remixed at bottom of chutes to overcome any segregation that might have occurred.
3.1 As far as possible the preparation of various ingredients of concrete shall be
determined on the bases of preliminary tests as per ISS using the actual materials to be
used on site. However in absence of such preliminary tests the volumetric proportion of
1:2:4 may be adopted i.e., one part of cement, two parts of sand and four parts of
Kapachi, water just sufficient to attain desired workability may be added. However, the
aim while proportioning should be to fix the proportion of aggregation and water cement
ratio shall be always sufficiently low enough to get desired strength.
3.2.1 Coarse aggregate shall consist of tough angular black trap Kapachi. The Kapachi shall be obtained
from approved source only. Normally at least two stock piles of different size of 12 to 20mm
and 25mm to 40mm shall be maintained. It will however, be preferably to maintain
third stock pile of 6mm to 12mm also for better control on mix of concrete.
3.2.2 The maximum size of coarse aggregate to be used shall be as large as possible within
the limits of requirements, based on size of member and spacing of reinforcement. But
aggregate exceeding 40mm shall not be used in concrete for ESR.
3.2.3 Depending up on the size of member, spacing of reinforcement and degree of
workability desired, the coarse aggregates from different stockpiles may be mixed in a
suitable proportion to get a uniform mix that does not segregate.
3.2.4 The coarse aggregate shall not contain dust, clay or other such harmful material. If
directed by the engineer the same shall be washed with water and dried before being

concrete before it is used in the structure. It shall be properly anchored to the concrete.
Wire ties passing through beams, columns and walls shall not be allowed. In their place bolts
passing through sleeves shall be used. Formwork spacers left in situ shall not impair the desired
appearance or durability of the structure by causing swelling, rust staining or allowing the
passage of moisture.
For liquid retaining structures, sleeves shall not be provided for through bolts nor shall through
bolts be removed if provided. The bolts, in the latter case, shall be cut at 25 mm depth from the
surface and the hole made good by cement mortar of the same proportion as the concrete
just after striking the formwork.
The striking time for formwork shall be determined based on the following requirements:
(a) Development of adequate concrete strength;
(b) Permissible deflection at time of striking form work;
(c) Curing procedure employed - its efficiency and effectiveness;
Botad Nagarpalika
(d) Subsequent surface treatment to be done;
(e) Prevention of thermal cracking at re-entrant angles;
(f) Ambient temperatures; and
(g) Aggressiveness of the environment (unless immediate adequate steps are
taken to prevent damage to the concrete).
Under normal circumstances (generally where temperatures are above 20oC) forms
may be struck after expiry of the time period given in IS:456 unless approved otherwise
by the Engineer In charge. For Portland Pozzolana/slag cement the stripping time shall
be suitably modified as approved by the Engineer In charge. It is the Contractor's
responsibility to ensure that forms are not struck until the concrete has developed
sufficient strength to support itself, does not undergo excessive deformation and resist
surface damage and any stresses arising during the construction period.

segregation and concrete may be remixed at bottom of chutes to get uniform
mix. Before any concrete is placed in position all loose materials such as dirt, chips of
stones, wood, steel etc. should be removed. Inner side of forms should be coated with
thin layer of oil to get a good finished surface.
Concrete should not be dumped from above in which case aggregate will segregates, but
placed gently from a height not exceeding 1.5 meter. Compaction of concrete shall
be done by vibrators till cream appears at top. Over vibration shall be avoided to
avoid segregation.
