Compaction:
Compact the concrete immediately after placing by internal vibrator till scum of mortar appears.
Compact within 20 minutes the mixture is being placed in position.
Do not vibrate much longer & stop vibrating as soon as laitance of mortar appears on the surface.
Excessive vibration segregates the mix.

presented. The maximum permissible water cement ratio and the leanest ratio for the concrete to
be used in the structures shall be the one producing an average strength 25 percent higher than
the specified strength hereinafter stated.

Where different materials or proportions are to be used from different pails of the
work, each combination shall be evaluated separately.

All form work shall be constructed water-tight, true to line, of sound materials and of such
rigidity to prevent bulging or movement during the placement and curing of the concrete. After
hardening the concrete shall conform to the shape, dimensions and surface finish described in the
contract. Form lining shall be in largest practicable panels to minimize joints.

Fixing the Form:

Clean steel form with steel scraper or steel brush to make if free of rust, encrustation or mortar or

Apply oil to the form either mobile or thin tar to avoid sticking of concrete. Also wipe out the
form to remove excessive oil.

Tighten column with nut & bolt at every hole and with T-bolt.

Check the vertical alignment both transverse & longitudinal way and after proper vertically, fix
the steel shutter with turn bolt & tie bolt. Then again check vertical alignment by adjusting turn
bolt.

Form for Slab & Beam:

Level the form of slab with water level in all direction.
Fix end of sheet with wood by nails.
Check if any gap/hole in the form & then close those with paper or putty or with thin metal sheet
not to permit leakage cement grout.
Use camber in beam and slab 0.45 in/ft to counteract the effects of deflection.

Propping & Centering:

Use bamboo post 75mm dia as prop @ 600mm~675mm c/c for slab.
In between bamboo prop, use steel post @1800mm ~2100mm c/c depending on size of room
space.
Tight the props at both end, no loose prop should be used.
Use horizontal bracing at 1200mm level for height more than 3.0m.
In addition to turn bolt & T-bolt, to fixing the column shutter, use bamboo & steel prop as strut
in inclined position.
Before concreting, check props are intact and keep 2 carpenter/shuttering men for constant
observation on prop during casting and take immediate remedial measure as soon as any prop get
loosen.
Removal of Form work:
Remove the form work as per time elapse after concreting as follows:
In case of column, wall vertical members = after 36 hours.

wise & member wise.
Reject bar which cracks during straightening.
Clean and oil the form before placing reinforcement where applicable specially in case of slab.
Accurately place all reinforcing bar in exact position as per size and spacing shown on the
drawing. Keep bar straight in alignment and securely held in position by using precast mortar
blocks, metal chairs & spacers.
Use sand cement mortar as blocks in maintaining clear cover, 3/8"- ½" inch dia bar as chair &
suitable dia of bar as spacers.
Place sufficient blocks, chairs, spacers so that no sag between support nor displacement occur
during concreting or any other operation over work. Use spacer bar, chair or pre-cast mortar
blocks to separate lever of bar.
Secure bar crossing each other by 24SWG wire so that they do not slip over each other at time of
fixing & concerting. Keep concrete cover to protect reinforcement from corrosion as follows:
Sl. No. Name of R.C.C. work Minimum clear cover
1 Foundation work (all around) 75mm
2 Column work (side) 40mm
3 Slab work (bottom) 20mm
4 Structure adjacent earth 75mm
5 Beam work 40mm
Place reinforcement in full length as far as possible. Keep no. of joints in reinforcement as
minimum as possible and avoid joint at point of maximum stress. Keep joints i.e. lap staggered
in adjacent bar not in same line.
Provide lap length in joint not less than 30 bar diameter.
Provide a clear distance of at least 01 inch between bars.
Maintain all reinforcement after being placed in position & as per specification & drawing in a
clean & undisturbed condition until completely embedded in concrete.
(All exposed reinforcing steel at construction joints shall be protected with a brush coat of neat
cement, mixed to a consistency of thick paint, within one week after the placing of the initial
