d) Proprietary type joints offered by the Contractor in lieu of the type specified shall
comply in all respects with the manufacturer’s specifications and meet the required range
of movements and rotations and be fit for the purpose of ensuring satisfactory long term
performance in the bridge. Where alternative type proprietary joints are proposed by the
Contractor, the following information shall be provided.
(i) Name and location of the proposed manufacturer.

654772333.doc
(ii) Dimensions and general details of the joint including material specifications, holding
down bolt or anchorage details and installation procedures.
(iii) Evidence of satisfactory performance under similar environmental conditions of
similar joints being produced by the manufacturer. Any acceptance of alternative types
will be at the sole discretion of the Engineer. Such joints shall be installed in accordance
with the manufacturer’s recommendations and to the general requirements of this
Specification. No expansion joint shall be provided only for the width of the,
carriageway. It shall follow the profile including the kerb and the footway and facia, if
provided. The type of expansion joint for the latter may be made different from that used
for the carriageway expansion joint 2603. REQUIREMENTS 2603.1. The requirement
criterion will be separately applicable for the expansion joint proper and the transition
zone of attachment to the work. 2603.2. There are two types of performance requirements
for the expansion joint proper viz. from the necessity of the bridge and from the road
users e.g. man, animal and vehicle. 2603.3. Performance Requirement with Respect to
work
The expansion joint shall :
a) Withstand the imposed load including the impact load from live load and other
sources.
b) Allow expansion and contraction movement due to temperature, creep, shrinkage, pre-
stressing and structural deformations.
c) Permit relative rotation in elevation and plan due to the causes as noted above,
d) Be waterproof. Expansion joint seals play a critical role in preventing the degradation
of the structural components of the pavement system. Without effective joint seals, water
passes through the pavement and works harmfully to corrode steel components find cause
deterioration of the concrete. Ram water gathers various corroding additives from the
atmosphere and also from the carriageway.
e) Ensure sealing. In case joints are not sealed, apart from loss of waterproofing, grit and
other forms of road debris may enter the joint Debris, when impacted with the joint can

654772333.doc
seriously restrict the movement instead of facilitating the same. In the case of proprietary
joints being accepted for adoption, the sealing shall be as specified by them,
f) Ensure long life by being resistant to corrosion,
g) Be easy to install,
h) Be easy to maintain. Replaceability of expansion joint shall be one of the basic criteria
for selection of type of expansion .joint,
i) Be resistant to the materials likely to collect/spill over the deck in its normal service.
2603.4. Performance Requirement with Respect to User
The expansion joint shall :
a) Provide smooth continuity at the top of the pavement for riding comfort,
b) Be of skid resistant surface,
c) Be non-damaging to the rubber tyre,
d) Make minimum noise during vehicular crossing,
e) Ensure that animal paws and hooves should not get entangled where bridges are used
by animal drawn traffic,
f) Permit passing of bullock cart steel tyre for bridges where bullock carts ply.

602.10.1. The trial length shall be constructed at least one month in advance of the
proposed start of concrete paving work. At least one month prior to the construction of

