and subject to the approval of the circumstances by the Engineer, the Contractor may submit a
Certificate from an independent laboratory.
Where 40mm nominal maximum size coarse aggregate is specified it shall consist of a mix of 40mm
single sized aggregate, 20mm single sized aggregate and 10mm single sized aggregate.
During the performance of the Contract, the Contractor shall supply samples of aggregates when
required by the Engineer for testing (the samples shall be taken in accordance with BS 812). Testing of
all specified requirements will be performed by the Contractor at intervals as directed by the Engineer
for each source at each grading approved by the Engineer, unless otherwise instructed by the Engineer.
Any rejected aggregate shall be promptly removed from Site.
The Contractor shall demonstrate that no part of the aggregates contain any mineral known to have a
potential to cause alkali silica, alkali silicate, alkali carbonate or any other damaging chemical reaction
between alkalis and aggregates. Testing of aggregates shall be accordance with ASTM C1260-94 and
ASTM C586 as appropriate.
Should the results of the tests prove unsatisfactory the Contractor shall make provision for the
employment of a low alkali content cement to the approval of the Engineer.
4.4 Water
The water used for making and curing concrete, grout and mortar shall be from a source approved by
the Engineer and at the time of use shall be free from polluting matter in any quantity which.

If air entertainment is approved the air content shall be 4% for concrete with a maximum aggregate size
of 40mm and 5% for concrete with maximum aggregate size of 20mm, with an allowable tolerance of
1.5%.
The method of determining the air content shall be in accordance with BS 1881: Part 106 and the
Contractor shall supply the necessary apparatus so that the Engineer may check the air content. If the
average air content is greater or less than that specified or the range is greater than 2%, before any
further concrete is used in the Works the Contractor shall take such steps as may be agreed with the
Engineer to adjust the air content of the concrete or improve its uniformity. Any rejected air entrained
concrete must be removed.
The total sulphate content, whether as gypsum or more soluble salts, of concrete ingredients when
measured as sulphur trioxide shall together not exceed 4.0% of the weight of cement in the concrete.
The chloride content of concrete ingredients when measured as Cl shall together not exceed 0.3% of
the weight of cement in concrete using SRPC.
The sulphate and chloride contents shall be established using the following tests:
Sulphate Chloride
The contribution of any admixture must also be included. Testing will be weekly, or as directed by the
Engineer. When the acid soluble alkali content of the cement is greater than 0.6% (calculated as Na2
0+0.658K 2 0) the Contractor must demonstrate that no adverse alkali-silica reaction is likely. This may
be done by determining the alkali content of cement, in accordance with BS 4550: Part 2 and
establishing the alkali content of the concrete. Any concrete containing less than 3.0Kg/m3 may be
considered not at risk. In the event of higher alkali contents a sample of aggregate from each source
must be tested in accordance with ASTM C 227-87. Any aggregate source showing an expansion greater
than 0.05% at 3 months shall not be approved.
The work shall consists of furnishing and lying Damp Proof Course with cement concrete (1:2:4)
including two coats of hot bitumen with polythene sheet between for all the works.

The classes of concrete to be used are as noted on the Drawings. In addition, the following shall apply
unless specified otherwise:
All concrete or mortar used in sewerage manholes, chambers or tanks shall be made with SRPC.
Where waterproof concrete is required, the Contractor shall take full responsibility for ensuring that
such construction is completely waterproof (crack-free). Any leaks appearing during the construction
and maintenance period of the Contract shall be completely repaired by the Contractor at his own
expense. The method proposed by the Contractor for dealing with shrinkage cracks, leaks, or other
defective work shall have no adverse effect on the finished structure. Treatments of internal and external
concrete surfaces of water retaining structures, etc. (coatings or toppings) provided in the price
schedules, does not relieve the Contractor of this obligations under the Contract. These treatments shall
be considered as an additional step for waterproofing and/or resistance to chemical attack.
The Contractor shall determine to the approval of the Engineer the actual proportions of ingredients for
each class of concrete to be used in the permanent works.
