complete.
400 / 355 / 200 mm dia.
Welding
HDPE pipes are jointed by BUTT fusion welding method with the help of electric
heat (Mirror) and hydraulically operated welding jack.
Precautions
Since critical parameters for sound welding joint are temperature and pressure,
welding methods should insure proper temperature and pressure by using proper
equipments. The welding area has to be protected from adverse weather condition like
rain water, moisture, rough wind , dust and low ambient temperature (less than 50 C.)
Primary inspection of pipes should be done for ensuring defect free pipe before
striating welding.
Welding Procedure
Two ends of pipe to be welded are to be cut perpendicular to the pipe axis and
then cleaned and planed by using proper planning tool. The pipes are fixed in welding jack
and aligned properly in axial direction. The pipes then are pressed against a hot plate
(Called heating mirror or s imply mirror) till a bead of molten material is formed. The
mirror is electrically heated by in-built electric resistance heating coil. The heating
should be uniform all around mirror plate on both sides. The mirror should be provided
with a temperature control service so that during welding the surface temperature is
7|Page
automatically maintained within the required limit i.e. 200 + 100 C. Proper Teflon cloth
covering should be provided on mirror surface to avoid sticking of melted HDPE
materials on plate surface.
After attaining the welding temperature of 200 C on mirror surface the pipe
ends are simultaneously brought in contact with the heating surface of mirror. This is
done by using hydraulically operated welding jack. Initial contact pressure is applied
which is maintained till the uniform ring of molten bead is achieved. Then the contact
pressure is reduced until proper fusion takes place.
After proper fusion, the welding mirror is removed carefully without damaging
the head. The time of removal of the mirror should be as short as possible. After
removal of mirror, pipe ends are brought immediately to contact with each other under
initial welding pressure which is gradually increased to final welding pressure. This
pressure depends on the total welding surface of pipe.
The final welding pressure is maintained to be applied till the joint is cooled
down to ambient temperature naturally. Artificial cooling such as wrapping with wet
cloth, spraying of water etc. are not allowed.
Inspection of Joints.:
The visual inspection of each joint should be done to ensure correct bead
formation. Weld joint should be checked for axial alignment of welded pipes.
Laying of Pipes:
The required length of HDPE pipes are made alongside the trench. The pipe is
lowered into the trench carefully avoiding damage to pipe and joints.
Trench:
Since the welding of pipe is done outside of trench, the width of trench should
be kept as minimum as possible, Normally pipe O.D. plus 300 mm width should be
sufficient for laying. The depth of trench will be as per the requirement of client
depending on level survey (L.S.) Here in our case the earth cover of average 1.2 mtr. On
top of pipe is to be provided. Hence the depth of trench will be pipe O.D. plus 1.2 mtr.
The trench should be made as straight as possible wherever necessary, the
trench can be made with smooth curve but not below allowed bending radius of HDPE
pipe, which is 25 times of O.D.
The bottom of trench should be properly dressed and made free from any sharp
objects.
Laying and Backfilling:
Laying of pipe lengths to be done carefully from one end without giving any
impact on pipe. After laying of pipe, trench should backfilled with the layers of good
earth of dug soil as available. Extra soil will be embedded on trench which will be
compacted by curing with water.
Hydro Testing:
The pipeline to be tested with fitted with metal blind flange at both ends with
the help of sub end (pipe end), These blind flanges are fitted with necessary
arrangement for supplying water into pipeline, air valve for air drain and pressure guage.
After filling the water into pipeline, pressurized water is supplied with the help of
pressure pump. When the required test pressure (i.e. 6 kg/cm2 in our case) is achieved,
pressure pump is stopped and valve is closed.
This pressure will be kept for 30 minutes and there should not be any drastic
drop in pressure whole pipeline route under test is inspected for checking any leakage.
8|Page
If there is no leakage, the pressure of 6 kg/cm2 will remain same and it test is believed
to be satisfactory. Please note that there could be slight deep in pressure due to
leakage from flange / valve or due to expansion of HDPE pipe under pressure. This drop
upto 0.5 kg/cm2 is normally not considered.
Connection of HDPE to M.S.pipe
This connection will be made by using metal flanged. We shall provide flange at
the end of HDPE pipe by using HDPE stub end. Matching flange connection from M.S.Pipe
will be made by M.S. Pipe agency to which flange of HDPE pipe line will be connected by
bolting and proper rubber gasket packing.
Air Valve fixing :
Suitable size of air valve will be installed on HDPE with the help of metallic
saddle. Metallic flange for air valve will be provided on upper part of saddle for fixing
air valve. Valve chamber of suitable size with top cover will be made for each air valve.

cement used be 330 / Kg./M³ of the concrete produced.
(i) Ordinary cement concrete :
Ordinary cement concrete is that cement concrete which is not required to be
designed by preliminary test and is produced by mixing the various ingredients of
concrete designated below shall generally consist of quantities as given in the table
below per bag of cement.

