condition.
Hauling and placing of concrete:
Freshly mixed concrete from the central batching and mixing plant shall be transported to the paver site by
means of trucks/ tippers of sufficient capacity and approved design in sufficient numbers to ensure a constant
supply of concrete. Covers shall be used for protection of concrete against the weather. The trucks / tippers
shall be capable of maintaining the mixed concrete in a homogeneous state and discharging the same without
segregation and loss of cement slurry. The feeding to the paver is to be regulated in such a way that the paving
is done in an uninterrupted manner with a uniformspeed throughout the day’s work.
Placing of concrete:
Concrete mixed in central mixing plant shall be transported to the site without delay and the concrete which in
the opinion of the Engineer –in- charge has been mixed too long before laying will be rejected and shall be
removed from the site. the total time taken from the addition of the water to the mix, until the completion of the

Where fixed form pavers are to be used, forms shall be fixed in advanceas per Clause 602.8 of the specifications.
Before any paving is done, the site shall be shown to the Engineer-in-charge in order to verify the arrangement
for paving besides placing of dowels, tie-bars etc. as per the relevant clauses of this specification. The mixing
and placing of concrete shall progress only at such a rate as to permit proper finishing, protecting and curing of
the pavement.
In all cases, the temperature of the concrete shall be measured at the point of discharge from the delivery
vehicle.
The addition of water to the surface of the concrete to facilitate the finishing operations will not be permitted
except with the approval of Engineer-in-charge when it shall be applied as a mist by means of approved
equipment.
If considered necessary by the Engineer-in-charge, the paving machines shall be provided with approved covers
to protect the surface of the slab underconstruction from direct sunlight and rain or hot wind.
While the concrete is still plastic, its surface shall be brush textured in compliance with clause 602.9.9 after the
surface texturing, but before the curing compound is applied, the concrete slab shall be marked with the chain
age of every 100 minterval.

occurred by using fine concrete composed of one part of cement to 3 parts of fine chips and fine aggregate under
the supervision of the Engineer-in-charge.
If the requirement of clause 902.4 for surface regularity fails to be achieved on two consecutive working days,
then normal working shall cease until the cause of the excessive irregularity has been identified and remedied.
l. Construction by fixed formpaver :
The fixed form paving train shall consist of separate powered machines which spread, compact and finish the
concrete in a continuous operation.
The concrete shall be discharged without segregation into a hopper spreader which is equipped with means for
controlling its rate of deposition on to the sub base. The spreader shall be operated to strike off concrete upto a
61
level requiring a small amount of cutting down by the distributor of the spreader. The distributor of spreader
shall strike off the concrete to the surcharge adequate to ensure that vibratory compactor thoroughly compacts
the layer. If necessary, poker vibrators shall be used adjacent to the side forms and edges of the previously
constructed slab. The vibratory compactor shall be set to strike off the surface slightly high so that it is cut down
to the required level by the oscillating beam. The machine shall be capable of being rapidly adjusted for changes
in average and differential surcharge necessitated by changes in slab thickness or cross fall. The final finisher
shall be able to finish the surface to the required level and smoothness as specified, care being taken to avoid
bringing up of excessive mortar to the surface by over working.
m. Construction by slipformpaver :
The slipform paving train shall consist of power machine with spreads, compacts and finishes the concrete in a
continuous operation. The slip form paving machine shall compact the concrete by internal vibration and shape
it between the sides forms with either a conforming plate or by vibrating and oscillating finishing beams. The
concrete shall be deposited without segregation in front of slip form paver across the whole width and to a
height which at all times is in excess of the requiredsurcharge. The deposited concrete shall be struck off to the
necessary average and differential surcharge by means of the strike off plate or a screw auger device extending
across the whole width of the slab. The equipment for striking off the concrete shall be capable of being rapidly
adjusted for changes of the average and differential surcharge necessitated by change in slab thickness or cross
fall.
The level of the conforming plate and finishing beams shall be controlled automatically form the guide wires
installed as per clause 602.8 by sensor attached at the four corners of the slip from paving machine. The
alignment of the paver shall be controlled automatically from the guide wire by at least one set of sensors
attached to the paver. The alignment and level of ancillary machines for finishing, texturing and curing of the
concrete shall be automatically controlled relative to the guide wire or to the surface and edge of the slab.
Slip form paving machines shall have vibrators of variable output with a maximum energy output of not less
than 2.5 KW per meter width of slab per 300mm depth of slab for a laying speed up to 1.5m per minute or pro-
rata for higher speeds. The machines shall be of sufficient mass to provide adequate reaction during spreading
and paving operations on the traction units to maintainforward movements during the placing of concrete in
all situations.
If the edges of the slip formed slab slump to the extent that the surface of the top edge of the slab does not
comply with the requirements of clause 602.14 then special measures approved by the Engineer-in-charge shall
be taken to support the edges to the required levels and work shall be stopped until such time as the contractor
can demonstrate his ability to slip from the edges to the required levels.
n. Construction by hand guided method :
Areas in which hand guided methods of constructionbecome indispensable shall be got approved by the
Engineer-in-charge in writing in advance. Such work may be permitted only in restricted areas in small lengths.
Work shall be carried out by skilled personnel as per methods approved by the Engineer-in-charge. The
acceptance criteria regarding level, thickness, surface, regularity, texture, finish, strength of concrete and all
other qualitycontrol measures shall be the same as in the case of machine laid work.
o. Trial length :
The trial length shall be constructed at least one month in advance of the proposed startr of concrete paving
work. At least one month prior to the construction of the trial length, the contractor shall submitfor the
Engineer’s approval a detailed method statement giving description of the proposed materials, plant, equipment
and construction method. All the major equipment’s like paving train, batching plant, tippers etc. proposed in
the construction are to be approved by the Engineer before their procurement. No trials of new materials, plant,
equipment or construction methods, nor any development of them shall be permitted either during the
construction of trial length or in any subsequent paving work, unless they formpart of further, approved trials.
These trial lengths shall be constructed away from the carriageway but with at least a sub base layer below it.
The contractor shall demonstrate the materials, plant, equipment and methods of construction that are

