5.0 Procedure: Compressive Strength Test of Concrete Cubes (ASTM C39) and Slump Test (ASTM
C143)
Types of specimens either cubes of 15cm X 15cm X 15cm

5.1Sampling of Cubes for Test


1) Clean the mounds and apply oil
2) Fill the concrete in the molds in layers approximately 5cm thick
3) Compact each layer with not less than 35 strokes per layer using a tamping rod (steel bar 16mm
diameter and 60cm long, bullet pointed at lower end)
4) Level the top surface and smoothen it with a trowel
5.2 Curing of Cubes
The test specimens are stored in moist air for 24 hours and after this period the specimens are marked
and removed from the molds and kept submerged in clear fresh water until taken out prior to test.

5.3 Precautions for Tests


The water for curing should be tested every 7 days and the temperature of water must be at 27+-2oC.

5.4 Procedure for Cube Test


1) Remove the specimen from water after specified curing time and wipe out excess water from the
surface.
2) Take the dimension of the specimen to the nearest 0.2m
3) Clean the bearing surface of the testing machine
4) Place the specimen in the machine in such a manner that the load shall be applied to the opposite
sides of the cube cast.
5) Align the specimen centrally on the base plate of the machine.
6) Rotate the movable portion gently by hand so that it touches the top surface of the specimen.
7) Apply the load gradually without shock and continuously at the rate of 140 kg/cm2/minute till the
specimen fails
8) Record the maximum load and note any unusual features in the type of failure.
Note:
Minimum three specimens should be tested at each selected age. If strength of any specimen varies by
more than 15 per cent of average strength, results of such specimen should be rejected. Average of three
specimens gives the crushing strength of concrete. The strength requirements of concrete.

5.6 Compressive Strength of Concrete at Various Ages & Compressive Strength of Different Grades of
Concrete at 7 and 28 Days:
The strength of concrete increases with age. Table shows the strength of concrete at different ages in
comparison with the strength at 28 days after casting.

6. CONSTRUCTION DEFICIENCY IDENTIFICATION AND CONTROL

The QA/QC Manager will assess the nature and extent of any defects in the work performed or materials
installed. Any defects resulting in a compromise of worker safety will result in work stoppage until the
defect is corrected. The QA/QC Manager will notify the PM after the extent and nature of the defect has
been identified.
The QA/QC Manager will develop suggested solutions and present them to the consultants for approval.
The CQA Officer will verify whether the defect has been corrected prior to performing additional work in
the deficiency area. Corrections will be documented in the next “RFI” records, weekly summary reports,
and in Non-Conformance Reports if applicable. Non-conforming construction and the associated
corrective measure will be documented in the construction files.

7. CONTROL OF QUALITY RECORDS

The QA/QC Manager verifies QA record accuracy and maintains copies of all quality-related
documentation.
This includes, but may not be limited to:
• Daily Construction Records
• Weekly/Monthly Reports
• Inspection Checklists
• Test Reports
• Concrete Pour Logs and Sampling Logs
• Equipment and Material Data Sheets
• Laboratory Test Reports

5. SEQUENCE OF WORKS

The foregoing procedure for the Reinforced Concrete Works (Cast-in-place Concrete) will serve as a guide
or reference along the course of the work in order to achieve an acceptable quality of workmanship, and
at the same time to control materials utilization and attaining the optimum results with less time and effort:

5.1 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

Concreting works for cast-in-place concrete shall conform to the requirements set forth in the project
specifications and approved shop drawings.

a. Compressive strength of concrete for RC Footings, Columns, Beams & Slab for RETAIL BUILDING
FOUNDATION is of 30Mpa at a minimum of 28 days cylinder strength, unless otherwise specified.
b. Compressive strength of concrete blinding is of 15Mpa at a minimum of 28 days cylinder strength.
c. Relevant codes as specified in the Specifications shall likewise be observed.

5.2 SURVEY SETTING-OUT


a. Points or coordinates will be marked for the exact location of the structural elements (the cast-in-
place concrete) to be built.
b. Surfaces will be checked for levels and orientation to conform to that of details shown in approved
shop drawings.