The proportion of fine aggregate to coarse aggregate for the various mixers
listed above shall generally be 1:2 by volume but variation from 1:1.5 to 1:3 depending
upon the grading of the aggregates may be permitted by the Engineer, the total quantity
of fine and coarse aggregates, however shall not in any case exceed the quantity in the
above table 1. For the purpose of this tender the ordinary concrete specified by
strengths as m100, m150, m200, shall be considered to be equivalent to nominal mixes
specified as 1:3:6, 1:2:4 and 1:1.5:3 respectively, and any mention to these mixes under
one system of nomenclature the strength requirements for 28 days and 7 days test
under both the system of nomenclature shall be in conformity with those in table(2) &
(3) given here in after. The cement concrete shall be tested for compressive strength
at the age of 28 days on 15 cm. cubes in accordance with the latest I.S. 516 – 1959.
Methods of test for strength of concrete and the strengths developed for all
types of concrete shall not be less than those given in table – 2.

For quick results, the contractors shall carry out compression tests on
representative 15cm. cubes cast in accordance with relevant I.S. at 7 days in addition to
the normal 28 days compressive strength. The 7 days strength of the various concrete
mixes shall not be less than the values given in the Table No.3 below.
However the 28 days compressive strength along shall be the criterion for
acceptance or rejection of the concrete, unless the Engineer is satisfied of the relation
between the 7 days compressive strength and the 28days compressive strength,
established by carrying out a number of tests in which case he may relax the test
frequency of 28 days compressive strength specified here in after.

All test strength specified above are exclusively for 15cm. size cubes & they
shall be adequately modified to suit the requirement of 15cm. dia. and 30cm. long
cylinder, the strength values obtained should be multiplied by 1.25 to obtain the
equivalent cube strength.
Controlled concrete :
Controlled concrete when used in plain and reinforced concrete structure shall
be in grades M100, M150, M200, M250, M300 and M400. In controlled concrete the
determination of the proportions of cement, aggregate and water to attain the required
strength shall be made with the preliminary test by designing the concrete mix.
The concrete mix shall be designed to have an average strength corresponding
to the values specified for preliminary tests in Table – 4. The proportions chosen should
be such that the concrete is of adequate workability for the conditions prevailing on the
work in question, and can be properly compacted with the means available.
The maximum total quantity of aggregate by weight per 50kg of cement shall
not exceed 450kg except where otherwise specifically permitted by the Engineer.
Except where it can be shown to the satisfaction of the Engineer that supply
of properly graded aggregate of uniform quality can be maintained over the period of
work, the grading of aggregate in different sizes and blending them in the right
proportions when required, the different sizes being stocked in separate stock piles.
The material should be stock piled for several hours preferably a day before use. The
material should of coarse and fine aggregate should be checked as frequently as
possible, the frequency for a given job of being determined by the Engineer, to ensure
that the suppliers are maintaining the grading uniform with that of the samples used in
the preliminary tests.
In proportioning concrete, the quantity of both cement and aggregate should
be determined by weights. Where the weight of cement is determined by accepting the
maker’s weight per bag, reasonable number of bags should be weighted separately to
check the net weight where the cement is weighed on the site and not in the bags it
45 | P a g e
should be weighed separately from the aggregate. Water should be either measured by
volume in calibrated tanks or weighed. All measuring equipment should be maintained in a
clean serviceable condition, and their accuracy periodically checked.
It is most important to maintain the water cement ratio constant at its
correct value, to this end determination of moisture contents in both fine and coarse
aggregates should be made as frequently as possible the frequency for a given job being
determined by the Engineer according to weather conditions. The amount of the added
water should be adjusted to compensate for any observed variation in the aggregate,
IS:2386 – (Part.III) 1963 Methods of tests for aggregates for concrete Part – III
specific gravity, density voids, absorption and bulking may be referred to. To allow for
the variation in weight of aggregate due to variation in moisture content, suitable
adjustment in the weight of aggregate should also be made.
No substitution in materials used on the work or alternations in the
established proportions, except as permitted in the above paragraph, shall be made
without additional tests to show that the quality and strength of concrete are
satisfactory.
Workability of the concrete should be checked at frequent intervals. The
slump test, or where facilities exist, the compacting factor test in accordance with
I.S. : 1199 –1959 Method of sampling and analysis of concrete may be adopted for this
purpose.
A competent person should be employed whose first duty will be to supervise
all stages in the preparation and placing of the concrete. All works test specimens should
be made and site test carried out under his direct supervision in order to get a
relatively quicker idea of the quality of concrete or compressive strength test at 7 days
may be carried out in addition to 28 days compressive strength test. In all cases the 28
days compressive strength specified in table –4 should alone be the criterion for the
acceptance or rejection of the concrete. If however, from tests carried in a particular
job over a reasonably long period it has been established to the satisfaction of the
Engineer that a suitable ratio between 28 days compressive strength and compressive
strength at 7 days may be accepted, the Engineer may suitably relax the frequency of
28 days compressive strength test specified in table – 8, provided the expected
strength values at the specified early age are consistently met. For this purpose the
value given in table – 5 may taken for general guidance in the case of concrete made of
ordinary cement. For detailed specification regarding preliminary and work test relevant
paragraphs are reproduced from I.S :1199 – 1959. Method of test for strength of
concrete and I.S. 516 – 1959 Methods as sampling and analysis of concrete as given