Before commencing any concerning on the Site the Contractor shall conduct tests to the satisfaction of
the Engineer to determine the concentration of sulphate in the soil and the ground water in order to
determine the concrete exposure class as detailed in Table 4.2(b), . The Contractor shall ensure that all
Section VII – Schedule of Requirements 194
concrete susceptible to sulphate attack from the soil and ground water shall be designed to satisfy the
additional requirements given in Table 4.2(b) for the particular Site exposure class.

The Contractor shall submit details of the source of all material and the proposed quantities of each
ingredient per cubic metre of fully compacted concrete. The Contractor shall then make trial mixes for
each class of concrete using the same type of Constructional Plant and the same materials as are
proposed for the Permanent Works. The Contractor shall give 24 hours notice of such trials to enable
the Engineer to attend. For each trial mix, three separate batches of concrete shall be made by the
Section VII – Schedule of Requirements 198
Contractor and will be tested at 28 days all in accordance with BS 1881: Part 116. Such trial mixes shall
not be the first batch through the plant in any one sequence of concrete production.
The Contractor shall not commence concreting in the Permanent Works until details of trial mixes and
test results for each class of concrete have been submitted to, and approved by, the Engineer.
A trial mix design will be approved by the Engineer with respect to strength if the average compressive
strength of the nine cylinders so tested is more than the target mean strength appropriate to the class as
given in Table 4.2(a).
The Contractor shall not alter the approved mix proportions nor the approved source of supply of any
of the ingredients without having previously obtained the approval of the Engineer.
During production the Engineer may require trial mixes to be made before a substantial change is made
in the materials or in the proportions of the materials to be used.
All materials for concrete delivered shall be approved and contain following identification marks both
in English and Urdu and stacked as per instruction of the Engineer.
type of cement/steel
number and date of standard conforming to
net weight of cement contained in bags
name, trade name of manufacturer
country of origin

The Contractor shall measure the moisture content in the aggregates and so determine the amount of
water to be added to each batch of fresh concrete. Such determinations shall be to the approval of the
Engineer and the results and calculations shall be available for inspection by him. The frequency of
such determinations shall be as directed by the Engineer and shall depend on the quality of control of
storage and handling, weather conditions and variability of aggregate supplied.
The Contractor shall proportion the ingredients of each batch of concrete by weight. The measuring
equipment should give an accuracy of + 3 % for each ingredient. The Water shall be added to the
aggregates and cement in a mechanical batch mixer; it shall not exceed the maximum ratio with regard
to cement given in Table 4.2 (a) hereof, and shall otherwise be the minimum amount necessary
consistent with complete compaction. The device for measuring the water shall show accurately the
weight required with a given moisture content of the aggregate and shall be so designed that the water
supply will be automatically stopped when the correct quantity has been discharged into the mix. The
concrete ingredients shall then be thoroughly mixed.
Section VII – Schedule of Requirements 199
ii) For mixes of larger capacity than 1.5m3 the time shall be increased by 15 seconds for each
additional 0.75m3 capacity. For intermediate sizes the time shall be assessed by proportion.
In special circumstances, and at the sole discretion of the Engineer, the proportioning of materials by
volume may be approved. In such circumstances the cement content of the concrete shall be increased
by 10% over the amount in the approved mix. The boxes used for proportioning shall be deep and
narrow to the approval of the Engineer, and shall be separately constructed for each class of concrete to
be proportioned by volume.
The temperature of concrete, concrete constituents, reinforcement form work and the atmosphere shall
be monitored continuously for every concrete pour. All sampling and testing of fresh and of hardened
concrete shall be carried out in accordance with the provision of BS 1881 unless such provision is at
variance with the Specification.
Table 4.4 gives the program for sampling and testing of concrete for each class of concrete from each
batching centre in each active day.
TABLE 4.4
Program for Works Sampling and Testing
2 - one sample from every 10 batches, one sample per 20m3 of concrete
or one sample from each day’s concrete, whichever involves the
greatest number of samples.
3 - One sample from every 50 batches, one sample per 50m3 of concrete
or one sample from every three days concrete, whichever involves the
greatest number of sample.
