 INTRODUCTION

A Contract document specifying the quality of material to be used

and procedure and method of workmanship to be adopted in the
construction work is called as specifications.

Importance of specifications
a) Specification shows the method of doing wok and act as a guide
to the supervising staff.
b) The cost of unit quantity of work is known by its specifications
c) Work should be carried out according to the specifications
mentioned in contract, otherwise contractor will not get
payment. Hence contractor is only paid according to the
specifications.
d) Tender document without specifications is considered an
incomplete and invalid.
e) Any change in specifications changes the rate mentioned in the
tender paper.

Purpose of specifications
1. It helps to the contractor and pricing the tender.
2. Specifications fixes the responsibilities of owner and contractor
3. Specification is an important tool or document and plays the
important role for arbitration.
4. It helps to prepare rate analysis of various item.
5. Specifications are the witness document and hence useful in
court to settle the disputes…

MICRO PROJECT PRAPOSAL

TO PREAPARE A REPORT ON SPECIFICATIONS OF PCC

1. RATIONALE
Concrete has been used for many wonderful things throughout
history, for either architecture or for infrastructure work and more.
The term PCC stands for plain cement concrete, the mixture of
cement, fine aggregate and coarse aggregate are generally called plain
cement concrete, before starting any R.C. core masonry work directly
on the excavated soil, PCC is done to form levelled surface and to
avoid laying concrete on soil directly so as to avoid mixing/with soil
and also to prevent soil extracting water from PCC thereby weakening
it.

2. COURSE OUTCOME INTEGRATED

e. Prepare the specification for various items of construction

3 . LITERATURE REVIEW

Li. Et. Al. (2004)

The object of plain cement concrete alias PCC is to arrange a firm

impermeable bed to RCC in the foundation where the soil is soft and
flexible. It is mostly applied over brick flat soiling or devoid of brick flat
soiling, it is also known as cement concrete (CC) OR binding concrete.
When any reinforcement is not used inside the concrete, it is defined as the
plain cement concrete. It just a blend of concrete ingredients

6. OUTPUT OF THE MICROPROJECT

PLAIN CEMENT CONCRETE

Plain cement concrete is the mixture of cement, fine aggregate and

coarse aggregate without steel, PCC is an important component of a
building which is laid on the soil surface to avoid direct contact of
reinforcement of concrete with soil and water

MATERIALS USED IN PCC ARE:-

1. Coarse aggregate
a) Coarse aggregate shall be from hard broken stone of compact
besalt or granite or similar stone and shall be free from dust,
dirt, oil and other foreign matters
b) Size of stone shall be 20 mm and down and all sizes of stones
shall be retained in a 5 mm square mesh and well graded, shall
not gave voids more than 42%

2. Fine aggregate
a) Fine aggregate shall have coarse sand consisting of hard, sharp
and angular grains
b) These aggregates shall pass through sieve of 5mm square
mesh.
c) Sand shall be as per the standard specification
d) Sand shall be clean and free from dust, dirt, oil and other
organic matter
e) Sea sand shall not be used
f) Crushed stones sand can also be used if specified…
 3. Cement
a) Cement shall be fresh, not old, and as per the Indian standards
Specification and shall have required compressive strength and
Fineness.
b) Portland pozzolona cement is normally used for plain cement
Concrete, it should be confirm to the specifications and shall have the
Required tensile and compressive stress and fines.

4. Water
a) Water used shall be clean and reasonably free from injurious
quantities of deleterious materials such as oils, acids, alkalis, salts
and vegetable growth.
b) Generally, potable water shall be used having a pH value not less
than 6. The maximum permissible limits for solids shall be as per IS
456:2000 Clause 5.4, Page No 15.

Proportioning of Plain Cement Concrete

1. The proportioning is done based on the requirement or given

specification. Generally 1:2:4 or 1:3:6 mix is used.
2. The measurement of material can be done by weight batching or volume
batching.
3. In volume batching, coarse aggregate and sand shall be measured by
measuring box of 30cmx30cmx38cm of a suitable size equivalent to one
bag cement of 1/30 m3or 0.035 m3.
4. Sand shall be measured on the basis of its dry volume.
5. While measuring the aggregate, sacking, ramming or hammering shall
not be done.
 Mixing of Plain Cement Concrete

Mixing of PCC can be done either manually or by the means of machines

Hand Mixing
1. PCC is allowed to be done by hand-mixing only for small-scale works.
2. The base on which the concrete is mixed must be clean, watertight slab or a
steel platform.
3. For concrete of 1:2:4 / 1:4:8 proportions, one bag of cement , first two boxes
of mixed dry thoroughly making the material turning up and down by spade
or phawrah and then this homogenous dry mix shall be placed over a spread
stack of 4 boxes of coarse aggregate and the complete mix dry turn up and
down with phawrah or spade at least three times so as to obtain uniform
mix.
4. Then water shall be added to slowly and gradually and then turning the mix
up and down at least three times by spade till to obtain mix of the required
workability and water cement ratio

Machine Mixing

1.Cement, sand and coarse aggregate shall be taken into the machine mixer in
required proportion.
2. For concrete of proportion 1:2:4 consist of one bag of cement, two boxes of
sand and four boxes of coarse aggregate shall be taken into mixer.

3. The machine shall then be operated to mix material dry & then water shall
be added gradually with required quantity 25 to 30 liters of water per bag of
cement to obtain the desired water-cement ratio.

4. The mixing should have homogeneous mass or plastic mix of uniform

colour so as to obtain thorough mixing. 1 to 2 minutes rotation shall be given
to the drum mixer.

Mixed concrete shall be discharge on a masonry platform or on a flat iron

sheet.
 Form work

1. Form work and centering shall be used as per the standard

specifications

2. Internal surface of formwork shall be applied by oil so as to avoid

sticking of concrete during removal of the formwork.

3. The base of formwork shall be watered before laying the concrete

on it.

4. Forms at the bottom surface in case of beam and slab shall not be
removed before 14 days in general and sides of form shall be
removed after 3 days.

5. Form work shall be removed slowly and with care and not to
disturb and damage the concrete.

Slump test

1. Regular slump test shall be carried out so as to check the

workability of concrete mix and to control the addition of water.

2. For building work, a slump of 75 mm to 100 mm may be permitted

and for road work, 30 mm to 40 mm may be allowed.
 Laying of Plain Cement Concrete

1. Concrete shall be laid gently in layers not exceeding 150 mm and

compacted with rods & tamping with wooden tampers or with
mechanical vibrating machine until a dense concrete is obtained.

2. Immersion type vibrators or needle vibrators shall be used for thick

concrete or mass concrete. Surface vibrators or form vibrators shall
be used for thin concrete. There shall not be over vibration.

3. Concrete shall be laid continuously. If laying of concrete is

suspended for rest or on next day the end of concrete shall be slope
with an angle of 30° and its surface shall be made rough for proper
joining.

4. If the concreting work is resumed, the previous sloped portion shall

be made rough, clean, watered and a grout of neat cement shall be
applied and fresh concrete shall be laid in successive layer in such
way that the upper layer shall be laid before the lower layer is set.