Note :
(A) Preliminary test :
A test conducted in a laboratory on the trial mix concrete produced in the
laboratory with the object of :
(1) Designing a concrete mix before the actual concreting operation start.
(2) Determining the adjustment required in the design mix when there is a change
in the materials used during the execution of work or
(3) Verifying the strength of concrete mix.
(B) Work Test :
A test conducted either in the field or in a laboratory on the specimens made
on the works out of the concrete being used on the works.
Note :
Size of cubes :
In the works test with the approval of the Engineer 10cm cubes may be used in
place of 15cm cubes provided the maximum nominal size of aggregate does not exceed
20mm. Even the use of 15cm cubes should normally be restricted to concrete having a
maximum nominal size of aggregate not exceeding 40mm. where concrete with aggregate
larger than 40mm is required to be tested, the size of cubes should be specified by the
Engineer keeping in view that generally the length of side of the cubes should be about
four times the maximum nominal size of aggregate in the concrete constituting the cube
specimen.
Strength in relation to size of the cubes :
where 10cm cubes are used the values obtained from tests on 10cm cube shall
be reduced to the extent established by comparative preliminary tests, with 10 & 15 cm
cubes in the absence of such comparative tests by 10% of the value determined from
the test, in order to give the equivalent strength for 15 cm cubes where cubes larger
than 15 cm are adopted, generally no modification is necessary unless otherwise
specified by the Engineer.
Note 3 :Cylinder Strength
Comparative strength tests may, with the approval of the Engineer be
conducted on 15cm diameter and 30cm high cylinders in accordance with I.S 516-1959
instead on cubes. Where cylinder strength modified according to the formula.
Minimum cylinder compressive strength required = 0.8 compressive strength
specified for 15 cm cubes.
The central Road Research Institute, New Delhi has carried tests with a view
to establishing a relation between water – cement ratio and the compressive strength of
concrete using ordinary Portland cements manufactured in the country in accordance
with I.S.:269-1976 ordinary and low heat Portland cement.
As a result of these, it has been considered advisable to give graphs showing
the relationships between the compressive strength of the concrete mixes with
47 | P a g e
different water cement ratios and the seven days compressive strength of cement
tested in accordance with I.S.:269 – 1976. The Road Research Institute graphs (design

(6) Procedure and Guidance for testing for concrete
Preliminary Test :
Preliminary test cubes or cylinders for controlled concrete shall be made in the
laboratory prior to the commencement of the work in the manner and at frequencies laid
down in the latest I.S.:456 – 1978 Code of practice for plain and reinforced concrete.
The testing shall be carried out at the GERI laboratory at Baroda or at any other
approved laboratory at contractor’s cost.
Work Test :
During concreting operations, samples of concrete as placed in the work shall be
taken every day and a set of 6 cubes or cylinders their compressive strength. The
consistency (slump) test shall also be made and the slump recorded.
All concrete cubes or cylinders shall be tested for compressive strengths as
specified in I.S 456 and 516 at the field testing laboratory of at any approved material
testing laboratory. The above specifications cover concrete mixes of grades m100 and
above ordinarily it is not necessary to test the compressive strengths of mix grade
m100 as it is generally used for nonstructural purposes. However where this mix (M 100)
is used extensively on works (i.e. more than 75 m³ in one work) it shall be tested in the
same manner as other grades of concrete used for structural purpose. The minimum
strengths of various grades of concrete both at the age of 7 days and 28 days are given
in table 2 & 3.
In the case of concrete of mix m 150 and above the Engineer may not insist on
the testing of concrete if the quantity of concrete, if the quantity of concrete to be
paid on any particularly day is less than 10cm, if however the quantity exceeds 10cm.
test specimens must be taken and sent to the field testing laboratory or at any
approved laboratory for testing.
6 specimens are made for every sample and three of them tested for 7 days
strengths as mentioned earlier the 28 days strengths of concrete shall along form the
criterion for acceptance or rejection of the concrete.
With this point in view the concrete samples shall be tested both for 7 days
strength as well as 28 days strength at the start of the work and continued till the
Engineer is satisfied that a proper relation between the 7 days compressive and the 28
days compressive strength is established in which case be may decide to relax the
frequency if testing the concrete cubes for the 28 days compressive strength.
49 | P a g e
If the average strength of specimen tested at the age of 7 days 28 days is
not less than the strength specified in table 2 & 3, then the test shall be considered
that only out of 3 consecutive tests may give value less than specified strength but not
less than 90% of the specified strength.
If the tests are unsatisfactory, the contractors shall take immediate steps and
carry out remedial measures as may be directed by the Engineer in their own modules.
The contractors shall pay usual testing fees carried out in the approved laboratory.
These fees may vary from should arrange to bring their own moulds for taking samples.
Consistency and slump test :
The workability of concrete shall be checked at frequent intervals. The slump
test shall be carried out in accordance with the standard method given under. I.S.
specification mentioned above. The slump shall be as less as practicable consistent with
the efficient working and compacting of concrete. The slump shall not exceed 64mm but
the Engineer may, under exceptional conditions, permit greater slump up to a limit of
150mm. The standard consistency test shall be applied at least once in a day while the
concreting is in progress.
Moisture contents in the Aggregates :
The moisture contents in the aggregates shall be determined in the field in
accordance with the latest I.S. No. 2386 – 1963 (Part-3). In methods of tests for
aggregates for concrete. Method of test for aggregates for concrete.
Unit weight of concrete

