otherwise they shall have clean and bright surface and shall be as directed as per site condition.

The length and width of G.I. sheet shall be as directed as per site condition.

M-24 G.I Valleys gutter ridges :

The G.I.ridges and hips shall be of plain galvanised sheets class-3 of the thickness as specified in item. These

shall be 600 mm. in width and properly bent up to shape without damage to the sheets in process of bending.

Valleys gutters and flashings shall also be galvanised sheet of thickness as specified in item. Valleys shall be

900 mm. Wide overall and flashing shall be 380 mm. wide overall. They shall be bent to the required shape

without damage to the sheet in the process of bending.

M-25. Manglore Pattern Roof Tiles :

The manglore pattern tiles shall conform to I.S. 654-1972 for Class AA or Class “A” type as specified in item.

Samples of the tiles to be provided shall be got approved from the Engineer-in-charge. Necessary tests shall be

carried out as directed.

M-26. Shuttering :

The shuttering shall be either of widen planking of 30 mm. minimum thickness with or without steel lining roof

steel plates stiffened by steel angles. The shuttering shall be supported on battens and beams and props of vertical

ballies properly cross braced togather so as to make the centering rigid. In places of bully props, brick pillar of

adequate section built in mud mortar may be used.

The form work shall be sufficiently strong and shall have camber, so that it assumes correct shape after deposition

of the concrete and shall be able to resist forces caused by vibration of live load of men working over it and other

incidental loads associated with it. The shuttering shall have smooth and even surface and its joints shall not

permit leakage of cement grout.

If at any stag of work during or after placing concrete in the structure, the form work sags or bulges out beyond

the required shape of the structure, the concrete shall be removed and work redone with fresh concrete and

adequately rigid form work. The complete from work shall be got inspected by and got approved from the

engineer-in-charge, before the reinforcement bars are placed in position.

The props shall consist of bullies having 100 mm. minimum diameter measured at mix length and 80 mm, at thin

end and shall be placed as per design requirement. These shall rest squarely on wooden sole plates 40 mm. thick

and minimum bearing area if 0-10 sq. m. laid on sufficiently hard base.

Double wedges shall further be provided between the sole plate and the wooden props so as to facilitate

tightening and easing of shuttering without jerking the concrete.

The timber used in shuttering shall not be so dry as to absorb water from concrete and swell or bulge nor so

green or wet as to shrink after erection. The timber shall be properly sawn and planed on the sides and surface

coming in contact with concrete. Wooden from work with metal sheet lining or steel plates stiffened by steel

angles shall be permitted.

As far as practicable, clamps shall be used to hold the forms together and use of nails and spikes avoided.

The surface of timber shuttering that would come in contact with concrete shall be well wetted and coated with

soap solutions before the concreting is done. Alternatively coat of raw linseed oil or oil of approved manufacturer

may be applied in place of soap solution. In case of steel shuttering either soap solution or raw linseed oil shall

be applied after thoroughly cleaning the surface. Under no circumstances black or burnt oil shall be permitted.

The shuttering for beams and slabs shall have camber of 4 mm. per meter (1 to 250) or as directed by the

Engineer-in-charge so as to offset the subsequent deflection. For cantilevers, The camber at free end shall be

1/50 of the projected length or as directed by the Engineer-in-charge.

M-27. Expansion joints-Premoulded filter :

The item provides for expansion joints in R.C.C frame structures for internal joints, as well as exposed joints,

with the use of premoulded bituminous joint filler.

Premoulded bituminous joint filler, i.e. performed strip of expansion joint filler shall not get deformed or broken

by twisting, bending or other handling when exposed to atmospheric condition. Pieces of joint filler that lave

been damaged shall be rejected.

Thickness of the pre-moulded joint filler shall otherwise specified.

Premoulded bituminous joint filler shall conform to I.S. 1838-1961.

M-28 Expansion joints-Copper strips & hold fasts :

The item provide for expansion joints in R.C.C frame structure for internal joints as well as for exposed joints

with the use of necessary copper strip and hold fasts.

Copper sheet shall be of 1.25 mm. thick and of 1.25 mm. width when the ‘U’ shape in middle. Copper strips

shall have hold fast of 3 mm. diameter copper rod fixed to the plate soldered on strip at intervals of about 30 cm.

or as shown in the drawing or as directed. The width of each flange (horizontal side) of the copper plate to be

embedded in the concrete work shall be 25 mm. Depth of ‘U’ to be provide in the expansion joint, in the copper

plate shall be of 25 mm.

M-29. Teak wood :

The teak wood shall be of good quality as required for the item to be executed. When the kind of wood is not

specifically mentioned, good Indian teak wood as approved shall be used.

Teak wood shall generally be free from large, loose, dead or cluster knots, flaws, shakes, warps, twists bends or

any other defects. It shall generally be uniform in substance and of straight fibres as far as possible. It shall be

free from rot, decay, harmful fungi and other defects of harmful nature which will affect the strength durability

of its usefulness for the purpose for which it is required. The colour shall be uniform as far as possible. Any

effort like painting, using any adhesive or resins materials made to hide the defects shall render the pieces liable

to rejection by the Engineer-in-charge.

All scantlings, planks etc. shall be sawn in straight lines and planes in the direction of grains and of uniform

The tolerances in the dimensions shall be allowed at the rate of 1.5 m.m. per face to be planed.

First class teak wood : 29.5.1. First class teak wood shall have no individual hard and sound knots, more than

6 sq. cm. size and the aggregate area of such knots shall not be more than 1% of area of piece. The timber shall

be closed grained.

Second Class Teak Wood : 29.6.1. No individual hard and sound knots shall be more than 15 Sq. cms. in size

and aggregate area of such knots shall not-exceed 2% of the area of piece.
