be left projecting or near the surface. The sheathing shall be grouted with cement mortar of the
same strength as that of the structure.
106.8. Where centering trusses or launching trusses are adopted for casting of superstructure, the
joints of the centering trusses, whether welded, riveted or bolted should be thoroughly checked
periodically. Also, various members of the centering trusses should be periodically examined for
proper alignment and unintended deformation before proceeding with the concreting. They shall
also be periodically checked for any deterioration in quality due to steel corrosion.

provide a smooth, plane surface. Where timber is used it shall be well seasoned, free from loose
knots projecting nails, splits or other defects that may mar the surface of concrete.
106.11. Forms shall be made sufficiently rigid by the use of ties and bracings to prevent any
displacement or sagging between supports. They shall be strong enough to withstand all pressure,
ramming and vibration during and after placing the concrete. Screw jacks or hard wood wedges
where required shall be provided to make up any settlement in the form work either before or
during the placing of concrete.
106.12. The form work shall take due account of the calculated amount of positive or negative
camber so as to ensure the correct final shape of the structures, having regard to the deformation
of false work, scaffolding or propping and the instantaneous or deferred deformation due to
various causes affecting prestressed structures.
106.13. Suitable camber shall be provided to horizontal members of structure, especially in long
spans to counteract the effects of deflection. The form work shall be so fixed as to provide for
such camber.
106.14. The form work shall be coated with an approved release agent that will effectively prevent
sticking and will not stain the concrete surface. Lubricating (machine oils) shall be prohibited for
use as coating.
(ii) Where necessary, formwork shall be so arranged that the soffit form, properly supported
on props only can be retained in position for such period as may be required by maturing
conditions.

same type and make of release agent shall be used throughout on similar formwork
materials and different types should not be mixed.
(iii) The form surfaces shall be evenly and thinly coated with release agent. The vertical surface
shall be treated before horizontal surface and any excess wiped out.
(iv) The release agent shall not come in contact with reinforcement or the hardened concrete.
All forms shall be thoroughly cleaned immediately before concreting.
The Contractor shall give the Engineer due notice before placing any concrete in the forms to
permit him to inspect and approve the formworks but such inspection shall not relieve the
contractor of his .responsibility for safety of formwork, men, machinery, materials and finish or
tolerances of concrete.
All bent steel props shall be straightened before re-use. The maximum deviation from straightness
is 1/600 of the length. The maximum permissible axial loads in used props shall be suitably
reduced depending upon their condition. The condition of the timber components, plywood and
steel shuttering plates shall be examined closely for distortion and defects before re-use.
For slipform the rate of slipping the form work shall be designed for each individual case taking
into account various parameters including the grade of concrete, concrete strength, concrete
temperature, ambient temperature, concrete admixtures, etc. In the case of segmental
In order to verify the time and sequence of striking/removal of specialised formwork, routine field
tests for the consistency of concrete and strength development are mandatory and shall be
carried out before adoption.
For specialised form work, the form lining material may be either plywood or steel sheet of
appropriate thickness. Plywood is preferred where superior quality of surface is desired whereas
steel sheeting is nominally used where large number of repetitions are involved.
114.2 GENERAL
Steel for reinforcement shall meet with the requirements of Section 1000.
Reinforcements may be either mild steel / medium tensile steel or high strength deformed bars.
They may be uncoated or coated with epoxy or with approved protective coatings.

for the concrete mix.
125 EQUIPMENT
Unless specified otherwise, equipment for production, transportation and compaction of concrete
shall be as under:
i) For overall bridge length of less than 200 metres - batch type concrete mixer diesel or
electric operated, with a minimum size of 200 litres, automatic water measuring system
and integral weighed (hydraulic/pneumatic type)
ii) For overall bridge length of 200 metres or more - concrete batching and mixing plant fully
automatic with minimum capacity of 15 cum. per hour.
All measuring devices of the equipment shall be maintained in a clean and serviceable condition.
Its accuracy shall be checked over the range in use, when set up at each site and thereafter
periodically as directed by the Engineer.
The accuracy of the measuring devices shall fall within the following limits:
Mixing shall be continued till materials are uniformly distributed and a uniform colour of the
entire mass is obtained, and each individual particle of the coarse aggregate shows complete
coating of mortar containing its proportionate amount of cement. In no case shall mixing be done
for less than 2 minutes.
Mixers which have been out of use for more than 30 minutes shall be thoroughly cleaned before
putting in a new batch. Unless otherwise agreed to by the Engineer, the first batch of concrete
from the mixer shall contain only two thirds of the normal quantity of coarse aggregate. Mixing
plant shall be thoroughly cleaned before changing from one type of cement to another.
When concrete is conveyed by chute, the plant shall be of such size and design as to ensure
practically continuous flow. Slope of the chute shall be so adjusted that the concrete flows without
the use of excessive quantity of water and without any segregation of its ingredients. The delivery
end of the chute shall be as close as possible to the point of deposit. The chute shall be thoroughly
flushed with water before and after each working period and the water used for this purpose shall
be discharged outside the formwork.
All formwork and reinforcement contained in it shall be cleaned and made free from standing
water, dust, snow or ice immediately before placing of concrete.
No concrete shall be placed in any part of the structure until the approval of the Engineer has
been obtained.
Except where otherwise agreed to by the Engineer, concrete shall be deposited in horizontal
layers to a compacted depth of not more than 450 mm when internal vibrators are used and not
exceeding 300 mm in all other cases.
Concrete when deposited shall have a temperature of not less than 5 degrees Celsius, and not
more than 40 degrees Celsius. It shall be compacted in its final position within 30 minutes of its
discharge from the mixture unless carried in properly designed agitators, operating continuously,
when this time shall be within 1 hour of the addition of cement to the mix and within 30 minutes
of its discharge from the agitator. It may be necessary to add retarding admixtures to concrete if
trials show that the periods indicated above are unacceptable. In all such matters, the Engineer's
decision shall be final.
Concrete shall be thoroughly compacted by vibration or other means during placing and worked
around the reinforcement, tendons or duct formers, embedded fixtures and into corners of the
formwork to produce a dense homogeneous void-free mass having the required surface finish.
When vibrators are used, vibration shall be done continuously during the placing of each batch of
concrete until the expulsion of air has practically ceased and in a manner that does not promote
segregation. Over vibration shall be avoided to minimise the risk of forming a weak surface layer.
When external vibrators are used, the design of formwork and disposition of vibrator shall be such
as to ensure efficient compaction and to avoid surface blemishes. Vibrations shall not be applied
through reinforcement and where vibrators of immersion type are used, contact with
reinforcement and all inserts like ducts etc., shall be avoided. The internal vibrators shall be
inserted in an orderly manner and the distance between insertions should be about one and a half
times the radius of the area visibly affected by vibration. Additional vibrators in serviceable
condition shall be kept at site so that they can be used in the event of breakdowns.
Mechanical vibrators used shall comply with IS:2502, IS:.2506, IS:2514 and IS:4656.

holes filled with cement mortar. All fins caused by form joints. all cavities produced by the removal
of form ties and all other holes and depressions, honeycomb spots, broken edges or corners, and
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 dry a consistency as is possible to use.