It shall be determined by placing representative samples of concrete in a unit
measure capacity and vibrating it externally by small vibrator or hand compacting to
represent actual placing condition. The top of the concrete shall then be made truly
flush with the top of the mould and the weight of concrete per cum determined after
curing and drying. The weight of dry concrete shall not be less than 2.4 tones per cum. A
complete record regarding various tests carried out at site and in the laboratory shall
be kept by the Engineer. The contractors shall provide at their own cost all facilities for
labour, material, transport etc. required for the proper execution of the above tests.
Any concrete which does not comply with the above requirements shall be liable
for rejection by the Engineer.
Procedure and guidance for testing of concrete.

pointed at the lower end.
Compacting:-
The test specimens shall be made as soon as practicable after mixing, and in
such a way as to produce full compaction of the concrete with neither segregation nor
excessive laitance. The concrete shall be filled in to the mould in layers approx. 5 cm
deep. In placing each scoop full of concrete, the scoop shall be moved around the top
edge of the mould as the concert within the mould. Each layer shall be compacted either
by hand or by vibration as described below
After the top layer has been compacted, the surface of the concrete shall be
finished level with the top of the mould using a trowel and covered with a glass or metal
plate to prevent evaporation.
(I) When compacting by hand, the standard tamping bar shall be used and the
storks of the bar shall be distributed in a uniform manner over the cross section of the
mould. The number of the strokes per layer required to produce specified conditions will
very according to the type of concrete. For cubical specimens in no case shall concrete