5.3 APPROVED SHOP DRAWINGS / CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS


a. No work shall commence without approved shop drawings at hand. Shop drawings shall be
stamped and coordinated with other disciplines.
b. The Site Engineer or Surveyor shall ensure that the location of the Structural Concrete Elements is
based on the Approved Shop Drawings.

5.4 CONCRETE REINFORCEMENT (REBAR WORKS)


a. The Steel Fixer will position, arrange, support and secure reinforcement to conform to the
approved shop drawings and that of the bar bending schedule.
b. A minimum concrete cover for reinforcement of 25mm for slab, 75mm for footing, 40mm for beam
and column will be ensured.
c. Concrete spacer will be provided to keep the reinforcement in place and ensure correct concrete
cover is obtained.
d. Bar lengths, depths and bends shall be that of indicated on the approved shop drawings.
e. Wall Dowels embedded on the slab, if any, will be fixed/installed as per details shown on approved
drawings.
f. Make sure that end of tie wire should be directed inward of the concrete and not project towards
the surface to avoid bleeding after casting.
g. As per General notes, the basic tension development length or splice length is 45 x bar diameter
(LD) and minimum compression development length is 30 x bar diameter (or 300mm whatever is
more)
h. Reinforcing bars will be freed of rust scale or loose mill scale, contamination, oils, or other
deleterious materials prior to bar placing and an air compressor will be used to clean off remaining
dirt and dust immediately before concrete casting.

5.5 FORMWORK CONSTRUCTION

a. Form is constructed in such a way that the material is sufficient enough to withstand pressure of
newly placed concrete without bow or deflection. Wood form shall be of 12mm minimum
thickness.
b. Formwork is built sufficiently tight to prevent leakage of cement paste during concrete placement.
Joints will be solidly butted and provided with back-up materials as required to prevent leakage
and fins.
c. False-work and supports are erected to safely support vertical, lateral and asymmetrical loads
applied until such loads can be supported by in-place concrete structures.
d. Formwork and its supports will be fixed in accordance with the approved drawings and approved
formwork system. Walls will be marked and laid-out on the slab as per the drawings and the
formwork will be fixed accordingly.
e. The formwork will be fixed straight and true in alignment horizontally and in plumb vertically. All
formwork to be contact with concrete will be cleaned and coated with approved form release agent
to ensure easy stripping of formwork later on.

5.6 MEP WORK

For Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing conduits/embedded pipes penetrations and/or openings or
sleeves that may pass on the structural concrete, sleeve openings should be prepared in such a way
that extra bars shall be taken into consideration to offset the displaced concrete.

a. Approved materials shall be used in accordance with the drawings and specifications.
b. Sleeves or Pipe penetrations will be fixed or installed on site as per approved shop drawings and
specifications.
c. The locations of the openings shall be marked by the MEP Staff in coordination with the Surveyor
to ensure the accuracy.
d. MEP Clearance Sign-Off Sheet will be obtained from the MEP Coordinator to signal that all of the
MEP activities had been set and that Concrete Structure is ready to receive concrete pouring.

5.7 CONCRETE TESTING, PLACING, AND COMPACTION

a. Prior to concrete placing, loose rust will be removed from reinforcement and forms must be
cleaned.
b. Integral water proofing admixtures will be added on the concrete mixture for Water villa slab
topping & poo precast slab with the mix ratio as per manufacturer’s recommendation.
c. While normal mixture on cement, sand & aggregate with fresh water will be casted on Beach Suite,
FOH & BOH footing, column, beam & slab.
d. The concrete mix must be prepared ensuring that the results or values are within the range
specified in the project specification prior to pouring concrete.
e. Concrete can be poured through direct pump-discharged or by the aid or use of Bucket and Crane
or Excavator whichever is applicable. Concrete shall be ensured that placing is at or near its final
position and is not disturbed in a vertical fall into place to avoid segregation.

instructions shall be followed.
d. Shuttering formwork that will be used as stop ends for construction joint, if any, will be inspected
and subject for approval by the Engineer prior to Concrete Pouring.

