5. REINFORCED CEMENT CONCRETE AND ALLIED WORKS
5.1 General
Steel reinforcement bars shall be of T.M.T. steel of standard specifications and shall be
free from corrosion, loose rust scales, oil, grease, paint, etc. the steel bar shall be round
and capable of being bent (double over) without fracture. Bars shall be hooked and bend
accurately and placed in position as per design and drawing and bound together tight with
20 SWG annealed steel wire at their point of intersection. Framework and shuttering shall
be made with ply or steel plate close and tight to prevent leakage of mortar, with
necessary props. Bracing’s and wedges, sufficiently strong and stable and should not yield
on laying concrete and made in such a way that they can be slackened and removed
gradually without disturbing the concrete. For slab and beam small camber should be
given in centering, 1 cm per 2.5 m with a maximum of 4 cm. Centering should not be
removed before 14 days in general (4 days for RCC columns, 10 days for roof slab, and
14 days for beams).
Proportion of cement concrete : Cement concrete shall be of M- 20 for slab, beams and
lintels and columns unless otherwise specified.
Materials for concrete : The stone aggregate shall usually be 20mm to 6mm gauge
unless otherwise specified. For heavily reinforced concrete members as in the case of ribs
of main beams the maximum size of aggregate should usually be restricted to 5mm less
than the minimum clear distance between the main bars or 5mm less than the minimum
cover to the reinforcement whichever is smaller. Mixing is done in the same manner as in
PCC. Before laying the concrete, the shuttering shall be clean, free from dust, dirt and
other foreign matter. The concrete shall be deposited (not dropped) in its final position. In
case of columns and wall it is desirable to place concrete in full height if practical so as
to avoid construction joints but the progress of concreting in the vertical direction
shall be restricted to one metre. Care should be taken that the time between mixing and
placing of concrete shall not exceed 20 minutes so that the initial setting process is not
interfered with. During the winters concreting shall not be done if the temperature falls
below 40 C. Concrete shall be compacted by mechanical vibrating machine until a dense
concrete is obtained. The vibration shall continue during the entire period of placing
concrete. Compaction shall be completed before the initial setting starts, i.e. within 30
minutes of addition of water to the dry mixture. Over vibration, which will separate
coarse aggregate from concrete, shall be avoided. After removal of the form work in due
time, the concrete surface shall be free from honey combing, air holes or any other defect.
Concrete shall be laid continuously, if laying is suspended for rest or for the following
day the end shall be shuttered and vibrated to achieve dense concrete and made rough
after deshuttering for further jointing. When the work is resumed, the previous portion
shall be roughened, cleaned and watered and a grout of neat cement shall be applied and
the fresh concrete shall be laid. For successive layer the upper layer shall be laid before
the lower has set.

and if the manner of its use is approved by the Engineer. Struts and props shall, where
required by the Engineer, be fitted with double hardwood wedges or other approved
devices so that the moulds may be adjusted and the device locked before the concrete is
cast. Where concrete surface is to be plastered ply shuttering is to be provided.
6.3 Forms
All forms shall be of merine plywood of approved brand such as Anchor / Swastik or mild
85 |
steel or other material approved by the Engineer and shall be fabricated and prepared
water tight and of sufficient rigidity to prevent distortion due to pressure of the concrete
and other incidental loads that may arise due to the construction operations. Forms shall
be constructed and maintained so as to prevent warping and the opening of joints due to
shrinkage of the timber. All forms shall be set and maintained true to the line designated
until the concrete is sufficiently hardened. Forms shall remain in place for periods, which
shall be specified hereinafter. When forms appear to be unsatisfactory in any way, either
before or during the placing of concrete, the Engineer shall order to stop the work until
the defects have been corrected. All formwork shall be approved by the Engineer-in-
charge before concrete is placed within it. The contractor shall be required to submit
copies of his calculations of the strength and stability of the formwork or false work but
not withstanding the Engineer’s approval of these calculations nothing shall relieve the
contractor of his responsibility for the safety or adequacy of the formwork. Formwork
shall be true to line and braced and strutted to prevent deformation under the weight and
pressure of the unset concrete, constructional load, wind and other forces. The deflection
shall not exceed 3mm. Beam bottom shall be erected with an upward camber of 2mm per
meter of the span. The formwork for a column may be erected to the full height of the
column. One side shall be left open and shall be built up in sections as placing of the
concrete proceeds. Before placing the concrete, bolts and fixings shall be in position and
cores and other devices, used for forming openings, holes, chases, recesses and other
cavities shall be filled to the formwork. No holes shall be cut in any concrete unless
approved. An approved mould oil or other material shall be applied to faces of formwork
in contact with unset concrete to prevent adherence of the non-staying concrete. Such
coating shall be insoluble in water, non-staying and non-detrimental to the concrete and
shall not be flaky or removed by wash water.