Section VII – Schedule of Requirements 200
The Contractor shall establish a plan for sampling and testing to the approval of the Engineer. Samples
shall be taken at the place of deposition from each class of concrete at random. The frequency of
sampling shall in general be in accordance with Table 4.4, but the actual rate of sampling may vary with
the approval of the Engineer and shall be increased when ordered by the Engineer in appropriate
circumstances. From each such sample six 150mm concrete cylinders shall be prepared; each cylinder
shall be marked indelibly for identification when it is in the mould. After retention at the site for 24
hours the cylinders shall be delivered to the testing laboratory for curing and testing.
Of the six cylinders made from each sample of fresh concrete in accordance with the Specification,
three will be crushed at 7 days and the other three at 28 days. The average of the three 28 days strengths
will be taken as the test result. Compliance with the specified strength requirements shall always be
judged on the 28 days test results.
(a) If a test result is less than the minimum specified in BS 5328 for that class of concrete, in which
case the concrete which it represents shall be broken out and disposed of away from the site by
the Contractor unless at his sole discretion the Engineer approves otherwise (Ref Table 4.2(a).
(b) If the average of four consecutive test results for that class of concrete shall have failed to
exceed the minimum mean of 4 as specified in BS 5328 in which case no further concrete of
that class shall be placed in the Permanent Works until the Contractor shall have discovered the
cause of such failure and rectified it to the satisfaction of the Engineer (Ref Table 4.2 (a).
If a mix fails to achieve the requirements for fresh concrete the batch shall be rejected and no further
concrete of that class shall be placed in the Permanent Works until the cause of failure has been rectified.
If test results for strength of concrete of any class are consistently and significantly in excess of the
target mean strength the Engineer may on the application of the Contractor agree to a reduction in the
cement content in the mix for that class, provided the cement content is not lowered below the minimum
specified for that class, nor the maximum water/cement ratio exceeded.
When the Engineer agrees to or requires testing of the hardened concrete in a structure or precast
element all such testing shall be carried out in accordance with BS 1881 or BS 8110. The results of such
tests shall be interpreted in accordance with BS 6089. Any test on hardened concrete required by the
Engineer shall be completed within 28 days of the Engineer’s order for the test.
In assessing the results of compressive tests on cores the concrete represented by the core shall be
deemed not to comply with the Specification if the strength of the core when adjusted for length:
diameter ratio and converted to estimated cylinder strength in accordance with BS 1881 is less than
Section VII – Schedule of Requirements 201
85% of the specified characteristic strength. Cores shall not be tested for strength at ages less than
28days and no adjustment shall be made to the measured strength in respect of the age of the core when
tested.
The concrete shall be handled so that at the point of deposition it is of the specified quality and approved
consistency, nothing having been added to it or lost from it since leaving the mixer. Any free water shall
have been removed from the section to be concreted before concrete is deposited.
The Contractor shall obtain the approval of the Engineer to the arrangements he proposes to use for
concreting before commencing concrete work.
The Contractor shall regard the compaction of the concrete as work of fundamental importance and
shall produce a watertight concrete of maximum density compatible with the approved mix.
Compaction shall be assisted by the use of mechanical vibrators of the immersion type, but shall not
involve the vibration of reinforcement or shutters except that vibration of shutters may be allowed in
precast concrete, with the approval of the Engineer. Vibrators shall be inserted at least to the full depth
of the newly deposited concrete, kept in position for about a quarter of a minute and then slowly
withdrawn to prevent the formation of voids. The procedure shall be continuous with points of insertion
150 to 225mm apart. The number and type of vibrators available for use during each period of
concreting shall be to the approval of the Engineer, which will not be given if sufficient stand by
vibrators in good working order are not readily available. If concreting is in the dark, ample lighting
shall be provided at the mixing stations and at every place where concrete is being deposited.
Concrete without a retarded which is not deposited in the work within 30 minutes after the start of
mixing shall not be used unless the Engineer approves otherwise.
