Necessary initial load test shall also be carried out by the bidder at their cost to establish the piles design capacity. Only after the design capacity of piles has been established, the Contractor shall take up the job of piling, Routine tests for the piles shall also be conducted. All the work (design & testing) shall be planned in such a way that these shall not cause any delay in project completion.

If desired, tests shall be made by taking samples of cement from stores or elsewhere from the works. The selection of samples and procedure for testing shall comply with appropriate LS. specification. All aggregates shall conform to LS, 383 - 1970. Aggregate shall, where possible, be derived from a source that normally produces aggregate satisfactory for concrete, and if requested by the Employer/ Engineer, the Contractor shall supply evidence to this effec. If instructed to do so, the contractor shall supply samples of the aggregate for the purpose of ‘making preliminary concrete test cubes as herein-after specified. Aggregate shall consist of naturally occurring sand and gravel ot stone crushed or unerushed, or a combination thereof, They shall be hard, strong, dense, durable, clean and free from veins and adherent coating, AS far as possible, flaky and elongated pieces should be avoided. Aggregate shall not contain any harmful materials, such as iron pyrites, coal, mica, shale or similar laminated materials, clay, alkali, soft fragments, organic impurities etc. in such quantity as to affect the strength or durability of the concrete or in addition to the above for reinforced concrete, any material which atlack the reinforcement. Aggregate which are chemically reactive with the alkalis of cement are harmful, as cracking of concrete may take place, These aggregate shall be protected. from spilling oils, mobiles, diesels over it onsite. The fine aggregate shall be natural sand or sand derived by crushing suitable gravel or stone and shall be free from coagulated lumps. Sand derived from a stone unsuitable for coarse aggregate shall not be used as the fine aggregate. ‘The fine aggregate shall conform to the requirements of LS. 383-1970. Fine aggregate shall not contain more than 3% of material removable by decantation test, nor more than 1% dry lumps. The total of coal, clay Jumps, shale, soft fragments and other deleterious substance shall not be ‘more than 5%, ‘The percentage of clay lumps shall be determined by examining the various fractions that remain after the material has been tested for grading, Any particles that can be broken with fingers shall be classified as clay Jumps and the total percentage of clay lumps shall be determined on the basis of the total original weight ofthe sample.

After twenty four hours immersion in water, a previous dried sample shall not have gained in weight more than 5% and not more than 10% if itis to be used in plain concrete or elsewhere as described.

Specifications and the working drawings. Any discrepancies in the dimensions on the drawings or any points not clear to the Contractor shall be brought to the notice of the Employer/ Engineer or clarified in advance before proceeding with the work. ‘The Contractor shall allow for all wastage in all materials. He shall also allow for all tests of concrete materials and if required produce ‘manufacturer's certificate for cement and steel unless issued by the Owner. 1) All form work should be get checked for levelling and dimensions as well as all necessary supporting spouts from the Employer/ Engineer, 2) Only after getting the formwork checked, reinforcement should be placed properly as according to the drawing and detailing, 3) The date and time of any casting of concrete should be informed to the Engineer/Employer's 2 days in advance. No concrete work shall be cast in the absence of the Employer/ Engineer, ‘The Contractor shall personally check that both the formwork and reinforcement have been correctly placed and fixed and satisfy himself that all work preparatory to casting is completely ready, before requesting, the Employer/ Engineer for final inspection and approval. 15. At least 30 days prior to procuring, or dispatch of the materials to site, the Contractor shall submit, to the Engincer, the following: * Certified quality test reports from manufacturers and suppliers in respect of cement, concrete aggregates and other materials, This will also be necessary whenever the source is changed or in case sub- standard materials were received on the Site: Single Sage: TwoEeiope(Chaps 21 ~ Chi rctecurs & Building Works # If the materials are to be provided from several sources, the estimated quantity to be procured from each source and the proposed schedule of supply. ‘The quantity of all necessary materials should be checked by the Employer/ Engineer for any casting. Delivery shall he made sufficiently in advance of constructional requirements to enable further samples to be selected and tested if so desired by the Employer/ Engineer. No material shall be used in the works until approved, Materials failing to comply with the approved samples and specification shall be immediately removed from the works at the Contractor's Cost. 14, In general, water cement ration (w/c ratio) of the concrete mix shall be kept minimum during casting, Generally one bag of cement concrete mix shall use 35.6 litres of water or as necessary. As moisture content of fine and coarse aggregate varies, for workability of concrete mix, the Employer/ Engineer may vary the water quantity and once the water quantity to be placed for one bag of cement concrete mix is fixed by the Employer/ Engineer, the Contractor shall follow it strictly. As information to the Contractor, the Employer/ Engineer will depute one checking supervisor to the mixing batch, the quantity of water used shall be varied to suit the moisture content ofthe aggregate, and shall be just sufficient to produce a dense concrete, consistent with practical workability 15. The interval between adding the water to the dry mix and completion of the concrete placing operation shall not exceed 20 minutes nor, when an approved admixture that accelerates the initial setting of the cement be used, exceed ten minutes or as directed by the Employer/ Engineer. Concreting of large sections of slab/ foundation or any structure exceeding 5 cubic meters in quantity per day shall be placed using Ready mix concrete or concrete shall be mixed using batching plants whenever possible or as directed by engineer. Except where otherwise approved for slabs and large sections concrete shall be placed in the formwork by shovels or other approved implements and shall not be dropped from height more than 1.5 m nor handled in a manner to cause segregation. Accumulations of hardened concrete dropping on the reinforcement shall be avoided. Concrete shall be sorted along the formwork to that position. Each layer of concrete while being placed shall be compacted by approved methods of ramming ot ‘mechanical vibrations to form a dense surface free from honey combing, and tolerably free from water marks and air holes or other blemishes. The concrete shall be tamped against the face of the formwork so as to produce dense fair surface. The number and type of mechanical vibrations shall be approved before compacting by vibration. Placing and compaction of concrete shall be done in such a manner as not to disturb concrete already Alacéd, and reinforcement projecting from concrete already placed shall ibe vibrated or jarred, For concreting reinforced concrete walls and structures having least lateral dimensions of 13mm. or under, each r of concrete while being placed shall be properly compacted by ‘approved methods of mechanical vibrations produced by internal or external mechanical vibration. deck The laying of concrete over slabs should be uniform thick of required Bing Document fer NEADBISS-07080-04 Single Stage: Two-Emeiope ‘hultabarBslanga 192 XV Tranemision Lins Projet e
