CLAUSE SP-4 CURING USING LIQUID MEMBRANE FORMING COMPOUND
1.0 GENERAL
Liquid membrane forming compounds are sometimes permitted to be used by

the Engineer for curing concrete for part or whole of the total curing period as
specified in sections dealing with concrete construction. These membranes
reduce the loss of water from concrete during early hardening period and
some types of compounds also help in reducing the temperature-rise of
concrete exposed to the radiation from the sun. These specifications cover
the type and use of such compounds. However, the use of the same will
need specific permission from the Engineer, who may require a number of
tests to be carried out for establishing the conformity of the product to these
specifications and to establish that the curing compound and its method of
use does not have any unacceptable effect on the quality of concrete. The
cost of the initial acceptance testing and the quality control testing will be
borne by the Employer, if the Engineer has specified the method as a
requirement. If on the other hand, it is suggested by the Contractor as an
alternative to wet curing, the full cost of testing will be borne by him and
deemed to be included in his rates for concreting. The cost of curing in any
case will be deemed to be part of the concrete rates and will not be paid
extra.
All equipment, material etc. needed for curing and protection of concrete shall
be at hand and ready for installing before actual concrete begins. Detailed
plans, methods and procedures whereby the various phases of curing and
protection shall be firmly established, shall be settled and got approved in
writing from the Engineer-in-charge sufficiently in advance of the actual
concreting. The equipment and method proposed to be utilised shall provide
for adequate control and avoid interruption or damage to the work of other
agencies.
2.0 SUPPLY AND TESTING
2.1 ACCEPTANCE TESTING
Prior to the approval of the brand / trade name of compound and the source
of supply and manufacturer acceptance testing shall be carried out to
demonstrate the conformance of the compound to clause 2. In addition,
testing shall be performed to demonstrate that no adverse / undesirable
change in quality of concrete or concrete surface takes place as a result / by-
product of the use of the compound. These tests should be designed to
check properties such as loss of strength at 28 days of surface layer, or of
concrete cube, change in surface texture, change in adhesion to
subsequently applied layer like plaster, flooring, tiling etc. The type and
number of tests are to be as specified by the Engineer.
2.2 ROUTINE TESTING
1. The liquid membrane forming curing compound should be brought in the

manufacturer’s original clear containers. Each container shall be legibly
marked with the name of the manufacturer, the trade name of the compound,
the type of compound and class of vehicle / solids, the nominal percentage of
volatile material and batch or lot number. The lot numbers will be assigned to
the quantity of compound mixed, sampled and tested as single product. The

manufacturer shall exercise the care in filling the container so that all are
equally representative of the compound produced.
2. Curing compound to be used on site shall be got tested at least 14 days in
advance so that the result of water retention tests, reflectance test, drying etc,
are available before it can be permitted for use. All of the filled containers
represented by the approved sample shall then be sealed to prevent leakage,
substitution or dilution. The Engineer-in-charge or authorised representative
should mark each container represented by the samples with a suitable
identification mark for later identification and correlation and shall be kept in
store with double lock arrangements. One key shall be kept with the
Contractor and the other with Engineer. Random samples shall be collected
from every batch of the compound. Frequency of random sampling shall be
done as directed by the Engineer. The Contractor shall provide samples and
labour for collecting samples free of cost. Testing shall be carried out by
agency approved by the Engineer and in presence of his representative.
3.0 METHOD OF APPLICATION
The compound shall be sprayed using mechanical sprayer of approved

design to ensure uniform and continuous membrane on the concrete surface.
The coverage shall be at the rate specified by the manufacturer or at the rate
of 4 m2 per litre or as specified by the manufacturer and approved by the
Engineer. Field trials shall be conducted to decide effective coverage rate,
which depends upon surface finish. The Engineer after verification of the field
trials and based on the actual experience shall order the rate of application as
needed for achieving the proper curing. With a view to ensure thorough and
complete coverage, approximately one half of the compound for a given areas
should be applied by moving the spray gun back and forth in one direction
and the remaining half at right angles to this direction. In case the application
is still not found uniform, the Contractor shall have to apply the second coat
as an when directed by the Engineer. If a second coat is to be applied, it
should be applied approximately after an interval of one hour. The curing
compound shall generally be applied as soon as the bleeding water or shine
disappears, leaving dully appearance.
If surface treatment by roughing, hand brushing etc., is required (e.g. as in

case of road pavements) the curing compound should be applied immediately
after the same. Equipment for spraying curing compound shall be of pressure
2
tank type (5 to 7 kg/cm ) with provision of continuous agitation. A curing
jumbo with multiple travelling spray fans shall be provided for effective spray.
Spraying on concrete lining shall be done in such a way that the green
concrete is not disturbed or damaged or any foot impression left. Necessary
schemes or spraying by mechanised means shall be got approved by the
Engineer-in-charge. However, in emergency for very small areas / patches) it
can be applied with wire or bristled brush.

D Amendments/Modifications/Additions to Existing Clauses of

General Technical Specifications(MORTH)
SECTION 1500 FORMWORK

CLAUSE 1503 DESIGN OF FORMWORK
Clause 1503.2 Add the following at the end of this Clause :
"For distribution of load and load transfer to the ground through staging, an
appropriately designed base plate must be provided which shall rest on firm
sub-stratum."
CLAUSE 1505 FORMED SURFACE AND FINISH

(Substitute
clause) Substitute the following clause in place of the existing clause:
Formed & Unformed Surface Finishes
The surface finishes 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 form sheeting, lining or form sections, by loose knots in
form lumber or by otherwise defective form lumber 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
plans 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.
Finish F1, F2 and F3 shall describe formed surfaces.

Finish U1, U2 and U3 shall describe unformed surfaces.
Class 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/timber frame
or steel frame mounted with plywood or steel sheet. It shall be so constructed
that there shall be no loss of material from the concrete during placement and
compaction. After hardening, the concrete shall be in the required positions and
shall have the shape and dimensions called for in the drawings. Any abrupt
irregularities shall not exceed 10mm. All fins and drifts in excess of the above
limits shall be made good by chipping and grinding if required by the Engineer-
in-Charge. 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
item of Bill of Quantity the surface finish shall be understood to be Class F1.
Class F2 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
lining. The abrupt irregularities shall not exceed 5mm 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.
Class F3 Finish
Class F3 finish shall be formed by specially designed close jointed rigid forms
having lining of high quality form plywood. The surface irregularities shall be
limited to nil for abrupt irregularities and 3 mm for gradual irregularities. Class
F3 finish may be obtained from class F2 finish by carefully removing all abrupt

irregularities including fins and projections by rubbing/grinding. If steel forms are
used they shall have steel sheet backing faced with plywood.
In addition, finish F3 shall include filling 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 (I.S. 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 fill all 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
filled and the entire surface presents a uniform appearance without air holes,
irregularities etc.
Class U1 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 levelling and screeding
the concrete to produce an even and uniform surface so that the gradual
irregularities are not greater than 5 mm. Surplus concrete should be removed
immediately after consolidation by striking it off with a sawing motion of a
straight edge or template across a wooden or metal strip that has been set as
guide. Unless the 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 screeded and levelled to produce even surfaces, irregularities not
exceeding 5mm.
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. It 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 tools. It shall include the repair of gradual irregularities
exceeding 5 mm. All abrupt irregularities shall also be repaired unless a
roughened texture is specified.
Class U3 Finish
This is a trovelled finish used on all surfaces exposed to view at close quarters
such as tops of parapets and kerbs etc. Steel trovelling should not be started
until 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 trovelling,
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
trovelling should be performed with a firm pressure that will flatten and smooth
the sandy surface left by floating. Trovelling should produce a dense, uniform
surface free of blemishes, ripples and trovel marks. It shall include the repair of
all abrupt irregularities and the repair of gradual irregularities exceeding 5 mm.
It shall also include finishing the joints and the edges of concrete with edging
tools.
CLAUSE 1509 RE-USE OF FORMWORK

(Substitution)
This Clause shall read as under:
"After forms are stripped, all materials shall be examined for any damage and
damaged pieces, if any, shall be removed either as rejected or for rectification if

possible. The materials found fit to be reused shall be thoroughly cleaned. Holes
bored through sheathing for form ties shall be plugged by driving in common corks
or foamed plastics. Patching plaster may also be used to fill small holes. After
cleaning and before re-fixing, each formwork shall be got approved from the
Engineer.
Form work and staging shall be so used as to ensure quality of the exposed
surface. If in the opinion of the Engineer, any particular panel/member has
become unsatisfactory for use at any stage, the same will be rejected and
removed from site.”
Clause 1514 SPECIAL ARCHITECTURAL FINISHES

(Additional
Clause) Materials
Where special architectural finishes have been specified which require special
patterns, grooves, ridges, surface finishes etc., and which are to be obtained by
casting concrete against forms, need specially designed forms and special
finishing using suitable materials. These forms can be made from materials
specified in IRC-87, relevant IS codes with special workmanship/controls. Use
of any other material is to be permitted only after specific written approval from
the Engineer.
Design and Workmanship, Removal, Protection and Reuse

The design and workmanship of these formwork has to be got approved from
the Engineer. The method of removing formwork without damaging the 'form-
finished' surface, use of de-bonding agents, the protection and repair of forms
and forms-surfaces, and limit on re-use etc. are to be as per
specification/drawings in absence of which the proposed details are to be got
approved from the Engineer. All such methods will have to be suitably
improved based on the result of mock-up or field use. The final procedure and
details shall be improved till the specified/desired architectural finish is obtained.
Mock-up
After design and before incorporation in the main work, the effectiveness and
success in achieving the desired finish has to be demonstrated/confirmed by
casting the mock-up. The approved 'mock-up' surface shall be retained till the
end of the project and then the 'mock-up' should be dismantled/removed from
the work site and disposed off as directed by the Engineer.
Measurement and Payment

The measurement and payment for these items will be as specified in BOQ.
Clause1515 TOLERANCES
(Additional
Clause) All works shall be carried out true to the lines, levels and grades shown on the
drawings and within the tolerances specified below. The forms shall be so
designed and erected that the following tolerances are not exceeded unless more
stringent and specific specifications have been required by the design and specified
in the drawings/instructions. The contractor shall establish, erect and maintain in
an undisturbed condition until final completion and acceptance of the project,
control points and bench marks necessary and adequate to establish these
tolerances.
Element Limits
- For all elements, departure from established 10 mm
alignment
- Departure from established grades 10 mm
- Variation from plumb or specified batter in lines 10mm in 3 m. if exposed 20mm

and surfaces of piers, walls and abutments in 3 m. if backfilled

- Variation from level or indicated grade in slabs, 10mm in 3 m. if exposed

beams, horizontal and railing offsets 20mm in 3 m. if backfilled.
- Variation in cross sectional dimensions of -5mm, + 10mm

columns, piers, slabs, walls, beams and similar
parts
- Variation in slab thickness -5mm, + 10mm
- Footings:
Plan dimensions -15mm, + 30mm
Misplacement or eccentricity 2% of footing width in the

direction of displacement and
not exceeding 30mm.
Reduction in thickness 5% of specified thickness

unless specified to be more
stringent.
- Variations in size and locations of slab or wall 10mm

openings
- The Alignment Tolerances shall be as under:
Tolerance in direction where `d' is the

dimension of members
Member with a depth of upto200 mm ± d/40

More than 200 mm 5 mm
SECTION 1700 STRUCTURAL CONCRETE
CLAUSE 1704 PROPORTIONING OF CONCRETE

(Addition) Add the following at the end of this clause:
“In proportioning concrete, the quantity of both cement and aggregate shall be
determined by weight. Where the weight of cement is determined by accepting the
manufacturer’s weight per bag, a reasonable number of bags shall be weighed
separately to check the net weight. Where cement is weighed form bulk stock at
site and not by bag, it shall be weighed separately form the aggregates. Water
shall either be measured by volume in calibrated tanks or weighed. All measuring
equipment shall be maintained in a clean and serviceable condition. Their
accuracy shall be periodically checked.
It is most important to keep the specified water-cement ratio constant and at its
correct value. To this end, moisture content in both fine and coarse aggregates
shall be determined as frequently as possible; frequency for a given job being
determined by the Engineer according to the weather conditions. The amount of
mixing water shall then be adjusted to compensate for variations in the moisture
content. The determination of moisture content in the aggregates shall be done as
per IS: 2386 (Part III). Suitable adjustments shall also be made in the weight of
aggregates to allow for the variation in weight of aggregates due to variation in
their moisture content.”