Concrete may be pumped provided the mix design and the nature of pumping comply with the
recommendations given in the Guide to Concrete Pumping as published by the Building Research
Establishment (UK) and are not in conflict with any specified requirements.
The first batch of concrete to be made every time work is commenced shall contain 10% more cement
than the normal amount.
Where steps, splays and kickers occur these shall be cast in one with the slab and additional case shall
be taken in the vibration and finishing techniques and procedures to ensure that thorough compaction
is achieved and the unset concrete is not subjected to tension and no cracks are formed. The techniques
and procedures to be adopted shall be discussed with the Engineer and his approval received before any
such concreting is commenced.
Truck mixers can be used if authorised by the Engineer. They shall be of the revolving type, watertight
and so constructed that the concrete can be mixed to ensure a uniform distribution. When truck mixers
are approved to supply concrete to a distant location, the Contractor shall ensure that the following
information is supplied on an approved delivery form:
Water shall be added to the mix either at site or at the batching plant. In no circumstances shall water
be added in transit.
d) If the temperature of the concrete on discharge from the mixer is less then 4o C or more than
32oC.
e) When the air temperature exceeds 25oC without taking precautions and demonstrating to the
approval of the Engineer that the maximum internal temperature of the concrete within 24 hours
after casting in place is unlikely to be more than 30oC in excess of the ambient temperature or
more than 60oC.
Section VII – Schedule of Requirements 203
f) Without the approval of the Engineer if the temperature of the shutters or reinforcement exceeds
30oC.
To keep within these limits the Contractor may, among other means, spray aggregates with water, and
use chilled mixing water, or add ice direct to the mixer provided that no ice is present in the mix when
discharged from the mixer.
When concreting in hot weather all material used shall be kept in the shade. Water tanks, mixers and
chutes should be shaded, but where this is not possible they shall be painted white and kept white.
A written record of the concrete works shall be made each day by the Contractor and kept available for
inspection by the Engineer. The diary shall contain notes and records of:
a) The names of the Contractor’s engineers who are responsible for the different phases of the
concrete work, and also the names of their assistants.
b) The temperatures of air, water, cement, aggregates and concrete, together with the air
humidity and type of weather.
e) Times of commencement and completion of different parts of the concrete works, and times of
creation and striking of forms.
f) Quantity of cement, fine and coarse aggregate and admixture used for each section of work,
and the number and kind of test samples taken on these ingredients and water.
4.28 Shuttering
The terms shuttering and form work shall be interpreted as meaning one and the same thing, namely
Temporary Works set up to obtain the required profiles and surface textures of the concrete. Shuttering
shall be such that it remains rigid during the placing and setting of the concrete and prevents the loss of
any concrete ingredients.
The shuttering shall be fixed in correct alignment and to the true shape and dimensions of the Permanent
Works and shall be designed so that it can easily be removed for curing of concrete to commence as
soon as practicable. Where necessary, shuttering should be so arranged that the soffit form, properly
supported on props only, can be retained in position for such periods as may be required to allow the
concrete to mature as specified in this Specification. A method of support which would involve holes
or tie wires extending the whole width from face of work to be concreted will not be permitted, unless
Section VII – Schedule of Requirements 204
authorised by the Engineer in writing. No plugs, bolts, wire ties, holdfasts or any other appliance
whatsoever for the purpose of supporting the shuttering or reinforcement shall be fixed permanently
into the structure so that they have less cover than that specified for the reinforcement or in any way
impair the strength or appearance of the work, nor shall they be placed in such a manner that damage
to the work would result in the removal of the same at the time of striking the shuttering.
Before the concrete is placed the retaining surfaces shall be cleaned of sawdust and shavings, dirt, other
debris and standing water.
The inside of shuttering shall be coated with a release agent of non-staining mineral oil, mould cream
emulsion or with other approved material. Adjacent concrete or reinforcement shall not be
contaminated. The release agent must be compatible with any applied finish.
Temporary openings for cleaning and inspection before concreting shall be provided at the base of
column and wall shuttering and where necessary. Shuttering for walls or other thin sections may have
openings where approved by the Engineer for the placing and compacting of the concrete.