The ends of all cylindrical test specimens that are note plane within 0.05mm
shall be capped. Capped surfaces shall not depart from a plane by more than 0.05 and
shall be approx. at right angles to the axis of the specimens. Caps shall be made thin as
practicable and shall not flow or fracture when the specimen is tested. Capping shall be
carried out according to one of the following methods.
(I) Neat cement :
Test cylinders may be capped with a thin layer of stiff, neat Portland cement
paste after the concrete has ceased setting in the moulds, generally for two to four
hours or more after molding. The cap shall be formed by means of glass plate not less
than 6.5mm. in thickness or a machined metal plate not less than 13mm. in thickness and
having a maximum surface dimensions atleast 25mm larger than the diameter of the
mould, it shall be worked on the cement paste until its lower surface rests on the top of
the mould. The cement coping shall be mixed to a stiff paste for about two to four hours
before it is to be used in order to avoid the tendency of the cap to shrink. Adhesion of
late paste to the capping may be avoided by coating the plate with a thin coat oil or
grease.
(II) Sulphur :
Just prior to testing, the cylindrical specimens may be capped with a sulphur
mixture consisting or 1 part sulphur 2 to 3 parts of inert filler, such as fiercely. The
specimens shall be securely held in a special jig so that the caps formed have true plane
surfaces. Care shall be taken to ensure that the sulphur compound is not over heated as
it will not then develop the required compressive strength. Sulphur caps shall be allowed
to harden for atleast 2 hours before applying the load.
(III)Hard Plaster :
Just prior to testing, specimens may be capped with hard plaster having a
compressive strength of atleast 420 kg/sq. cm. in one hour. Such plasters are generally
available as proprietary material. The cap shall be formed by means of a glass plate not
less than 13mm. in thickness, having a minimum surface dimensions at least 25mm. larger
than the diameter of the mould. The glass plate shall be lightly coated with oil to avoid
sticking.
Note:
Ordinary plaster will not serve the purpose of the capping materials due to its
low compressive strength.
(IV) As soon as possible after the concrete is mixed, a mortar shall be gauged using a
cement similar to that used in the concrete and sand which passes IS Sieve 30 but is
retained on IS Sieve 15. The mortar shall have a water cement ratio not higher than
that of the concrete of which the specimen is made, and shall be of stiff consistencies.
If an excessively wet mix of concrete is being tested, any free water which has
collected on the surface of the specimen shall be removed with a sponge, blotting paper
or other suitable absorbent material before the cap is formed. The mortar shall then be
applied firmly and compacted with a towed to a slightly convex surface above the edges
of the mould, after which the capping plate shall be pressed sown on the cap with a
rotary motion until it makes complete contact with the rim of the mould. The plate shall
be left in position until the specimen is removed from the mould.
(V) Curing :
53 | P a g e
(a) The test specimens shall be stored in a place free from vibration, in moist air at
a temperature of 27 +- 20 C for 24 hours +- ½ from the time of addition of water to the
dry ingredients. After this period, the specimens shall be marked and removed from the
mould and, unless required for test within 24 hours, immediately submerged in clean,
fresh water or saturated lime solution in which the specimens are submerged shall be
renewed every day and shall be maintained at a temperature of 27oC +/- 20oC. The
specimens shall not be allowed to become dry at any time until they have been tested.
(b)Making and curing compression test specimen in the field.
The procedure for making and curing compression test specimens of concrete
sample during the progress of construction where the nominal maximum size of the
aggregate does not exceed 38mm. Size of test specimen, apparatus to be used and
procedure to prepare specimens shall be the same as specified earlier.
Apparatus :
Testing Machine :
The testing machine may be any reliable type of sufficient capacity for the
tests and cable of applying the load at the rate specified in 5.5. The permissible error
shall be not greater than +2 percent of the maximum load. The testing machine shall be
equipped with two steel bearing plates (preferably the one that normally will bear on the
upper surface of the specimen) shall be fitted with a ball seating in the form of portion
of a sphere, the center of which coincides with the central points of the face of the
plate. The other compression plate shall be plain rigid bearing block.
The bearing faces of both plates shall be atleast as large as and preferably
larger than the nominal size of the specimen to which the load is applied. The bearing
surface of the plates, when new, shall not depart from a plane by more than 0.01m at any
point, and they shall be maintained with a permissible variation limit of 0.02mm. The
movable portion of the spherically seated compression plate shall be held on the
spherical seat, but the design shall be such that the bearing face can be rotated freely
and tilted through shall angles in any direction.
AGE TEST :
Tests shall be made at recognized ages of the test specimens, the most usual
being 7 and 28 days. Ages of 13 weeks and one year are recommended if tests at
greater ages are required. Where necessary to obtain the early strengths, tests may be
made at the ages 24 hours +/- ½ hour and 72 hours +/- 2 hours. The ages shall be
calculated from the time of addition of water to the dry ingredients.
Number of specimens :
At least three specimens preferably from different batches shall be made for
testing at each selected age.
Note :
When a full investigation is being carried out it is advisable for three separate
batches to be made for given variable. An equal number of specimens for each variable
should be made.
Procedure :
Specimens stored in water shall be tested immediately on removal from the
water and while they are still in the wet condition. Surface water and grit shall be wiped
off the specimens and projecting fins removed. Specimens when received dry shall be
kept in water for 24 hours before they are taken for testing. The dimensions of the
specimens to the nearest 0.2mm and their weight shall be noted before testing.
54 | P a g e
Placing the specimens in the Testing Machine :
The bearing surface of the testing machine shall be wiped clean and loose sand
or other material removed from the surface of the specimen which are to be in contact
with the load shall be applied to opposite sides of the cubes as cast, that is not to the
top & bottom, the axis of the specimen shall be carefully aligned with the center of
thrust of the spherically seated plate. No packing shall be used between the faces of
the test specimen and steel plate of the testing machine. As the spherically seated
block is brought to bear on the specimen, the load shall be applied without shock and
increased continuously at a rate of approximately 140 kg/sq. cm/min. until the resistance
of the specimen to the increasing load breaks down and no greater load can be sustained.
The maximum load applied to the specimen shall then be recorded and appearance of the
concrete and any unusual features in the type of failure shall be noted.
CALCULATION :
The measured compressive strength of the specimen shall be calculated by
dividing the maximum load to the specimen during the test by the sections (see also
4.5.1 of IS 1199-1959)methods of sampling and analysis of concrete and shall be
expressed to the nearest Kg./sq.cm. Average of three values shall be taken as per the
representative of the batch provided the individual variation is not more than the +/-
15% of the average. A correct factor according to the height / diameter ratio of the
specimen after copping shall be obtained from the curve shown in fig. 1. The product of
this correction factor and the measured compressive strength shall be known as
corrected compressive strength. This being the equivalent cube strength of the
concrete shall be determined by multiplying the corrected strength by 5 / 4 .
Report :
The following information shall be included in the report on each test specimen.

