fully complies with the relevant I.S specifications shall be submitted to the Architects and not
withstanding this, the Architects may at their discretion order that the cement brought to site and
which they may consider damaged or of doubtful quality for any reasons whatsoever shall be
retested in an approved testing laboratory and fresh certificate of its quality shall be produced.
Cement ordered for retesting shall not be used for any work pending results of retest.

CEMENT STORAGE:

Cement shall be stored and neatly packed in piles not exceeding 10 bags high in weather proof sheds
with raised wooden plank flooring to prevent deterioration by dampness or intrusion of foreign matter. It
shall be stored in such a way as to allow the removal and use of cement in chronological order of
receipt, i.e. the first received being first used. Cement deteriorated and/or clotted shall not be used
on work but shall be removed at once from the site. Daily record of cement received and consumed shall
be maintained by the contractor in an approved form and a copy submitted to the Architects/employer
once a week.

B) FINE AGGREGATES :

Sand shall conform to IS: 383. It shall pass through I.S sieve 4.75 mm (3/16 B.S) test sieve, leaving a
residue not more than 5%. It shall be from a natural source or crushed stone screenings. It shall be

accordance with the clause 4.3 of IS 456 - 1978. The contractor shall produce test results for
approval by the Architect for the mixing of water proposed to be used on the job, before casting any
concrete.

E) MIXING OF CONCRETE :

1. MACHINE MIXED : Aggregates shall be accurately measured out in boxes and mixed
dry along with required cement, water shall then be added in measured quantity and mixing shall
be continued until there is uniform distribution of the materials and the mass is uniform in colour
and consistency but in no case shall the mixing be done for less than 2 minutes. Only hopper loading
mixer shall be used.

2. HAND MIXING : When hand mixing is permitted with the approval of the Architects, it shall be
carried out on water tight mixing platform and care shall be taken to ensure that mixing is continued
until the mass is uniform in colour and consistency. If required by the Architects 10% extra
cement has to be used if hand mixing is done.

CONSISTENCY :

Only sufficient water giving due allowance for the moisture content of aggregate shall be added to
the cement and aggregates during mixing to produce a mixture of sufficient workability to
enable it to be well consolidated, to be worked into the corners of the shuttering and
around the reinforcements where there is reinforcement to give the specified finish and to have
specified strength. Normally for every 50 kg of cement total water including moisture content of
aggregate should not be more than 34 liters for 1:3:6 mix 32 liters for 1:2:4 mix. 30 liters for 1:11/2:3
and 27 liters for 1:1:2.

If difficulty be experienced in placing the concrete of specified mix and approved consistency between
and below reinforcement bars, in the bottom of beams and similar situations, the concrete shall
have improved workability by increasing the proportion of water and corresponding additional
quantity of cement and using aggregates of smaller size than specified as directed by Architects for
which no extra be paid.

The consistency shall be determined by making trial mixtures with dried aggregates, or when so
instructed by test of laboratory made test cubes under the direction of Architect. Consistency may be
measured by slump test using a standard cone or the Architect may direct the use of any other means
of testing the consistency.

If the apparatus used for the slump test is a standard cone, when filled. It shall be raised vertically clear
of the concrete and the measurement of the slump shall be 300mm minus the height of the slumped cone
of concrete. Care shall be taken to prevent vibration of the samples being tested. The following
slumps shall be adopted for different kind of works

Architect. The procedure given in clause 20.1.4.2 of IS: 456-1978 shall be followed for general
guidance. All laitance shall be removed from the concrete before it is allowed to fully harden.
The removal shall be effected by scrubbing the concrete surface with wire and with bristle
brushes and washing down to expose clearly the aggregate. However care shall be taken to avoid
dislodgement of particles of aggregate. If concrete has been allowed to harden excessively the surface
shall be chipped over its whole surface to a depth of at least 10 mm and thereafter thoroughly washed.
Before fresh concrete is added on the construction joints, the surface of the old concrete shall be
thoroughly wetted and covered with a thin layer of cement mortar 1:2.

VERTICAL JOINTS :