Tolerance in finished concrete
The formwork shall be so made as to produce a finished concrete true to shape, lines,
level, plumb and dimensions as shown in the drawing subject to the following tolerance,
unless otherwise specified in drawings or directed by the Engineer.
Sectional dimensions - 5mm
Plumb - 1 in 1000 of height
Levels - 3mm before any deflection has taken place
The tolerances given above are specified for local aberration in the finished concrete
surface and should not be taken the tolerance for the entire structure taken as a whole.
6.4 Falsework & Centering
The contractor shall supply detailed plans for false work or centering if specifically asked
for by the Engineer at least 14 days in advance of the time the contractor begins
construction of the false work. Not withstanding the approval by the Engineer of any
design for false work submitted by the contractor, the contractor shall be solely
responsible for the strength, safety and adequacy of the false work or centering. All false
work shall be designed and constructed to provide the necessary rigidity and to support
86 |
the loads from the weight of green concrete and shuttering and incidental construction
loads. False work or centering shall be founded upon a solid footing safe against
undermining and protected from softening. False work, which cannot be founded on
satisfactory footing, shall be supported on piling which shall be spaced, driven and
removed in a manner approved by the Engineer. The Engineer may require the contractor
to employee screw jacks or hardwood wedges to make up any settlement in the formwork
either before or during the placing of concrete. Props of the upper storey shall be placed
directly over those in the storey immediately below. False work shall be set to give the
finished structure the required grade and camber specified on the plans.
6.5 Formwork and Construction joints
Where permanent or temporary joints are to be made in horizontal or inclined members,
stout stopping off boards shall be securely fixed across the mould to form a water tight
joint. The form of the permanent construction joint shall be as shown on the drawings.
Temporary construction joints shall have blocks of timer at least 75mm thick, slightly
tapered to facilitate withdrawal and securely fixed to the face of the stopping off board.
The area of the key or keys so formed shall be at least 30% of the area of the member. The
blocks shall be kept back at least 50mm, from the exposed face of the concrete. Where
reinforcement passes through the face of a construction joint the stopping off board shall
be drilled so that the bars can pass through, or the board shall be made in sections with a
half round indentation in the joints faces for each bar so that when placed, the board is a
neat and accurate fit and no grout leaks from the concrete through the bar holes or joints.
6.6 Removal of Forms & False work
In the determination of the time for the removal of forms, false work and housing,
consideration shall be given to the location and character of the structure, the weather and
other conditions influencing the settings of the concrete and the materials used in the mix.
Forms shall be removed in such a manner as not to injure the concrete and no formwork
shall be removed before the concrete has sufficiently set and hardened. The minimum
periods which shall elapse between the placing and compacting of normal Portland
cement concrete for the various parts of the structures are given in the following table, but
compliance with these requirements shall not relieve the contractor of the obligation to
delay the removal of the form if the concrete has not be sufficiently hard., In normal
circumstances, generally where the temperature are above 20 0 C and where ordinary
cement is used, form may be struck after the expiry of following periods, according to the
relevant clauses of IS 456.
(a) Walls columns and vertical sides of beams 2 days
(b) Slabs – soffit
(i) Spanning upto 4.5m 7 days
(ii) Spanning over 6.0m 14 days
(c) Beams and arches – soffit
(i) Spanning upto 6.0m 14 days
(ii) Spanning over 6.0m 28 days
87 |
Where sulphate resistant cement is used, manufacturer instruction are to be followed. The
Engineer may modify these requirements taking into account the type of cement and
method of compaction used and contractor shall obtain the Engineers written approval for
any decrease in time of striking the formwork given above. The contractor shall notify the
Engineer when he proposes to strike any formwork and formwork shall be struck in the
presence of the Engineer or his representative.
6.7 Reuse of Forms
Only mild steel formwork of best quality or marine plywood formwork shall be used for
concerning purpose. These shuttering shall not be reused unless it is properly scraped
cleaned and repaired. So that it gives a plane, even, fair and dense concrete surface.
6.8 Materials
Water
Water used for cement concrete mortar plaster, grout, curing or washing of sand shall be
clear and free from injurious amounts of Oil, Acid, Alkali, Organic matter or other
harmful substances in such amounts that may impair the strength or durability of the
structure. Potable water shall generally be considered satisfactory for mixing and curing
concrete. In case of doubt regarding development of strength, the suitability of water for
making concrete shall be ascertained by compressive strength and initial setting time
specified in the IS 456: 2000 Code of Practice of Plain and Reinforced concrete. The
Engineer-in-charge may require the contractor to get the water tested from an approved
laboratory at his own expense and in case the water contains any salts or an excess of
acid, alkali, any injurious substances etc., the Engineer-in-charge may refuse its use.
6.9 Aggregate

reinforced concrete, any material which might cause corrosion of the reinforcement.