unusual.
(K) Sampling of Fresh concrete in the Field.
This method specifies the procedure to be followed in the field for obtaining
representative samples of fresh concrete directly from the mixer or from concrete at
the time and place of deposition.
Sample :
The composite sample shall be truly representative of the batch and shall not
less than 0.02mm in volume. It shall be composed of a mixture of portions taken from
different points in the batch. When continuous mixers used a batch shall be regarded as
the discharge from the mixture during the minute.
Procedure :
From Mixers :
55 | P a g e
At least three approximately equal sample increments totaling (2m shall be
taken from a batch during its discharge and each sample increment shall be collected by
passing a clean and dry receptacle across the stream of concrete. This receptacle shall
be constructed of non absorbent material, preferably of metal and shall be such that
the sample retained is not segregated. A flat surface without retaining sides will not
fulfill this purpose. Where there sample increments are taken they shall be taken at
about the time when one-quarter on half and there quarters of the concrete have been
discharged from the mixer and if marathon three are taken they shall be at
corresponding shorter, but equally spaced, intervals.
From concrete at the Time and place of Deposition :
The sample shall be taken while a batch of concrete is being or immediately
after it has been, discharged on the site. The sample shall be collected from not less
than five well – distributed positions, avoiding the edges of the mass where segregation
may have occurred.
Mixing the composite sample :
The composite sample obtained by either of the methods described above, shall
be mixed on a non-absorbent base either in such a manner as to ensure uniformity. The
sample thus obtained shall be used immediately for the purpose of carrying tests. Care
shall be taken to protect the sample from the weather.
Recording of samples :
The following information regarding the sample shall be recorded
(A) Date and time of sampling
(B) Method of sampling
(C) Mix proportions (Proportion of ingredients including water, admixtures, etc.
(D) Mixtures from which delivered (if more than one issued)
(E) The location of the sampled batch after placing, and
(F) Temperature and weather conditions
Slump Test:
The method of test specified the procedure to be assorted, either in the
laboratory or during the progress of work in the field, for determining, by the slump
test, the consistency, of concrete where the nominal maximum size of the aggregate
does not exceed 38mm.
(A) Mould :
The mould for the test specimen shall be in the form of the frustum of a cone
having the following internal dimensions :
Cm
Bottom diameter 20
Top diameter 10
Height 30
The mould shall be constructed of metal (brass of aluminum shall not be used)
of at least 1.6mm.(or16 BC) thickness and the top and bottom shall be open and at right
angle to the axis of the cone. The mould shall have a smooth internal surface. It shall be
provided with suitable foot pieces and also handles to facilitate lifting it from the
molded concrete tests specimen in vertical direction as required by the test. A mould
provide with a suitable guide attachment may be used.
(B)Temping rod :
56 | P a g e
The tamping rod shall be of steel or other suitable material, 16mm in diameter,
0.6m long and rounded at one end.
Note :
To facilitate the lifting of the mould in a vertical direction. It is recommended
that suitable guide attachment be provided any rivets used in the construction of the
mould shall be countersunk flush on the inside of the cone. Attachments should
preferably be welded to the mould.
Sampling :
If this test is being carried out in the field, the sample of freshly mixed
concrete shall be obtained as described in 3. In the case of concrete containing
aggregate of maximum size more than 38mm. the concrete shall be wet-sieved through
1.5 in screen to exclude aggregate particles bigger than 38mm.
Procedure :
The internal surface of the mould shall be thoroughly cleaned and free from
superfluous moisture and set concrete before commencing the test. The mould shall be
placed as a carefully leveled metal plate, the mould being firmly held in place while it is
being filled.
The mould shall be filled in four layers, each approximately one-quarter of the
height of the height of the mould. Each layer shall be temped with twenty-five strokes
of the rounded end of the tempering rod. The strokes shall be distributed in uniform
manner over the cross-section of the Mould and for the second and subsequent layers
shall penetrate into the underlying layer. The bottom layer shall be temped throughout
its depth. After the top layer has been rodded, the concrete shall be shrunk off level
out between with a trowel or the temping rod, so that the mould is exactly filled. Any
mortar which may be leaked out between the mould and the base plate shall be cleaned
away. The mould shall be removed from the concrete immediately by raising it slowly
And carefully in a vertical direction. This allows the concrete to subside and the
slump shall be measured immediately by determining the difference between the height
of the mould that of the highest point of the specimen being tested. The above
operations shall be carried out at a plate free from vibration or shock and within a
period of two minutes after sampling.
Slump :
The slump measured shall be recorded in terms of millimeters of subsidence of
the specimen during the test. Any slump specimen which collapses or shears off laterally
gives incorrect result and if this occurs the test shall be repeated with another sample.
If in the repeat test also, the specimen should shear, the slump be measured and the
fact that the specimen sheared, shall be recorded.
Note :
Some indication of the cohesiveness and workability of the mix can be obtained,
if after the slump measurement has been completed, the side of the concrete is tapped
gently with the tamping rod, a well proportioned concrete which has an appreciable slump
will gradually slump further but if the mix has been badly proportioned, it is likely to fall
apart.
Gauge Boxes :
Gauge boxes of approved type shall be used for measuring sand and coarse
aggregates in required proportion whenever concrete is allowed to be prepared by
mixing the aggregates on volumetric basis. Such boxes shall be of seasoned timber or
57 | P a g e
steel and shall be of such size as and shape and shall be used in such a manner as to
enable the proportion of the material to be checked readily. The cement used in
concrete however, shall not be used by measuring it in gauge boxes but it shall be
measured by weight whatever may be the type of concrete.
Storage of materials :
Cement, fine and coarse aggregates shall be stored separately at the site of
work in such manner as to prevent any deterioration or contamination or admixture of
foreign materials. Any material which has been damaged or is considered defective by
the Engineer shall not be used on the works and shall be removed immediately from the
site of work.
ITEMWISE SPECIFICATION
DETAILED SPECIFICATION :
Detailed specification given here shall be treated as extension or partial

