The materials shall be so proportioned as to produce a conerete having a slump of not less than 100 mm. and not more than 180mm. The slump shall be tested as per IS + 516. Coffer-dams or forms shall be sufficiently tight to ensure’ still water conditions if practicable, and in any case to reduce the flow of water to less than 3 meters per minute through the space Into which concrete Is to be deposited. Coffer-dams or forms in still water shall be sufficentiy tight to prevent loss of mortar through the joints in the wells. Pumping shall not be done while concrete is being placed, or until 24 hours thereafter. Concrete shall be deposited continuously until it has been brought to the required height, While depositing, the top surface shall always be kept as nearly level as possible and formation of seams avoided, For depositing concrete any one of the following method may be used: (@)___Tremie - When concrete is to be deposited under water by means of tremie, the top section of the tremie shall be a hopper large enough to hold one full batch of the mix or the entire contents of the transporting bucket if any. The tremie pipe shall not be less than 200 mm. in diameter, and shall be large enough to allow a free flow of concrete and strong enough to withstand the external pressure of the water in which It is suspended, even if a partial vacuum develops inside the pipe. Preferably, flanged steel pipe of adequate strength for the job shall be used. A separate lifting device shall be provided for each tremie pipe with its hopper at the upper end. Unless the lower end of the pipe is equipped with an approved automatic check valve, the upper end of the pipe shall be plugged with a wadding of gunny sacking or other approved material before delivering the concrete to the tremie pipe through the hopper, so that when the concrete is forced dovin from the hopper to the pipe it will force the plug (and along with it any water In the pipe) down the pipe and out of the bottom end, thus establishing a continuous stream of concrete. It will be necessary to raise slowly the tremie In order to allow a uniform flow of concrete, but it shall not be emptied so that water enters above the concrete in tthe pipe. At all times after the placing of concrete is started and until all the required quantity thas been placed, the lower end of the tremie pipe shall be kept below the top surface of the placed concrete. This will cause the concrete to build up from below instead of flowing out over’ the surface, and thus avoid formation of layers of laitance. If the charge in the tremie is lost vihile depositing, the tremle shall be raised above the concrete surface, and unless sealed by a check valve it shall be re-plugged at the top end, as at the beginning, before refiling for depositing further concrete, (b) Drop Bottom Bucket -The top of the bucket shall be closed. The bottom doors shall move freely downward and outward when tripped. The bucket shail be filecl completely and lowered slowly to avoid backwash. It shall not be dumped until it rests on the surface upon which the concrete is to be deposited and when discharged shall be withdrawn slowly until above the concrete. To minimize the formation of laitance, great care shall be exercised not to disturb the concrete as far as possible while tis being deposited, 11.9.0 CURING OF CONCRETE 11.9.1. Protection and Weer Curing Immediately after compaction, concrete shall be protected against harmful effect of weather, including rain, running water, shocks, vibration, traffic, rapid temperature changes and premature dying out, it shall be covered with wet sacking, Hessian or other similar absorbent material approved by the Architect/PMC soon after the initial set, and shall be kept continuously wet for a period of not less then 21 days from the date of placement. Masonry work aver the foundation concrete may be started after 48 hours of its faying but the curing of concrete shall be continued for a minimum period of 21 days, ‘EDIFICE CONSULTANTS PVT LTD. 35 FORE OA‘TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION AQUALILY 11.9.2 Steam Curing ‘When steam curing is adopted it shall be ensured that it fs done in a suitable enclosure to contain the five steam in order to minimise moisture and heat losses. The initial application of the steam shall be from two to four hours after the final placement of concrete to allow the initial set of the concrete to take place. Where retarders are used, the waiting period before application of the steam shall be increased from four to six hours. The steam shall be at 100% relative humidity to prevent loss of imoistute and to provide excess moisture for proper hydration of the cement. The application of ‘steam shall not be directly on the concrete, and the ambient air temperature shall increase at a rate not exceeding 5 deg, cent. per hour until a maximum temperature of 60 deg, cent, to 70 deg. cent is reached. The maximum temperature shall be maintained until the concrete has reached the desired strength. ‘When steam curing is discontinued the ambient air temperature shall not drop at a rate exceeding 5 deg. cent per hour until a temperature of about 10 deg, cent above the temperature of the air to which the concrete will be exposed, has been reached. 