Aggregate which are chemically reactive with the alkalis of cement shall not be used. The
88 |
maximum quantities of deleterious materials in the aggregate as determined in accordance
with IS : 2386 (Part-II) Methods of Test for Aggregates for Concrete, shall not exceed the
limits given in Table I of IS : 383. The sum of the percentages of all deleterious materials
shall not exceed five. Deleterious materials also include materials passing 75 micron IS
sieve.
Coarse Aggregates
Coarse aggregates is aggregate most of which is retained on 4.75 mm IS : sieve. These
may be obtained from crushed or uncrushed gravel or stone and may be supplied as single
sized or graded aggregates as given in table II of IS : 383. The Engineer-in-charge may
allow graded aggregates to be used provided they satisfy the requirements and table IV of
IS : 383.
Fine Aggregates
Fine aggregate is aggregate most of which passes 4.75 mm IS sieve but not more than
10% passes through 150 micron IS sieve. These shall comply with the requirements of
grading zones I, II and III as given in Table III of IS : 383. Fine aggregate conforming to
grading zone IV shall not be normally used in reinforced concrete unless tests have been
made by the contractor to ascertain the suitability of the proposed mix proportions and
approved by the Engineer-in-charge. Fine aggregates shall consist of natural sand
resulting from natural disintegration of rock and which streams or glacial agencies, have
deposited, or crushed stone sand or crushed gravel sand.
Sampling and Testing
In case of doubt the Engineer-in-charge may require the contractor to carry out tests, at
the contractor’s expense, in accordance with :
IS : 516 - Method of Test for Strength of Concrete
IS : 2386 - Methods of Test for Aggregate for Concrete
Storage of Aggregate
The contractor shall at all times maintain at the site of work such quantities of aggregates
as considered by the Engineer-in-charge to be sufficient to ensure continuity of work.
Each type and grade of aggregate shall be stored separately on hard firm ground having
sufficient slope to provide adequate drainage of rain water. Any aggregate delivered to
site in a wet condition or becoming wet at site due to rain shall be kept in storage for at
least 24 hours to obtain adequate drainage, before it is used for concreting, or the water
content of mix must be suitably adjusted as directed by Engineer-in-charge.
7. Cement
General
Cement used in manufacturing of PSC pipes shall be as per relevant BIS for PSC pipe
manufacturing, whereas for other civil work Gr. 43/53 cement conform to relevant BIS
shall be used. However, the cement shall be procured by the contractor from the vendor,
which has been approved by the Engineer.

in-charge when called for.
7.2 Storage
The steel reinforcement and structural steel shall be stored in steel yard in such a way as
to prevent deterioration and corrosion, preferably at least 150 mm above ground by
supporting on wooden or concrete sleepers.
7.3 Proportioning of Concrete
The determination of the water cement ratio, and proportions of aggregates to obtain the
required strength shall be made from preliminary tests by designing the concrete mix.
Controlled concrete shall be used on all concrete work complying with all the
requirements of IS : 456, or latest amendments. Cube tests shall be carried out by the
contractor on the trial mixes before the actual concreting operation starts. Based on the
strength of the concrete mix sanction for its use has to be obtained from Engineer-in-
charge. If during the execution of the works it is found necessary to revise the mix
because of the cube tests showing lower strengths than the required one due to
inconsistency of quality of material or otherwise, the Engineer-in-charge shall ask for
fresh trial mixes to be made by the contractor. No claim to alter the rates of concrete work
shall be entertained due to such change in mix variation, as it is the contractor’s
responsibility to produce the concrete of the required grade. Great care shall be exercised
when mixing the actual works concrete using the proportions of the selected trial mix.
The final concrete mix shall have the same proportions of cement, fine and coarse
aggregates and water as that of the approved selected mix. Where the weight of cement is
determined be accepting the manufacturer’s weight per bag, a reasonable number of bags
should be weighed separately to check the net weight. Proper control of mixing water is
deemed to be of paramount importance. If mixes with automatic addition of water are
used, water should be either measured by volume in calibrated buckets, tins or weighed.
All measuring equipment shall be maintained in a clean serviceable condition and their
accuracy periodically checked and certified and the Engineer-in-charge’s approval
obtained. The Engineer-in-charge may require the contractor to carry out moisture content
tests in both fine and coarse aggregates. The amount of the added water shall then be
adjusted to compensate for any observed variation in the moisture contents. For the
determination of moisture content IS : 2386 shall be referred to. No substitution in
material, used on the work or alteration in the established proportions shall be made
without additional tests to show that the quality and strength of concrete are satisfactory.
No alternations shall be permitted without the prior sanction of the Engineer-incharge.