654772333.doc
the trial length, the Contractor shall submit for the Engineer’s approval a detailed method
statement giving description of the proposed materials, plant, equipment and construction
methods. All the major equipments like paving train, batching plant, tippers etc.,
proposed in the construction are to be approved by the Engineer before their
procurement. No trials of new materials, plant, equipment or construction methods, nor
any development Of them shall permitted either during the construction of trial length or
in any subsequent paving work, unless they form part of further, approved trials. These
trial lengths shall be constructed away from the carriage-but with at least a subbase layer
below it.
602.10.2. The Contractor shall demonstrate the materials, plant, equipment and methods
of construction that are proposed for concrete paving, by first constructing a trial length
of slab, at least 60 m but not more than 300 m long for mechanised construction and at
least 30 m long for hand guided methods. If the first trial is unsatisfactory, the Contractor
shall have to demonstrate his capability to satisfactorily construct the pavement in
subsequent trials.
602.10.3. The trial length shall be constructed in two parts over a period comprising at
least part of two separate working days, with a minimum of 30 m constructed each day
for mechanised construction and minimum of 15 m on each day for hand guided
construction. The trial length shall be constructed at a similar rate (speed, around lm/hr)
to that which is proposed for the main work.
602.10.4. Transverse joints and longitudinal joints of each type that are proposed for
dowel-jointed unreinforced concrete slabs in the main work shall be constructed and
assessed in the trial length. If in the trial length the construction of expansion joint and
longitudinal joint is not remonstrated, the first 2 expansion joints and at least the first
150m of longitudinal construction joint for mechanised paving in the main work, shall be
considered as the trial length for these joints.
602.10.5. The trial length shall comply with the Specification in all respects, with the
following additions and exceptions:602.10.5.1. Surface levels and regularity

654772333.doc
(i) In checking for compliance with Clause 903.5 the levels shall he taken at intervals at
the locations specified in this Clause along any line or lines parallel to the longitudinal
centre line of the trial length.
(ii) The maximum number of permitted irregularities of pavement surface shall comply
with the requirements of Clause 902.4. Shorter trial lengths shall be assessed prorata
based on values for a 300 m length.
602.10.5.2. Joints
(iii) Alignment of dowel bars shall be inspected as described in Clause 602.10.7 in any
two consecutive transverse joints. If the position or alignment of the dowel bars at one of
these joints does not comply with Clause 602.6.5, if that joint remains the only one that
does not comply after the next 3 consecutive joints of the same type have been inspected,
then the method of placing dowels shall be deemed to be satisfactory. In order to check
sufficient joints for dowel bar alignment without extending the trial length unduly, the
Contractor may, by agreement with the Engineer, construct joints at more frequent joint
intervals than the normal spacing required in the Contract.
(iv) If there are deficiencies in the first expansion joint that is constructed as a trial, the
next expansion joint shall be a trial joint Should this also be deficient, further trial
expansion joints shall be made as part of the trial length which shall not form pan of the
permanent works, unless agreed by the Engineer.
602.10.5.3. Density
(v) Density shall be assessed as described in Clause drilled from each pan of the trial
length.
602.10.5.4. Position of tie bars
(vi) Compliance with Clause 602.6.6 for the position and alignment of tie bars shall be
checked by drilling additional cores from the slab unless they can be determined from
cores taken for density.
602.10.6. Approval and acceptance
602.10.6.1 Approval of the materials, plant, equipment and construction methods shall be
given when a trial length complies with the Specification. The Contractor shall not

654772333.doc
proceed with normal working until the trial length has been approved and any earlier
defective trial lengths have been removed, unless that can be remedied to the satisfaction
of the Engineer. If the Engineer does not notify the Contractor of any deficiencies in any
trial length within 10 days after the completion of that trial length, the Contractor may
assume that the trial length, and the materials, plant, equipment and construction methods
adopted are acceptable.
602.10.6.2. When approval has been given, the materials, plant, equipment and
construction methods shall not thereafter be changed, except for normal adjustments and
maintenance of plant, without the approval of the Engineer. Any changes in materials,
plant, equipment, and construction methods shall entitle the Engineer to require the
Contractor to lay a further trial length as described in this Clause to demonstrate that the
changes will not adversely affect the permanent works.
602.10.6.3. Trial lengths which do not comply with the Specification, with the exception
of areas which are deficient only in surface texture and which can be remedied in
accordance with Clause 602.9.8.6 shall be removed immediately upon notification of
deficiencies by the Engineer and the Contractor shall construct a further trial length.
602.10.7. Inspection of dowel bars
602.10.7.1. Compliance with Clause 602.6.5. for the position and alignment of dowel
bars at construction and expansion joints shall be checked by measurements relative to
the side forms or guide wires.
602.10.7.2 When the slab has been constructed, the position and alignment of dowel bars
and any filler board shall be measured after carefully exposing them in the plastic
concrete across the whole width of the slab. When the joint is an expansion joint, the top
of the filler board shall first be exposed sufficiently in the plastic concrete to permit
measurement of any lateral or vertical displacement of the board. During the course of
normal working, these measurements shall be carried out the pavement section at the end
of day’s work by extending slab length 2m. After sawing the transverse joint groove, the
extended 2 m slab shall be removed carefully soon after concrete has set to expose over
half the length. These dowels can be tested for tolerances. 602.10.7.3. If the position and

