900.3 Construction Requirements

Notations: The notations used in these regulations are defined as follows:

f'c = compressive strength of concrete

Fsp = ratio of splitting tensile strength to square root of compressive strength.

900.3.1 Concrete Quality

All plans submitted for approval or used for any project shall clearly show the
specified strength, fc', of concrete of the specified age for which each part of the structure
was designed.
Concrete that will be exposed to sulfate containing or other chemically aggressive
solutions shall be proportioned in accordance with "Recommended Practice for Selecting
Proportions for Concrete (ACI 613)" and Recommended Practice for Selecting Proportions
for Structural Lightweight Concrete (ACI 613A)."

900.3.2 Methods of Determining the Proportions of Concrete

The determination of the proportions of cement, aggregate, and water to attain the
required strengths shall be made by one of the following methods, but lower water-cement
ratios may be required for conformance__ with the quality of concrete.
Method 1, Without preliminary test
Where preliminary test data on the materials to be used in the concrete have not been
obtained the water-cement ratio for a given strength of concrete shall not exceed the values
shown in Table 900.1.' When strengths- in excess bf 281 kilograms per square centimeter
(4000 pounds per square inch) are required or when light weight aggregates or' admixtures
(other than those exclusively for the purpose of entraining - air) are used, the required water-
cement ratio shall be determined in accordance with Method 2.
Method 2. For combination of materials previously evaluated or to be established by
trial mixtures.
Water-cement ratios for strengths greater than that shown in Table I 900.1 may be
used provided that the relationship between strength and I water-cement ratio for the
materials to be used has been previously established by reliable test data and the resulting
concrete satisfies the . requirements of concrete quality.
Where previous data are not available. Concrete trial mixtures having proportions and
consistency suitable for the work shall be made using at least three different water-cement
ratios (or cement content in I the case of lightweight aggregates) which will produce a range
of strengths encompassing those required for the work. For each water-cement ratio (or
cement content) at least three specimens for each age to be tested shall be made, cured and
tested for strength in accordance with ASTM C 39 and C 192.
The strength test shall be made at 7, 14 and 28 days at which the concrete is to receive
load, as indicated on the plans. A curve shall be established showing the relationship between

8
water-cement ratio (or cement content) and compressive strength. The maximum permissible
water-cement ratio for the concrete to be used in the structure shall be that shown by the
curve to produce an average strength to satisfy the requirements of the strength test of
concrete provided that the water-cement ratio shall be no' greater than that required by
concrete quality when concrete that is to be subjected to the freezing temperatures which
weight shall have a water-cement ratio not exceeding 6 gal per bag and it shall contain
entrained air.
Where different materials are to be used for different portions of the work, each
combination shall be evaluated separately.

900.3.3 Concrete Proportions and Consistency

The proportions of aggregate to cement for any concrete shall be such as to produce a
mixture which will work readily into the corners and angles of the form and around
reinforcement with the method of placing employed on the work, but without permitting the
materials to segregate or excess free water to collect on the surface. The methods of
measuring concrete materials shall be such that the proportions can be accurately controlled
and easily checked at any time during the work.

900.3.4 Sampling and Testing of Structural Concrete

As work progress, at least one (1) set of sample consisting of three (3) concrete
cylinder test specimens, 150 x 300 mm shall be taken from each class of concrete placed each
day, and each set to represent not more than 75 cu m of concrete.

900.3.5 Consistency
Concrete shall have a consistency such that it will be workable in the required
position. It shall be such a consistency that it will flow around reinforcing steel but individual
particles of the coarse aggregate when isolated shall show a coating or mortar containing its
proportionate amount of sand. The consistency of concrete shall be gauged by the ability of
the equipment to properly placed it and not by the difficulty of mixing water shall be
determined by the Engineer and shall not be varied without his consent. Concrete as dry as it
is practical to place with the equipment specified shall be used.

