similar imperfections without the prior permission of the
Project Manager.

Concrete surface finishes shall be according to the requirements and all instructions
by the Project Manager/ Engineer In charge with regard to the method of achieving
such finishes shall be implemented.
3.22 CURING AND PROTECTING
3.22.1 Walling on concrete shall not be permitted for at least 24 hours after it has been
placed in position, or for such additional length of time as Project Manager/ Engineer
In charge may direct. Immediately after compaction and completion of any surface
finishes, the concrete shall be protected from the evaporation of moisture/ premature
drying out by means of polythene sheeting, wet cession or other similar material kept
soaked by spraying. As soon as the concrete has attained a degree of hardening
sufficient to withstand surface damage, moist curing shall be implemented and
maintained for a period of at least 15days after casting.
Method of curing and their duration shall be such that the concrete will have
satisfactory durability and strength and members will suffer a minimum distortion, be
free from excessive efflorescence and will not cause, by its shrinkage, undue
cracking in the works.
Curing of concrete shall be achieved by the application of an acceptable proprietary
curing agent properly applied to all exposed concrete surfaces within 30minutes of
casting or removing formwork and then immediately covering the surface with a
double layer of Hessian.
Concrete in beams haunches shall be covered with two layer of Hessian tied down
so that drying winds are excluded from the surfaces. All Hessian shall be kept
continuously wet with water complying with this specification from the time of fixing
throughout the curing period.
Nominal Curing Period: Seven days is the minimum curing period for all cast in place
concrete under normal weather conditions (temperature around 25 to 27 deg.C. and
normal wind speed.
This period shall be extended to a minimum of 10 to 14 days under hot weather or

drying wind conditions.
The top surfaces of slabs and other horizontal surfaces shall be cured by impounding
water in cement mortar bunds. Steeply sloping and vertical formed surfaces shall be
kept completely and continuously moist prior to and during the striking of formwork by
applying water to the top surfaces and allowing it to pass down between the
formwork and the concrete.
The contractor shall give careful consideration to the curing methods and conditions
for fair faced concrete. Components, which are specified to have exposed concrete
finish, shall receive the same curing treatment. Moreover water used for curing shall
be clean so as not to discolour the concrete.
3.22.2 All fair faced concrete shall be protected from damaged from the time of striking the
formwork. All edges and surfaces of such concrete shall be protected from chipping
using notched timber corner pieces or other suitable covers, which shall be
maintained, in place until the completion of the works.

The contractor shall be responsible for ensuring all fair faced concrete free of stains
from concrete materials and shall clean all such staining as may occur at his own
cost as soon as possible to the satisfaction of the Project Manager.
3.22.3 SHORE AND SUPPORTS
The Contractor shall not placed loads on any part of structure in excess of those for
which it is designed without the prior written approval of the Project Manager/
Engineer In charge.
Temporary loads imposed by new construction at upper levels shall be carried down
by adequate propping to lower levels of construction which have attained the 28 days
strength and which are designed for equivalent loadings. Where this requirement
necessitates the distribution of the temporary load between two or more levels of
construction, adequate re- propping with suitable and approved materials at the
soffits of slab, beams shall be provided after removal of the form wok and props at
the lower levels and shall be maintained undisturbed until the new construction at the
upper level has attained it’s specified 28 days strength.
The Contractor shall submit to the Project Manager/ Engineer In charge full details of
any supports, which he proposes to leave permanently embedded in the concrete,
and shall obtain prior approval in writing before proceeding with the work.
3.22(A) HOT WEATHER CONCRETING

When the shade temperature is 400 C or above the contractor shall employ all
necessary precautions for proper concrete placement and curing as laid down below,
or else, make arrangements for concreting during evening and night hours, subject to
approval of Project Manager/ Engineer In charge.
Concreting during extreme (hot or cold) weather shall be done as per IS: with the
following specifications over ruling the IS: 7861. In very hot weather, precaution shall
be taken to see that the temperature of wet concrete does not exceed 300 C while
placing.
HOT WEATHER CONCRETING PREPARATION
Well in advance of concreting, preparation shall be done with necessary equipment

and materials as under ample water supply for curing and sprinkling over sub-grades,
wood forms, reinforcing steel, aggregates etc.
SCHEDULING
The work shall be scheduled so that concrete is placed in position with least delay.
During extremely hot periods, concreting work shall be started in the afternoon to
take advantage of lower evening temperature and wind.
COOLING OF MATERIALS
All materials used for concreting shall be kept cool at the temperature specified in
IS:7861 by storing them in shade wherever possible, sprinkling coarse aggregate
with water and protecting water supply from direct sun rays. Mixing water shall be
chilled in very hot weather by refrigeration or by using ice as part of mixing water.
The ice should be melted by the time the concrete is discharged from the mixer.

