The concrete should be carefully observed for freedom from segregation and bleeding and finishing. The cement content 1c adjusted for any change in compacting factor and the mixed proplortione are recalculated keeping water - cement ratio as the selected level, PRECAUTIONS 1. Sieving of coarse and fine aggregate should be done Properly for checking zone in IS: 383, Water absorption of coarse and fine aggregate should be calculated Properly. Also have to check if fine aggregate contain free moisture. . Specific gravity of cement, coarse and fine aggregate should: be calculated properly. E 4. Weight of constituent should be taken properly. » For proper mixing the aggregates should be mix first, Then cement is added. . Immediately after mix slump value should be taken and cube should be cast as early as possible. ; Cubes should not be placed for long time on table vibrator Otherwise Coarse aggregates will accumulated at the botto: Paste will come out on top of cubes, Cubes should be properly cured in water after . Before testing the cubes its surface should applied at the opposite face of casting mM of cubes and cement 24 hrs of casting. be dry and load should be
