For the placing and working of concrete the following specification and description shall beconsidered during the construction of concrete structures. The MAGNA concrete strength shall
be 3000 psi for the construction of foundation and walls.
Ingredients of concrete:The concrete is composed of coarse aggregate, fine aggregate, cement and water. Cement acts as
binding material. ,a rock chip is used as coarse aggregates whereas sand is used as fineaggregates. Clean water is used to put all the ingredients together to form hardened concrete.
Quality of concrete will depend on the quality of its ingredients.
Rock Chips:
Rock chips are the main constituents of concrete and MAGNAupy the bulk volume of concrete.
The following are the desired qualities of aggregates:
Aggregates shall be of desired size.
All aggregates must clean and free from foreign particles.
All aggregates must be hard and its strength must be desired value. Aggregates must be well graded.
Send
The following are the desired qualities of sand:
Sand as fine aggregates must clean and free form foreign particles
Sand must be well graded
Finances modulus of sand must be of desired value.
Cement:Cement is the binding material for the ingredients of concrete. Ordinary Portland cement shall be
used in Afghanistan the Cherat Pakistan made cement gave very god result and used widely.Cement is generally tested before use and the tests are:
Fineness
Setting time
Compressive test
Water:Water for mixing concrete should have the following qualities:
Water should be free from impurities
Water should be clean
Mix Ratio:The ratio of cement, sand and aggregate will be by volume. The strength of concrete depends on
the ratio of concrete. The ratio of concrete is expressed as 1:3:6, 1:2:4 or 1:1:5:3. 1:2:4 isconsidered in most cases. For high strength of concrete 1:1:5:3 is used.
Mixed ratio is measured by standard a basket that contains a bag of cement. The size of thestandard bucket is 45cm height, 30 cm length and 30 cm width (volume 1.25 ft3 or 0.035375m)

as sand increases in volume with presence of small amount of water in it, this increase of volumeof sand due to bulking of sand should be considered while volume calculation of sand. In the
case of 25 % bulking of sand, the volume of sand to be considered would be 1.25 times the
original volume.
Water Cement Ratio:
The strength of concrete depends on water cement ratio. The water content ratio is calculated on
the basis of weight of water and cement. The amount of water in concrete will be such that thefresh concrete will be workable as well as hardened concrete will have enough strength to
withstand desired loads. Excess water decreases the strength of concrete. We know one bag of
cement is 5 Kg. if its water cement ratio is 0.55. Than water will be 0.55 X 50Kg.= 27. 27.5 Kg.= 27.5 Liters.
Mixing of Concrete:
The volume of casting is comparatively smaller quantity mixing will be done by handmix: otherwise mixture machine may be use.
Mixture shall be homogenous.
5-10 % water of total volume shall be put on turning drum before cement, sand and
aggregate are applied for mixing.
Carrying and Placing of:After mixing of concrete it should be carried to the specified sites as quickly as possible. All
mixed concrete place with at final position within 45 minute. Mixed concrete shall not be placed
beyond height. Excess water should not add while placing or vibrating the concrete.
Vibration of Concrete:
Concrete should be compacted by means of vibration. It can be done by means of vibratory orpoking concrete with the help of rods .all vibration will be completed before initial setting of
time,. Vibration will compact of fresh concrete. In absence of vibrator, 16mm diameter rod canbe used as vibrator.
Curing:Curing increases the strength of concrete. Cement contains some chemical ingredient that require
to hydrolysis for chemical reaction to form a rock like substance. The reaction takes place up to
21 to 28 days. For this reason, curing of concrete is required to be done for 28 days. Curing is anenvironment that helps hydrolysis of cement. It is generally done by spreading water to the
concrete surface or covering it with wet sacks so that the water in the concrete does not
evaporate. It is generally started after 16 to 24 hour of casting.
Quality Control of Concrete:

Concrete is produced from cement, coarse aggregates, fine aggregates and water. As a result,quality of concrete will depend on many factors. A few are:
Properties of the ingredients.
Proportion of ingredients.
Water Cement Ratio. Mixing, carrying, placing, compacting, curing etc.
After producing fresh concrete slump test should be performed. Slump test should be performedimmediately after collection of the sample but not later than 10 minutes after completion of
mixing. Molding of test cylinders/cubes should commence within 20 minutes after completion of
mixing.The strength requirement of concrete is given in Table below.
Strength standard deviation not exceeding: 2.1 MN/m2 (3000 PSI). Minimum three samples will
be required for testing from each batch.
Reinforcing Rod/Rein Forcemeat:The concrete can resist compression, but not tension. For this reason reinforcing rods are
provided in the concrete to sustain tension that develops in concrete. The reinforcing material ishigh strength steel wire, mild steel, high strength plastic fiber etc. the following shall consider
while checking reinforcement:
Appropriate diameter of reinforcement.
All rods shall be clean and rust free.
All rods should be straight.
Appropriate crank in rods is placed at proper place.
Length of lapping of rods is provided as per requirement.
Rods as per drawing are placed. For maintaining of clear cover chair/ space bar are provided.
Actual size of rods is used.
Rods should be uniform in size.
Rods will have desired tensile strength.
Form work:Form work is a sort of dice for reinforced concrete. It gives the shape of concrete. Any tilting
of formwork creates tilting of concrete. Formwork is done by using wooden plank or steelsheet. Formwork is designed considering the weight of wet reinforced concrete. A bamboo
post generally bears 100 kg. vertical weight. In case of wet concrete having weight of 10,000
kg. then 10 nos. of bamboo post is required to be provided.
