manner.

e. Slabs on grade shall have a base of rubble compacted and rolled to a dense condition.

7. PLACING

a. Concrete shall be placed within 30 minutes after discharge from the mixer but in no case more
than 60 minutes from the time water was added.

b. Indiscriminate addition of water to increase slump shall be prohibited. Concrete shall be spaded
and worked by hand and vibrated to assure close contact with all surfaces of forms and
reinforcements and leveled off at proper grade to receive finish. No concrete that has partially
hardened or been contaminated by foreign materials shall be deposited in the work, nor shall
re-tampered concrete be used.

c. All concrete shall be placed continuously, or in layers not over one-half meter deep, upon
clean, well thawed, damp surface free from water, and never upon soft mud nor dry porous

shall be placed within two hours after previous concrete has been placed.

e. Concrete shall not be permitted to drop freely over two meters in un exposed work nor over
one meter in exposed work to avoid segregation. Where greater drops are required, tremies or
other approved means shall be used. Tremie discharge shall be controlled so that concrete may
be compacted effectively into horizontal layers not over 30 cm thick.

f. When concrete is conveyed by chute, a continuous concrete flow shall be maintained.

Discharge chute end shall be provided with baffle plate to prevent segregation.
g. If chute discharge end height is over two meters, a spout shall be used and its lower end
maintained as near deposit surface as practicable.
h. When pouring is intermittent, a discharge chute shall be thoroughly cleaned before and after
each run. Waste material and flushing water shall be discharged outside forms.

i. Concreting for such vertical portions as columns and walls shall be made up to the bottom of
beams, placing of concrete in supported elements shall not be started until the concrete
previously placed in columns and walls is no longer plastic and has been in place at least two
hours.

j. No concrete shall be placed during rain, and any freshly placed concrete shall be protected
from rainfall.

k. The temperature of the concrete shall not be so high as to cause difficulty from loss of slump,
flash set, or cold joints and should not exceed 32°C, pre cautionary measures approved by the
PMT shall be put into effect. When the temperature of the steel is greater than 49°C, steel forms
and reinforcements shall be sprayed with water just prior to placing the concrete.

l. Before placing fresh concrete on or against concrete that has set, concrete shall be thoroughly
cleaned so as to expose the coarse aggregate. Forms shall be retightened and all surfaces
moistened.

8. CONSOLIDATION

a. All concrete shall be thoroughly consolidated by vibration, spading, rodding, forking or other
suitable means during placement, so that the concrete is thoroughly worked around the
reinforcement, around embedded items, and into corners of forms, eliminating all air or stone
pockets which may cause honey combing, pitting, or planes of weakness.

b. Internal vibrators shall have a minimum frequency of 8,000 vibrations per minute and sufficient
amplitude to consolidate concrete effectively. They shall be operated by competent workmen.

c. Use of vibrators to transport concrete within forms shall not be allowed. Vibrators shall be
inserted and withdrawn at points approximately 50cm apart.

d. At each insertion, the duration shall be sufficient to consolidate the concrete but not sufficient
to cause segregation, generally from 5 to 15 seconds.

e. A spare working vibrator shall be kept on the job site during all concrete placing operations.

f. Where the concrete is to have an as-cast finish, full surface of mortar shall be brought against
the form by the vibrating process, supplemented if necessary by spreading to work the coarse
aggregate back from the formed surface.

g. Concrete in slabs shall be thoroughly consolidated. Internal vibration shall be used in beams
and girders. Consolidation of slabs shall be obtained with vibrating screeds, roller pipe screeds,

7 days after placement.

Curing procedure shall conform to ACI 308 “Recommended Practice for Curing Concrete” and
ACI 305 “Hot condition at temperature above 10 C but not over 32 C.

The Contractor shall prepare a curing plan taking the weather conditions on site into account
and submit it to the PMT for his approval.

b. CURING MATERIAL

Waterproof paper: Non-staining reinforced waterproof curing paper, conforming to ASTM

C171, or approved equivalent.

sheeting shall be 0.1 mm minimum thickness, white opaque. In areas of high winds the
impervious sheeting shall not be used.

Burlap: Clothe made of jute or kenaf shall conform to AASHTO M182 or approved equivalent
and shall weight a minimum 0.29 kg/m2.

Liquid membrane forming compound: ASTM C309, Type 1 or approved equal. When non-pig
mental compound is used, it shall contain a fugitive dye.

c. PRESERVATION OF MOISTURE

For concrete surfaces not in contact with forms, one of the following procedures shall be
applied immediately after completion of placement and finishing:

• Ponding or continuous sprinkling

• Application of absorptive mats or fabric kept continuously wet
• Application of sand kept continuously wet
• Continuous application of steam (not exceeding 65 C) or mist pray
• Application of waterproof sheet materials, conforming to ASTM C171 or approved
equivalent
• Application of other moisture-retaining covering as approved
• Application of a curing compound conforming to ASTM C309 or approved equivalent

Moisture loss from surfaces placed against wooden forms or metal forms exposed to heating by
the sun shall be minimized by keeping the forms wet until they can be safely removed. After
form removal, the concrete shall be cured for at least 7 days by one of the methods above.

d. TEMPERATURE, WIND AND HUMIDITY

the concrete during and immediately following the curing period shall be kept as uniform
as possible and shall not exceed 3 C in any 1 hour or 28 C in any 24 hours’ period.

disturbances, such as load stresses, heavy shock, and excessive vibration. All finished concrete
surfaces shall be protected from damage by construction equipment, materials or methods, by

P a g e 18 | 111
