7. PROCEDURE
7.1. Pre-Requirements.
7.1.1. Formwork
The design and construction of the formwork shall be in accordance with IS.
Plywood forms, Lumber forms, Metal forms, Form oil, Form sealer, Form
accessories, Screed chairs and Chamfer stripes shall conform to the
requirements.
7.1.2. Concrete
Before starting the work for concreting activities, the correspondent
information from the Project’s engineering of the element or concrete
structure to be poured should be available. Concrete shall be taken from
approved batching plant or equivalent cast-in-situ method only. All
concrete mix design shall be approved by Client/Authority as per relevant
Standards & Specifications for Ready-Mixed/Cast in Situ Concrete Mix
Design.
7.2. Materials

bent, preferably by placing it in the forms, before the others are bent.
Do not bend or straighten steel in a manner that would weaken the material.
7.4.3. Storage and handling
Before reinforcement is placed, the surface must be free from
objectionable coatings or heavy corrosion.
Remove other objectionable coatings such as oil, grease, dried mud,
and weak dried mortar or concrete. Brush weak mortar from the bars
and remove it from the forms. If it is difficult to remove, it is probably
harmless and need not be removed.
7.4.4. Reinforcement installation
Reinforcement is embedded a minimum distance from the surface of
the concrete (clearance), to prevent buckling under certain conditions
of a compressive load, rusting when exposed to weather, or loss of
strength when exposed to fire.
If there is more than one mat of reinforcement, align bars vertically
above each other in both horizontal directions to minimize interference
with placing and consolidating concrete.
Provide preplanned openings in the upper mat for drop chutes to help
prevent scattering and segregation of the concrete.
Especially where reinforcement is congested, the nominal maximum
size of aggregate in the concrete mix must not exceed three-quarters
of the minimum clear spacing between bars so as to permit satisfactory
placement of concrete around the bars.
7.4.5. Concrete Cover and overlaps
Overlaps shall be 50D (D is dia of bar) unless otherwise noted.
Cover to the reinforcement shall be as under given
a. Slab 30mm
b. Beams 30mm
c. Column 40mm
d. Foundation 50mm
e. Container wall 45mm
f. Container Beam 45mm
g. Dome in center
7.4.6. Support of Reinforcement
All reinforcement must be firmly held in place before and during the
casting of concrete.
Use precast concrete or mortar blocks or PVC (notched at the bottom)
pipe as bar supports and spacers.
Use a sufficient quantity and strength of bar supports and spacers to
support both reinforcement and construction loads.
Do not use rocks, wood blocks, or other unapproved objects to support

the steel.
Use chairs on the ground that are sufficiently large enough to prevent
settling by indenting the soil..
7.5. Procedure of Embedded plate Installation
7.5.1. Prior to installation of the plate, re-bar & form should be correct
accordance with the requirement. The carpenter team will first establish the
sleeper’s pedestal form, alignment and elevations. The embedded plates
will be installed in the designated position on the form. The plates must be
fabricated at the shop/on site in accordance with IFC drawings.
7.5.2. Field checking procedure for embedded plate installation.
The following checking procedure for embedded plate will be
implemented during construction and will result in the successful
work.
Before Installation
Material inspection shall consist of drawing review, dimensional and
visual inspection.
any reason, will reprogram the date and hour of the notification in the same
format being in common agreement with the parts involved. This format will
be kept open by the quality control inspector being properly supported.
7.6.3. Pouring and Compaction of the Concrete
Block outs, inserts, sleeves, water stops and other embedded items
shall be properly identified, positioned and secured in the forms to
resist all forces while concrete is being placed and hardened.
Forms shall be substantial and sufficiently tight to maintain adequate
strength to contain the fluid concrete and to prevent leakage from the
concrete pouring.
Forms shall be built to resist the pressures to which they will be
subjected and to limit deflections to a practicable minimum within the
specified tolerance.
Forms shall be properly braced or tied together to maintain position
and shape.