654772333.doc
alignment of the bars in a single cement in the slab is unsatisfactory then the next two
joints shall be respected. If only one joint of the three is defective, the rate of checking
shall be increased to one joint per day until the Engineer is satisfied that compliance is
being achieved. In the event of non-compliance in two more successive joints, the
Contractor shall revert to the construction fresh trial lengths and make any necessary
alteration to concrete mix, paving plant or methods until the dowel bar position and
alignment satisfactory.
602.10.7.4. After the dowel bars have been examined, the remainder the concrete shall be
removed over a width of 500 mm on each side the line of the joint and reinstated to the
satisfaction of the Engineer, the dowels shall be inserted on both sides of the 1 m wide
slab by drilling holes and grouting with epoxy mortar. Plastic sheath as per Clause
602.5.5. shall be provided on dowels on one of the joints. The joint above shall be
widened and sealed as per Clause 602.11.
602.11. Preparation and Sealing of Joint Grooves
602.11.1. General All transverse joints in surface slabs shall be sealed using sealants
described in Clause 602.2.8. Joints shall not be sealed before -14 days after construction.
602.11.2 Preparation of joint grooves for sealing
602.11.2.1. Joint grooves usually are not constructed to provide the minimum width
specified in the drawings when saw cut joints are adopted. They shall be widened
subsequently by sawing before sealing, depth/width gauges shall be used to control the
dimension of the groove.
602.11.2.2. If rough arises develop when grooves are made, they shall be ground to
provide a chamfer approximately 5 mm wide. If the groove at an angle upto 10 degree
from the perpendicular to the surface, the overhanging edge of the sealing groove shall be
sawn or ground perpendicular. If spalling occurs or the angle of the former is greater than
10 degrees, the joint sealing groove shall be sawn wider and perpendicular to the surface
to encompass the defects upto a maximum width, including any chamfer, of 35 mm for
transverse joints and 20 mm for longitudinal joints. If the spalling cannot be so

654772333.doc
eliminated then the arrases shall be repaired by an approved thin bonded arise repair
using cementitious materials.
602.11.2.3. All grooves shall be cleaned of any dirt or loose material by air blasting with
filtered, oil-free compressed air. If need-arises the Engineer may instruct cleaning by
pressurised water jets. Depending upon the requirement of the sealant manufacturer, the
sides of the grooves may have to be sand blasted to increase the bondage between sealant
and concrete.
602.11.2.4. The groove shall be cleaned and dried at the Lime of priming and sealing.
602.11.2.5. Before sealing the temporary seal provided for blocking the ingress of dirt,
soil etc., shall be removed. A highly compressible heat resistant paper-backed debonding
strip as per drawing shall be inserted in the groove to serve the purpose of breaking the
bond between sealant and the bottom of the groove and to plug the joint groove so that
the sealant may not leak through the cracks. The width of debonding strip shall be more
than the joint groove width so that it is held tightly in the groove. In the case of
longitudinal joints, heat resistant tapes may be inserted to block the leakage through
bottom of the joint.
602.11.3. Sealing with sealants
602.11.3.1. When sealants are applied, an appropriate primer shall also be used if
recommended by the manufacturer and it shall be applied in accordance with their
recommendation. The sealant shall be applied within the minimum and maximum drying
times of the primer recommended by the manufacturer. Priming and sealing with applied
sealants shall not be carried out when the naturally occurring temperature in the joint
groove to be sealed is below 7° C.
602.11.3.2 If hot applied sealant is used it shall be heated and applied from a
thermostatically controlled, indirectly heated preferably with oil jacketed melter and
pourer having recirculating pump and extruder. For large road projects, sealant shall be
applied with extruder having flexible hose and nozzle. The sealant shall not be heated to a
temperature higher than the safe heating temperature and not for a period longer than the
safe heating period, as specified by the manufacturer. The dispenser shall be cleaned out