11.9.0 WORKING IN EXTREME WEATHER When depositing concrete in very hot weather, precaution shall be taken so that the temperature of wet concrate does not exceed 38 deg, C, while placing. This shall be achieved by stacking aggregate under sheds and keeping it moist using cold water or crushed or flaked ice if specified and permitted by the Engineer, reducing the time between mixing and placing to the minimum, cooling formwork by sprinking water on the exterior, starting curing before the concrete dries out and restricting concreting, as far as possible, to mornings and evenings. During hot weather and rains the concrete shall be covered with tarpaulin and transported and placed in the forms and consolidated to final state in as short a time as possible, Commencement of concrete pours shall be avoided during heavy rains, storms and high winds, 11,10.0 FINISHING 11.10.1 General Immediately after the removal of forms, all exposed bars or bolts passing through the reinforced cement concrete member and used for shuttering or any other purpose shall be cut inside the reinforced cement concrete member to a depth of at least 25 mm below the surface of the concrete and the resulting holes be closed by cement mortar. All fins caused by form joints shall be broken. All cavities produced by the removal of form ties, all holes and depressions, honeycomb spots, broken edges or comers and ail other defects shall be thoroughly cleaned, saturated with water and carefully pointed and rendered true with mortar of cement and fine ‘aggregate mixed in the proportions used in the grade of concrete that is being finished and of as ry a consistency as is possible to use, Considerable pressure shall be applied in filing and pointing to ensure thorough filing in all voids. Surfaces which have been filed/ pointed shall be kept moist for period of twenty-four hours, Any repair and rectification of defective work Is to be tndertaken and carried out as directed by the Architect/PMC and the cost is to be borne by the contractor. JF rock pockets/ honeycornbs, in the opinion of the Architectl/PMC, are of such an extent or character as to affect the strength of the structure materially or to endanger the life of the steel reinforcement, he may dedare the concrete defective and require the removal and replacement of the affected portion of the structure. ‘All construction and expansion joints in the completed work shall be left carefully tooled and free from any mortar and concrete. Expansion joint filler shall be left exposed for Its full length with clean and true edges. 11,10.2 Classes of Finishing 36 FIYPEPOATECHNICAL SPECIFICATION AQUALILY ‘The surface finish for formed and unformed surfaces are classified and defined as below. Surface irregularities permitted for the various classes of finishes are termed either “abrupt” or “gradual’. Fins or offsets caused by displaced or misplaced from sheeting, lining or form sections, by loose knots in form timber or by otherwise defective form timber are considered abrupt irregularities, All other cases are described as gradual irregularities, Gradual irregularities will be measured with a template consisting of a straight edge for plane surfaces or its equivalent for curved surfaces. The length of template for testing gradual Irregularities on formed surfaces shall be 1.5 m In length, the permissible gradual irregularities being measured ‘over this length of the template, ‘Special surfaces, finishes and treatments falling outside the dlasses described here but defined elsewhere by the Architect/PMC shall also form part of these specications, Finish Fi, F2 and F3 shall describe formed surfaces. Finish U1, U2 and U3 shall describe unformed surfaces. Glass F1_ Finish This class of finish shall apply to all formed surfaces for which class F2 or F3 is not specified. It shall generally be formed by sawn timber formwork so constructed that there shall bbe no loss of material from the concrete during placement and compaction, After hardening, the concrete shail be in the position required and shail have the shape and dimensions called for in the drawings. Any abrupt irregularities shall not exceed 8 mm and gradual Irregularities shall not exceed 16mm, All fins and drifts in excess of the above limits shall be made good by chipping and grinding if required by the Architect/PMC, Small blemishes caused by entrapped air or water may be expected but the surface shall be free from voids, honeycombing or other large blemishes. Class F1 finish shall be generally specified for all surfaces buried in ground or not visible during service or for surfaces that are to receive further rendering treatment such as plastering etc. Unless otherwise specified in