e. Where / Soft/Loose soil, hard/dense soil, soft/disintegrated rock and hard rock
are mixed, the measurements of the entire quantity shall be made by methods
(a) and or (b) given above. The separate quantities of soft / loose soil and hard /
dense soil shall be worked out from the cross-section based on dead men or
tell-tales as mentioned in (d) in case of hard dense soil. The total quantity of soft
/ loose and hard dense soil shall then be deducted form the total excavation to
arrive at the total quantity of rock excavated. The rock quantities of soft /
disintegrated rock and hard rock excavated are worked out separately as in

Preferably tubular centering should be used.
17 of 408
3.2.3 Shuttering :
The timber used in shuttering shall not be so dry as to absorb water from
concrete and swell and bulge, nor so green or wet as to shrink after erection.
Kailwood or such other kind of timber, which is not affected appreciably by its
contract with water, shall be used. The timber shall be accurately sawn and
planed on the sides and the surface in contract with concrete. Wooden
formwork with sheet metal lining or steel plates stiffened by steel angles shall
also be permitted.
The chamfers, beveled edges and moulding shall be made in the form itself.
Openings for fan clamps and other fittings connected with services shall be
provided in the shuttering as directed by the site engineer.
As far as practicable, clamps shall be used to hold the forms together and use
of nails and spikes avoided. Where the use of nails is unavoidable there shall
be left projecting so that they can be easily drawn.
3.2.4 Surface treatment for shuttering :
The surfaces of timber shuttering that would come in contact with concrete shall
be well wetted and coated with soap solution before the concreting is done.
Soap solution for this purpose shall be prepared by dissolving yellow soap in
water to get the consistency of paint. Alternatively, a coat of raw linseed oil or
from oil of approved manufacture may be applied in place of soap solution. In
case of steel shuttering either soap solution or raw linseed oil shall be applied
after thoroughly cleaning the surface.
3.2.5 Camber
The shuttering for beams and slabs shall have camber (1 to 240) or as directed

SI 10262 – 1982(Revised) and shall be approved by Architects.
Water shall conform to IS 3025
Cement shall be cement conforming to IS 8112.
Aggregates shall be coarse stone aggregates shall conform to IS 383.

Fine shall be natural sand. It shall be hard, durable and chemically inert clean
and free from adherent coatings, organic matter, etc., and shall not contain any
appreciable amount of clay balls or pallets and harmful impurities e.g. Iron
pyrites, alkalies, salts, coal, mica, shale or similar laminated materials in such
form or in such quantities as to cause corrosion of metal or adversely affect the
hardening the strength, durability of the concrete.
The maximum content of the silt should not exceed 2%.
4.0.2 Batching:
To avoid confusion and error in batching, consideration should be given to using

smallest practical number of different concrete mixes, the quality of both cement
and aggregate shall be determined by mass; admixture, if solid, by mass; liquid
admixture may however be or measured by volume in calibrated tank (Refer IS
4925).
Ready – mixed concrete supplied by ready-mixed concrete plant shall be

preferred. For large and medium project sites the concrete shall be sourced
from ready-mixed concrete plants or from on site or of site batching and mixing
plants (Refer IS 4926).
If found necessary, it can be shown to the satisfaction of the Engineer-in-charge

that supply of properly graded aggregate of uniform quality can be maintained
over a period of work, the grading of aggregate should be controlled by
obtaining the coarse aggregate in different sizes and blending them in the right
proportions when required, the different sizes being stocked in separate stock-
19 of 408
piles. The material should be stock piled for several hours preferably a day
before use. The grading of coarse and fine aggregate should be checked as
frequently as possible, the frequency for a five being determined by the
Engineer-in-charge to ensure that the specified grading is maintained.
If required by the engineer-in-charge, the accuracy of the measuring equipment

shall be maintained within ± 2 percent of the quantity of cement being
measured and with ± 3 percent of the quantity of aggregate, admixtures and
water being measured.
Proportion / Type and grading of aggregates shall be made by that in such a
way so as to obtain densest possible concrete. All ingredients of the concrete
should be used by mass only.
The RMC supplier shall maintain the water – cement ratio constant as its
correct value. To this end, determination of moisture contents in both fine and
coarse aggregates shall be made as frequently as possible the frequency for a
given job being determined by the Engineer-in-charge according to weather
conditions. The amount of the added water shall be adjusted to compensate for
any content in the aggregates, IS 2386 (Part 3) shall be referred to. To allow for
the variation in mass of aggregate due to variation in their moisture content.
Suitable adjustments in the masses of aggregates shall also be made.
No substitutions in materials used on the work or alterations in the established

proportions shall be allowed.
4.0.3 Mixing :
Concrete shall be mixed in a mechanical mixer. The mixer should comply with
IS 1791 and IS 12119. The mixers shall be fitted with water measuring
(metering) devices. The mixing shall be continued until there is uniform
distribution of the materials and the mass is uniform in colour and consistency if
there is segregation after unloading from the mixer, the concrete should be
remixed.
For guidance, the mixing time shall be at least 2 minutes. For other types of
more efficient mixers, manufactured recommendations shall be followed.
Workability should be checked at frequent intervals (refer IS 1199).
Dosages of retarders, plasticisers, and superplasticisers shall be restricted to

0.5.1.0 and 2.0 percent respectively by weight of cementitious materials and
unless a higher value is agreed upon between the manufacturer and constructor
based on performance cost.
4.0.4 Formwork :
As given in concrete specifications, however the formwork shall in addition to

this shall be designed for extra vibration / impact/ point load if the RMC is laid
by the method of pumping.
4.0.5 Transporting, placing, compaction and curing
20 of 408
4.0.5.1 Transporting and handling
After mixing, concrete shall be transported to the formwork as rapidly as

possible by methods which will prevent the segregation or loss of any or the
ingredients or ingress of foreign matter or water and maintaining the required
workability.
During hot or cold weather, concrete shall be transported in deep containers

other suitable methods to reduce the loss of water by evaporation in hot
weather and heat loss in cold weather may also be adopted.
4.0.5.2 Placing :
The concrete shall be deposited as nearly as practicable in its final position to

avoid rehandling. The concrete shall be placed and compacted before initial
setting of concrete commences and should not be subsequently disturbed.
Methods of placing should be such as to preclude segregation. Care should be
taken to avoid displacement of reinforcement or movement of formwork. As a
general guidance, the maximum permissible free fall of concrete may be taken
as 1.5m.
4.0.5.3 Compaction.
Cement shall be thoroughly compacted and fully worked around the

reinforcement, around embedded fixtures and into corners of the formwork.
Concrete should be compacted using mechanical vibrators complying with IS