654772333.doc
at the end of each day in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations and
reheated material shall not be used.
602.11.3.3. Cold applied sealants with chemical formulation like polysulphide may be
used. These shall be mixed and applied within the time limit specified by the
manufacturer. If primers are recommended they shall be applied neatly with an
appropriate brush. The Movement Accommodation Factor (MAP) shall be more than 10
per cent.
602.11.3.4. The sealants applied at contraction phase of the slabs would result in bulging
of the sealant over and above the slab. Therefore, the Contractor in consultation with the
Engineer, shall establish the right temperature and time for applying the sealant.
Thermometer shall be hung on a pole in the site for facilitating control during the sealing
operation.
602.11.3.5. Sealant shall be applied, slightly to a lower level than the slab with a
tolerance of 5 ± 2 mm.
602.11.3.6. During sealing operation, it shall be seen that no air bubbles are introduced in
the sealant either by vapours or by the scaling process.
602.11.4. Testing of applied sealants: Manufacturer’s certificate shall be produced by the
Contractor for establishing that the sealant is not more than six months old and stating
that the sealant complies with the relevant standard as in Clause 602.2.8. The samples
shall meet the requirement of AASHTO M 282 for hot applied sealant or BS 5212: (Pan
2) for cold applied sealant.
602.12. Measurement of Texture Depth - Sand Patch Method
602.12.1. The following apparatus shall be used:
(i) A cylindrical container of 25 ml internal capacity
(ii) A flat wooden disc 64 mm diameter with a hard rubber disc, 1.5mm thick, stuck to
one face, the reverse face being provided with a handle
(iii) Dry natural sand with a rounded panicle shape passing a 300 micron IS sieve and
retained on a 150 micron IS sieve.

654772333.doc
602.12.2. Method: The surface to be measured shall be dried, any extraneous mortar and
loose material removed and the surface swept clean using a wire brush both at right
angles and parallel to the carriageway. The cylindrical container shall be filled with the
sand, tapping the base 3 times on the surface to ensure compaction, and striking off the
sand level with the top of the cylinder. The sand shall be poured into a heap on the
surface to be treated. The sand shall be spread over the surface, working the disc with its
face kept flat in a circular motion so that the sand is spread into a circular patch with the
surface depressions filled with sand to the level of peaks.
602.12.3. The diameter of the patch shall be measured to the nearest 5 mm. The texture
depth of concrete surface shall be calculated from 31000/(DxD) mm where D is the
diameter of the patch in mm. 2.0 Poker Vibration: As a first step, concrete is vibrated
with an immersion vibrator in order to remove entrapped air & voids & make the
concrete homogeneous. Ensure that the area close to channels & step ends are carefully
vibrated. Do not distribute the concrete with poker vibrator as it would create a risk of
over vibration & segregation. It is recommended poker vibration along with surface
vibration.
3.0 Surface Vibration: Surface vibration should always start as soon as there is enough
concrete in front of surface vibrator. Two passes with the surface vibrator are required.
During the first pass, concrete must be distributed evenly in front of surface vibrator.
There should always be a roll of concrete of about 10mm to 20 mm in front of leading
beam along the entire length of the vibrator. When the concrete has been placed and
vibrated to a length of about 5.0 metre, the second pass carried out. The machine shall be
pulled at a speed of maximum 1.00 metre per minute and without interruption to avoid
linings on the surface. Keep the surface of the channel clean from concrete. 4.0 Vacuum
Processing: Place the filter pads as soon as the sufficient concrete surface is vibrated.
Please not that the vacuum dewatering process must start within 30 minutes from the time
of starting concrete pouring. Filter pads are placed in such a way that there is at least 100
mm fresh concrete visible around the filter pads on all four sides. Filter should be
overlapped with each other by at least 250 mm. (all filter pads are marked with black line

