4. IS 1786 - 1966 HYSD steel.

In addition the above specifications, following conditions are required to be followed:

CONTRACTOR. OWNER.

30

a) To avoid settlement of concrete, it is necessary to complete the compaction of lithe murrum filling under the floors, prior toerection of the formwork for slabs and beams. It is preferably to complete the PCC under the floors before the formwork iserected.

b) The surface of the form work likely to come in contact with the concrete, shall be treated with soap solution, mould oil or anyother approved material so that concrete when laid, will not stick to the form work; thereby facilitating easy removal of the forms.The treatment should be carried out sufficiently before laying of the reinforcement. The forms should be watered prior to pouringof concrete. Care should be taken to prevent reinforcement coming in contact with any oily substance. If however, this doeshappen gunny bags etc., may be used.

c) The steel shall be placed exactly in accordance with the drawings and instructions and shall be properly tied, to form a rigidgrilling which will not be disturbed during the concreting operations. The splicing shall be kept to a minimum, the joints should bewell staggered and so arranged that any given section a minimum of 2/3rd of the bars should be without laps. For splicing ofbars of 20 mm dia. & above approved type of welded joints shall be used No ‘extra over’ shall be allowed for the welding. Forbars less than 16mm splicing is to be done by overlapping. Where concrete dimensions are very small, hooks, in the directionsof greater dimensions can be provided.

d) Concrete shall not be cast unless the reinforcement as laid has been checked and certified by Architects or their authorizedrepresentatives. Architects should be intimated sufficiently in advance regarding the schedule of concreting certain part of thebuilding so as to allow them adequate time for making the necessary arrangements for checking of the reinforcement, from workcentering, etc., and also for supervising the actual concreting operation.

e) Concrete shall be vibrated carefully until all the entrapped air is expelled. All members of concrete shall first be vibrated byEmerson vibrators and then, by surface vibrators followed by manual ramming.

f) Concrete mixed designs: For concrete of grade below M15, nominal mixes may be used. However, for concrete of M15 andabove the mix should be designed and concreting iterations should be of the ‘controlled type’ (M 150 is included in the mixdesigns. However, in absence of design mix for the same, a nominal proportion 1:2:4 may be used with water cement ratio of0.45.

Following minimum quantity of cement shall be used.

Concrete M 15 - 325 kg. per cum.M 20 - 350 kg. per cum.M 25 – 425kg per CumM 35 - 500 kg. per cum.M 40 - 550 kg. per cum.

The design mix, which is on weight basis, may be converted in volumetric equivalent for convenience. Use of weight batcher is alsopermissible.

The mix design will be obtained from an approved laboratory, at the cost of the Contractor.

g) Roughening of concrete surfaces should be done thoroughly, after stripping of the formwork so as to obtain proper key forplastering.

h) The Contractor should include in his rates, the charges for fixing of metallic or other types of inserts for fixing of electrical fittingand fixture, and piping or other service. These inserts shall be fixed by the Contractor as per the drawings and the instruct ions ofthe Architect. The cost of providing and fabricating inserts will be paid separately.