2505, IS 2506, IS 2514 and IS 4656. Over vibration and under vibration of
concrete are harmful and should be avoided. Vibration of very wet mixtures
should also be avoided.
Whenever vibration has to be applied externally the design of formwork and the
disposition of vibrators, should receive special consideration to ensure efficient
compaction and to avoid surface blemishes.
4.0.5.4 Curing
Curing is the process of preventing the loss of moisture from the concrete whilst
maintaining a satisfactory temperature regime. The prevention of moisture loss
from the concrete is particularly important if the water cement ratio is low, if the
cement has a high rate of strength development, if the concrete contains
granulated blast furnace slag or pulverized fuel ash. The curing regime should
also prevent the development of high temperature gradients within the concrete.
The rate of strength development at the early ages of concrete made with super
sulphated cement is significantly reduced at lower temperature. Super
sulphated super concrete is seriously affected by inadequate cleaning and the
surface has to be kept moist for at least 7 days.
4.0.5.5 Moist curing
21 of 408
Exposes surfaces of concrete shall be kept continuously in a damp or wet

condition by ponding or by covering with layer of sacking, canvas, hessian or
similar materials and kept constantly wet for at least 7 days from the date of
placing concrete in case of ordinary Portland cement and at least 10 days
where mineral admixture or blended cement are used. The period of curing
shall not be less than 10 days for concrete exposed to dry and hot weather
conditions, in the case of concrete where mineral admixture or blended cement
are used it is recommended that above minimum periods may be extended to
14 days.
4.0.5.6 Membrane Curing
Approved curing compounds may be used in lieu of moist curing with the
permission of Engineer-in-charge such compounds shall be applied to all
exposed surfaces of concrete as soon as possible after the concrete has set. In
permeable membrane such as polyethylene sheeting covering closely the
concrete surface shall also be used to provide effective barrier against
evaporation. The activity needs specific approval of the competent authority.
4.0.6 Construction Joints and Cold Joints :
Joints are a common source of weakness and therefore it is desirable to avoid

them. If this is not possible their number shall be minimized concreting shall be
carried out continuously upto construction joints, the position and arrangement
of which shall be indicated by the designer construction joints should comply
with IS 11817.
Construction joints shall be placed at accessible location to permit cleaning out
of laitance, cement slurry and unsound concrete in order to create rough /
uneven surface. It is recommended to clean out laitance and cement slurry by
using wire brush on the surface of joint immediately after initial setting of
concrete and to clean out the same immediately thereafter. The prepared
surface should be in clean saturated surface dry condition when fresh concrete
is placed, against it. In the case of construction joints at locations where the
previous pour has been cast against shuttering the recommended method of
obtaining a rough surface for the previously poured concrete is to expose the
aggregate with a high pressure water jet or any other appropriate means.
Fresh concrete should be thoroughly vibrated near construction joints so that

water from the new concrete flows between large aggregates and develop
proper bond with old concrete.
Where high shear resistance is required at the construction joints, shear keys
may be provided.
Sprayed curing membranes and release agents should be thoroughly removed

from the joint surface.
4.0.7 Supervision
It is exceedingly difficult and costly to alter concrete once placed. Hence
constant and strict supervision of all the items of construction is necessary
22 of 408
during the progress of the work, including the proportioning and mixing of
concrete. Supervision is also of extreme importance to check the reinforcement
and its placing before being covered.
Before any important operation, such as concreting or striping of formwork is

started adequate notice shall be given to the Engineer-in-charge.
4.1.0 Admixture
Admixture, if used shall comply with IS 9130. Previous experience with and data
on such materials should be considered in relation to the likely standards of
supervision and workmanship to the work being specified.
Admixture should not impair durability of concrete nor combine with the
constituent to form harmful compounds nor increase the risk of corrosion of
reinforcement.
The workability, compressive strength and the slump loss of concrete with and
without the use of admixtures shall be established during the trial mixes before
use of admixtures.
The relative density of liquid admixtures shall be checked for each drum
containing admixtures and compared with the specified value before
acceptance.
The chloride content of admixtures shall be independently tested for each batch
before acceptance.
4.2.0 Workability of concrete :
The concrete mix proportions chosen should be such that the contract is of
adequate workability for the placing conditions of the concrete and can properly
be compacted with the means available. Suggested ranges for workability of
concrete measured in accordance with IS 1119 as given below
Placing Conditions Degree of workability Slump (mm)

Note: For most of the placing conditions, internal vibrators (needle vibrators) are
suitable. The diameter of the needle shall be determined based on the density and
spacing of reinforcement bars and thickness of sections. For termite concrete,
vibrators are not required to be use.

follows:
a. By designing the concrete mix, such concrete shall be called “Design Mix
Concrete”.
b. By adopting nominal concrete mix such concrete shall be called nominal

concrete.
Design mix concrete is preferred to nominal mix. if design mix concrete cannot
be used for any reason on the work for grades of M20 or lower, nominal mixes
may be used with the permission of the Engineer-in-charge, which however is
likely to involve a higher cement content.

shall be approved by Architects within the limitations of parameters and other
stipulations lay down by IS standard.
The mix shall be designed to produce the grade of concrete having the required
workability and characteristic strength not less than appropriate values given
table. The target means strength not less than appropriate values given in table.
The target mean strength of concrete mix should be equal to the characteristic
strength plus 1.65 times of standard deviation.
Mix design done earlier not prior to one year may be considered adequate for
later work provided there is no change in source and the quality of the
materials.
4.3.4 Standard Deviation
The standard deviation of each grade of concrete shall be calculated if required

by the competent authority of CLIENT – separately.
Standard deviation based on test strength of sample:
a. Number of test results of samples. The total number of test strength of

samples required to constitute an acceptable record for calculation of
standard deviation shall be not less than 30. Attempts should be made to
obtain the 30 samples, as early as possible, when a mix is used for the first
time.
b. In case of significant changes in concrete – when significant changes are

made in the production of concrete batches (for example changes in the
materials used, mix design equipment of technical control), the standard
deviation value shall be separately calculated for such batches of concrete.
c. Standard deviation to be brought up to date- The calculation of the standard

deviation shall be brought up to date after every change of mix design.
4.3.5 Assumed standard deviation
Where sufficient test results for a particular grade of concrete are not available
the value of standard deviation given in table of IS :456 (revised) may be
assumed for design of mix in the first instance. As soon as the results of
samples are available, actual calculated standard deviation shall be used and
the mix design properly.
25 of 408
However, when adequate past records for a similar grade exists and justified to
the designer a value of standard deviation different from that shown in the table
IS: 456 (revised), it shall be permissible to use the value.