7.4 Mixing of concrete
The mixing of concrete shall be strictly carried out in an approved hopper type of
90 |
mechanical concrete mixer. The mixing equipment shall be capable of combining the
aggregates, cement and water within the specified time into a thoroughly mixed and
uniform mass, and of discharging the mixture without segregation. The entire batch shall
be discharged before recharging. Mixing periods shall be measured from the time when
all of the solid materials are in the mixing drum, provided that all of the mixing water
shall be introduced before one fourth of the mixing time has elapsed. The mixing time in
no case shall be less than two minutes. The mixer speed shall not be less than 14 or more
than 20 revolutions per minute. Mixing shall be continued until there is a uniform
distribution of the materials and the mass is uniform in colour and consistency. Hand
mixing of concrete shall not be permitted at all.
7.5 Grades of Concrete
The different grades of concrete specified shall conform to the strengths as required by IS
:456 or its latest amendments. Standard deviation shall be calculated as stated in IS : 456.
The acceptable criteria for concrete shall be as stated in IS : 456. The assumed standard
deviation as given in table 6 of IS: 456. has to be followed and are given here under.
Grade of Concrete Assumed Standard Deviation N /mm2
M 10 2.3
M 15 3.5
M 20 4.6
M 25 5.3
In order to get quick ideas of quality of concrete the optional tests are conducted as
stipulated in 14.1.1 of IS : 456.
7.6 Controlled Concrete
Controlled concrete shall be used on all concreting works except where specified
otherwise. The mix proportions for all grades of concrete shall be designed to obtain
strengths corresponding to the values specified in table 1 below for respective grades of
concrete.
Table 1 Grade Specified characteristic compressive Strength at 28 days (N/mm2)
M 20 20
M 25 25
M 30 30
The maximum water cement ratio for all controlled concrete works shall be as specified in
IS: 456. Preliminary tests as specified in the IS code and required by the Engineer-in-
charge shall be carried out sufficiently ahead of the actual commencement of the work
with different grades of concrete made from representative samples of aggregates and
cement expected to be used on the job to ascertain the ratios by weight of cement, of total
quantity of fine and coarse aggregates and the water cement ratio required to produce a
concrete of specified strength and desired workability. The minimum cement content for
each grade of concrete shall be as per IS : 456 (Latest Revision). If the requirement of
cement is found to be more than that specified below then such excess quantities of
cement shall be used and for which no extra payment shall be made. At least 4 (four) trial
91 |
batches are to be made and 7 test cubes taken for each batch noting the slump on each
mix. These cubes shall then be properly cured and two cubes for each mix shall be tested
in a testing laboratory approved by the Engineer-in-charge at 7 days and others at 28 days
for obtaining the ultimate compressive strength. The test reports shall be submitted to the
Engineer-in-charge. The cost of mix design and testing shall be borne by the contractor.
On the basis of preliminary test reports for trial mix, a proportion of mix by weight and
water cement ratio will be approved by the Engineer-in-charge, which will be expected to
give the required strength, consistency and workability and the proportions so decided for
different grades of concrete shall be adhered to, during all concreting operations. If
however at any time the Engineer-in-charge feels that the quality of material, being used
has been changed from used for preliminary mix design, the contractor shall have to run
similar trial mixes to ascertain the mix proportions and consistency. The mix once
approved must not be varied without prior approval of the Engineer-in-charge. However,
should the contractor anticipate any change in the quality of future supply of materials
than that used for preliminary mix design, he shall inform the same to the Engineer-in-
charge and bring fresh samples sufficiently ahead to carry out fresh trial mixes. The
Engineer-in-charge shall have access to all places and laboratory where design mix is
prepared. Design mix will indicate by means of graphs and curves etc. the extent of
variation in the grading of aggregates which can be allowed. In designing the mix
proportions of concrete, the quantity of both cement and aggregate shall be determined by
weight. All measuring equipment shall be maintained in clean and serviceable condition
and their accuracy periodically checked. To keep the water cement ratio to the designed
value, allowance shall be made for the moisture contents in both fine and coarse
aggregates and determination of the same shall be made as frequently as directed by the
Engineer-in-charge. The determination of moisture contents shall be according to IS :
2386 (Part III).
7.7 Strength Requirements
Where ordinary Portland cement conforming to IS : 269 is used the compressive strength
requirements for various grades of concrete shall be as shown in Table – 3. Where rapid
hardening Portland cement is used the 28 days compressive strength requirements
specified in table – 3 shall be met in 7 days. The strength requirement specified in Table-3
shall apply to both controlled concrete and ordinary concrete.