modifications to the specifications of respective items given in the volume of
specification published by Gujarat Water Supply and Sewerage G. W. S. & S. Board.
C.C.M. 100 BASE CONCRETE FOR LEVELLING COARSE :
For all practical purpose and in absence of proportioning of concrete on base

of preliminarily tests, C.c. 1:3:6 may be provided as a leveling course i.e. one part to
cement three parts of sand and six parts of black trap kapachi. Specification for
various ingredients of concrete such as sand, cement, kapachi, water shall be as these
given in specification for C.Cm.15.
While laying base concrete for leveling course the concrete shall not be
dumped from above but shall be carried out to the bottom and gently placed from a
height not exceeding 1.5 meter. If concrete is transported by chutes, then the same
shall be remixed at bottom of chutes to overcome any segregation that might have
occurred.
C.C. M. 150/ M. 200/ M. 250 :
As far as possible the preparation of various ingredients of concrete shall be

determined on the bases of preliminary tests as per ISS using the actual materials to
be used on site. However in absence of such preliminary tests the volumetric proportion
of 1;2:4 may be adopted i.e. one part to cement, two parts of sand and four parts of
Kapachi, water just sufficient to attain desired workability may be added. However the
aim while proportioning should be to fix the proportion of aggregation and water cement
ratio shall be always sufficiently low enough to get desired strength.
C.C. M 200 & M:250 :
Specification for C.C. M. 200 & M:250 shall be same as those for C.C.M.150
except that grade of concrete to be produce shall be M- 200. If arbitrary volumetric
proportioning is to be followed then the proportion of cement, sand and kapachi shall be
1:1/2:3 respectively. Since M – 200 mix is normally used in water retaining parts of
container where the aim is not to get dense. Strong and watertight concrete, special
care shall be exercised in controlling proportion of aggregate, water cement ratio,
compaction and curing
58 | P a g e
Manufacture and placement of concert
(1) Batching
Whether controlled concrete or ordinary concrete is to be mixed the quantity
of cement shall be determined by weight if the makers weight per bag is to be used the
same shall be certified by weighing separately a reasonable number of bags.
Whenever direct use of bagged cement is allowed, one jute bag of cement shall
be considered to contain 50kg. of net weight of cement. This shall, however be verified
at site by weighting. For which the contractors shall provide an accurate weighing
apparatus on work site.
Having once designed the mix, the Engineer may permit further mixing of the
aggregate to be used done on volumetric basis for a particular batch stock of
aggregates which has been used in the design of the mix.
The water shall be either measured by the volume in calibrated tanks or
weighed, in controlled concrete, the quantity of fine and coarse aggregates shall be
determined by weight. While in ordinary concrete, they may be determined by volume.
For volumetric measurements gauge boxes used for approved type as described earlier
shall be used for measuring the fine and coarse aggregates in required proportion.
(ii) Mixing of concrete :
The concrete shall be mixed in a mechanical and/or weight mixer of adequate
capacity. The ingredients shall be added to each batch of mix by weight, volume or both
as the case may be so as to ensure accurate proportioning, water for each batch of
concrete shall be measured in a standard container so as to ensure the same amount of
water being used each time and shall be added prior to during and following mixer
charging operation. The mixing of each batch shall be done for a period of not less than
two minutes or shall continue until there is a uniform distribution of material, having the
mass uniform in colour and consistency. Every care shall be taken to ensure that there is
no segregation while unloading the mixer.
Mixing shall be done as near the place of placement as possible and adequate
shed shall be constructed over the mixer to protect the discharged concrete from the
effect of direct sun rays small additional amount of water, if necessary, shall be allowed
to be added to the mixer to compensate for any anticipated evaporation losses during
transport. The quantity of water to be added shall be sufficient to allow a workable mix
being made tamped and vibrated into all parts of the mould and between the
reinforcement.
Permission for starting the concrete work :
The contractors shall get the surface whether concrete of rock or form work
etc. previously approved by the Engineer, who shall, then issue the permission for
starting the work. Any concrete work done without such permission shall be cut and
removed at the cost of contractors.
No concreting shall be started unless the surface of the foundation is inspected
and approved by the Engineer as stated above. If concreting is to be done on concrete
shall cleaned with wire brushed and all laitance removed to expose the original surface