MOISTENING
For concrete on ground, the sub-grade shall be dampened the evening before the
concreting. However prior to placing concrete there should be no standing water or
puddles on the sub-grade is allowed. Reinforcing steel and wood forms shall be
thoroughly moistened just before placing concrete.
TEMPORARY COVERS
Immediately after the concrete is placed, vibrated and levelled temporary covers
such as burlap shall be placed over the fresh concrete and kept continuously wet
when ready for floating and/or final finish, uncover only a small section immediately
ahead of the finishing cover again at once after final finish and keep the cover wet.
PROTECTION FROM WIND AND SUN
When high winds also prevail along with hot weather, the fresh concrete shall be
protected by placing a wind breaker on the windward side of hot days. The concrete
shall be protected from direct sunlight by erecting a sunshade or by taking advantage
of the shade from near by buildings or trees if any.
CURING
As soon as the concrete surface is hard enough to resist marring curing shall be
started kept covered with polyethylene film, water proof paper, or water holding
materials such as straw, or burlap or by spraying or a curing compound. If curing
compound is used it should be applied after final finishing care should be taken that
adequate and uniform coverage is obtained. The concrete surface shall be kept
constantly wet. The curing shall be continued for a specified number of days.
RECORDING WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather conditions like humidity, temperature wind and clouds shall be recorded and
made a part of the permanent job record.
TESTING SPECIMENS
In hot weather it is absolutely necessary that sampling making and curing of test
specimens shall be done strictly in conformity with standard specifications. Test
cubes shall definitely be kept damp and in a shady place. They must receive
continuous standard moist work until tested.

3.26 LOAD TESTING ON COMPLETED STRUCTURES
During the period of construction or within the defect liability period the Project
Manager/ Engineer In charge may at his discretion order the load testing of any

completed structure or any part thereof if he has reasonable doubts about the
adequacy of the strength of such structure for any of the following reasons: -
a) Results of compressive strength on concrete test cubes falling below the

specified strength.
b) Premature removal of formwork
c) Inadequate curing of concrete
d) Over loading during the construction of the structure or part thereof
e) Carrying out concreting of any portion without prior approval of the Project
Manager.
f) Honey combed or damaged concrete, which in the opinion of the Project
Manager is week and will adversely affect the stability of the structure to carry
the design load, particularly important or critical areas of the structure.
g) Any other circumstances attributable to alleged negligence of the contractor,
which in the opinion of the Project Manager/ Engineer In charge may result in
the structure or any part thereof being of less than the expected designed
strength.
All the loading tests shall be carried out by the contractor strictly in accordance with
the instructions of the Project Manager/ Engineer In charge. Such tests should be
carried out only after expiry of minimum 28 days or such longer period as directed by
the Project Manager/ Engineer In charge.
The structure should be subjected to a super-imposed load equal to 1.25 times the
specified superimposed load assumed in the design. This load shall be maintained
for a period of 24 hours before removal. During the test, struts strong enough to take
the whole load shall be placed in position leaving a gap under the members as
directed.
The deflection due to the superimposed load shall be recorded by sufficient number
of approved deflectometers capable of reading unto 1/500 of a cm and located
suitably under the structure as directed by the Project Manager/ Engineer In charge.
If within 24 hours of the removal of the superimposed load, the structure does not
recover at least 75% of the deflection under the superimposed load, the test loading
shall be repeated after a lapse of 72 hours. If the recovery after the second test is
less than 80% of the maximum deflection shown during the second test, the structure
shall be considered to have failed to pass the test and shall be deemed to be
unacceptable.
In such cases the part of the work concerned shall be taken down or cut out and
reconstructed to comply with the specifications. Other remedial measures may be
taken to make the structure secure at the discretion of the Project Manager. However
such remedial measures shall be carried out to the complete satisfaction of the
Project Manager.
All costs involved in carrying out the tests and other incidental expenses there to
shall be borne by the contractor regardless of the results of the tests. The contractor
shall take down cut-out and reconstruct the defective work or shall make the remedial
measures instructed at his own cost, if there are any lapses on the part of the
contractor.
In addition to the above listed tests, non destructive tests methods such as core test
and ultrasonic pulse velocity test shall be carried out by the contractor at his own
expense if so desired by the Project Manager/ Engineer In charge. Such tests shall