92 |
Other requirements of concrete strength as may be desired by the Engineer-in-charge shall
be in accordance with Indian Standard IS: 456 (latest revision). The acceptance of
strength of concrete shall be as per clause 5.4: Sample size and Acceptance criteria: of IS
: 456 (latest revision) subject to stipulations and / or modifications state elsewhere in this
specification, if any. Concrete work found unsuitable for acceptance shall have to be
dismantled and replace to the satisfaction of the Engineer-in-charge by the contractor free
of cost to the owner. No payment for the dismantled concrete, the relevant formwork and
reinforcement, embedded fixtures, etc. wasted in the dismantled portion shall be made. In
the course of dismantling if any damage is done to the embedded items or adjacent
structures, the same shall also be made good free of charge by the contractor to the
satisfaction of the Engineer-in-charge. If the water quantity has to be increased in special
cases, cement also is increased proportionately to keep the ratio of water to cement same
as adopted in trial mix design for each grade of concrete. No extra payment for the
additional cement will be made.
7.8 Workability
The workability of concrete shall be checked at frequent intervals by slump test. Where
facilities exist and if required by the Engineer-in-charge, alternatively the Compacting
Factor. Test in accordance with IS : 1199 shall be carried out. The degree of workability
necessary to allow the concrete to be well consolidated and to be worked into the corners
of formwork and round the reinforcement to give the required surface finish shall depend
on the type and nature of the structure and shall be based on experience and tests. The
limits of consistency for structures are as specified in Table 4 below.
Table 4 Limits Of Consistency Placing Conditions Degree of Workability Values of
Workability 1 2 3
Concreting of shallow section with vibrations Very low 20-10 second veebee Time or
0.75-0.80 compacting factor Concreting of lightly reinforced sections with vibration Low
10-5 seconds veebee Time or 0.80-0.85 Compacting factor Concreting of lightly
reinforced sections without vibration or heavily reinforced section with vibration Medium
5-2 seconds veebee Time or 0.85-0.92 Compacting factor Or 25-75 mm slump for 20mm
aggregate Concreting of heavily reinforced sections without vibration High Above 0.92
Compacting factor or 75-125mm slump for 20mm aggregate
7.9 Workmanship
All workmanship shall be according to the latest relevant standards. Before starting a pour
the contractor shall obtain the approval of the Engineer-in-charge. He shall obtain
complete instructions about the material and proportion to be used, slump, workability,
quantity of water per unit of cement number of test cubes to be taken, finishing to be
done, any admixture to be added etc.
7.10 Transportation and Pouring
The concrete mixer shall be as close to the place of concreting as possible but not as also
as to produce vibration and disturbance to the shuttering and reinforcements. It shall be
located at such a position that time lapse for transportation of unloaded concrete mix from
93 |
the mixer to the place of deposition of concrete is minimum. When there is a difference in
level between the unloading platform of concrete from the mixer to the actual place of
deposition of concrete the concrete shall be transported manually as by means of builders
hoist / crane or concrete pump to the actual level of concreting depending on requirement
as approved by Engineer-in-charge. Chutes for transporting the concrete shall not
normally be used. The Engineers express permission shall be taken for transporting by
means of chutes. If use of chutes are permitted then the concrete shall be again thoroughly
mixed by using spades manually before placing the concrete in the moulds / shuttering to
avoid segregation of concrete. It shall be ensured that initial setting of the concrete shall
not take place and the mix of the concrete is as good as that of freshly poured concrete
delivered directly into the moulds / shuttering. It shall be ensured that the drop of concrete
is not from an excessive height and that the vibration and deposition of concrete are
simultaneously carried out. Before placing concrete, all equipment for mixing and
transporting the concrete shall be cleaned and all debris shall be removed from the place
to be occupied by the concrete. All form and soil surfaces shall be finished to desired
levels and shall be thoroughly wetted immediately prior to placing of concrete. No
concrete shall be placed until the Engineer-in-charge has approved the excavation,
formwork and the reinforcement. The competent formwork maker and steel fixer shall be
in attendance during concreting operation. Concrete shall be handled from the place of
mixing to the place of final deposit as rapidly as practicable by methods which will
prevent the segregation or loss of any of the ingredients. If segregation does occur during
transport, the concrete shall be re-mixed before being place. The concrete shall be placed
and compacted before setting commences and shall not be subsequently disturbed. To
ensure bond and water tightness between old concrete surface and the concrete to be
placed the surface should be cleaned and roughened by‘initial green cut’ by wire brushing
or chipping. The initial green cutting may be done after six hours of placing concrete in
order to facilitate the work. Applying cement slurry and/or proper chemicals after
thoroughly watering the old concrete surface and removing all loose particles should be
done for bonding of old and new concrete. The old concrete walls / members shall be
given a shear key of 50 x 65mm deep. This key shall also be thoroughly cleaned with wire
brush in green stage before next lift pouring to avoid percolation of works.
7.11 Placing of concrete in slabs and beams
Concrete in slabs shall be placed in one continuous operation for each span unless
otherwise directed. Longitudinal construction joints if required by reason of the width to
be placed shall be located as shown on the drawings or as directed by the Engineer.