5.9 ADMIXTURES

Admixtures containing calcium chloride ions or other ions producing deleterious effect shall not be
permitted. Only admixtures approved by the Engineer shall be used.

5.10 FORMWORK REMOVAL

The following ACI recommendations shall be followed:

5.10.1 The removal of forms, supports, and protective enclosures, and the discontinuance of heating and
curing should follow the requirements of the contract documents. When standard beam or cylinder tests
are used to determine stripping times, test specimens should be cured under conditions that are not more
favorable than the most unfavorable conditions for the concrete the test specimens represent. The curing
records can serve as the basis on which the engineer/architect will determine the review or approval of
form stripping.

5.10.2 Because the minimum stripping time is a function of concrete strength, the preferred method of
determining stripping time is using tests of job-cured cylinders or concrete in place. When the contract
documents do not specify the minimum strength required of concrete at the time of stripping, however,
the following elapsed times can be used. The times shown represent a cumulative number of days, or
hours, not necessarily consecutive, during which the temperature of the air surrounding the concrete is
above 50 °F (10 °C). If high early-strength concrete is used, these periods can be reduced as approved by
the engineer/architect. Conversely, if ambient temperatures remain below 50 °F (10 °C), or if retarding
agents are used, then these periods should be increased at the discretion of the engineer/architect. Shorter
stripping times listed for live load to dead load ratios greater than 1.0 are the result of more reserve
strength being available for dead load in absence of live load at time of stripping.

For Block Masonry Surface


 The surface should be rough & clean.
 Fix in position button marks at spacing at 1.5m horizontal & vertical on the entire surface to be
plastered. Check thoroughly all button marks for the thickness whether as per specification. If the
thickness is more, do carry out the makeup coat well in advance and scratch the surface rough to
receive plaster. Similarly when thickness is less, do carry out chipping where required, so that
minimum thickness of plaster is meet in all area.
 Fix in position the PVC mesh on all block to column/beam/slab concrete joints with plaster mortar
to avoid crack on the plastered wall in the future.
 Apply forcefully spatter dash/dash coat (1st coat) on concrete and concrete masonry surfaces
indicated for direct plaster application. Dash coat is to cover full surface to be plastered and is to
provide rough surface of sharp protrusions ranging 3.0mm and 5.0mm. Dash-Coat Mix: 2 volume
parts Portland cement to 3 volume parts fine sand, 1 part bonding agent to 3 part clean water
mixed to a mushy-paste consistency shall be left un-troweled, undisturbed and moist cured for at
least 24 hours after application and before plastering.

5.3 Mortar Preparation:

All plaster shall be prepared in a mechanical mixer mix at ration of 1:3 (1 part cement and 3 part
sand) using sufficient water to produce a workable consistency. Mix the mortar or plaster by first
mixing with water (30%) and add plasticizer as per manufacturer’s recommended dosage (if
required as per contract). After all the materials have been added including the remaining mixing
water, the plaster should be mixed for a further few minutes until uniformly paste like is attained .
Plaster not used within 1.5h from start of mixing shall be discarded.

5.4 Plastering Works:

 Wet the surface to receive plaster one hour before, so that while starting the plastering the
surface will be skin dry.
 The second coat shall be applied with sufficient material and pressure to ensure tight contact
with dash coat.
 The surface of the second coat shall be brought to a true, even plane with a rod or straightedge,
filling surface defects in place with plaster
 Applied plaster shall be floated as smooth as possible and then steel-troweled. Steel troweling
shall be delayed as long as possible and used only to eliminate the uneven points and to force
sand particles into the plaster surface.
 Each plaster coat shall be applied to an entire wall without interruption to avoid cold joints and
abrupt changes in the uniform appearance of succeeding coats
 Make sure that internal angles and corners are square.
 Plaster should not deviate more than plus or minus 3mm in 3m from a true plane in finished
plaster surfaces, as measured by a 3-m straight edge placed in any location on surface.