results complies with the appropriate limits in col2 of table 11 of IS 456
(revised).
b. Any individual test result complies with the table 11 col 3 to IS 456
(revised).
4.3.6.1 Quantity of concrete represented by strength test result :
The quantity of concrete represented by a group of four consecutive test results

shall include the batches from which the first and last samples were taken
together with all intervening batches.
For the individual test results requirements given in IS: 456 (revised) above,
only the particular batch from which the sample was taken shall be at risk.
Where the mean rate of sampling is not specified, the maximum quantity of
concrete that four consecutive test results shall be limited to 60 cum.
If the concrete is deemed not to comply pursuant to the above, the structural
adequacy of the parts affected shall be investigated and any consequential
action as needed shall be taken.
Concrete of each grade shall be assessed separately.

Concrete is liable to be rejected if it is porous or honey combed, its placing has
been interrupted without providing a proper construction joint, the reinforcement

6.14.17 Block Work- Construction Practice

6.14.17.1 General :
6.14.17.1 Introduction :
Blocks are either hollow or solid. Generally they are of light weight compared to
bricks. Concrete blocks to IS 2185 (Part 1) : 1979 may be used for both load bearing
and non-load bearing walls. The wall thickness will vary.
For high thermal insulation, cavity walls having inner leaf of light weight concrete
blocks to IS 2185 (Part 2) : 1983 may be used. Each leaf of cavity shall not be less
than 100 mm.
Autoclave cellular concrete blocks to IS 2185 (Part 3) : 1984 shall not be used for
foundations and for masonry below damp-proof course.
6.14.17.2 Mortar :-
6.14.17.2.1 Hollow concrete blocks :
Hollow concrete blocks shall be embedded with a mortar which is relatively weaker
than the mix used for making blocks in order to avoid formation of cracks. A rich or
strong mortar tends to make a wall too rigid thus localizing the effects of movements
due to temperature and moisture variations, resulting in cracking of blocks. The
recommended proportion of mortar measured by volume is given in Table 3

41 of 408
6.14.17.2.3 Concrete
Concrete used for filling hollow concrete block masonry when reinforced shall be 1
cement, 2 ½ sand and 3 coarse aggregate of size ranging from 4.75 mm to 10 mm.
The water cement ratio shall not exceed 0.6. When cells exceed, 100 mm on the
narrower side, the proportion of mix shall be 1cement, 2 ½ sand, 3 ½ coarse

6.14.17.2.4.2 Light weight block in load bearing masonry for external walls in framed
construction shall not be less than 200 mm. However, if they are suitably braced by
lateral or vertical supports, the thickness can be 100 mm. Non-load bearing hollow
block walls shall be not less than 100 mm.
4.3 Autoclaved block walls in framed construction shall also be as per above; except
that for load bearing work, the minimum thickness shall be 200 mm; however it can be
reduced to 150 mm if properly braced.
6.14.17.3 Lateral support
Walls made of blocks shall have vertical or horizontal lateral supports at right angles to
the face of the wall. Cross walls, plasters or buttress walls shall provide the lateral
support.
6.14.17.4 Avoidance of crack formation

6.14C.17.4.1 General
The major in the walls or partitions in a structure constructed with blocks, whether they
are of hollow of cellular types can be prevented. The preventive measures to be
undertaken are covered.
6.14.17.4.2 Structural movements

Cracks may arise from alterations in length, the curvature or orientation due to load
settlement, thermal expansion or changes in moisture content.
In the case of framed structures, erection of partitions and panel walls shall be delayed
wherever possible until the frame has taken up, as much as possible, any deformation
occurring due to structural movements.
a) Floor deformation and movement – The floor upon which a partition is built may
deflect under load brought on it after the partition is built. Such deflections tend to
create a non-continuous bearing for the block leading to cracks in the partition. This
can be avoided by embedding wires of 3 mm diameter of mild steel or galvanized steel
or welded wire mesh strip in bed joints in cement mortar 1:2 after every 900 mm to
1200 mm height.
42 of 408
b) Ceiling deflection and movement – A ceiling above a partition will may deflect
under loads applied after its erection or through thermal or other movements. To avoid
cracking as a result of such deflection, the partition wall shall be separated from the
ceiling by a gap or by a layer of resilient material or lean mortar. When this cannot be
done as in the case of plastered finishes, the risk of cracking may be reduced by
forming a cut between the ceiling plaster and the wall plaster.
c) Deflection or movement of structural abutments – The walls, columns or other

structural elements against which the wall or partition abut, may deflect or move
because of load, settlement, shrinkage or thermal effects. In order to avoid cracking of
walls or partitions as a result of such movements, a slip joint shall be provided where
possible, preferably packed with a resilient mortar or lean mortar.
d) Cracks in partition walls may occur at corners of door and window frames at lintel
level or sill level. It may therefore be desirable to provide a nominal reinforced
concrete band beam (see Fig. 1) at sill level and vertical reinforced concrete stud at
either side of vertical members of frames which may in addition provide sufficient
anchorage for hold fast.
6.14.17.4.3 Control of wall movements accompanying temperature and moisture

changes Cracking in concrete masonry walls is often due to tensile stresses which
develop when wall movements accompanying temperature and moisture change are
restrained by other elements of the building or when concrete masonry places restraint
on the movement of adjoining elements.
a) There are three methods of controlling cracking in concrete masonry structures :