No concreting shall be started before the shuttering has been inspected by the Engineer. Unless
otherwise approved, top shuttering shall be provided to concrete faces where the slope exceeds one
vertical to three horizontal. Exposed arises shall be formed with a chamfer measuring 20mm x 20mm.
The rates for concreting shall include shuttering and for all types of cutting and waste, forming chamfers
or as otherwise indicated on the Drawings.
The faces of all concrete shall be left sound, solid, free from voids and to the class of finish specified.
No treatment to the finished concrete other than that specified in the class of finish shall be carried out
unless approval to do so has been given by the Engineer.
Bolt bobbin holes shall be filled with cement and suitable fine aggregate mortar to match the colour of
the concrete. The mortar shall be well worked in and thoroughly cured.
Class F1 – This finish requires no special treatment and is for surfaces which will remain hidden in the
Permanent Works.
Class F2S – This finish is for all exposed surfaces that shall not be rendered. The finish shall be obtained
from forms designed to produce a hard smooth surface with true, clean arises. Only very minor surface
blemishes shall be permitted and these shall be no staining or discoloration. The formwork shall be
faced with plywood or equivalent material in large sheets rigidly supported so as to prevent distortion
under load. The sheets shall be arranged to coincide with architectural features, or changes in direction
Section VII – Schedule of Requirements 205
of the surface. All joints between panels shall be straight and either vertical or horizontal unless
otherwise directed and the joints between panels to slab soffits shall be parallel to the supports. Suitable
joints shall be provided between sheets to minimise joint marks and to maintain accurate alignment in
the plane of the sheets.
Class F2R – This finish is for all exposed surfaces that are to be rendered or plastered. The formwork
shall be face with plywood or equivalent material in large sheets rigidly supported so as to prevent
distortion under load. All joints between panels shall be straightened either vertical or horizontal unless
otherwise directed. Suitable joints shall be provided between sheets to minimise joint marks and to
maintain accurate alignment in the plane of the sheets. The surface of the formwork shall be unplanned
so as to produce a rough concrete finish to provide a good key for the render or plaster.
Class F3 - This finish is identical to Class F2 finish except that the permitted deviations for
irregularities are more stringent as given in Table 4.5.
Profiled Surface Finish – This finish is used where indicated on the Drawings. The quality of the surface
finish and the permitted deviations shall be as for a Class F2S finish.
Where a surface is partly below and partly above the final ground level the finish for exposed surfaces
shall extend for 500mm below the final ground level.
Type U1 - This finish is for surfaces where a superior finish is not required. It is also the first stage for
finishes U2 and U3. The finishing operations shall consist of grading, tamping and screeding the
concrete to produce a uniform, plain or ridged surface.
Type U2 - This is a smooth matt finish such as may be achieved by a wood trowel, as required, inter
alia, to receive mastic pavings, block or tile pavings bedded in mastic or screeds. Smoothing shall be
done only after the concrete has hardened sufficiently, and may be by hand or machine. Care shall be
taken that the concrete is worked no more than is necessary to produce a uniform surface free from
marks.
Type U3 - This a smooth steel-trowelled finish for surfaces of concrete pavings, tops of walls, coping’s
and other members exposed to weathering or water, surfaces to receive thin flexible sheet, tile pavings
bedded in adhesive, and seatings for bearing plates and the like where the metal is in direct contact with
the concrete. Trowelling shall not commence until the moisture film has disappeared and the concrete
hardened sufficiently to prevent excess laitance from being worked to the surface. The surfaces shall be
trowelled by hand or machine under firm pressure and left free from trowel marks.
Type U4 - This is a power trowelled finish for surfaces to receive epoxy resin floor finish. Trowelling
shall not commence until the moisture film has disappeared and the concrete hardened sufficiently to
take the weight of the machine and operator.
Section VII – Schedule of Requirements 206
Class F1 is for surfaces which will remain hidden in the Permanent Works.
Unless otherwise stated on the Drawings all exposed surfaces shall be Class F2R, subject to the
following exceptions:
The internal faces of all liquid retaining structures shall be Class F2S.