the Bill of Quantities the surface finish shall be Understood to be Class F1. Class £2 Finish Class F2 finish shall be obtained by the use of properly designed forms, either close Jointed wrought timber forms or with forms having plywood or steel sheet fining. The abrupt irregularities shall not exceed 5 mm and gradual irregularities shall be less than 8mm. Small blemishes caused by entrapped air or water may be permitted but the surface shall be generally free from honeycombing, voids and large blemishes. Surface Irregularities in excess of those stipulated shall be removed by chipping or rubbing with abrasive stone, lass F3 finish shall be formed by specially designed close jointed rigid forms having lining of high quality form plywood. The surface lrregularties shall be limited to nil for abrupt irregularities and 3 mm for gradual irregularities. Ciass F3 Irregularities including fins and projections by finish may bé obtalned from class F2 finish by carefully removing all abrupt rubbing/ grinding. If steel forms are used they shall be subjected to Architect/PMC’ s approval. 1h addition, finish F3 shall include filing air holes with mortar and treatment of the entire surface with sack rubbed finish, It shall also include clean up of loose and adhering debris. For a ‘sack rubbed finish, the surface shall be prepared within two days after of removal of the forms, The surface shall be wetted and allowed to dry slightly before mortar is applied by sack rubbing, “The mortar used shall consist of one part cement to one and one half parts by volume of fine (IS ‘No, 16 mesh) sand. Only sufficient mixing water to give the mortar a workable consistency shall be used. The mortar shall then be rubbed over the surface with a fine burlap or linen cloth so as to fil the surface voids. The mortar in the voids shall be allowed to stiffen and solidify after which the whole surface shall be wiped clean with clean burlap such that all air holes etc, are filed and the entire surface presents a uniform appearance without air holes, irregularities etc, Class Us Finish This is the screeded finish used on surfaces over which other finishes such as wearing coats etc, are to be placed. It is also the first step in the formation of U2 and U3 finishes. The finishing operation consists of leveling and screeding the concrete to produce an even and uniform surface so that the gradual irregularities are not greater than 6 mm. Surplus concrete should be removed immediately after consolidation by striking it off with a sawing motion of @ straight edge or template across a wooden or metal strip that has been set as guide, Unless the ‘EDIFICE CONSULTANTS PUT LTD 7 P/PEO3A LEED ATECHNICAL SPECIFICATION AQUALILY ‘drawings specify a horizontal surface or show the slope required, the tops of narrow surfaces, such as stair treads, walls, curbs and parapets shall be sloped approximately 10 mm per 300 mm width, Surfaces to be covered with concrete topping, terrazzo, and similar surfaces shall be smooth and leveled to produce even surfaces, Irregularities not exceeding 6 mm. ‘Class U2_Finish ‘This Is a floated finish used on all outdoor unformed surfaces not prominently exposed to view such as tops of piers etc. The floating may be done by hand or power driven equipment. Tt should not however be started until some stiffening has taken place in the surface concrete and the moisture film or “shine” has disappeared. The floating should work the concrete no more than is necessary to produce a surface that is free from screed marks. All joints and edges should be finished with edging toots. It shall include the repair of gradual irregularities exceeding 6 mm, An abrupt irregularities shall also be repaired unless a roughened texture is specified. Gass U3 Finish This [s a trowelled finish used on all surfaces exposed to view at close quarters such as tops of parapets and kerbs etc. Steel trowelling should not be started after the moisture film and “shine” have completely disappeared from the floated surface and the concrete has hardened enough to prevent an excess of fine material and water from being worked to the surface. Excessive trowelling, especially if started too soon, tends to produce crazing and lack of durability, Too long a delay will result in a surface too hard for proper finishing, Steel trowelling should be performed with a firm pressure that will flatten and smooth the sandy surface left by ficating, Trowelling should produce a dense, uniform surface free of blemishes, ripples and trowel marks. Tt shall include the repair of all abrupt irregularities and the repair of gradual irregularities éxceeding 6 mm. It shall aiso include finishing the joints and the edges of concrete with edging tools. 11.11.0 CONSTRUCTION JOINTS ‘Concreting shall be carried out continuously upte the construction joints, the position ‘and details of which shall be as shown on approved drawings or as directed by the “Architect/PMC. Such joints shail, however, be kept to the minimum.