Concrete in the stem and slab to T-beam and for deflector beams and tie beams shall be
placed in one continuous operation and shall be deposited uniformly for the full length of
the beam and brought up evenly in horizontal layers. Where the size of the member is
such that it cannot be made in one pour, transverse vertical construction joints shall
preferably be located within the area of contra flexure. For continuous spans, where
required by design considerations the Engineer shall approve the concrete placing
94 |
sequence.
7.12 Placing of concrete in culverts and trenches
In general, the base slab or footings of the culverts shall be placed and allowed to set
before the remainder of the culvert is constructed. In this case suitable provision shall be
made for bonding the side walls to the culvert base, preferably by means of raised
longitudinal keys so constructed as to prevent as far as possible, the percolation of water
through the construction joint. Before concrete is placed in the side wall, the culvert
footing shall be thoroughly cleaned of all the shavings, sticks, sawdust or other
extraneous material and the surface carefully chipped and roughened in accordance with
the method of bonding construction joints. In the construction of culverts / trenches less
than 1.2m in height the concrete in the wall shall be placed and allowed to set before the
top slab is placed. In this case appropriate keys shall be left in the side walls for anchoring
the cover slab.
7.13 Depositing concrete under water
Concrete shall not be deposited in water, except with the approval of the Engineer and
under his supervision. Concrete deposited in water shall be of grade 20 with 10 percent
excess cement. To prevent the segregation it shall be carefully placed in a compact mass,
in its final position by means of a tremie or other approved method and shall not be
disturbed after being deposited. Concrete shall be placed in the horizontal layers not
more than 300mm thick. When less than a complete layer is placed in one operation it
shall be terminated in a vertical bulkhead. Each layer shall be placed and compacted
before the initial set of the proceeding layer takes place so that no cold joint is formed.
Unless otherwise approved, concrete shall be placed in single operation to the full
thickness of slabs, beams and similar members and shall be placed in horizontal layers not
exceeding 1 m deep in walls, columns and similar members. Concrete shall be placed
continuously until completion of the part of the work between construction joints or as
directed by Engineer-in-charge.
7.14 Concreting floors
Concreting in floors shall be done in a chess board pattern, allowing sufficient time to
elapse before the adjacent band is casted. The panel size is restricted to 75m in reinforced
concrete slab. Concreting shall not be started unless the electrical conduits or any other
piping wherever required is laid by the concerned agency. The civil contractor shall afford
all the facilities and maintain co-ordination of work with other agencies engaged in
electrical and such other works as directed by the Engineer-in-charge. Before concreting,
the contractor shall provide, fabricate and lay in proper position all inserts, anchor bolts,
pipes etc. (which are required to be embedded in concrete members) as per relevant
drawings and direction of Engineer-in-charge. Where concrete is placed on soil it shall be
placed only on firm undisturbed ground. Any concrete that is placed on a well-compacted
fill shall have the prior approval of the Engineer-in-charge. Concrete shall not be placed
in standing water on sub grade or in foundation excavations.
7.15 Compaction
95 |
Concrete during and immediately after depositing shall be thoroughly compacted. The
compaction shall be done by mechanical vibration subject to the following provision:
(a) The vibration shall be internal unless special authorization of other methods is given by
the Engineer or as provided herein.
(b) The Engineer shall approve the type and design of vibrators. They shall be capable
of transmitting vibration to the concrete at frequencies of not less than 4,500 impulses per
minute.
(c) The intensity of vibration shall be such as to visibly affect a mass of concrete of 25mm
slump over a radius of at least 0.5m.
(d) The contractor shall provide a sufficient number of vibrators to properly compact each
batch immediately after it is placed in the forms.
(e) Vibrators shall be manipulated so as to thoroughly work the concrete around the
reinforcement and embedded fixtures, and into the corners and angles of the forms. Vibrations
shall be applied at the point of deposit and in the area of freshly deposited concrete. The
vibrators shall be inserted into and withdraw on out of the concrete slowly. The vibration
shall be of sufficient duration and intensity to thoroughly compact the concrete but shall
not be continued so as to cause segregation. Vibration shall not be continued at any point
to the extent that localized areas of grout are formed. Application of vibrators shall be at
points uniformly spaced and not further apart than twice the radius over which the
vibrations is visibly effective.
(f) Vibration shall not be applied directly or through the reinforcement to sections or
layers of concrete which have hardened to the degree that the concrete ceases to be plastic
under vibration. It shall not be used to make concrete flow in forms over distances so
great as to cause segregation and vibrators shall not be used to transport concrete in the
forms.
(g) Vibration shall be supplemented by such rodding / spading as is necessary to ensure
smooth surfaces and dense concrete along form surfaces and in corners and location
impossible to reach with the vibrators. The whole process starting from the mixing of
concrete to the placing and compacting shall not take more than 20 minutes and the
process shall be completed before the initial setting takes place.