The exposed faces of all concrete walls shall be Class F2S.
The irregularities in formed and unformed surfaces for the various classes of finish shall be within the
target limits shown in Table 4.5. If irregularities exceed the target the Contractor shall take the necessary
steps to bring subsequent work within the target. If, however, the irregularities exceed the maximum
allowable shown in the table it shall be sufficient cause for the structure, member or section of a member
of the structure to be removed and properly reconstructed.
i) Departure from alignment, and grade and dimension shown on the Drawings.
ii) The cross-sectional dimensions of structural members less than 600mm, such as walls,
columns, beams, etc where, for structural reasons, it is desirable to keep the tolerances within
closer limits than those for alignment and grade.
iii) Gradual irregularities measured from a 3m long template placed against the concrete.
iv) Abrupt irregularities such as those resulting from defective or displaced facing or movement of
supports.

A concrete surface with in the opinion of the Engineer fails to achieve the required standard shall render
that section of concrete, the member of which it is a part, or in extreme cases the whole structure, liable
to be rejected by the Engineer.
No remedial work shall be started before the defective section has been inspected by the Engineer. If

PART 3 EXECUTION
Bricks shall be soaked in water before use for a period for the water to just penetrate the whole depth
of the bricks. The soaking of bricks would be for 2 to 3 hrs. Alternatively bricks may be adequately
soaked in stacks by profusely spraying with clean water at regular intervals for a period not less than
six hours. The bricks required for masonry work using mud mortar shall not be soaked. When the bricks
are soaked they shall be removed from the tank sufficiently early so that at the time of application they
are skin-dry. Such soaked bricks shall be stacked on a clean place where they are not again spoiled by
dirt earth etc.
Note 1: The period of soaking may be easily found at site by a field test in which the bricks are soaked
in water for different periods and then broken to find the extent of water penetration. The least period
that corresponds to complete soaking will be the one to be allowed for in construction work.
Note 2: If the bricks are soaked for the required time in water that is frequently changed the soluble salt
in the bricks will be leached out, and subsequently efflorescence will be reduced.
a) The methods and equipment used for transporting the bricks and mortar shall be such as will not
damage the brick nor delay the use of mixed mortar.
b) All brickwork shall be placed only after the foundation surface has been prepared satisfactory in
accordance with these Specifications and the Engineer’s instructions.
c) All bricks to be used in brickwork with mortar joints except with mud mortar joints shall be moistened
with water for three to four hours before they are used, by a method which will ensure that each brick
is thoroughly and uniformly wetted. All bricks shall be free from water adhering to their surface when
they are placed in the brickwork. This bricks shall be laid strictly in accordance with the Drawing or as
directed by the Engineer.
d) Brick work shall not be carried out during rains sufficiently heavy or prolonged to wash the mortar
from the bricks. Mortar already spread, which becomes diluted by rain, shall be removed and replaced
before continuing with the work. Fresh laid brickwork shall be covered with polyethylene sheets to
avoid dilution and removal of mortar. Workman shall not be allowed to walk on the brickwork before

bond. Closers in such cases, shall be cut to the required size and used near the ends of the wall. Header
bond shall be used preferably in all courses in curved plan for ensuring better alignment.
Note:
Header bond shall also be used in foundation footings unless thickness of walls (width of footing) makes
the use of headers impracticable. Where thickness of footing is uniform for a number of courses, the
top course of footing shall be headers. All loose materials, dirt and set lumps of mortar which may be
lying over the surface on which brick work is to be freshly started, shall be removed with a wire brush
and surface wetted. Bricks shall be laid on a full bed of mortar, when laying, each brick shall be properly
bedded and set in position by gently pressing with the handle of a trowel. It’s inside face shall be

shall be raked back at an angle of 45 degrees or less with the horizontal by setting back 2-1/2 inches at
each course, with a maximum of twelve courses, to reduce the possibility and the unsightliness of
defects caused by any settlement that may take place in the most recently built portion of the wall.