1) Specifying a limit on the moisture content of masonry units at the time of delivery
and construction ;
2) Incorporating steel reinforcement either in the form of nominal bond beams or
horizontal joint reinforcement ; and
3) Providing control joints to accommodate the movement of masonry.
In all concrete masonry construction, it is essential to employ only moisture controlled

units. Their use, combined with the provision of control joints is generally adequate to
prevent cracking in concrete masonry walls.
However, bond beams or joint reinforcement, or both in different locations as

considered suitable may also be used in addition to the above.
Nominal bond beams shall be discontinuous at control joints, but practice here varies
depending on the structural requirements. Dummy joints shall be formed when a bond
beam is continuous at a control joint.
43 of 408
6.14.17.5 Control joints - Control joints are employed to reduce restraint by

accommodating movement of masonry wall or movement of structural elements
adjacent to the wall, and thus to control cracking. They are in fact vertical separations
built into the wall at locations where cracking is likely due to excessive horizontal
stresses. The spacing along the wall length depends upon :
a) expected movements of the wall and other elements ;

b) resistance of the wall to horizontal stresses ; and
c) the extent and location in the wall of doors, windows, recesses, chases and other
causes of stress concentration.
6.14.17.6 Bonded beams and studs used on structural members
6.14.17.7.1 Reinforced concrete structural bond beams may be used in concrete block
masonry to meet the requirements of unusual stress conditions. Examples are as
below :
a) In buildings in earth-quake regions ;
b) In buildings in areas where severe wind storms occur ;
c) In buildings in areas where unfavourable soil movements and soil subsidence
occur ; and
d) In buildings where walls are subjected to excessive vibration or to heavy loads.
In all such cases, it is necessary to provide more than nominal stability for all types of
masonry walls.
6.14.17.7.2 Bond beams shall be built integrally with block masonry or with special U-
shaped lintel blocks slung together with reinforcing steel placed in the core of hollow of
blocks filled with M15 concrete. The reinforcement shall conform to IS 456: 2000; but
in no case shall be less than two 12 mm dia mild steel bars. The beams are
discontinuous at control joints; but the joints should be designed to transfer forces
along the wall.
6.14.17.7.3 Bond beams may be provided at any of the following locations depending
on the conditions as described in 6.2.1
a) At floor level ;
b) At top of all door and window openings (in which case they serve as lintels over
them) ;
c) Below the sill in all window openings ; and
d) At plinth level.
6.14.18 Preparatory work :-

Wetting of blocks :
6.14.18.1 The blocks need not be wetted before or during the laying of the blocks. In
case the climatic conditions so require, the top and sides of the blocks may be slightly
44 of 408
moistured so as to prevent absorption of water from the mortar and ensure

development of the required bond with the mortar.
6.14.18.2 Scaffolding - Scaffolding shall be on the same lines as brickwork, suitably

modified where necessary.

19.0 CONSTRUCTION PROCEDURE
19.0.1 Preparation of foundation for receiving the WBM course
The sub-grade, sub-base or base or receive the water bound macadam course
shall be prepared to the specified lines and cross fall (camber) and cleaned of
all dust, dirt and other extraneous matter. Any ruts or soft yielding places that
have appeared due to improper drainage, service under traffic or other reasons
shall be corrected and rolled until firm.
19.0.2 Inverted choke
If WBM is to be laid directly over the sub-grade, without any intervening

pavement course, a 25mm coarse or screening (Grade B) or coarse sand shall
be spread on the prepared sub-grade before application of the coarse
aggregate is taken up. In case of fine sand or silty or clayey sub-grade, it is
advisable to lay 100mm insulating layer of screening of coarse sand on top of
fine grained sand, the gradation of which will depend upon whether it is
intended to act as a drainage layer as well.
19.0.3 Spreading coarse aggregate
The coarse aggregates shall be spread uniformly and evenly upon the prepared
base in required quantities from stockpiles along the side of the road or directly
from vehicles. In no case shall these be dumped in heaps directly on the area
where there are to be laid not shall their hauling over a partly completed base
be permitted. The aggregates shall be spread to proper profile by suing
templates placed across the road about 6n apart. Where possible, approved
mechanical devices shall be used to spread the aggregates uniformity so as to
minimize the need of their manual rectification afterwards.
The thickness of consolidated WBM shall be 150mm laid in two layers of 75 mm

compacted thicknesses each. No segregation of large of fine particles shall be
allowed, the coarse aggregate, as spread shall be of uniform gradation with no
pockets of fine material.
The coarse aggregates shall normally not be spread more than three days in
advance of the subsequent construction operation.
19.0.4 Rolling
After the laying of coarse aggregate, these shall be compacted to full width by
rolling with either three-wheeled power roller to 8 to 10 tonn capacity or an
equivalent vibratory roller. The weight of the roller shall depend on the type of
the coarse aggregates.
Except on super elevated portions where the rolling shall proceed from inner
edge to the outer, rolling shall begin from the edges gradually progressing
towards the centre. First the edges/edges shall be compacted with roller
running forward and backward. The roller shall then move inwards parallel to
86 of 408
the center line of the road, in successive passes uniformly lapping preceding
tracks by at least one half width.
Rolling shall be discontinued when the aggregates are partially compacted with
sufficient void space in them to permit application of screenings. However,
where screenings are not to be applied, as in the case of crushed aggregates
like brick metal, laterite and kankar, compaction shall be continued until the
aggregates are thoroughly keyed. During rolling, slight sprinkling of water may
be done, if necessary. Rolling shall not to be done when the sub-grade is soft or
yielding or when it causes a wave like motion in the sub-grade or sub-base
course.
The rolled surface shall be checked transversely and longitudinally with

templates and any irregularities corrected by loosening the surface, adding or
removing necessary amount of aggregates and re-rolling until the entire surface
conforms to desired cross fall (camber) and grade. In no case shall the use of
screenings be permitted to make up depressions.
Material, which crushed excessively during compaction or becomes segregated