654772333.doc
to ensure proper over lapping.) The recesses or other obstacles within the area to be
vacuum processed must be covered & sealed using polythene sheet before the filter pads
are placed. If the obstacles are flush with the surface level or above, filter pad must be
folded. The rolled up top cover is placed centrally on the filter pads. It is rolled out in
such a way that it covers all the filter pads & exposed concrete on the sides of the filter
pads. The exposed concrete will ensure perfect sealing of the top cover from the top.
Connect central pipe at the top cover in the suction hose, which in turn is connected to the
vacuum pump. When the pump is started, vacuum will be created between the top cover
& filter pads. Excess water from the concrete will be taken in to the vacuum pump tank &
discharged. Normal suction cycle is 1 minute to 10 minute per 10 mm of concrete
thickness. Guidelines for selecting dewatering time at normal condition are shown in the
following table. Thickness mm inch Dewatering time (minute) Dewatering time largely
depends upon ambient conditions viz. temperature, humidity etc. During the course of
dewatering, the concrete surface gradually hardens & can be felt the top of the top cover.
The extent of hardness achieved by the concrete decides when to stop dewatering
process. When the vacuum processing is over, the top cover is rolled up to 100 mm so
that the sides of the filter pads are visible. This will remove the water that may have
remained on the concrete surface, filter pads & in the suction hose. After about 30
seconds, the top cover is rolled completely & vacuum pump is switched off.
Simultaneously, the suction the suction hose & the top cover pipe are disconnected. Do
not turn the pump while the ball valve is open as likely that small aggregates sucked into
the pump due to vacuum. The entire process is repeated on the next concrete panel. After
first patch in any given panel is dewatered, care should taken while placing filter pad on
the concrete surface next to the dewatered concrete. First filter pad should start from the
edges of last filter pad of the previously dewatered concrete. The remaining filter pads
then can be placed as explained above. While repeating dewatering process subsequently,
in order that top cover should get proper sealing against the side already vacuum
processed, it should be rolled out at least 300 mm over the vacuum dewatered area.
Before spreading the top cover on the dewatered area, it is essential to give one pass of

654772333.doc
skin floater (with disc) along the edges of the dewatered concrete. The concrete surface
will become wet as same will come on the top surface. This will provide the necessary
sealing. Subsequently roll out top cover completely. Ensure that there are no wrinkles on
the top cover.
5.0 Floating: The first finishing operating is floating where floating disc is used. Only the
areas that cannot be reached by skim floater are floated by hand. Care should be taken
while floating near channels & from edges. The skim floater is run over the channel up to
the disc center in order to avoid unevenness at the joints. All four sides of dewatered
panel must be floated first & the remaining central area is to be floated later. Any
corrections, if required, are to be made at this stage with the concrete compound at the
time of racking of top cover use any cement paste, mixture of cement & sand or fresh
concrete for patch work. Such material will peel off or will leave black patches after
the concrete floor is brought to use. Normally two passes with disc the skim floater
operating at higher speed are sufficient for the skid free surface. This pass of skim floater
should be given perpendicular to the previous pass. The floating operation brings up
certain amount of water to the surface; this moisture helps in carrying out finishing
operations. Intermixing of topping first pass can be started when topping has darkened
because of the moisture from the under lying concrete. The topping materials are worked
out with care into concrete surface with a skim floater equipped with a disc. The surface
flatness shall be checked with staright edges and work the topping material into concrete
surface the first time.
6.0 Trowelling: Trowelling is carried out with the same machine running on trowelling
blades. Normally, two pass of Trowelling blades are required for smooth surface finish.
However, the number of passes can be decided depending upon the surface finish
required. The first Trowelling operation can start after about 30 minutes after the final
floating operation & surface is sufficiently dry. This pass is to be made using low speed
& minimum blade angle. Also use the lower speed when trowelling near the channels,
from edges, obstacles etc. Blade angle & the speed can be increased for the subsequent
passes to achieve surface finish. The first trowelling is carried out as normal power-