9
900.3.6 Strength Test of Concrete
When strength is a basis for acceptance, each class of concrete shall be represented by
at least five test (10 specimens). Two specimens shall be made for each test at a given age,
and not less than one test shall be made for each 150 cu yd of structural concrete, but there
shall be at least one test for each days concreting. The Building Official may require a
reasonable number of additional tests during the progress of the work. Samples from which
compression test specimens are molded shall be secured in accordance with ASTM C 172.
Specimens made to check the adequacy of the proportions for strength of concrete or as a
basis for acceptance of concrete shall be made and laboratory-cured in accordance with
ASTM C 31. Additional test specimens cured entirely under field conditions may be required
by the Building Official to check the adequacy of curing and protection of the concrete.
Strength tests shall be made in accordance with ASTM C 39.
The age for strength tests shall be 28 days Of, where specified, the earlier age at
which the concrete is to receive its full load or maximum j stress. Additional test may be
made at earlier ages to obtain advance information on the adequacy of strength development
where age-strength
relationships have been established for the materials and proportions used.

To conform to the requirements of this Item:

1. For structures designed in accordance with the working stress design method of this
chapter, the average of any five consecutive strength tests of the laboratory-cured specimens
representing each class of concrete shall be equal on or greater than the specified strength, fc',
and not more than 20 percent of the strength test shall have values less than that specified.
2. For structures designed in accordance with the ultimate strength design method of
this chapter, and for prestressed structures the average of any three consecutive strength test
of the laboratory, cured specimens representing each class of concrete shall be equal to or
greater than the specified strength, fc' and not more than 10 percent of the strength tests shall
have values less than the specified strength.
When it appears that the laboratory-cured specimens will fail to conform to the
requirements for strength, the Engineer shall have the right to order changes in the concrete
sufficient to increase the strength to meet these requirements. The strengths of the specimens
cured on the job are intended to indicate the adequacy of protection and curing of the
concrete and may be used to determine when the forms may be stripped, shoring removed, or
the structure placed in service. When, in the opinion of the Building Official, the strengths of
the job-cured specimens, the contractor may be required to improve the procedures for
protecting and curing the concrete, or when test of field-cured cylinders indicate deficiencies
in protection and curing, the Engineer may require test in accordance with ASTM
Specification C 42 or order load tests as outlined in the load tests of structures for that portion
of the structure where the questionable concrete has been placed.

900.3.7 Splitting Tensile Test of Concrete

To determine the splitting ratio, Fsp, for a particular aggregate, test of concrete shall
be made as follows:

1. Twenty four (24) 15 cm. dia. by 30 cm long (6 in. dia. by 12 in. long) cylinders
shall be made in accordance with ASTM C 192, twelve at a compressive strength level of
approximately 210 kilograms per square centimeter (3000 psi) and twelve at approximately
280 kilograms per square centimeter (4000 psi) or 350 kilograms per square centimeter (5000
psi). After 7 days moist curing followed by 21 days drying at 23C (73F) and 50 percent

10
relative humidity, eight of the test cylinders at each of the two strength levels shall be tested
for splitting strength and four for compressive strength.
2. The splitting tensile strength shall be determine in accordance with ASTM C 496,
and compressive strength in accordance with ASTM C 39.
The ratio, Fsp, of splitting tensile strength to the square root of compressive strength
shall be obtained by using the average of all 16 splitting tensile test and all 8 compressive
tests.
Minimum Strength, Concrete other than fill, shall have a minimum compressive
strength at 28 days of 140 kilograms per square centimeter (2000 psi).

900.3.8 Batching

900.6 Acceptance of Concrete

The strength of concrete shall be deemed acceptable if the average of 3 consecutive

strength test results is equal to or exceed the specified strength and no individual test result
falls below the specified strength by more than 15 %.
Concrete deemed to be not acceptable using the above criteria may be rejected unless
contractor can provide evidence, by means of core tests, that the quality of concrete
represented by the failed test result is acceptable in place. Three (3) cores shall be obtained
from the affected area and cured and tested in accordance with AASHTO T24.
Concrete in the area represented by the cores will be deemed acceptable if the average of
cores is equal to or at least 85 % and no sample core is less than 75 % of the specified
strength otherwise it shall be rejected.