62
proposed for concrete paving, by first constructing a trial length of slab, at least 60 m but not more than 300m
long for mechanized construction and at least 30m long for hand guided methods. If the first trial is
unsatisfactory, the contractor shall have to demonstrate his capability to satisfactory construct the pavement
in subsequent trials.
The trial length shall be constructed in two parts over a period comprising at least part of two separate working
days with a minimum30 m constructed each day for mechanized construction and a minimum of 15m on each
day for hand guided construction. The trial length shall be constructed at a similar rate (speed, around 1m/hr)
to that which is proposed for the main work.
Transverse joints and longitudinal joints of each type that are proposed for dowel jointed unreinforced concrete
slabs in the main work shall be constructed and assessed in the trial length. If in the trial length the construction
of expansion joint and longitudinal joint is not demonstrated, the first 2 expansion joints and at least the first
150m of longitudinal construction joint for mechanized paving in the main work, shall be considered as the trial
length of these joints.
The trial length shall comply with the specification in all respects, with the following additions and exceptions:
Surface levels and regularity:
In checking forcompliance with clause 903.5 the levels shall be taken at intervals at the locations specified in
this clause along any line or lines parallel to the longitudinal center line of the trial length.
i. The maximum number of permitted irregularities of pavement surface shall comply with the
requirement of clause 902.4. Shorter trial length shall be assessed pro-rata based on values for a 300m
length.

Joints:
ii. Alignment of dowel bars shall be inspected as described in clause 602.10.7 in any two consecutive
transfer joints. If the positionor alignment of the dowel bars at one of these joints does not comply with
clause 602.6.5 if that joint remains the only one that does not comply after the next 3 consecutive joints
of the same type have been inspected, then the method of placing dowels shall be deemed to be
satisfactory. In order to check sufficient joints for dowel bar alignment without extending the trial length
unduly, the contractor may by agreement with the Engineer, construct joints at more frequent joints
intervals than the nominal spacing required in the contract.
iii. If there are deficiencies in the first expansion joint that is constructed as a trial, the next expansion joint
shall be a trial joint. Should this also be deficient, further trial expansion joints shall be made as part of
the trial length which shall not form part of the permanent works, unless agreed by the Engineer.
Density:
iv. Density shall beassessed a described in clause 602.3.3 from at least 3 cores drilled form each part of the
trial length.
Position of tie bars:
v. Compliance with clause 602.6.6 for the position and alignment of tie bars shall be checked by drilling
additional cores from the slab unless they can be determined from cores taken for density.
Approval and acceptance:
Approval of the materials, plant, equipment and construction methods shall be given when a trial length
complies with the specification. The contractor shall not proceed with normal working until the trial length has
been approved and any earlier defective trial lengths have been removed, unless that can be remedied to the
satisfaction of the Engineer. If the Engineer does not notify the contractor of any deficiencies in any trial length
within 10 days after the completion of that trial length, the contractor may assume that the trial length, and the
materials, plant, equipment and construction methods adopted are acceptable.

