7.STORAGE OF MATERIAL:
7.1 CEMENT:
 Cement shall be stored in weather-tight buildings bins or silos which exclude moisture and
contaminants.
 The bag shall be stacked at least 10-20 cm. clear above the floor and 1ft distance from
surrounding wall.
 Cement bags shall be placed close together in the stack to reduce circulation of air as much as
possible. Cement bags should not be stacked more than 10 bags high.
 When removing cement bags for use apply “first in, first out” rule that is take the oldest cement
out first.

7.2 COARSE & FINE AGGREGATE:

Coarse & Fine aggregates to be stack in such a manner that it should be free from contamination &
intermixing.

7.3 CONSTRUCTION WATER

Water Storage Tank should be covered & no contamination must take place.

7.4 CHEMICAL /MINERAL ADMIXTURE:

Chemical/Mineral Admixture is to be store in a dry place & away from direct sunlight and as per
manufacturer product data sheet.

8.0 METHODOLOGY:

8.1 BEFORE COMMENCEMENT:

1. For Design Mix concrete, the mix shall be designed to provide the grade of concrete having the
required strength, workability & durability requirements given in IS:456 for each grade of
concrete taking into account the type of cement, minimum cement content and maximum W/C
ratio confirming to exposure conditions.
2. Concrete Mix design shall be established as per IS 10262.

3. Before any concrete is placed the entire placing program consisting of Equipment layout
proposed procedure and methods shall be submitted to the Client for approval.
4. Prior notice shall be given to Client before start of concreting.

8.2 CONCRETING PROCEDURE:

1. Concrete Mix Design for different structure should be as per notes in the specific approved
drawing.
2. All raw materials to be measured by weight in weigh batching machines of an approved type.
Material shall be weighed within tolerance inclusive of scale and operating errors.
3. Concrete shall be mixed in mechanical mixers of an approved type.
4. The water to be added in concrete shall be adjusted based on moisture contents in fine and
coarse aggregates.
5. Concrete receiving surface shall be treated with cement slurry or kept wet prior to starting of
concreting.
6. Concreting is to be done by using chute (height not more than 1.5 meters) or by concrete
pump. Incase chute is not possible then unload the concrete on MS tray / concrete platform.
7. Pour the concrete at desirable speed.
8. The compaction of concrete will be done by immersion type needle vibrator of 40/60mm
diameter, which shall be inserted into concrete in vertical position not more than 450mm apart.
Vibration will be applied systematically to cover all areas immediately after placing concrete.
Required numbers of extra needles and vibrators shall be kept on standby.
9. Concrete shall be consumed within its Initial Setting time & re-dosing of admixture may be
done if required up to the maximum dosage of admixture as specified by manufacturer.
10. Continuous concreting shall be done to the full thickness of foundation rafts, slabs, beams &
similar members. For placing on slope, concreting will be started at the bottom and moved
upwards.
11. Take care of shuttering corners and sides while vibrating.
12. Concrete shall be placed in successive, horizontal of uniform thickness ranging. Care to be
taken that no loss of slurry takes place from joints.
13. If breakdown of machinery or concreting equipment occurs during concreting, concrete shall
be ordered from approved outside agency.
14. If concreting is done during night, proper lighting arrangement shall be done and night work
permit shall be maintained.
15. Final surface shall be racked to final position and level with required finish.
16. Minimum period before striking formwork shall be as per IS 456/2000 and as per
specifications.
17. Date of casting on shall be marked on structure.
18. Start the curing of concrete as soon as it becomes tacky dry to avoid shrinkage cracks.
19. Qty of water supplied shall be controlled so as to prevent the erosion of freshly placed
concrete.
20. The workability of concrete shall be checked by site supervisor or lab technician.
21. The prepared surface shall be inspected and certified in check list.

22. All blemishes and defect if any shall be rectified immediately after the removal of formwork.
8.3 CONSTRUCTION JOINT:
1. If stopping of concrete becomes unavoidable anywhere the construction joint shall be made.
2. Bonding keys shall be done in construction joints.
3. In a column, joint shall be formed 75mm below the lowest soffit of the beams connected to it.
4. Concrete in beam shall be placed throughout without a joint but, if the provision of joint is
unavoidable the joint shall be vertical.
5. A joint in a slab shall be vertical and parallel to the principal reinforcement.
6. Where it is unavoidable, the joint at right angles to the principal reinforcement shall be vertical
and at the middle of the span.
7. Vertical construction joints shall be cleaned.
8. In placing concrete against formed construction joints the surface shall be coated thoroughly
with the cement slurry immediately before placing concrete.

8.4 HOT WEATHER CONCRETING:

Concreting in extreme hot weather shall be avoided. Special care shall be exercise & measure
undertaken when temperature on site exceeds 40 C. Such measures shall include:
a) Providing a shade for the mixing machine.
b) Depositing the concrete from the machine as quickly as possible.
c) Adjusting water proportions throughout the day to account for water
d) Covering the deposited concrete by a membrane as soon after the placing as possible without
damaging the fresh concrete.
e) Water sprinkling on coarse aggregate
Wet gunny bags shall be laid immediately after two hours of concreting on the top surfaces of slab
and shall be kept wet for curing period.

9.0 QUALITY ASSURANCE:
