concreting or shuttering.
Construction joints shall be positioned as shown on the drawings and shall not
be altered. Construction joints shall be made by forming the concrete on one
side of the joint and allowing it to set for at least three days before concrete is
placed on the other side. The location of additional construction joints and
sequence of placements shall be subject to the approval of the COMPANY and
the CONTRACTOR shall make all necessary adjustments to the reinforcement
and seals to suit approved joints and the sequence of placements. The joint
surface should be roughened to remove laitance without disturbing the coarse
aggregate by pressure jetting with air and water or wire brushing. Care shall be
taken to ensure that the joint is clean prior to placing fresh concrete.
Unless otherwise shown on the drawings, expansion joints shall be made by
forming the concrete on one side of the joint and separating it from the
concrete on the other side by the use of joint filers. With the exception of dowel
bars in floor slabs, other metalwork or reinforcement shall not extend through
expansion joints.
Expansion joints shall generally be positioned at every 20m and contraction
joints shall be at every 6m. However, spacing of joints to be calculated and

be placed against compacted concrete. The vibrations transmitted to the formwork
can loosen wedges and fixings. We shall ensure to have a close watch on all
fastenings as it is necessary to avoid loosening. Similarly, wedges shall be
regularly checked and tightened.
m) Adequate and not excessive compaction of concrete through vibration shall be
observed to avoid any segregation of the poured concrete.
7.9 CONCRETE TESTING
Sampling rates of fresh concrete shall generally be based on frequency and volume
poured. Two (02) sets cylinder sample shall be taken in each batch from 38 m3

concrete volume in which 01 (one) set should be tested for 7 days and another 01
(one) set for 28 days. The test shall establish the quality of the concrete and the
probable 28-day strength.
All cylinder shall be marked and dated for identification of the section poured and the
Contractor shall submit copies of all cylinder tests performed showing the following: -
➢ Cylinder number.
➢ Date and time sampled.
➢ Location of concrete placing within the Works.
➢ Date and time of test.
➢ Crushing strength.
A comprehensive statistical check of this information shall be made on a regular basis

during concreting works.
7.10 CURING
Concrete shall be cured and protected in accordance with ACI 308R.

During the curing period only, such areas as are needed for immediate surface finish
treatment shall be uncovered. After finish treatment, such areas shall be immediately
re-covered, and the curing continued.
Sealing curing compounds shall not be used unless specifically approved by
COMPANY and to be used strictly in accordance with manufacturer’s
recommendations.
Concrete not in contact with forms may utilize any of the curing methods indicated in
ACI 301, for the preservation of moisture. However, for interior concrete slabs, ponding,
sprayed water, or wet sand shall not be permitted.
Unless otherwise specified in the Contract Documents, liquid membrane curing
compounds shall not be used on surfaces that shall receive bonded treatments, tiles,
paint or other coatings, epoxy toppings, or additional concrete.
Regular and frequent inspection shall be made of concrete being cured and tests shall
be made on the permeability of cured concrete which will establish whether or not
curing has been correctly carried out.
All water used for curing shall be of the quality specified in Section 7.8.
The exposed surfaces of the concrete shall be protected during hardening from the
effects of sunshine, drying winds, rain or running water.
All concrete shall be cured for a period of time required to obtain the full specified
strength, but not less than seven (7) consecutive days;
Curing of the concrete after the initial set shall be by one of following methods
subjected to acceptance:
- Ponding with water including protection from atmospheric contaminations
- Application of absorptive mats of fabric or hessian kept continuously wet and covered
with sealed polyethylene sheet
- Curing compounds may be used in specific approved situations as given hereunder.