63
When approval hasbeen given, the materials, plantequipment and construction methods shall not thereafter be
changed, except for normal adjustments and maintenance of plant, without the approval of the Engineer. Any
changes in materials, plant, equipment, and construction methods shall entitle the Engineer to require the
contractor to lay a further trial length as described in this clause to demonstrate that the changes will not
adversely affect the permanent works.
Trial lengths which do not comply with the specification, with the exception of areas which are deficient only in
surface texture and which can be remedied in accordance withclause 602.9.8.6 shall be removed immediately
upon notification of deficiencies by the Engineer and the contractor shall construct a further trial length.
Inspection of dowel bars:
Compliance with clause 602.6.5 for the position and alignment of dowel bars at construction and expansion
joints shall be checked by measurements relative to the side forms or guide wires.
When the slab has been constructed, the position and alignment of dowel bars and any filler board shall be
measured after carefully exposing them in the plastic concrete across the whole width of the slab. When the
joint is an expansion joint, the top of the filler board shall first be exposed sufficiently in the plastic concrete to
permitmeasurement of any lateral or vertical displacement of the board. During the course of normal working,
these measurements shall be carried out in the pavement section at the end of day’s work by extending slab
length by 2m. After sawing the transverse joint groove, the extended 2m slab shall be removed carefully soon
after concrete has set to expose dowels over half the length. These dowels can be tested for tolerances.
If the position and alignment of the bars in a single joint in the slab is unsatisfactory then the next two joints
shall be inspected. If only one joint of the three is defective, the rate of checking shall be increased to one joint
per day until the Engineer is satisfied that compliance is being achieved. In the event of non-compliance in two
or more successive joints, the contractor shall revert to the construction of fresh trial lengths and make any
necessary alteration to concrete mix, paving plant or methods until the dowel bar position and alignment are
satisfactory.
After the dowel bars have been examined, the remainder of the concrete shall be removed over a width of
500mm on each side of the line of the joint and reinstated to the satisfaction of the Engineer. The dowel shall be
inserted on both sides of the 1m wide slab by drilling holes and grouting with epoxy mortar. Plastic sheath as
per clause 602.6.5.5 shall be provided on dowels on one of the joints. The joint groove shall be widened and
sealed as per clause 602.11.
Preparation and sealing of joint grooves:
General:
All transverse joints in surface slabs shall be sealed using sealants described in clause 602.2.8. Joints shall not
be sealed before 14 days after construction.
Preparation of joint grooves for sealing:
Joints grooves usually are not constructed to provide the minimum width specified in the drawings when saw
cut joints are adopted. They shall be widened subsequently by sawing before sealing. Depth / width gauges shall
be used to control the dimension of the groove.
If rough arises develop when grooves are made, they shall be ground to provide a chamfer approximately 5 mm
wide. If the groove is at an angle up to 10 degree from the perpendicular to the surface, the overhanging edge
of the sealing groove shall be sawn or ground perpendicular. If sapling occurs or the angle of the former is
greater than 10 degrees, the joint sealing groove shall be sawn wider and perpendicular to the surface to
encompass the defects up to a maximum width, including any chamfer of 35mm for transverse joints and 20mm
for longitudinal joints. If the sapling cannot be so eliminated then the arises shall be repaired by an approved
thin bonded arris repair using cementations materials.
All grooves shall be cleaned of any dirt or loose material by air blasting with filtered, oil free compressed air. If
need arises the Engineer may instruct cleaning by pressurized water jets. Depending upon the requirement of
the sealant manufacturer, the sides of the grooves may have to be sand blasted to increase the bondage between
64
sealant and concrete.
The groove shall be cleaned and dried at the time of priming and sealing.
Before sealing the temporary seal provided for blocking the ingress of dirt, soil, etc. shall be removed. A highly
compressible heat resistant paper backed deboning strip as per drawing shall be inserted in the groove to serve
the purpose of breaking the bondbetween sealant and the bottom of the groove and to plug the joint groove so
that the sealant may not leak through the cracks. The width of deboning strip shall be more than the joint groove
width so that it is held tightly in the groove. In the case of longitudinal joints, heat resistant tapes may be inserted
to block the leakage through bottom of the joint.
Sealing with sealants:
When sealants are applied, an appropriate primer shall also be used if recommended by the manufacturer and
it shall be applied in accordance with their recommendation. The sealant shall be applied within the minimum
and maximum drying times of the primer recommended by the manufacturer. Priming and sealing with applied
sealants shall not be carried out when the naturally occurring temperature in the joint groove to be sealed is
below 7 o C.
If hot applied sealant is used it shall be heated and applied from a thermostatically controlled, indirectly heated
preferably with oil jacketed melted and pourer having recirculating pump and extruder. For large road projects,
sealant shall be applied with extruder having flexible hose and nozzle. The sealant shall not be heated to a
temperature higher than the safe heating temperature and not for a period longer than the safe heating period,
as specified by the manufacturer. The dispenser shlalbe cleaned out at the end of each day in accordance with
the manufacturer’s recommendations and reheated material shall not be used.
Cold applied sealants with chemical formulation like polysulphide may be used. These shall be mixed and
applied within the time limit specified by the manufacturer. If primers are recommended they shall be applied
neatly with an appropriate brush. The movement accommodationfactor (MAF) shall be more than 10 percent.
The sealants applied at contraction phase of the slabs would result in bulging of the sealant over and above the
slab. Therefore, the contractor in consultation with the Engineer, shall establish the right temperature and time
for applying the sealant. Thermometer shall be hung on a pole in the site for facilitating control during the
sealing operation.
Sealant shall be applied, slightly to a lower level than the slab with a tolerance of 5 +/- 2mm.
During sealing operation, it shall be seen that no air bubbles are introduced in the sealant either by vapors or
by the sealing process.
Testing of applied sealants:
Manufacturer’s certificate shall be produced by the contractorfor establishing that the sealant is not more than
six months old and stating that the sealant complies with the relevant standardas in Clause 602.2.8. The samples
shall meet the requirement of AASHTO M 282 for hot applied sealant or BS 5212 (Part-2) for cold applied
sealant.
Measurement of Texture Depth – Sand Patch Method:
The following apparatus shall be used.
i) A cylindrical container of 25 ml. internal capacity.
ii) A flat wooden disc 64mm diameter with a hard rubber disc, 1.5mm thick, stuck to one face, the reverse
face being provided with a handle.
iii) Dry natural sand with a rounded particle shape passing a 300 micron IS sieve and retained on a 150
micron IS sieve.
Method :
The surface to be measured shall be dried, any extraneous mortar and loose material removed and the surface
swept clean using a wire brush both at right angles and parallel to the carriage way. The cylindrical container