be carried out by an agency approved by the Project Manager/ Engineer In charge

Contractor must ensure that whilst casting of the floor in multy storied structures the
lower floor on which the shuttering is supported is not overstressed beyond the
characteristic design imposed load of the floor. It will be necessary to ensure that at
least two slabs are supported by vertical staging whilst casting and the two level
staging would be kept for such time till the contractor shows by calculations and
substantiating by test results that the concrete at the de-shuttering age is not
overstressed. Contractor must submit a sequence of de-propping of the structure to

the approval of Project Manager/ Engineer In charge and work shall proceed only on
approved and established de-shuttering sequence.
9.5 ERECTION OF FORMWORK
Forms shall be used wherever necessary to confirm the concrete during vibration and
to shape it to the required lines. The formwork shall conform to shapes, lines, levels,
and dimensions of the concrete sections shown on the drawings with no crevices at
joint.
Forms shall have sufficient strength to withstand the pressure resulting from
placement and vibration of concrete and shall be maintained rigidly in position.
Formwork shall be adequately supported by adequate number and size of struts,
braces, ties and props to ensure rigidity of forms as to retain form work position
without displacement or deflection during the placing and compaction of concrete.
Where props rest on natural or filled up ground, to avoid any settlement, the soil shall
be thoroughly compacted and bases of props shall be of sufficient size so as to
restrict the bearing pressure on the ground to 5 T / sqm.
Forms shall be tight enough to prevent loss of mortar from the concrete and to
produce a dense, homogeneous and uniformly coloured concrete completely free
from honeycombing or surface roughness. Joints in formwork shall be designed to
prevent leakage, not only between individual elements forming the panels but also
from the horizontal and vertical junction between the panels themselves.
Contractor has to take all necessary care to minimize fins, ridges, offsets, leaking of
fins and other defects.
If formwork is held together by bolts or wires, those shall be so fixed that no
reinforcement bar is exposed on surface against which concrete is to be laid. The
Project Manager/ Engineer In charge may at his discretion allow the contractor to use
tie bolts running through the concrete at his own cost.
Hole left in the concrete by these tie-bolts shall be filled as specified by Project
Manager/ Engineer In charge, by the contractor at his own expense.
Formwork shall be constructed so as facilitate loosening and permit removal without

jarring the concrete. Wedges, clamps and bolts shall be used wherever practicable
instead of nails.
9.6 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL
All formwork erected shall be inspected & approved by the Project Manager/
Engineer In charge before concreting/Reinforcement is started.
9.7 CLEANING AND OILING OF FORMS
At the time concrete is placed in the forms, the surface of the forms in contact with
the concrete shall be free from encrustation of mortar, grout or other foreign material.
Temporary openings shall be left at the bottom of formwork to enable sawdust,
shavings, wire cutting and other foreign material to be worked out from the interior of
the forms before the concrete is placed.
The surface of the forms to be in contact with the concrete shall be coated with an
approved coating that will effectively prevent sticking and will not stain the concrete
surfaces. After each use the surfaces of forms in contact with concrete shall be

cleaned, well wetted and treated with form oil approved by the Project Manager/
Engineer In charge Lubricating (machine) oils shall not be used.
Oiling shall be done before reinforcement has been placed and care shall be taken
that no oil comes in contact with the reinforcement while it is being placed in position.
Immediately before concreting is commenced the formwork shall be carefully

examined to see that all dirt, shavings, sawdust and other refuse have been removed
and the formwork shall be wetted thoroughly to prevent absorption of water from
concrete. The formwork shall be kept wet during concreting and for the whole time
that it is left in place.
9.8 REMOVAL OF FORMWORK
Formwork shall be removed carefully so as to prevent damage to the concrete.

