from rust, mortar, loose mill scale, grease, oil or paints. The materials shall be tested in
accordance with relevant IS specifications and necessary test certificates shall be furnished.

1.3.1 Protection of reinforcement

Uncoated reinforcing steel shall be protected from rusting or chloride contaminations.

Reinforcement shall be free from rust, mortar, loose mill scale, grease, oil or paints. This may
be ensured by thoroughly cleaning all reinforcements to remove rust using sand blasting,
mechanical brushing etc. Reinforcements shall be stored on blocks, or platforms and above
the ground in a clean and dry condition and suitably marked to facilitate inspection and
identification.
 128
1.3.2 Bending of reinforcement:

Bar bending shall be cold bent to the specified shape and dimensions to obtain the correct
radii of bends and shape. No heating of bars is permitted under any circumstances for
straightening or bending. Bar bending schedule shall be prepared and got approved before
start of work.

13.3 Placing of Reinforcement

The reinforcement bars shall be placed accurately in position as shown in the drawings. The
bars, crossing on another shall be tied together at every intersection with annealed binding
wire, conforming to IS; 280 to make the Skelton of reinforcement rigid such that
reinforcement does not get displaced during placing of concrete. The diameter of binding
wire shall not be less than 1mm. Necessary stays, blocks, metal chairs, spacers, metal
hangers, supporting wires etc. shall be provided to fix the reinforcement firmly in the
position. Use of pebbles, broken stone, metal pipe or wooden blocks etc. for positioning of
reinforcement shall not be permitted. Placing and fixing of reinforcement shall be inspected
and approved by the engineer before concrete is deposited.

1.4 Concrete:

The grade of concrete shall be specified in approved drawings. All concrete shall be as per
design mix only and shall be manufactured by weigh batching only. The source of
aggregate, adequate to provide required quantities should be located and advised to
Engineer-in-Charge. Aggregate from this source only shall be used for design of mix.

1.4.1 Mix design:

The concrete mix shall be designed by any one of the approved methods given in IS: 10262
and IS: 456-2000. The mix design shall be approved by Engineer-in-charge before starting
the work. The mixed proportions shall be designed to required workability of the fresh
concrete suitable for conditions of placement so that after compaction, it envelops all
reinforcement and completely fills the formwork. Concrete shall have required strength,
durability and surface finish. Test results of trial cubes as per design mix shall be made and
got tested in an established laboratory. The results of this test should be produced at the
time of submission of mix design.

Maximum slump of concrete and maximum water cement ratio shall be as per design mix.
Use of any admixture such as super-plasticizers for concrete shall be made with approval
of the engineer.

1.4.2 Placing, Compacting and curing:

Placing: The concrete shall be placed and compacted before setting takes place and shall
not be subsequently disturbed. Method of placing should be such so as to avoid
displacement of reinforcement or movement of formwork. Except where otherwise agreed
to by the Engineer, concrete shall be deposited in horizontal layers to a compacted depth of
not more than 450 mm when internal vibrators are used and not exceeding 300mm in all
other cases.
Compacting: 40/60 mm needle vibrator shall be used for compaction. Over/under vibration
shall be avoided. Formwork shall be designed for vibration. Additional vibrators in
serviceable condition shall be kept at site so that it can be used in the event of break down.
.
 129
Curing: Exposed surfaces of concrete shall be kept continuously in a damp or wet condition
by covering with a layer of sacking, canvas, Hessian or similar materials and kept
constantly wet for at least 7 days from the date of placing of concrete.

1.4.3 Supervision:

Constant and strict supervision of all items of the RCC concrete will be done including
proportioning and mixing of the concrete and checking of the reinforcement.

1.4.4 Sampling, testing and acceptance of concrete

Sampling: Samples from fresh concrete shall be taken from a batch of concrete at point of
delivery into constructions as per IS: 1199. A random sampling procedure to ensure that
each of the concrete batches forming the lot under acceptance inspection has equal chances
of being chosen for taking cubes shall be adopted. The test specimens shall be made from
each sample for testing at 28 days. Additional cubes may be required to determine the
strength at 3 days and 7 days. The minimum frequency of sampling of concrete of each
grade shall be in accordance to IS 456 2000
Testing : 150mm size cubes shall be made cured and tested at the age of 28 days for
compressive strength in accordance with IS 516.The test strength of the sample shall be
average of the strength of 03 cubes. The individual variation should not be more than ± 15
percent of the average.
Acceptance criteria: The standard of acceptance criteria for concrete shall be as per IS
456-2000.
