minutes after all the materials are in the mixer and must be completely discharge
before the mixer is recharged. Concrete which have attained initial setting before
pouring shall be discarded. No retempering shall be allowed. No hand mixing
shall be allowed except in an emergency such as mixer breakdown during
concrete operations and this shall be stopped as soon as the pouring is completed
at the construction joint designated by the Architect/Engineer.

16. Placing of concrete shall be such as to prevent segregation of aggregates and

carried continuously from point to point of extreme ends but whenever unavoidable
may be stopped as near as possible at midspan of beams and suspended slabs
and mid-column height for structural considerations. Fresh concrete shall be
transferred from the mixer as rapidly as practicable by any method that will permit
placing of concrete in the forms before initial setting occurs. In depositing fresh
concrete, the maximum free drop shall be 1.20m. At least two(2) hours shall be
allowed after concrete is placed in a column form before concrete for the floor
system supported by the column form before concrete for the floor system
supported by the column is deposited. Concrete shall be worked around the
