For all work, concrete shall be mixed in a mechanical mixer which along with other accessories shall

be kept in first class working condition and maintained throughout the construction. Measured

quantity of aggregate, sand, and cement required for each batch shall be poured into the drum of

the mechanical mixer while it is continuously running. After about half a minute of dry-mixing,

measured quantity of water required for each batch of concrete mix shall be added gradually and

mixing continued for another one and a half minute. Mixing shall be continued till materials are

uniformly distributed and uniform colour of the entire mass is obtained and each individual particle

of the coarse aggregate shows complete coating of mortar containing its proportionate amount of

cement. In no case shall the mixing be done for less than 2 minutes after all ingredients have been

put into the mixer. Mixers which have been out of use for more than 30 minutes shall be

thoroughly cleaned before putting in a new batch. Unless otherwise agreed to by the Engineer-in-

charge, the first batch of concrete from the mixture shall contain only 2/3rds of normal quantity of

coarse aggregate. Mixing plant shall be thoroughly cleaned before changing from one type of

cement to another.

The degree of consistency which shall depend upon the nature of the work and methods of

vibration of concrete shall be determined by regular slump tests in accordance with IS: 1199-1959.

The slump of 10 mm. to 25 mm. shall be adopted when vibrators are used.

All Moulds shall be cleaned and made free from standing water, dust, snow, or ice immediately

before placing of concrete.

Formwork/Metal Mould for exposed concrete surface (If indicated):

All the moulds shall be checked for exact dimensions of the precast blocks. All the edges of the

precast blocks shall confirm the profile of the final drawing & edges/ curvatures of the moulds shall

be checked accordingly. Moulds shall be regularly checked for correctness of dimensions of Blocks,

twists, bends due to handling, etc. Before starting every days work.

Care shall be taken to set all form work/Mould in perfect line, level (or in required camber or slope

as specified) and plumb. Form work/Mould propping shall be strong, rigid, and sturdy. The form

work/Mould shall be as per pattern & design shown in drawings. Form work/Mould shall be done

accurately and precisely so as to achieve neat, clean and smooth concrete surface, in line, level and

plumb. Clinks, twists, offsets, warps, riveting etc. in plates or forms shall not be allowed. Before

placing concrete, forms shall be thoroughly cleaned off of all rust, dust, and loose materials.

Colourless oil or grease of approved quality shall be applied before placing steel. Also the form

work material will be of wood/plywood/steel or any sort of such material, as approved by the

Engineer-in-Charge and/or his authorized representative; so that all exposed concrete surfaces

have uniform colour.

For all kind of exposed concrete work only one brand (to be approved by the Engineer-in charge) of

cement shall be used.

Removal of Moulds: Specific time shall be identified for removal of moulds, such that the concrete of

the precast blocks shall gain strength to withstand the stresses generated due to self weight and

handling to drying yards without any deformation to shape/ dimensions/ edges.

Sufficient time shall be given to the block after it is removed from the mould so that it can gain

strength and dry in shade to prevent any cracks due to shrinkage. This shall be done in drying yards.

Curing of block shall be done only in curing pond and curing shall be done for minimum 14 days.

Drying period after removing from pond & before delivery to site: Water should be drained of from

the block before it is actually sent to the site. Time should be provided for proper draining of water

which may be present in the block kept for curing in the pond.

Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation

Precaution shall be taken while transporting of the blocks to site.

The blocks should be loaded and unloaded with due care so as to avoid generation of stresses

leading to breaking of block. Care should be taken to prevent the block from breaking during

The pits of the size 150mm in width and required depth shall first be excavated, true to line and

level. The relevant specifications of item A- 1 shall be followed for excavation work. The pits shall

be filled with a layer of 50mm. thick sand bedding. The curbs then shall be placed in position of

which 50mm. shall be below road. Care should be taken to maintain proper line and level. The

joints between the kerbs shall be pointed with C.M. 1:2 and cured for minimum seven days.

Sampling and testing of concrete:

Samples from fresh concrete shall be taken as per IS : 1199-1959 and cubes shall be made, cured

and tested at 7 days or 28 days as per requirements in accordance with IS : 516-1959. A random

sampling procedure shall be adopted to ensure that each concrete batch shall have a reasonable

chance of being tested i.e. the sampling should be spread over the entire period of concreting and

cover all mixing units.

At least 1 sample shall be taken from each shift. Ten test specimens shall be made from each

sample, 5 for testing at 7 days, and the remaining 5 at 28 days. The samples of concrete shall be

taken on each day of the concreting as per above frequency. The number of specimens may be

suitably increased as deemed necessary by the Engineer-in-charge when procedure of tests given

above reveals a poor quality of concrete and in other special cases. The average strength of the

group of cubes cast for each day shall not be less than the specified cube strength of 200 Kg/cm2 at

28 days. 20% of the cubes cast for each day may have value less than the specified strength

provided the lowest value is not less than 85% of the specified strength. If the concrete made in

accordance with the proportions given for a particular grade, does not yield the specified strength,

such concrete shall be classified as belonging to the appropriate lower grade. Concrete made in

accordance with the proportions given for a particular grade shall not, however, be placed in a

higher grade on the ground that the test strength are higher than the minimum specified. If rock

pockets/honeycombs in the opinion of Engineer-in-charge are of such an extent or character so as

to affect the strength of the structure, materially or to endanger the life of the steel reinforcement,

he may declare the concrete defective and require the removal and replacement of the portion of

the structure affected.

Precast Kerb Stones:

The relevant specifications of concreting as per item above shall be followed except that work shall

be carried out for precast concrete kerb stones as specified in the item. All Precast members shall

be cast at workshop. Sufficient curing shall be done before placement of the same the method of

transporting and placing the precast members shall be as approved by the Engineer-in-charge.

Members shall be so transported that no breakage or undue stresses are induced in them. If

required, all members shall have a key provided on both the faces i.e top and bottom surfaces, of

adequate size so as to fill the same with concrete while laying. The function of this key is to avoid

the leakage through the joint between the precast member and the member on which it is laid.

reinforcement. The volume occupied by reinforcement shall not be deducted from R.C.C. work.

The rate shall be for a unit of Rmt.
