drawings shall be compacted up to 95% of the modified maximum dry density as per
ASTM D 1557.

D. PLAIN AND REINFORCED CONCRETE

D.1 Forms shall be constructed from sound material of sufficient strength, properly
braced, strutted and shored to ensure rigidity throughout the placing and compacting of
the concrete without visible deflection. All formworks shall be water tight to prevent grout
loss.

D.2 Concrete, concrete reinforcing steel and concrete accessories shall be furnished
and installed in accordance with ACI 301 and this specification.

D.3 Concrete shall be normal weight concrete. Concrete shall have low permeability,
high strength, and the ability to obstruct sulfate and chloride penetration into the
concrete by diffusion, absorption, or hydraulic pressure.

D.4 All concrete shall be Type I Class “A” mixture unless otherwise noted, shall use
Portland Cement and shall conform to ASTM C 150 attaining its maximum strength of at
least 28 MPA after 28 days.

Grade 60, with a specified yield strength of 414 MPa.

D.6 Reinforcement shall be accurately placed in accordance with the placement

drawings and shall be adequately secured and held in position. Tie wire ends shall be
bent in a way that they do not protrude into the concrete cover zone.

D.7 Cement mixtures shall comprise of fresh sand, graded coarse aggregates and water
shall be free from impurities, oil, salts, alkali, organic matter and other potentially
deleterious substances in accordance with AASHTO T 26.

D.8 All concrete shall be consolidated by vibration, spading, or rodding so that the
concrete is worked around the reinforcement and embedded items. This concrete shall
be worked into corners of the forms to eliminate any air and stone pockets which may
cause honeycombing, pitting, or planes of weakness
E. STRUCTURAL STEEL
