Curling and warping of slabs

The solution to cracking is not necessarily to focus on increasing concrete strength. Design strength must be balanced with other factors that affect cracking, such as volume changes, curling and warping, loading, 13 weather and level of support

Function of Plasticizers
(Admixtures conforming to IS:6925 and IS:9103 may be used up to 2% by weight as per IS:456) Fine cement particles being very small clump together and flocculate when water is added to concrete. This ionic attraction between the particles trap considerable volume of water and hence water required for workability of concrete mix is not fully utilised. Negative charges are induced on the fine cement particles causing flocks to disperse and release the entrapped water. Water reducing admixtures or plasticizers therefore help to increase the flow of the concrete mix considerably. 23

Placing of concrete
Concrete shall be deposited on the sub base to the required depth and width in successive batches and in continuous operation. Care shall be taken to see that no segregation takes place. Spreading shall be as uniform as possible and shall be accompanied by shovels. While being placed, the concrete shall be rodded with suitable tools so that formation of voids or honeycomb pockets are avoided.
27

MORD 1501.13 concreting in hot weather

No concreting shall be done when the concrete temperature is above 30C measured at point of placing and or when ambient temperature is above 35C. In adverse conditions, like high temperature, low relative humidity, excessive wind velocity, imminence of rains etc. freshly laid concrete shall be adequately protected by tarpaulins. MORD 1501.14: Concreting in cold weather No concreting shall be done when the concrete temperature is below 5C 28

Compaction of Concrete
Compaction is necessary to remove entrapped air present in concrete after it is mixed, transported and placed. Compaction also eliminates stone pockets and remove all types of voids. Consolidation is the process of making the freshly placed PCC into a more uniform and compact mass by eliminating undesirable air voids and causing it to move around potential obstructions. Vibrators work by rotating an eccentric weight which causes the entire vibrator to move back and forth. This movement excites particles within the PCC mass, causing them to move closer together and better flow around obstructions. On vibration, concrete mix gets fluidized resulting in entrapped air raising to the surface and concrete becoming denser 29

Guidelines for compaction with Pin Vibrator 1) Insert poker quickly and allow it to penetrate by its own weight to the bottom of layer so that the entrapped air is removed uniformly. 2) Leave the poker in concrete for 10 seconds. Compaction time depends on slump. 3) Poker must be inserted quickly, but withdrawal must be slow so that the hole left by the poker is filled up as it is being withdrawn. 4) Locations of poker insertion should be staggered. 5) Avoid touching the form work (and reinforcement) with poker. 6) Poker should extend up to 100mm into the previous layer. 30

MORD 1501.17: Texturing Just before the concrete becomes non plastic, the surface shall be textured with an approved long handled steel or fiber brush. The brush shall be pulled gently over the pavement surface transversely from one edge to the other. Adjacent strokes shall be slightly overlapped. Texturing shall be perpendicular to the center line of the pavement. The corrugations so produced will be uniform in character, width and about 1.5mm deep. Texturing shall be completed before the concrete reaches such a stage that the surface is likely to be torn or unduly roughened by the operation. Texturing shall be free from porous or rough spots, irregularities, depressions and small pockets.

Concrete Curing Curing is the process of maintaining a satisfactory moisture content and favorable temperature in the concrete during hydration of cementetious material so that the desired properties of the concrete are developed. Its objective is specifically to keep the concrete saturated until the water filled spaces in the fresh cement paste are filled to the desired extent by products of the hydration.

34

MORD 15001.18: Curing After finishing, the pavement surface shall be entirely covered with wet hessian cloth (minimum of 2 layers), burlap or jute mats. The coverings used shall be of such size that when laid, will extend by 500mm beyond the slabs. They shall be placed as soon as the concrete has set sufficiently to prevent marring of the surface. They shall be maintained fully wetted for 24 hours. The concrete slab shall not be exposed for more than 30 minutes for saw cutting of joints. After saw cutting of joints, it shall be covered and kept wet. Upon the removal of wet covers after 24 hours, the slabs shall be thoroughly wetted and then cured by ponding. Exposed edges shall be banked with substantial amount of earth.35

Causes of cracking in concrete roads 1) Plastic shrinkage of concrete surface due to rapid loss of moisture 2) Drying shrinkage 3) High wind velocity associated with low humidity 4) High ambient temperature 5) Delayed sawing of joints
94

Shrinkage cracking probably due to late sawing (left) Joint raveling due to early sawing (right)
Timing the Sawing Window: Joints are usually constructed by saw-cutting the concrete a few hours after placing. The optimum period of time to saw contraction joints is known as the sawing window. The sawing window for conventional saws generally begins when concrete is strong enough not to ravel excessively along the saw cut. The window ends when significant shrinkage occurs that induces uncontrolled cracking

Concrete Cores in CC roads:

Crushing strength of cylindrical specimens =0.8crushing strength of cubes when the height to diameter ratio of core is 2. Crushing strength of cylinders with height to diameter ratio between 1 and 2 may be multiplied by a correction factor f = 0.11n+0.78 where n is height to diameter ratio. Number of cores = minimum 3

The concrete in the core test shall be considered acceptable if the average equivalent cube strength of the cores is at least 85% of the cube strength of the grade of concrete specified for the corresponding age and no individual core has a strength less than 75% 99

Acceptance Criteria for Cracked Concrete Slabs

Slabs with full depth cracks are totally unacceptable as it amounts to structural failures. Other cracks which are deep and are likely to progress in depth with time are also to be considered as serious in nature. Fine crazy cracks are not serious. Slabs with cracks having depth more than half slab depth shall not be accepted. Following type of cracked slabs are acceptable: 1) Length of single crack shall not be more than 750mm, eventhough its depth is less than half of slab depth. 2) Cumulative length of cracks with depth of crack less than half depth of slab in a panel not more than 100 1250mm