shall be moved and replaced with suitable aggregates.
19.0.5 Application of screenings
After coarse aggregate has been rolled to clause No. 24.4 screenings to
completely fill the interstices shall be paid applied gradually over the surface.
These shall not be damp or wet at the time of application. Dry rolling shall be
done while the screenings are being spread so that vibrations of the roller cause
them to settle into the voids of the coarse aggregate. The screenings shall not
be dumped in piles but be spread uniformly in successive thin layer either by
the spreading motions of hand shovels or by mechanical spreaders or directly
from tipper with suitable grid spreading arrangement. Tipper operating for
spreading the screenings shall be so driven as not to disturb the coarse
aggregate.
The screenings shall be applied at a slow and uniform rate (in three more
application) so as to ensure filling of all voids. This shall be accompanied by dry
rolling and booming with mechanical brooms, hand-brooms or both. In no case
shall the screenings be applied as fast and thick as to form cakes of ridges on
the surface in such a manner as would prevent filling of voids or prevent the
direct bearing of the roller on the coarse aggregate. These operations shall
continue no more screenings can be forced into the voids of the coarse
aggregate.
19.0.6 Sprinkling of water and grouting
After the screenings have been applied, the surface shall be copiously sprinkled
with water, swept and rolled. Hand brooms shall be used to sweep the wet
screenings into voids and to distribute them evenly. The sprinkling, sweeping
and rolling operation shall be continued, with additional screenings applied as
necessary until the coarse aggregate has been thoroughly keyed, well bonded
87 of 408
and firmly set in its full depth and a grout has been formed of screening. Care
shall be taken to see that the base or sub-grade does not get damaged due to
the addition of excessive quantities of water during construction.
19.0.7 Application of binding material
After the application of screenings in accordance with clause 24.5 and 24.6, the
binding material where it is required to be used shall be applied successively in
two or more thin layers at a slow in two or more thin layers at a slow and
uniform rate. After each application, the surface shall be copiously sprinkled
with water the resulting slurry swept in with hand brooms or mechanical brooms
to fill the voids properly and rolled during which water shall be applied to the
wheels of the rollers if necessary, to wash down the binding material sticking to
them. These operations shall continue until the resulting slurry after filling of
voids, forms a wave ahead of the wheels of the moving roller.
19.0.8 Setting and drying
After the final compaction of water bound macadam course, the payment shall
be allowed to dry overnight next morning hungry spots shall be filled with
screenings or binding material as directed, lightly sprinkled with water if
necessary and rolled. No traffic shall be allowed in the road until the macadam
has set. The Engineer shall have the discretion to stop hauling traffic from using
the completed water bound macadam course, if in his opinion it would cause
excessive damage to the surface.
The compacted water bound macadam course should be allowed to completely

dry and set before the next pavement course is laid over it.
19.0.9 Surface finish and quality control of work
The surface finish of construction shall conform to the requirements of clause

902. Control on the quality of materials and works shall be exercised by the
Engineer and accordance with section 900. The water bound macadam work
shall not be carried out when the atmospheric temperature is less than zero
degree c in the shade.
19.0.10 Measurement
Water bound macadam shall be measured as finished work in cubic meters.

23.0.1 PRE-CONSTRUCTION ANTI-TERMITE TREATMENT.
I.S.I. SPECIFICATIONS
24.0.2 CHEMICALS
The chemicals used for the soil treatment shall be any one of the combination
of the following with concentration shown against each in aqueous emulsion:
Chemicals (E.C.S.) - Concentration
Chlorpyriphos - 1.0% (by weight)
24.0.3 TREATMENT FOR MASONRY FOUNDATION
The bottom surface and sides (upto a height of 30 cms. from the bottom) of
the excavation made for masonry foundations and basements shall be treated
with the chemical emulsion mentioned above at 5 litres per Sqm of surface
area.
24.0.4 TREATMENT TO BACKFILL EARTH
As the masonry foundations and retaining walls of the basement come up, the
backfill in immediate contact with the foundation structure shall be treated with
the chemical emulsion at the rate of 7.5 litres per Sqm of the vertical surface
of the sub-structure for each side. The earth is usually returned in layers and
the treatment shall be carried out in similar stages. The chemical emulsion
shall be directed towards the concrete or masonry surfaces of the columns
and walls so that the earth in contact with these surfaces is well treated with
the chemical.
24.0.5 TREATMENT FOR R.C.C. FOUNDATIONS
The treatment described in 2 and 3 above applies essentially to masonry

foundations where there are voids in the masonry through which termites can
91 of 408
seek entry into the superstructure. Hence the foundations require to be

completely enveloped by a chemical barrier. In the case of RCC foundations
the concrete is dense being a 1:2:4 mix or richer, the termites are unable to
penetrate it. It is therefore unnecessary to start the treatment from the bottom
of excavations. The treatment shall start at depth of 50 cms. below the
ground level except when ground level is raised or lowered by filling or cutting
after the foundations have been cast. In such cases the depth of 50 cms.
shall be determined from the new soil level resulting from filling or cutting
mentioned above and soil in immediate contact with the vertical surface of
RCC foundations. From this depth the backfill around the columns, beams
and RCC basement walls shall be treated at the rate of 7.5 litres per Sqm.
The other details of the treatment shall be as laid down in 3 above.
24.0.6 TREATMENT OF TOP SURFACE OF PLINTH FILLING
The top surface of the consolidated earth within the walls shall be treated with
the chemical emulsion at the rate of 5 litres per Sqm of the surface before the
sand bed or sub-grade is laid. If the filled earth has been well rammed and
the surface does not allow the emulsion to seep through, holes upto 50 to 75
mm deep at 150 mm centres both ways may be made with 12 mm dia MS rod
on the surface to facilitate absorption of the emulsion.
24.0.7 TREATMENT OF JUNCTION OF WALLS AND FLOOR
Special case shall be taken to establish continuity of the vertical chemical

barrier on inner wall surfaces from the ground level (where it had stopped with
the treatment described in 3 above) upto the level of the filled earth surface.
To achieve this, a small channel 3 x 3 cms shall be made at all the junctions
of wall and columns with the floor (before laying the sub-grade) and rod holes
made in the channel upto the ground level 15 cms. apart and the rod moved
backward and forward to break up the earth and chemical emulsion poured
along the channel at the rate of 7.5 litres per Sqm of the vertical wall or
column surface of the sub-structures so as to soak the soil right to the bottom.
The soil should be tamped back into place after this operation.
24.0.8 TREATMENT TO SOIL ALONG EXTERNAL PERIMETER OF BUILDING
After the building is complete, the earth along the external perimeter of the
building should be rodded at intervals of 15 cms. and to a depth of 30 cms.
The rods should be moved backward and forward parallel to the wall to break
up the earth and chemical emulsion poured along the wall at the rate of 7.5
litres per sqm. of vertical surfaces. After the treatment, the earth should be
tamped back into place. Should the earth outside the building be graded on
completion of building, this treatment should be carried out on the completion
of such grading. In the event of filling being more than 30 cms the external
perimeter treatment shall extend to the full depth of filling up to the ground
level so as to ensure continuity of the chemical barrier.
92 of 408
24.0.9 TREATMENT OF SOIL UNDER APRON ALONG EXTERNAL PERIMETER