ITEM 1000 - TERMITE CONTROL WORK

1000.1 Description

This Item shall consist of furnishing and applying termite control chemicals, including
the use of equipment and tools in performing such operations in accordance with this
Specification.

1000.2 Material Requirements

Termite control chemicals or toxicants shall be able to immediately exterminate

termites or create barriers to discourage entry of subterranean termites into the building areas.
The toxicants may be classified into the following types and according to use:

Type I. Liquid Termicide Concentrate

This type of toxicant shall be specified for drenching soil beneath foundations of
proposed buildings. The concentrate shall be diluted with water in the proportion of 1 liter of
concentrate material to 65 liters of water or as specified by the Manufacturer.

Type II. Liquid Termicide Ready Mixed Solution

This type of toxicant which comes in ready mixed solution shall be ·1 used as wood
preservative by drenching wood surfaces to the point of run-off.

Type III. Powder Termicide

This type of toxicant shall be applied to visible or suspected subterranean termite

mounds and tunnels where termites are exterminated through trophallaxes method (exchange
or nourishment between termites while greeting each other upon meeting).

1000.3 Construction Requirements

Before any termite control work is started, thorough examination of the site shall be
undertaken so that the appropriate method of soil poisoning can be applied.
The Contractor shall coordinate with other related trades through the Engineer to
avoid delay that may arise during the different phases of application of the termite control
chemicals.

1000.3.1 Soil Poisoning

There are two methods usually adopted in soil poisoning which are as follows:
1. Cordoning. This method is usually adopted when there is no visible evidence of
termite infestation. Trenches in concentric circles, squares or rectangles are dug 150mm to

13
220mm wide and at least one meter apart and applied with Type I working [Link] the rate
of 8 liters per linear meter.
2. Drenching. When soil show termite infestation, this method shall be applied. The
building area shall be thoroughly drenched with Type I working solution at the rate of 24
liters per square meter. When Powder Termicide is to be applied to eradicate subterranean
termites, careful application and precaution shall be given considering that this toxicant is
fatal to animal and human lives.

1000.3.2 Application
At the time soil poisoning is to be applied, the soil to be treated shall be in friable
condition with low moisture content so as to allow uniform distribution of the toxicant
agents. Toxicant shall be applied at least twelve (12) hours prior to placement of concrete
which shall be in contact with treated materials.
Treatment of the soil on the exterior sides of the foundation walls, grade beams and
similar structures shall be done prior to final grading and planting or landscaping work to
avoid disturbance of the toxicant barriers by such operations.
Areas to be covered by concrete slab shall be treated before placement of granular fill
used as capillary water barrier at a rate of 12 liters per square meter with Type I working
solution after it has been compacted and set to required elevation. Additional treatment shall
be· applied as follows:

1. In critical areas such as utility openings for pipes, conduits and ducts, apply
additional treatment at the rate of 6 liters per linear meter in a strip 150 mm to 200 mm wide.
2. Along the exterior perimeter of the slab and under expansion joint, at the rate of 2.5
liters per linear meter in a strip 150 mm to 200 mm wide in a shallow trench.

1000.3.3 Wood Protection

Where the application of wood preservative is necessary, the Contractor shall use
Type II working solution as recommended by the manufacturer.
All wood materials not pressure treated as specified in Item 1003 Carpentry and
Joinery shall be treated with Type II ready mixed solution as herein called for or as directed
by the Engineer.

1000.3.4 Guarantee

The contractor shall guarantee the work for one (1) year after final acceptance.

1000.4 Method of Measurement

Liquid termite control chemicals or toxicants shall be measured by actual number of

liters used in the cordoning and drenching of lot areas and soil poisoning of granular fill or
actual number of liters used in drenching wood surfaces, while powder chemical/toxicant
shall be measured by kilograms applied to suspected subterranean termite mounds and
tunnels.
The quantity to be paid for shall be determined and accepted by the Engineer.

1000.5 Basis of Payment

The accepted quantities, measured as prescribed in Section 10 shall be paid for at the
Contract Unit Price for Termite Control Work which price and payment shall be full
