for every three vibrators used for in case of breakdown. Use ready mix concrete through-out and as per approved
supplier and mixed design by the Consultant.
9. For Hot Weather Concreting – pouring of concrete shall not be allowed when the ambient air temperature exceeds

practicable. Elapsed time between batching and placing of concrete using OPC shall be 45minutes unless
approved by the consultant. The accepted elapsed time between batching and placing of concrete using
combination of GGBS and OPC is 75 minutes.
10. The expansion joints indicated in the drawings (if any) shall comply in accordance to the project specs. Section

materials to be used and exact location of construction joints prior to start the work activities.
11. Curing - Curing and protection of concrete for Ground Floor Slab shall comply with the guidelines given in ACI
305R-91 and project specs. Section 033000. Protect and cure concrete in such a manner as to prevent the
evaporation of moisture from the concrete and injury of the surface. Immediately after finishing of concrete
surfaces, curing shall commence in the form of a complete covering of polyethylene sheets. As soon as the
concrete has stiffened sufficiently after not more than 24hrs, the polyethylene sheet shall be removed and the
surface covered by absorptive mats of fabric and keeps continuously wet. Water used to keep the mats moist shall
meet the requirements of BS 3148. Any curing compound materials used for concrete curing is subject for approval
of the consultant.