5.1 EXCAVATION WORKS

The foregoing procedure for the Excavation Works will serve as a guide by the Site Engineer together with
the Surveyor along the course of their work in order to achieve an acceptable quality of workmanship and
attaining the optimum results with less time and effort:

5.1.1 General

The Excavation Works shall be done by the use of the Excavator (Backhoe), Grader (if required) and Dump
Truck for soil disposal. Caution shall be observed excavating near foundation or existing foundation to
observe Stability of Excavations.

Excavated Soil Materials, if found satisfactory for backfill, shall be preserved for later use after being
approved by the Engineer.

5.1.2 Survey Layout

The Surveyor in coordination with the Site Engineer shall stake out the limits and extent of the excavation
and constantly check the depth of excavation and inform the excavator when and where to stop digging.
He shall make sure also that working level is established so as to avoid over cutting.
The Site Engineer will coordinate with the planning department the potential location of utility services
that may be affected if any and this will be marked by the Surveyor.

5.1.3 Excavation and Soil Disposal Procedures (if necessary)

a) Excavation Phasing
The excavator in coordination with the site engineer shall locate and determine the sequence of
excavation phasing as well as the entrance and exit of equipment vehicle.

b) Ramp Construction
Ramp shall be constructed for equipment vehicle’s ease of access for digging, grading and soil
transfer to the Dump Truck.

c) Soil Digging and Grading


Soil shall be Dug and graded to a working level or to a depth as shown on working drawings and in
constant monitoring with the surveyor and the site engineer. Careful Excavation shall be observed
along the course of the work not to disturb/damage the underneath existing pipe utilities if any.

5.2.4 Placement and Compaction

a. Ground Surface Preparation:


Removal of vegetation, debris, unsatisfactory soil materials, obstructions, and deleterious
materials from ground surface prior to placement of fills.

b. The backfill and fill materials will be placed in layers not more than 200 mm in loose depth for
material to be compacted by heavy compaction equipment and not more than 100 mm in loose
depth for material to be compacted by hand-operated tampers or plate compactor.

c. Each layer will be moistened and water content shall be maintained within ±2% of the moisture
content. Each layer shall then be compacted to a required percentage not less than 95% percent
of maximum density.

d. Field Density Test: (Required)


After the fill or Back Fill has been fully compacted, Field Density Test shall be conducted to
determine the maximum dry density of soil. Field Density Test shall only be conducted by the
independent testing laboratory as approved by the Engineer.

e. Equipment Operation:
Heavy Equipment shall not be operated for spreading and compacting backfill closer to an existing
structure or wall at a distance less than equal to the height of the backfill above the top of footing.
The remaining area shall be compacted in layers not more than 150 mm in compacted thickness
with power driven hand tamper suitable for material being compacted.

2. Moisture Testing
Make sure that the concrete slab is already cured and is in acceptable condition to receive paint.

3. Priming
Prime with X-Prime SF or X-Prime MT100 and allow to dry before applying X-Tech EpoxySeal
FLR100. The base and hardener have to be mixed using a slow speed drill and approved mixing
paddle until homogenous. The mixed primer should then be applied to the prepared substrate
with a polyurethane squeegee and back rolled with a short hair roller (X-Calibur velvet roller or
similar). Do not over apply or allow puddles of primer to form. If the primer is absorbed into the
surface easily, it will be necessary to apply a second coat once the initial coat is tack-free. Allow
the primer to become tack-free before application of X-Tech EpoxySeal FLR100. Apply X-Tech
EpoxySeal FLR100 within the recoat window.

4. Mixing
Add the hardener to the base and mix using a slow speed drill with an X-Shield Coating Mixer.
Paddle for 3 minutes until both components have fully dispersed and are uniform in color. Be
sure to rotate the mixer throughout the drum. Mix only full packs.

5. Application
Apply in two coats of 150 to 200 microns per coat (6 to8mils) wet film thickness using short hair
roller. Recoat after 6 to 24 hours at 25C. Clean equipment using X-Shield Solvent S.
