It should be noted that such highaggregate/cement ratios will be required for concretes of very low slump and high watercement ratios which may be required to be used in mass concrete work only.The actual cement aggregate ratios are to be worked out from the specific gravities ofcoarse aggregates and sand being used, and from trial mixes.14.15 Strength requirementsThe mix proportions for all grades of concrete shall be designed to produce the grade ofconcrete having the required workability and a characteristic strength not less than thevalue given below:Page 382 of 449


Grade DesignationM 10M 15M 20Page 383 of 449Characteristic CompressiveStrength at 28 days10 N / sq. mm15 N / sq. mm20 N / sq. mmThe strength of concrete given above is the 28 days characteristic compressive strengthof 15 cm cube.The placing of concrete shall be a continuous operation with no interruption in excess of30 minutes between the placing of continuous portions of concrete. When fresh concreteis required to be placed on previously placed and hardened concrete, special care shouldbe taken to clean the surface of all foreign matter. For securing a good bond and watertight joint, the receiving surface should be made rough and a rich mortar placed on itunless it has been poured just before. The mortar layer should be about 15 mm thick withcement and sand proportion as that of the mix in use, and have the same water-cementratio as the concrete to be placed.After the concrete has been placed it shall be thoroughly compacted by approvedmechanical vibration to a maximum subsidence without segregation and thoroughlyworked around reinforcement or other embedded fixtures into the correct form and shape.Vibrators must be operated by experienced men and over vibration shall not be permitted.Care should be taken to ensure that the inserts, fixtures, reinforcement and formwork arenot displaced or disturbed during placing of concrete. No concrete shall be placed in openwhile it rains. If there is any sign of washing of cement and sand, the concrete shall beentirely removed immediately. Slabs, beams and similar structure shall be poured in oneoperation normally. In special circumstances with the approval of Engg In-charge(Divisional Engr.) these can be poured in horizontal layers not exceeding 50 cm. in depth.When poured in layers, it must be ensured that the under layer is not hardened. Bleedingof under layer if any shall be effectively removed.14.16 Compaction of ConcreteCompaction is necessary for production of good concrete. After the concrete has been


placed it shall be thoroughly compacted by approved mechanical vibrator to a maximumsubsidence without segregation and thoroughly worked around reinforcement or otherembedded fixtures into the correct form and shape. Vibrators must be operated byexperienced men. Care should be taken to ensure that the inserts, fixtures, reinforcementand formwork are not displaced or disturbed during the vibration of the concrete. TheContractors shall provide standby vibrators. Vibration is commonly used method ofcompaction of concrete, the use of mechanical vibrators complying with IS 2505, IS2506, IS 2514 and IS 4656 for compacting concrete is recommendedFor all practical purposes, the vibration can be considered to be sufficient when the airbubbles cease to appear and sufficient mortar appears to close the surface and facilitateeasy finishing operations. The period of vibration required for a mix depends upon theworkability of the mix.14.17 Curing of ConcreteIn order to achieve proper and complete strength of the concrete, the loss of water fromevaporation should be prevented. Eighty to eighty five per cent of the strength is attainedin the first 28 days and hence this 28-day strength is considered to be the criterion forthe design and is called characteristic strength. The concrete after setting for 24 hoursshall be cured by keeping the concrete wet continuously for a period of 10 days afterlaying.The curing increases compressive strength, improves durability, impermeability andabrasion resistance. Failure to carry out satisfactory curing can lead to cracking in theconcrete. This in turn can lead to salt attack of the reinforcement and consequentialfailure of the structure. If cracks occur in a structure which is severe enough to affect thestructure, the Contractor shall cut out and replace the defective concrete at his own cost.The Contractor‘s attention is, therefore, drawn to this particular aspect of proper andadequate curing14.18 Removal of formworkFormwork shall be kept in position fully supported, until the concrete has hardened andPage 384 of 449


gained sufficient strength to carry itself and any loads likely to be imposed upon it.Stripping must be effected in such a manner and at such a time that no shock or other injuryis caused to the concrete. The responsibility for safe removal rests with the Contractor butthe Engg In-charge (Divisional Engr.) may delay the time of striking if he deems itnecessary.Minimum periods, in the absence of agreement to the contrary, between completion ofconcreting and removal of forms are given below but due regard must be paid to the methodof curing and prevailing conditions during this period.Removal of forms is to be done as underi) Sides of foundations, columns, beams and wall 2daysii) Under side of slabs up to 4.5 m span7daysiii) Under side of slabs above to 4.5 m spanand underside of beams and arches up to 6m spaniv) Under side of beams and arches above 6m and up to 9m span14days21days14.19 FENCING14.19.1 GeneralFencing shall be designed for the most critical loading combination taking into accountwind forces, stability, tension on wires, minimum requirements as per this clause andrelevant IS recommendations.The un- climbable or security, or anti-intruder fencing shall consist of chain link mesh, allas soon on the drawings and as specified, supported on approved sections of structuralsteel.
