mixer is stirred thoroughly before use with a wooden stick. Consolidation by
beating with mallet continued until the mortar set fully and mallet rebound from
the surface. Special care taken not to allow lime concrete to dry before it is

c. Properly burnt in kilns, kept dry until slacked ground screened through 3mm-mesh
screen and slacked at site.

b. Under burnt and soluble in water when used for imperting hydraulicity to lime
mixtures and ground to pass a 1.5mm mesh/sieve and used in the proportion of:

(i) Lime : 0.50 Surki : 1.5 Sand for 1 : 2 mix

(ii) Lime and so : 1 Surki : 2 sand for 1 : 3 mix

11. Proportions. The proportions given are by bulk. The gauge boxes shall of such dimensions
that a complete bag of cement forms a unit of 0.0345 cubic metre, when cement is re-bagged it will
be done by weight so that a complete bag will weight 50 Kg.

12. Mixing. Concrete mixed by machinery, shall be mixed for at least 2 minutes. Hand mixing
shall be done on a clean platform. the lime or cement and sand shall be thoroughly mixed together
dry. The aggregate shall be first soaked with the prescribed quantity of water and the other mixed
ingredients added and the whole turned over three times. Sufficient water being added through a
rose to make the mixture workable. Hand mixing shall only be allowed if total quantity of cement
concrete for the day work does not exceed 1.50 cubic metre. No hand mixing shall be allowed for
RCC work.

13. Depositing. Concrete shall be used as mixed, deposited and well-consolidated in layers
n.exc. 15cm thick cement concrete in which the initial set has taken place shall be rejected.

14. Working up. Carefully work up and put concrete against surfaces and around
reinforcement so that the later is not displace.

15. Aggregate. All aggregates for PCC/ RCC works shall be 19mm graded unless otherwise
shown in the drg.

16. Size of Coarse Aggregates. Maximum nominal size of coarse aggregate shall be the
minimum of the following.

a. 1/5 the narrowest dimension between sides of forms.

RESTRICTED
 RESTRICTED

b. 1/3 the depth of slabs

c. ¾ the minimum clear spacing between individual reinforcing bars or bundles of

bars or pre stressing tendons or ducts

d. The above limitations may be relaxed if in the judgement of the Engineer

workability and methods of consolidations are such that concrete can be placed without
honeycomb or voids

17. Form Work. Includes rough wrought casings, forms, mould, centering of any shape, size or
section all struts, supports, spikes, bolts, dogs, etc. together with erection, easing, striking, removal,
use and waste up to 6 months. Form work shall be paved over with soap, grease or lime wash to
prevent adhesion of concrete. Steel shuttering has been considered for RRC works.

18. Reinforcement. For concrete shall be measured separately as supplied and fixed under
"Steel and Iron works" section.

19. Exposed faces of cast in situ pre-cast and reinforced concrete shall be brought to fair and
even surface by through punning (by working the concrete against the casings and the centering)
and tamping, whilst the concrete is being poured in, and also by working over the surface with a
trowel immediately after the removal of the casings, or centering, in order to remove any
irregularities and stop up any air holes, using where necessary, cement mortar which will give a
similar appearances to the original concrete. Separate plaster after the initial set shall not be
allowed.

20. Channels. Formed in concrete shall be finished fair to proper falls with all bends, stopped
ends, etc., required.

21. Pointing. The joints of concrete block walling shall be raked out as the work proceeds and
the surface cleaned and brushed. Flush pointing in addition shall be executed as required.

22. Linear Girth (Small). Refer to chamfers, splays rounded angles, coved angles, beads,
grooves, rebates, n. exc. 10 cm girth, and mouldings, n.exc. 15 cm girth.

23. Incidental Labours. Refer to stops, returns, rounded ends, junctions, dishing, etc. in
connection with linear superficial labours.

24. Curing and Protection. Concrete shall be kept wet for 10 days after laying and protected
with sand, sawdust, gunny bags etc., as required. Protect concrete from frost of any other damage.

25 Unless. Unless otherwise stated fair finish shall imply even, fair but not smooth finish.

26. Piling.

a. Boring/ Drilling of Cast in Situ Pile. Boring/ drilling for cast in situ pile up to the
required depth and diameter with temporary steel casing, true to vertical, providing
bentonite slurry and maintaining water level in the hole, washing the hole for at least 30
minutes, clean the bore-hole and make the bore-hole ready for placing steel cage and
except concreting but including charge of rig set with winch machine, tripod stand, trimie
pipe, cost of fuel, lubricant, mobilization, demobilization, maintenance, spares, stand-byes,
water, electricity & other charges all complete as per design and direction of Engineer-in-
Charge.

b. Casting of Cast in Situ Pile. Reinforced cement concrete works (1:1.5:3) in bore-
hole for making cast-in-situ pile having minimum compressive strength 20 Mpa at 28 days
or as shown in the drg. on standard cylinder with cement conforming to BDS 232 & ASTM
standard mixed with best quality coarse sand (FM 2.5), 19 mm down well graded crushed
stone chips including breaking chips, screening through proper sieves, making, placing re-
bar cage in position, placing & removing tri-pod as per requirement, pouring the concrete
in bore-hole, maintaining the trimie pipe immersed in concrete by at least 1 meter
throughout the period of concreting, maintaining required slump etc. mixing the
aggregates with mixer machine with hoper, casting in forms, all complete in water,
electricity, testing of materials and concrete etc & other as per design, drawing and
direction of Engineer-in-Charge.

c. Conducting Static Load Test. Conducting static load test for the cast-in-situ/ pre-
cast pile providing required scaffolding, bracing, jacks, pressure test gauge, loading
unloading, Kent ledge and other plants and equipment including staging, mobilization,
demobilization, hire charge, gunny bags & sand filling sack / gunny bags for loading, record
readings & preparation of results in standard forms & other incidental charges as per
standard practice and procedures incl submission of load test report, furnishing all graph
and chart as per standard practice & direction of the Engineer-in-Charge. Allowable
settlement shall not be more than .00028 mm per kg of the test load nor 20 mm.