OF BUILDING
Top surface of the consolidated earth over which the apron is to be laid shall
be treated with chemical emulsion at the rate of 5 litres per sqm of the vertical
surface before the apron is laid. If consolidated earth does not allow emulsion
to seep through holes up to 50 to 75 mm deep at 150 mm centres both ways
may be made with 12 mm dia mild steel rod on the surface to facilitate
saturation of the soil with the chemical emulsion.
24.0.10 TREATMENT OF SOIL SURROUNDING PIPES WASTES & CONDUITS
When pipes, waste and conduits enter the soil inside the area of the
foundation, the soil surrounding the point of entry must be loosened around
each such pipe waste or conduits for a distance of 15 cms and up to a depth
of 7.5 cms before the treatment is commenced When they enter the soil
external to the foundations, they shall be similarly treated unless they stand
clear of the walls of the building by about 7.5 cms, for a distance of over 30
cms.
24.0.11 SPRAYING EQUIPMENT
A pressure pump shall be used to carry out spraying operations to facilitate

proper penetration of chemicals into the earth.
24.0.12 The above specifications are in line with the I S code of practice for Anti -
termite measure in buildings, IS: 6313(part -II) - 1981 first revision.

in. [2.59 mm] for the fitting socket bottom, or 0.I28 in. [3.25 mm] for the fitting body,
shall be arbitrarily increased to these values.
Interference Fit—The diameters and tolerances in Table I and Table 2 provide for
socket-type joints having an interference fit based on the major diameter of pipe and
tubing having a degree of out-of-roundness. This does not necessarily imply
interference based on the minor diameter of the pipe or tubing.
120 of 408

joints shall meet the requirements set forth in Specification F 493.
Hydrostatic Burst Strength—2-in. [50-mm] CPVC solvent cement joints shall exceed
the minimum hydrostatic burst strength requirements given in Table 6 after a maximum
drying interval of 2 h when tested, Failure to pass the burst requirement at either
temperature is cause for rejection.
Hydrostatic Sustained Pressure Strength—½-in. [I5-mm] CPVC solvent cement joints

shall meet the requirements, when tested in accordance with TEST METHODS FOR
PIPE, TUBLING AND FITTINGS given below.
CPVC Adhesives:

4.0.1..7 Assembly
Solvent Cemented Joints:
Interference Fit—Components meeting the dimensional requirements of this
specification are designed 10 having interference fit. Before making a cemented joint, ii
is advisable to check for interference dry-fit. A good interference dry-fit exists when the
pipe or tubing makes contact with the fitting socket wall between one third and two
thirds of the way into the socket
Cutting— Pipe and tubing may be cut to length with tubing cutters. Tubing cutters with
thin cutting wheels designed specially for plastic are recommended. Where tubing
cutters are not available, a saw and meter box may be used. Burrs and ridges caused
by handling or cutting must be removed before assembling a joint.
Solvent Cleaning—When recommended by the cement manufacturer, organic liquids

can be used as a cleaning solvent for CPVC 41 components. These organic liquids
should have a low solvation power for CPVC, to prevent mistaken use of the cleaning
125 of 408
solvent for a cement Uncemented joints with a good solvent THF for instance, will pass
the usual cold water pressure check but are likely to fail later in hot water service.
Step-by-Step Assembly—Correct assembly consists of the following steps; (1) cut the
pipe square; (2) remove burrs; (S) check for interference fit; {4) clean both pipe end
and fitting socket with a recommended CPVC cleaner or by light sanding, or both; (5)
apply a liberal coat of CPVC solvent cement to the pipe and apply a light coat of
cement to the fitting socket; (6) assemble immediately by bottoming the pipe in the
socket and rotating a quarter turn as the joint is assembled; and (7) remove excess
cement from the joint. If a joint has been properly made, a small bead of cement will
always appear at the juncture between the pipe of tubing and the fitting.
Adhesive Joints—Assemble according to the manufacturer's instructions paying

particular attention to whether sanding of the pipe or tubing is recommended to
eliminate the interference fit Plastic-to-Metal Transitions—Assemble in accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions. Union and compression type transition fittings are
likely to include ferrules or O-rings, or both, which form an essential pan of the fitting
assembly and should not be omitted. Plastic socket-to-male threaded adapters should
be installed with a recommended thread sealant.
4.0.1..8 Installation
Storage and Handling—CPVC pipe, tubing, and fittings should be stored under cover
to avoid unnecessary dirt accumulation and long-term exposure to sunlight Pipe and
tubing should be stored with continuous support in straight, uncrossed bundles. Care
should be used in handling to ensure that unnecessary abuse such as abrasion on
concrete or crushing is avoided.
Installation Temperature—Extra care must be taken at temperatures of40F or lower

and 110F or higher. Always follow the manufacturer's installation instructions carefully.
Pressure Testing—CPVC piping systems made of ½ h through 2-in. sizes in

accordance with this specification, and utilizing a solvent cement requiring a primer or
cleaner. can be pressure tested (using cold tap water only) at line pressure (150 psi
maximum) after the solvent cement joints have cured for at least the following amount
of time:
4.0.1..9 Test methods for pipe, Tubling and fittings

Sampling - A Sufficient quantity of Pipe, tubing or fittings, as agreed upon between the
purchaser and the seller, shall be selected from each lot or shipment and tested In the
case of no prior agreement, random samples selected by the testing laboratory* shall
be deemed adequate.
126 of 408
Test Specimens—Not less than 50% of the test specimens required for any pressure
test shall have at least a pan of the marking in their central sections. The central
section is that portion of pipe, which is at least one pipe diameter away from an end
closure.
Flattening—Flatten three specimens of the pipe. 2 in. [50-mm] long, between parallel
plates in a suitable press until the distance between the plates is 40 % of the outside
diameter of the pipe or the walls of the pipe touch, whichever occurs first. The rate of
loading shall be uniform and such that the compression is completed within 5 min.
upon removal of the load, examine the specimens for evidence of splitting, cracking, or
breaking.
4.0.1..10 Hydrostatic Sustained Pressure
Summary of Test Method—This test method describes a pass-fail test for CPVC 41
pipe, tubing, or fittings (tested as assemblies) subjected to a constant internal hydro-
static pressure for a predetermined period of time. Test conditions are based on known
rupture pressure versus time relationships for standard CPVC 41 components (see
footnote to Table 5). The external test environment may be either water or air.
However, test pressures differ depending on the environment selected (see Table 5).
Apparatus:
Pressurizing System—A pressure source capable of rapidly and continuously applying
a constant hydrostatic pressure, controlled to ±10 psi [±69 kPa] or better, to the test
specimens.
Timing Device — Any clock capable of accuracy to within 1 % of the total test time.
Closure Fittings—Any suitable specimen closure at allows "free-end" mounting, is free
of leaks, and will not contribute to end failures.
Sampling and Specimen Preparation:

Pipe and Tubing—Select at random specimens of at least seven times the nominal
diameter in length, but in any case not shorter than 10 in. [250 mm]. Take three
specimens for quality control testing. Take six specimens for qualification or referee
testing..
Fittings—Select specimens at random. Take three specimens for quality control

testing. Take six specimens for qualification or referee testing. Assemble the fittings,
individually or collectively, using suitable lengths of CPVC 41 Pipe or tubing and CPVC
solvent cement or CPVC adhesive. Use only pipe or tubing and solvent cement or
adhesive meeting the requirements of this specification. Assemble the joints in
accordance with the recommended procedure by the manufacturer Allow solvent-
cemented fitting assemblies to dry at elevated temperature, up to 180F [82C]
maximum, in a forced-air oven until all joints are sufficiently strong to eliminate joint
127 of 408
failures during the test. Minimum suggested drying times are shown in Table 8. Cure
assemblies prepared with CPVC adhesives according to the adhesive manufacturer's
recommended procedure until the adhesive joints are sufficiently strong to eliminate
joint failures during the test In no case, however, should adhesive joints be cured at a
temperature higher than 180F [82C].
Procedure—After curing all cemented or adhesive joints used, attach suitable end
closures where necessary. Fill the specimen with water, making certain to avoid
entrapment of air. Condition the test specimen at 180 ± 1.8F [82± PC] for a minimum
of 30 min if using a water bath, or 4h if using an air bath. Attach the specimen to the
pressure source, and place it on test at 180 ± 1.8*F [82 ± i*C] under the proper
hydrostatic pressure selected from Table 5. Start the timer immediately. Hold the test
pressure and temperature as close as possible to the specified values, but in any case
to within ±10 psi [±69 kPa] and 1.8F [1CJ respectively. At the end of the specified
minimum time interval, isolate the specimen from the pressure source and check for
any continuous loss of pressure resulting from transmission of water through the
specimen. Any such continuous loss of pressure, resulting from bursting or weeping of
the test specimens as defined in Test Method D 1598. Shall constitute failure. If joint
leakage or joint separation has occurred, the test should be repeated using a longer
joint drying or curing cycle.
4.0.1..11 Tests for Solvent Cement and Adhesive Joints

Test for Solvent Cement Joints:
Hydrostatic Burst Strength—Determine the minimum hydrostatic burst strength for
CPVC solvent-cemented joints according to manufacturers recommendation. Except
as herein specified. Test assemblies containing at least six nominal 2in. [50-mm]
solvent cemented joints prepared for CPVC 41 pipe or tubing and fittings meeting the
requirements of this specification. Assemble the joints in accordance with the
recommended solvent cementing procedure as per manufacturers recommendation.
After attaching end closures, fill the specimen assembly with water and condition in
water at the test temperature for 2 h maximum. Then test immediately. Increase the
internal pressure at a constant rate so as to reach the minimum burst 'requirement in
60 to 70 s. Leakage or separation at any of the joints tested at less than the minimum
hydrostatic burst requirement specified in Table 6 shall constitute failure in this test.
Test for Adhesive Joints:

General— Prepare a test assembly containing at six adhesive joints of the largest
nominal Diameter and the exact type (plastic-to-plastic, or plastic-to-metal) for which
the adhesive is intended to qualify- Make and cure the adhesive joints in accordance
with the adhesive manufacturer's recommended procedure, but in no case above 180F
[82C. The CPVC 41 pipe or tubing and fittings used in the assembly shall meet the
requirements of this specification.

contractor to project site.
154 of 408
Jointing of the pipes including supply of cement mortar and other material as
required is to be considered by the tenderer.
8.0.2 Laying of Pipe Lines.
i. General.
The trench shall be so dug that the pipe can be laid to the required alignment
and at the required depth. When the pipeline is under a roadway, a minimum
cover of 90 cm is recommended for adoption, but it may modified to suit local
conditions. The trench shall be excavated only so far in advance of pipe laying
as specified by the authority. The trench shall be so shored and drained that
the workmen may work therein safely and efficiently. The discharge of the
trench de-watering pumps shall be conveyed either to drainage channels or to
natural drains.
ii. Trenching.
The excavation should be carried out with manual labour or with mechanical
equipment as approved by the authority.
iii. Width of Trenches.
Unless otherwise specified by the Authority, the width at bottom of trenches for
different diameters of pipes laid at different shall be as given below.
a) For all diameters, up to an average depth of 1.2 m, width of trench in mm
= diameter of pipe + 300mm.
b) For all diameters for depths above 1.20 m, width of trench in mm =

diameter of pipe + 400 mm.
c) Notwithstanding (a) and (b) the total width of trench should not be less
than 0.75 m for depths exceeding 0.9 m.
iv. Limits of Excavation Relative to Gradients.
Except where special foundations are to be provided, the trench shall be