654772333.doc
trowelling. At the time of final power trowelling, surplus concrete must be scraped off
from the rails and stop ends. There must not be any damage the rails when the floor is
finished.
602.13. Opening to Traffic No vehicular traffic shall be allowed to run on the finished
surface of a concrete pavement within a period of 28 days of its construction and until the
joints are permanently sealed. The road may be opened to regular traffic after completion
of the curing period of 28 days and after sealing of joints is completed including the
construction of shoulder, with the written permission of the Engineer.
602.14. Tolerances for Surface Regularity, Level, Thickness and Strength The tolerances
for surface regularity, level, thickness and strength /shall conform to the requirements
given in Clause 903.5. Control of quality of materials and works shall be exercised by the
Engineer in –accordance with Section 900
602.15 Measurements for Payment
602.15.1. Cement Concrete pavement shall be measured as a finished work in cubic
metres with specified thickness. The volume to be paid for will be calculated on the basis
of thickness and plans shown on project drawings and adjusted for the deficiency in
thickness. No additional payment shall be made for extra thickness of the slab. The full
payment will be made to this item after 28 days strength of the concrete is found to be
satisfactory. The unit for measurement for concrete pavement shall be the cubic of
oncrete placed, based on the net plan areas for the specified thickness hown on the
Drawings or directed by the Engineer. The rate shall include ll provisions of this
Specification and shall include the vision of all aterials including polythene film,
concrete, stock piling, transport, placing, ompacting, finishing, curing together with all
formwork, and including esting and submission of test certificates and No deduction shall
be made in easurement for openings provided that the area of each is less than 0.5 q. m.
The unit rate as entered in the Bill of Quantities shall also include he full costs of
contraction, expansion, construction, and longitudinal joints.It shall also include joint
filler, keys, caulking rod, debonding strip, sealant primer, joint sealant, dowel bar and tie
rod.

654772333.doc
602.15.2 Pavement thickness All precautions and care shall be taken to construct
pavement having uniform thickness as called for on the plans. Thickness of the cement
concrete pavement shall be calculated on the basis of level data of the cement concrete
pavement and the underlying subbase taken on a grid of 5 m x 3.5 m or 6.25 m x 3.5 m,
the former measurement being in longitudinal direction. A day’s work is considered as a
‘lot’ for calculating the average thickness of the slab. In calculating the average thickness,
individual measurements which are in excess of the specified thickness by more than 10
mm shall be considered as the specified thickness plus 10 mm. Individual areas deficient
by more than 25 mm shall be verified by the Engineer by ordering core cutting and if in
his opinion the deficient areas warrant removal, they shall be removed and replaced with
concrete of the thickness shown on the plans. When the average thickness for the lot is
deficient by the extent shown in Table 600-3, the Contract unit price will be adjusted as
per this Table.
TABLE 600-3. PAYMENT ADJUSTMENT FOR DEFICIENCY IN THICKNESS
Deficiency in the average thickness of day’s work Per cent of Contract unit price payable
Up to 5 mm 100
6-10 mm 87
11 - 15 mm 81
16 - 20 mm 75
21 - 25 mm 70
In the stretch where deficiency of average thickness is more than 25 mm, the section
whose thickness is deficient by 26 mm or more is identified with the help of cores. Such
slabs shall be removed and reconstructed at the cost of the Contractor. During such
rectification work, care shall be taken to replace full slab and to the full depth.
602.16. Rate