Wooden wedges only shall be used between the concrete surface and the form
where force is necessary to separate the form from the concrete. Metal wedges, bars
or tools shall not be used for this purpose. Any concrete damaged in the process of
removing the forms shall be repaired in accordance with the provision of concrete
specifications.
Removal of bottom form linings between props prior to the removal of supports may
be permitted provided the formwork has been designed to allow such removals
without disturbing the supports.
All non-supporting forms shall be loosened and removed during regular working
hours, and as soon as the concrete has hardened sufficiently to prevent damage
from the removal of the forms. All false work and forms supporting concrete beams
and slabs, or other members subject to direct bending. stress, shall not be removed
or released until the concrete has attained sufficient strength to ensure structural
stability and to carry both the dead and live loads including any construction loads
which may be placed upon it.
Unless otherwise permitted in writing by the Project Manager/ Engineer In charge,

the forms shall not be stripped in less than the minimum periods specified in IS :
456. However the Project Manager/ Engineer In charge may increase the above
period if he considers it necessary for structural stability.
No permanent structure shall be erected on any part of the structure while it is still
supported by formwork unless walls are built above another wall carried on a
properly supported base.
All formwork shall be struck without jarring the concrete or subjecting it to sudden
shocks. Supports shall be slowly eased so that the concrete is stressed gradually
during striking of the formwork.
No construction loads exceeding the combination of superimposed dead load plus

specified live load shall be supported on any unshared portion of the structure under
construction, unless analysis indicates adequate strength to support such additional
loads.
If props are required to support loads imposed by subsequent construction work at

the same level, for example in shrinkage bays, they shall not be removed until such
subsequent construction has attend its specified 28 days strength.

Formwork shall be removed in such a manner so as not to impair safety and

serviceability of the structure. It shall be removed gradually to prevent sudden
application of loads to the concrete. All concrete to be exposed, shall have sufficient
strength to prevent any damage caused by removal of formwork.
For all normal conditions where the early crushing strength is not known the following
table may be used as a guide: -

9.11 FORMWORK FOR SLOPED SURFACES
Forms for sloped surfaces shall be built so that the formwork can be placed board-
by-board immediately ahead of concrete placement, vibration, inspection and repair
of the concrete.

The formwork shall also be built so that the boards can be removed one by one form
the bottom up as soon as the concrete has attained sufficient stiffness to prevent
sagging. Surface of construction joints and finished surfaces with slopes steeper
than 4 horizontal: 1 Vertical shall be formed as required herein.
9.12 FORMWORK FOR CURVED SURFACES
The contractor shall interpolate intermediate sections as necessary and shall

construct the forms so that the curvature will be continuous between sections.
Where necessary to meet requirements for curvature, the form lumber shall be built
up of laminated splice, cut to make tight, smooth form surfaces.
9.13 ARCHITECTURAL FINISHING SURFACES
9.13.1 Formwork for Exposed Concrete Surfaces
Where it is desired, directed or shown on the drawings to have original fair face finish
of concrete surface without any rendering or plastering, formwork shall be carried out
by using wood planks, plywood or steel plates of approved quality and as per
direction of the Project Manager/ Engineer In charge.
The Contractor shall use one type of material for all exposed surfaces and the forms
shall be constructed so as to produce a uniform and consistent texture and pattern
on the face of the concrete. Patches on forms for these surfaces will not be
permitted. The formwork shall be placed so that all horizontal formworks are
continuous across the entire surface. If forms are constructed of lumber and are not
panelled the formwork shall be staggered. To achieve a finish, which shall be free of
board marks, the formwork shall be faced with plywood or equivalent material in large
sheets. The sheets shall be arranged in an approved pattern. Wherever possible,
joints between sheets shall be arranged to coincide with architectural features, sills,
window heads or change in direction of the surface. All joints between panels shall
be vertical or horizontal unless otherwise directed. Suitable joints shall be provided
between sheets. The joints shall be arranged and fitted so that no blemish or mark is
imparted to the finished surfaces.
To achieve a finish which shall give the rough appearance of concrete cast against
sawn boards, formwork boards unless otherwise stated shall an average 150mm
wide, securely jointed with tongued and grooved joints if required to prevent grout
loss with tie rod positions and directions of boards carefully controlled. Sawn boards
shall be set horizontally, vertically or at an inclination as shown in the drawings. All
bolt holes shall be accurately aligned horizontally and vertically and shall be filled
with matching mortar recessed 5mm back from the surrounding concrete face.
Forms for exposed concrete surfaces shall be constructed with grade strips (the
under side of which indicates top of pour) at horizontal construction joints, unless the
use of groove strips is specified on the drawings. Such forms shall be removed and
reset from lift to lift. Sheathing of reset forms shall be tightened against the concrete
so that the forms will not spread and permit abrupt irregularities or loss of mortar.
Supplementary form ties shall be used as necessary to hold the reset form straight
against the concrete.
For fair-faced concrete, the position of through bolts will be restricted and generally
indicated on the drawings. Chamfer strips shall be placed in the corners of forms for