Toothing shall not be permitted as an alternative to racking back. For half brick partition to be keyed
into main walls, indents shall be left in the main walls.
c) Other Factors All pipe fittings and specials, spouts, hold fasts and other fixtures which are required
to be built into the walls shall be embedded, as specified, in their correct position as the work
proceeds unless otherwise directed by the Engineer-in-Charge. Top courses of all plinths, parapets,
steps and top of walls below floor and roof slabs shall be laid with brick on edge, unless specified
otherwise. Brick on edge laid in the top courses. at corner of walls shall be properly radiated and keyed
into position to form cut (marrow) corners as specified. Where bricks cannot be cut to the required
shape to form cut (marrow) corners, cement concrete 1:2:4 (1 cement :2 coarse sand : 4 graded stone
aggregate 20 mm nominal size) equal to thickness of course shall be provided in lieu of cut bricks.
Bricks shall be laid with frog (where provided) up. However, when top course is exposed, bricks shall
be laid with frog down. For the bricks to be laid with frog down, the frog shall be filled with mortar
before placing the brick in position. In case of walls one brick thick and under, one face shall be kept
even and in proper plane, while the other face may be slightly rough. In case of walls more than one
Section VII – Schedule of Requirements 225
brick thick, both the faces shall be kept even and in proper plane. To facilitate taking service lines later
without excessive cutting of completed work, sleeves shall be provided, where specified, while raising
the brick work. Such sleeves in external walls shall be sloped down outward so as to avoid passage of
water inside. Top of the brickwork in coping and sills in external walls shall be slightly tilted. Where
brick coping and sills are projecting beyond the face of the wall, drip course/throating shall be provided
where indicated. Care shall be taken during construction that edges of jambs, sills and projections are
not damaged in case of rain. New built work shall be covered with gunny bags or tarpaulin so as to
prevent the mortar from being washed away. Damage, if any, shall be made good to the satisfaction of
the Engineer-in-Charge.
d) Stability The stability of brickwork is affected in three general ways: 1. By loading a given area of
ground beyond its ultimate resistance, by an irregular concentration of great pressures on a soft sub-
soil, by the tendency of the sub-stratum to slid or by eccentric loadings, the walls are thrown out of the
upright, crack or disintegrate. 2. By bad bonding, resulting in disintegration. 3. By side thrusts which
may be distributed or concentrated, and their tendency is to overturn the walls; they are provided for by
designing the walls of a sufficient thickness, or by placing buttresses at regular intervals.
5.3.5 JOINTS
The horizontal joints shall be parallel whereas vertical joints in alternative courses shall be directly over
one another. The thickness of the vertical joints shall be approximately 6 millimetres and the thickness
of horizontal joints shall be 10 millimetres. Finishing of Joints: The face of brick work may be finished
flush or by pointing. In flush finishing either the face joints of the mortar shall be worked out while still
green to give a finished surface flush with the face of the brick work or the joints shall be squarely raked
out to a depth of 1 cm while the mortar is still green for subsequently plastering. The faces of brick
work shall be cleaned with wire brush so as to remove any splashes of mortar during the course of
raising the brick work. In pointing, the joints shall be squarely raked out to a depth of 1.5 cm while the
mortar is still green and raked joints shall be brushed to remove dust and loose particles and well wetted,
and shall be later refilled with mortar to give ruled finish. Some such finishes are ‘flush’, ‘weathered’,
ruled, etc.

for measurement.
Weights for payment shall be the net calculated weights based on the dimensions indicated on the detail
drawings. The weight of rolled shapes and plates shall be computed on the basis of their nominal
weights and dimensions. In calculating the net weights all copes, cuts and open holes except rivet and
bolt holes shall be deducted. No additional weight shall be calculated for overweight allowance,
protective coatings, allowance for milling, grip length of rivets and bolts and butt and groove welds.
The weight of castings including fillets shall be computed on the basis of the dimensions shown on the
detail drawings with deductions for all openings and cuts in the finished casting. Computed weights
for fillet welds, rivets, bolts and cut washers shall be included in accordance with the following:
Note: For unequal-leg fillet welds the weight corresponding to the smaller leg in the above listing shall
