h) Concrete mixers that have been out of use for more than 30 minutes shall be thoroughly cleaned before any fresh concrete is mixed. Unless otherwise agreed the first batch of concrete through the mixer shall then contain only two-thirds of the normal quantity of coarse aggregate. Mixing plant shall be thoroughly cleaned before changing from one type of cement to another.

5.16. CONTROL OF STRENGTH OF DESIGNED MIXES

5.16.1. ADJUSTMENT TO MIX PROPORTIONS

Adjustment to mix proportions may be made in order to minimize the variability of strength subject to approval of Engineer-in-charge and to maintain the target mean strength subject to approval of Engineer-in-charge. Such adjustments shall not be taken to imply any change in the current margin.

5.16.2. CHANGE OF CURRENT MARGIN

When required by the engineer-in-charge, the current margin shall be recalculated in accordance with Clause 4.4.1. The recalculated value shall be adopted as directed by the engineer-in-charge, and it shall become the current margin of concrete produced subsequently.

5.17. SAMPLING AND TESTING OF CONCRETE

5.17.1. GENERAL

Samples from fresh concrete shall be taken as per IS: 1199 and cubes shall be made, cured and tested at 28 days in accordance with IS: 456.

5.17.2. SAMPLING PROCEDURE

A random sampling procedure shall be adopted to ensure that each concrete batch shall have a reasonable chance of being tested, that is, the sampling should be spread over the entire period of concreting and cover all mixing units. The point and time of sampling shall be at delivery into the moulds, unless otherwise agreed to.

5.17.3. FREQUENCY OF SAMPLING

The minimum frequency of sampling of concrete shall be one sample (03 Nos PCC blocks) for every 500 blocks or part thereof. At least one sample shall be taken from each shift of work.

5.18. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA

5.18.1. COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH: to be worked out as per IS 456: 2000.

The concrete shall be deemed to comply with the strength requirements when both the following condition are met:



(a) The mean strength determined from any group of four consecutive test results complies with the appropriate limits in Col 2 of Table 11 given below:-.

(b) Any individual test result complies with the appropriate limits in col 3 of table 11 given below:- Table 11: Characteristic Compressive Strength Compliance Requirements

5.19. PRODUCTION OF PCC BLOCKS 5.19.1. The Contractor shall have casting yard of sufficient area for casting of paving blocks through machines, curing and storage of blocks. The concrete shall be produced in batching and mixing plant to ensure strict control on quantity of various ingredients of concrete so as to produce concrete of desired quality. The machine used for casting of paving blocks shall be of appropriate capacity and shall have capability to impart full compaction to the blocks while casting. The shape and size of the paving blocks shall be as given at Clause 5.2.1 of these specifications. The Contractor shall use casting machine(s) of such capacity as to complete the work within the stipulated time frame. The machine shall be capable of producing blocks of given size, shape, finish and strength. The temperature of wet concrete shall neither be less than 5 degree Celsius nor more than 40 degree Celsius. 5.19.2. The infra-structural facilities of the Contractor with regard to production of concrete, casting of PCC blocks, measures of quality assurance, curing, facilities for testing of PCC blocks, concrete cube specimens and ingredients of concrete etc shall be inspected and approved by Commander 32 BRTF for their suitability for the subject work. 5.20. COMPACTION

Concrete in PCC block moulds shall be thoroughly compacted during casting by suitable

compactors/vibrators integrated with the casting machine to achieve designed level of compaction. The blocks should neither be over compacted resulting in segregation nor under compacted to result in honey combed and weak blocks. 5.21. CURING AND PROTECTION OF BLOCKS 5.21.1. Curing and protection of PCC blocks shall start immediately after casting to protect it from permanent drying out particularly by solar radiation and wind, high internal thermal gradation, leaching out by rain or flowing water, rapid cooling during first few days after casting, low temperature or frost and vibration and impact. OPC of grades 43 and 53 generate heat of hydration at very high rate.



Therefore, proper curing of PCC blocks is of paramount importance for achieving the designed strength. Steam curing may be done for 24 hrs in initial stage to gain early strength.

5.21.2 WATER CURING

The concrete blocks shall be kept wet constantly for 24 hours in moulds/sheds and thereafter,

will be cured for 28 days by keeping them submerged in a tank filled with water. The temperature of water shall not be less than 4 degree Celsius. Water for curing shall as specified under Clause 3.7.

5.21.3. STEAM CURING When steam curing is adopted, it shall be ensured that it is done in a suitable enclosure to contain the live steam in order to minimize moisture and heat losses. The initial application of the steam shall be after about four hours of casting of PCC blocks to allow initial set of the concrete to take place.

Where retarders are used, the waiting period before application of the steam shall be increased

to about six hours. The steam shall be kept at 100 per cent relative humidity to prevent loss of moisture and to

provide excess moisture for proper hydration of cement. The application of steam shall not be directly on the concrete and the ambient temperature shall increase at a rate not exceeding 5 degree Celsius per hour until a maximum temperature of 60 degree Celsius to 70 degree Celsius is reached. The maximum temperature shall be maintained until the concrete has reached the desired strength.

When steam curing is discontinued, the ambient temperature shall not drop at a rate exceeding

5 degree Celsius per hour until a temperature of about 10 degree Celsius above temperature of the air to which the concrete will be exposed, has been reached. The concrete shall not be exposed to temperature below freezing for at least six days after curing.

5.22. SUPPLY OF ILCB AT SITE

5.22.1. Initially, the Contractor shall supply sample PCC blocks 100 in number conforming to these specifications for approval by the OC Contract. On approval of samples, the Contractor shall commence the laying of ILC blocks for pavement work between KM 21.750 to Km 26.250 on road Ragini-Ustad-Pharkian Gali. Additional blocks required for prototype tests, as specified elsewhere in these documents. The rate quoted by the Contractor shall be deemed to inclusive of this.

5.23. QUALITY CONTROL

5.23.1. The Contractor shall establish a laboratory at the casting site, at his own cost, equipped with facilities for conducting following tests:

a) Gradation, Water absorption, Aggregate Impact value and deleterious constituents tests on Coarse Aggregates.

b) Gradation, Water absorption and deleterious constituents test on Fine Aggregates.

c) Initial and Final setting time tests of Cement.

d) Workability – slump test on fresh Concrete and compressive strength test of concrete cubes & paving PCC blocks.

5.23.2. The chemical tests on water shall be got done by the Contractor at his own cost, if facilities not available with him, from a reputed Laboratory approved by the OC Contract.