exposed exterior corners so as to produce 20mm bevelled edges except where

otherwise shown in the drawings. Interior corners and edges at formed joints shall
not be bevelled unless shown on the drawings.
Mouldings for grooves, drip courses and bands shall be made in the form itself. The
wood planks, plywood and steel plates used in formwork for obtaining exposed
surfaces shall not be used for more than 3 times in case of wood planks, 6 times for
plywood and 10 times for steel plates respectively. However no forms will be allowed
for reuse, if in the opinion of the Project Manager/ Engineer In charge is doubtful to
produce desired texture of irregularities of exposed concrete.
In order to obtain exposed concrete work of uniform colour it shall be necessary to
ensure that the sand used for all exposed concrete work shall be of approved uniform
colour. Moreover the cement used in the concrete for any complete element shall be
from single consignment.
No exposed concrete surface shall be rendered or painted with cement or otherwise.

Plastering of defective concrete as a means of achieving the required finish shall not
be permitted, except in the case of minor porosity on the surface the Project
Manager/ Engineer In charge may allow a surface treatment by rubbing down with
cement and sand mortar of the same richness and colour as for the concrete. This
treatment shall be made immediately after removing the formwork.
The contractor shall also take all precautionary measures to prevent breaking and
chipping of corners and edges of completed work until the building is handed over.
Extra payment for shuttering of exposed surface of concrete shall be made for such
exposed surfaces as are visible after the completion of work.
No extra payment of surfaces covered under false ceilings, skirting, veneering, or for
shuttering have exposed surfaces of concrete as are not visible after the completion
of the work shall be made under this item. No extra claims on account of working
chamfers, grooves, drip courses, band etc. shall be entertained.
9.13.2 Finishing of Formed Surfaces
Unless otherwise specified after removal of forms the surfaces of concrete shall be
given one or more of the finishes specified below in locations designated by the
contract documents.
9.13.3 Cement Plaster Finish
The concrete surface shall be properly roughened immediately after the shuttering is
removed, taking care to remove that laitance completely without disturbing the
concrete. The roughening shall be done by hacking. Before the surface is plastered,
it shall be cleaned and wetted so as to give good bond between concrete and plaster.
After surface preparation the exposed formed surface of R C C work shall be
plastered with cement mortar 1:3 of thickness not less than 6 mm to give a smooth
and even surface true to line and form.
9.13.4 Rough Form Finish
No selected form facing materials shall be required for rough form finish surfaces. Tie
holes and defect shall be patched with cement mortar. Fins exceeding 6mm in height
shall be chipped off or rubbed off. Otherwise, surfaces shall be left with the texture
imparted by the form.

9.13.5 Smooth Form Finish
The form facing material shall produce a smooth, hard uniform texture on the
concrete. It may be plywood, tampered concrete-form-grade hard board, metal,
plastic, paper or other approved material capable of producing the desired finish. The
arrangement of the facing material shall be orderly and symmetrical with the number
of seams kept to the practical minimum. It shall be supported by studs other backing
capable of preventing excessive deflection material with raised grain, torn surfaces,
worn edges, patches, dents, or other defects which will impair the texture of the
concrete surface shall not be used. Tie holes and defects shall be patched. All the
fins shall be completely removed.
9.13.6 Architecturally Exposed as Cast Finish
The formed surfaces shall be left as it comes out after removal of forms, barring
minor patching. Control is to be exercised on choice of materials of concrete, cover of
concrete shuttering, etc.as detailed out in the specifications for architecturally
exposed concrete.
9.13.7 Architecturally Exposed Smooth Rubbed Finish
General requirements of architectural exposed concrete shall govern. The form work
shall be chosen to produce smooth form finish-smooth rubbed finish shall be produce
on newly hardened concrete no later than the day following from removal. Surfaces
shall be wetted and rubbed with carborandum stone or other abrasive until uniform
colour and texture are produced. No cement grout shall be used other than the
cement paste drawn from the concrete itself by the rubbing process.