7.16 Curing
Curing shall be accomplished in accordance with IS : 456 by keeping the concrete
covered with a layer of sacking canvas, hessien or similar absorbent materials and kept
constantly wet for at least seven days from the date of placing of concrete unless
otherwise specified. The approval of the Engineer-in-charge shall be obtained for the
method of curing the contractor proposes to use on the work. In very hot weather
precaution shall be taken to see that temperature of wet concrete does into exceed 380 C
while placing. Heavy loads shall not be placed on or moved across over the floor slabs
until curing is complete. Care shall be taken to prevent floor surfaces from being marred
during curing period. Concrete placed in trenches or excavations shall be protected from
falling earth during and after placing.
7.17 Consistency
96 |
The consistency of concrete shall be frequently checked by means of a slump test
performed as per the relevant Indian Standard by the Engineer. The maximum and
minimum slump for each class of concrete shall be as directed by the Engineer, and any
concrete as represented by the slump test which fails to comply with these directions shall
be removed from the site and disposed off at the contractors cost.
7.18 Concrete finish tolerances
The following tolerances shall be permitted in the finished concrete work.
a. In the cross section dimensions of columns and beams (including T-beams) not
more than 5 mm.
b. In dimensions other than cross-sectional dimensions of columns and beams –
not more than 9 mm.
c.In any surface the irregularity shall not exceed 9 mm measured from 3 m long straight
edge.
d. No member shall be out of line by more than 6mm.
e. No column or wall shall be out of plump by more than 6 mm or if battered out of batter
by more than 6mm.

are not damaged while handling and during transportation. Light pipes and pipes of smaller diameter
shall be handled manually. Heavy pipes shall be loaded and unloaded using lifting tackles like chain
pulley blocks and shear legs. The pipes shall be protected against impact, shocks etc. Pipes shall not be
allowed to fall freely on to the ground and hard surfaces so as to cause cracks in pipes. Transportation
of pipes and stacking by the side of the trenches shall also be done in such a way that it causes
minimum inconveniences to the traffic. Lowering of the pipes into the trenches shall be done equally
carefully so that the pipes are not damaged and also the trenches and bedding for pipes are not disturbed
and damaged. Smaller and lighter pipes can be lowered using rope slings and shall not be dropped onto
the trench bottom.
5. Stacking of Pipes
The pipes shall be laid out along the side of the trenches, each pipe in its position for laying with an
extra pipe after every 20 nos. to allow for cutting. When the trench crosses a road or place where such
distribution is inadmissible, the pipes shall be stacked in piles at each end in sufficient numbers to fill in
the length.
6. Transfer of levels to trench bottom

Permanent benchmarks have been established at convenient and frequent interval all along the pipe
alignment for carrying the levels to the place of laying of the pipes with the help of Survey of India
benchmarks. The contractor may get the same checked if he so wishes as he will be solely responsible
for the accuracy of levels. Using boning rods and sight rails shall transfer the levels. The lowering of
pipes shall not be commenced until the Engineer has checked levels and permits the lowering of pipes.
Heavy pipes shall be lowered into the trenches by means of shear lags, chain pully blocks and tackle.
During the operation any pipe that is allowed to fall into the trench shall be condemned and removed
from the site immediately. Care shall be taken while lowering the pipe into the trench. The Engineer-in-
charge for damage examines each pipe which is laid in the trench. Cracked, broken in damaged pipes
shall not be allowed to be used in the works. For any damage done due to the negligence of the
contractor, the contractor will have to replace the pipe free of cost otherwise the department will collect
twice the cost of the pipe from the contractor.
7 Cleaning of pipes
The pipes shall be checked for absence of cracks and damaged parts of pipe ends. The pipes shall also
102 |
be cleaned to remove all dirt and soil and other foreign materials before lowering into the trenches.
After jointing it shall be ensured that the extra jointing materials are removed. It shall also be ensured
that no foreign material enters the pipes after they are laid by covering the pipe ends suitably.
8. The specified jointing materials shall be used and methods of jointing the pipes of different materials
viz. Stoneware, concrete, cast iron, steel, plastic pipes etc. shall be followed as indicated in the bill of
quantities, drawings, directions of the Engineer. For flanged joints necessary gaskets / packing material,
bolts and nuts shall be provided without any extra cost. The gaskets / packing materials shall be of full
diameter and have approved quality.
9. Normally the pipes are laid from downstream towards, upstream, the spigot end lacing upwards. The
spigot end shall be pushed home to the full depth of the socket.
10. The pipes shall be prevented from floating in case pipe trenches being flooded by properly
loading the pipes with back filling material. However the back filling shall not be done above the joints
till the pipes are tested and the Engineer permits the back filling.
11. The bedding of the pipes where specified shall be as detailed in the bill of quantities, drawings,
direction of the Engineer. The locations of the bedding the thickness of the bedding the width of the
bedding, material specifications and proportion of mix shall all be as indicated in the bill of quantities /
drawings, direction of the Engineer.