cement mortar (1:2) before laying fresh concrete.
Transporting and depositing concrete :
Concrete shall be placed within 30 minutes after mixing and shall be
transported from the mixer to its final placement as rapidly as practicable, taking care
59 | P a g e
to see that no segregation of loss of ingredients takes place. In case segregation occurs

or working it along forms will not be permitted. Any concrete which before placement
has begun to set has become stiff shall be rejected.
Concrete shall be properly compacted by use of vibrators or by rotting and
spading as directed by the Engineer. Tamping as above shall be continued until all the
entrained air is removed and the concrete has become compacted and completely fills
the form. The sides of the formwork shall be gently tapped by spades during concreting.
All controlled concrete shall be invariably compacted by mechanical vibrators
irrespective of the positions. It shall be compacted by needle vibrator or screed
vibrator as the case may be and the work of vibrating the concrete by mechanical means
shall be paid for under the relevant item. Compacting by rotting or spading however shall
not be paid for separately and the rates for concrete shall be demeaned to cover the
cost thereof.
Internal type vibrators when used shall be inserted into the uncomplicated
concrete vertically and at regular intervals. Where the uncomplicated concrete is in a
layer above freshly compacted concrete. The vibrator shall be allowed to penetrate
vertically for a few cms. in to the previous layer. In no circumstances shall the
reinforcement or form work nor shall they be withdrawn quickly from the mass of
concrete but shall be drawn back slowly so as to leave no voids. Internal type vibrators
shall not be placed in the concrete in a random or haphazard manner not shall concrete
from one part of the work to another by means of the vibrator. The duration of
vibration shall be limited to that required to produce satisfactory compaction without
causing segregation. Vibration shall on no account be continued after water or excess
grout has appeared on the surface face.
Curing of concrete :
All concrete work shall be protected from direct rays of the sun. The exposed
surface shall be kept wet for a minimum period of 10 days or such longer periods as may
be directed by the Engineer. All concrete laid shall not be distributed and shall be
suitably protected from any injury, until completely set : particular care shall be taken
at all corners and edges of the members. All horizontal concrete surfaces shall be kept
constantly wet pounding or otherwise in the manner approved by the Engineer, till the
time of next pouring regardless of time. Concrete surfaces shall be cured either by
sprinkling or by spraying water or by adopting any other method to keep the areas moist.
Flat or vertical surfaces may be covered with damp gunny bags and watered frequently.
Water used for curing shall be clean and free from any excessive amount of silt, coloring
matter of other impurities which may stain the finished work. In order to ensure
adequate quantities of water for curing, the contractors shall make necessary
arrangements such as providing sufficient lengths of temporary pipelines of suitable
sizes, storage of water in tanks and / or use of blisters at their cost.
Defective concrete :
The defective concrete shall be cut out and the work reconstructed with fresh
concrete of required quality in the presence of the Engineer. The concrete thus cut out
shall not be re-used under any circumstances, should any concrete become permanently
damaged due to cracking or is broken or damaged from whatever cause, or should any
concrete be found defective in quality due to honey – combing or bad workmanship, it
60 | P a g e
shall be removed forthwith and replaced by concrete of required quality at the cost of
the contractors to the satisfaction of the Engineer.
The authority reserves the right to carry out any further test like electronic
ultrasonic tests and such other non-destructive test to verify. The quality of concrete
done by the contractor should it become to notice at that time that some work is
required to be redone, the same shall be attended to by the contractor at his own cost,
irrespective of the fact that the same has been passed and paid for.

with dry-pack mortar and where the surfaces has been damaged the tenderers /
contractor shall break out any loose, broken or cracked concrete or aggregate. The
concrete surrounding the hole shall be dried so as to leave a small amount of free water
on the surface.
The surface shall then be dusted lightly with ordinary Portland cement by
means of small dry brush until the whole surface that will come into contact with the
dry-pack mortar has been covered and darkened by absorption of the free water by
cement. Any dry cement in the hole shall be removed. The dry-pack material shall then
be placed and packed in layers having compacted thickness not greater than 15mm in
thickness the compaction shall be carried out by use of a hard-wood stick and a hammer
and shall extend over the full area of the layer, particular care being taken to compact
the dry-pack against the sides of the hole. After compaction the surface of each layer
shall be scratched before further loose material is added. The hole shall not be over
filled and the surface shall be finished by laying a hardwood block several times. Steel
finishing tools shall not be used and water shall not be added to facilitate finishing.
