The document discusses specifications for various construction materials including cement, concrete admixtures, soils, and geotextiles. It provides requirements for cement such as storage conditions and testing. Additives for cement and concrete are only permitted with engineer approval. Soil types for filling work must meet specifications for liquid limit, plasticity index, and maximum dry density. Geotextiles/geofabrics are also referenced but no details are given.

Any extra test instructed by the Engineer whose result proves the material to be out ofspecification shall be carried out at no extra cost. If for any reason the period of storage ofconsignment of cement exceeds three months, a representative sample of the cement shall be retestedto confirm its suitability before use at no extra cost.
The Contractor shall provide suitable means of storing and protecting the cement against dampness, Cement which, for any reason has become partially set or which contains lumps of caked cement shall be rejected.
No additives for cement shall be used unless agreed by the Engineer.
1703.1 Cement Grout
Cement grout for grouting dowels shall consist of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) and water mixed in the proportions necessary for the intended purpose.
Cement used for grouting soil nails shall be Type – A, Portland cement complying with (BS196 or BS197).Grout material should be non-expansive and non-shrinkage material. Therefore, admixture has to be added to avoid shrinkage effect of cement. The Contractor should be obtained prior approval for the admixture before use site at site from the Engineer.
The grout shall be mixed until a uniform consistency is obtained and shall normally be used within 45 minutes of mixing.
1703.2 Cement Mortar
No change
1704 CONCRETE ADMIXTURE (Chapter 1000 and others)
Concrete admixture as retarders, accelerators or as plasticizers shall be used with the prior approval of the Engineer only and they shall be used strictly in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.
In the use of additives particular attention should be paid to the accurate proportioning of the additive and its homogeneous introduction in the mix.