12. The manholes on the gravity sewers shall be at locations as shown in the drawings. Normally they are
located at the junctions of sewers, where the diameters of pipes, direction of pipes, grades of pipes
change and also on straight lengths at specified intervals to facilitate cleaning operations. The sizes of
the machines depend upon the diameters of pipes, depths of pipes, number of junction etc. and are
given in the drawings. They shall be located as directed by the Engineer. The material specifications
viz. brick masonry or concrete the proportion of the concrete, mortar for masonry and plastering shall
be as indicated in the typical drawings of manholes. The dimensions and thicknesses of masonry
concrete plaster etc. shall be as specified in the typical drawings for manhole chambers as well as

specifications shall be as specified in the drawings / bill of quantities.
15. Valve Chambers
Chambers / masonry pits to protect the valves or other special fittings on the pipelines shall be
constructed as shown in the drawing. The dimensions and materials specifications cover shall be as
indicated in the drawing / bill or quantities.
16. Back filling
Back filling of the trenches shall not be commenced till the pipes are tested for hydraulic pressure and
till the Engineer gives approval for filling of the trenches. Back filling of the trenches shall be done
with approved back fill material free from boulders sharp objects, rubbish. The filling shall be carried
out in layers not more than 150mm thick. The filled up material shall be well watered and consolidated,
taking proper care to see that the pipes are not disturbed.
17. Obstruction to traffic
The contractor shall be deemed to have knowledge about the condition of roads and areas where he has
to lay the pipe. He shall make his own studies about the widths of roads particularly narrow, winding
and steeply sloping roads to assess the difficulties he may have to face during excavation, stacking of
pipes and materials, tools and plant during execution. He shall make all the necessary arrangements for
the diversion of traffic with least inconvenience to the public. He shall erect warning signals day and
night and provide necessary barricades to avoid accident. Any damages caused to the public / private
property shall be made good at his own cost. He shall also be responsible to pay an compensation to
any person subjected to injuries or death due to his negligence in providing necessary safety
precautions.
18. Hydraulic testing of pipes
Each section of the pipe shall be tested for water tightness of the pipeline. To prevent disturbance of the
alignment and grade after the pipes have been laid it is desirable to back fill the pipe upto the top,
keeping atleast 90cms of pipe open at the joints. However this is not feasible in case of pipes of short
104 |
lengths such as stoneware and concrete pipes. Where concrete encasement of concrete cradles have
been provided partial covering of the pipes is not necessary. In case of concrete and stoneware pipes
with cement mortar joints pipes shall be filled with water three days after the joints have been made.
The pipes shall be kept filled with water for at least about a week before commencement of the
application of the pressure to allow for the absorption of the water by the pipe walls. The pipes are
tested by plugging upper end of the pipe with a provision for an air outlet pipe with a stopcock. The
water is filled through a funnel connected at the lower end provided with a plug. After the air has been
expelled through air outlet the stopcock is closed and the water level in the funnel is raised to two
meters above the invert level of the upper end. Water level in the funnel is noted after 30 minutes and
the quantity of water required to restore the original water level in the funnel is determined. The
pipeline under pressure is then inspected while the funnel is still in position. There shall not be any
leaks in the pipe line or the joints leakage in 30 min. determined by measuring the replenished water in
the funnel shall not exceed 15min. milliliters in the smaller diameter and 60 milliliters in larger
diameter per cm. Diameter of pipe for 100mtr length of pipe. Any sewer or part thereof that does not
meet the above requirements shall be emptied and repaired, or re-laid as required and tested again. For
concrete RCC pipes of more than 600 mm diameter the permissible quantity of water replenished can
be increased by 10% for each additional 100mm of pipe.
Air Testing
Air testing can be permitted particularly in large diameter pipes when the required quantity of the water
is not available for testing. It is done by subjecting the stretch of pipe to an air pressure of 100mm of
water by means of a hand pump. If the pressure is maintained at 75mm the joints shall be assumed to be
watertight. In case the drop is more than 25mm the leaking joints shall be traced and suitably treated to
ensure water tightness. The exact point of leakage can be detected by applying soap solution to all the
joints on the pipeline and looking for air bubbles.
19. All the arrangements for the tests required for supply of water, pipe specials, fittings for blanking of the
pipe ends, instruments, labour, tools and plant etc. shall be arranged by the contractor himself at his
own cost. The rate quoted by the contractor for laying and jointing of the pipes shall be deemed to be
inclusive of the cost of testing of pipes.
20. The contractor shall be bound to follow the instructions of the Engineer regarding the test procedure,
test pressure, lengths of sections for testing etc. the tests shall be carried out only in the presence of the
Engineer.
21. As soon as the streach of pipe is laid and tested. A double disc or solid or closed cylinder, 75mm less in
dimension than the internal diameter of the pipe shall be run through the section to ensure that it is free
from any obstruction.