excavated in accordance with the following as may be considered appropriate
by the Authority.
a) The trench shall be excavated to the exact gradient specified so that no
making of the subgrade by backfilling is required and the concrete bed,
where required, may be prepared with greatest ease giving a uniform
and continuous bearing and support for the pipe.
v. Trimming of Trench Bottoms.
The bottom of the trench shall be properly trimmed off to present a plain surface
and all irregularities shall be leveled. Excavation shall be at joints to such
dimension as will allow the joints to be conveniently and thoroughly filled.
155 of 408
vi. Laying of Stoneware Pipes.
The stoneware pipes shall be laid with sockets facing up the gradient on desired
bedding. Special bedding concrete shall be provided below the pipes (Ref. IS:
4127). All the pipelines shall be laid perfectly true to the line and gradient. At
the close of each day’s work or at such other times when pipe is not being laid,
the end of the pipe shall be protected by a close fitting stopper.
8.0.3 Jointing.
Joints of stoneware may generally be spigot and socket joint (rigid type).
i. Caulking of yarn.
In each joint, spun yarn soaked in neat cement slurry shall be passed round the
joint and inserted in it by means of a caulking tool. More skeins of yarn shall be
added if necessary and shall be well caulked. Yarn or gasket so rammed shall
not occupy more than one-fourth of depth of socket.
ii. Caulking of cement mortar.
Cement mortar (1:1) (one part of cement to one part of sand) shall be slightly
moistened and carefully inserted by hand into the remaining space of the joint
after caulking of yarn. The mortar shall then be caulked into the joint with a
caulking tool. More cement mortar shall be added until the space of joint has
been completely filled with tightly caulked mortar. The joint shall then be
finished off neatly outside the socket at an angle of 45 degrees.
8.0.4 Curing.
The cement mortar joints shall be cured at least for seven days before testing.
8.0.5 Hydraulic Testing of Pipe Sewers.
i. Water Test.
Each section of sewer shall be tested for water tightness preferably between
manholes. To prevent change in alignment and disturbance after the pipes
have been laid, it is desirable to backfill the pipes upto the top keeping at least
90 cm length of the pipe open at the joints. However, this may not be feasible
in the case of pipes of shorter length. With concrete encasement or concrete
cradle, partial covering of the pipe is not necessary.
In case of concrete and stoneware pipes with cement mortar joints, pipes shall
be tested three days after the cement mortar joints have been made. It is
necessary that the pipelines are filled with water for about a week before
commencing the application of pressure to allow for the absorption by pipe wall.
The sewers are tested by plugging the upper end with a provision for an air
outlet pipe with stop cock. The water is filled through a funnel connected at the
lower end provided with a plug. After the air has been expelled through the air
156 of 408
outlet the stop cock and water level in the funnel is raised to 2.5 m above the
invert at the upper end. Water level in the funnel is noted after 30 minutes and
the quantity of water required to restore the original water level in the funnel is
determined. The pipe line under pressure is then inspected while the funnel is
still in position. There shall not be any leaks in the pipe or the joints (small
sweating on the pipe surface is permitted). Any sewer or part there of that does
not meet the test shall be emptied and repaired or relayed as required and
tested again.
The leakage or quantity of water to be supplied to maintain the test pressure

during the period of 10 minutes shall not exceed 0.2 liter/mm dia. of pipes per
kilometer length per day.
For non-pressure pipes it is better to observe the leakage for a period of 24
hours if feasible.
8.0.6 Backfilling of the Trenches.
Backfilling of the sewer trench is a very important consideration in sewer

construction. The method of backfilling to be used varies with the width of the
trench, the character of the material excavated, the method of excavation and
the degree of compaction required. In developed streets, a high degree of
compaction is required to minimize the load while in less important streets, a
more moderate specification for back fill may be justified. In open country it
may be sufficient to mound the trench and after natural settlement return to
regrade the areas.
No trench shall be filled in unless the sewer stretches have been tested and
approved for water tightness of joints. However, partial filling may be done
keeping the joints open to avoid disturbance. The refilling shall proceed around
the above the pipes. Soft material screened free from stones or hard
substances shall first be used and hand pressed under and around the pipes to
half their height. Similar soft material shall then be put upto a height of 30 cm
above the top of the pipe and this will be moistened with water and well
rammed. The remainder of the trench can be filled with soft and hard material,
in stages, each not exceeding 60 cm. At each stage, the filling shall be well
rammed, consolidated and completely saturated with water and then only
further filling shall be continued. Before and during the backfilling of a trench,
precautions shall be taken against the floatation of the pipe line due to the entry
of large quantities of water into the trench causing an uplift of the empty or the
party filled pipe line. Upon completion of the backfill, the surface shall be
restored fully to the level that existed prior to the construction of the sewer.
8.0.7 Construction of Manholes.
i. General.
The manholes shall be constructed simultaneously with the sewers. The

manhole shall normally be of brick-work in cement mortar and generally be
plastered inside. The foundation of manholes shall be cement concrete of
appropriate grade. The floor of the manhole shall be in cement concrete with
157 of 408
formation of half channel of the required size and curve to the same line and fall
as the sewer. Both sides of the channel pipes shall be benched up in concrete
and formed to a slope to the channel. All round the pipe there shall be a joint of
cement mortar between the pipe and the bricks. The ends of the pipes shall be
built in and neatly finished off with cement mortar. The masonry shaft or the
manhole shall be provided on the top with a heavy air tight R.C cover slab.
Where the depth of the manhole exceeds 90 mm below the surface of the
ground, steps of cast iron of any other approved material shall be built into the
brick work.
The entire height of the manhole shall be tested for water-tightness by closing
both the incoming and outgoing ends of the sewer and filling the manhole with
water. A drop in water level not more than 50 mm per 24 hours shall be
permitted. In case of high subsoil water, it should be ensured that there is no
leakage of ground water into the manhole by observing the manhole for 24
hours after emptying it.
ii. Sewer Connections.
The sewer, after insertion into the manhole, shall be aligned to grade and
supported. The gap on the outer face of pipe shall be filled with cement mortar.
8.0.8 Mode of measurement.
Stoneware pipes shall be measured along the centerline of the pipeline including
the specials in running meter (Rm.) between:
a) Chambers/Manholes: Shall be recorded from the inside of one manhole to
inside of another manhole.
b) Gully trap and manhole: shall be recorded between socket pipe near gully
trap and inside of manhole.
The quoted rate shall include the following:

i) The cost of pipes, specials and other jointing materials.
ii) Laying, jointing and curing.
iii) Testing and making good the defects if any.

2.0 BRIEF DESCRIPTION & OPERATION OF THE SYSTEM
2.1.0 Fire Hydrant & Wet Riser System
The fire hydrant and wet riser system is fully automatic in operation. The fire hydrant
and wet riser system piping is normally kept pressurized at 7 bars with the jockey
pump. The jockey pump installed in the plant room will compensate any minor
pressure loss in the pressurized pipeline. In case any internal hydrant valve or hose
reel is opened, the water pressure in the pipe network will drop all of a sudden.
As the result, jockey pump cannot compensate this pressure drop, the respective main
pump will start automatically at its preset pressure. If the respective main pump fails to
start, the pressure in the piping will further drop down, resulting in automatic starting of
the Diesel Engine driven pump at its preset pressure.
The switching ON and OFF of the jockey pump are automatic, whereas the main and
standby pump will start automatically but to be switched OFF manually once the fire is
completely extinguished.