65
shall be filled with the sand tapping the base 3 times on the surface to ensure compaction, and striking off the
sand level with the top of the cylinder. The sand shall be poured into a heap on the surface to be treated. The
sand shall be spread over the surface, working the disc with its face kept flat in a circular motion so that the
sand is spread into a circular patch with the surface depression filled with sand to the level of peaks.
The diameter of the patch shall be measured to the nearest 5mm. The texture depth of concrete surface shall be
calculated from 31000/(DxD) mm where D is the diameter of the patch in mm.
Opening to Traffic:
Tolerances for surface regularity, level, thickness and strength:
Measurement for payment:
Cement concrete pavement shall be measured as a finished work in cubic meters with specified thickness. The
volume to be paidforwill be calculated on the basis of thickness and plans shown on the project drawings and
adjusted for the deficiency in thickness. No additionalpayment shall be made for extra thickness of the slab. The
full payment will be made to this itemafter 28 days strength of the concrete is found to be satisfactory.

The unitformeasurement for concrete pavement shall be the cubic meter of concrete placed, based on
the netplan areas for the specified thickness shown on the drawings or directed by the Engineer. The rate shall
include all provisions of this specification and shall include the provision of all provisions of this specification
and shall include the provision of all materials including polythene film, concrete, stock piling, mixing, transport,
placing, compacting, finishing, curing together with all form work, and including testing and submission of test
certificates and records. No deduction shall be made in measurement for openings provided that the area of
each is less than 0.5 sq.m. New Ply 1st Class should be used for formwork
The unit rate as entered in the bill of quantities shall also include the full costs of contraction, expansions,
construction, and longitudinal joints. It shall also include joint filler, keys, caulking rod, debonding strip, sealant
primer, joint sealant, dowel bar and the tie rod.
Pavement thickness:
All precautions and care shall be taken to construct pavement having uniform thickness as called for on the
plans.
Thickness of the cement concrete pavement shall be calculated on the basis of level data of the cement concrete
pavement and the underlying sub-base taken on a grid of 5m x 3.5m or 6.25m x 3.5m, the former measurement
being in longitudinal direction.
A day’s work is considered as a “lot” for calculating the average thickness of the slab. IN calculating the average
thickness, individual measurements which are in excess of the specified thickness by more than 10mm shall be
considered as the specified thickness plus 10mm.
Individual areas deficient by more than 25mm shall be verified by the Engineer by ordering core cutting and if
in his opinion the deficient areas warrant removal, they shall be removed and replaced with concrete of the
thickness shown on the plans.
When the average thickness for the lot is deficient by the extent shown in Table, the contractunitpricewillbe
