405.4.2 Consistency

Concrete shall have a consistency such that it will be workable in the required
position. It shall be of such a consistency that it will flow around reinforcing steel but
individual particles of the coarse aggregate when isolated shall show a coating of
mortar containing its proportionate amount of sand. The consistency of concrete
shall be gauged by the ability of the equipment to properly place it and not by the
difficulty in mixing and transporting. The quantity of mixing water shall be
determined by the Engineer and shall not be varied without his consent. Concrete
as dry as it is practical to place with the equipment specified shall be used.

405.4.3 Batching

Measuring and batching of materials shall be done at a batching plant.

1. Portland Cement

Either sacked or bulk cement may be used. No fraction of a sack of

cement shall be used in a batch of concrete unless the cement is weighed.
All bulk cement shall be weighed on an approved weighing device. The
bulk cement weighing hopper shall be properly sealed and vented to
preclude dusting operation. The discharge chute shall not be suspended
from the weighing hopper and shall be so arranged that cement will neither
be lodged in it nor leak from it.
Technical Specifications

Accuracy of batching shall be within plus (+) or minus (-) 1 mass

percent.

2. Water

Water may be measured either by volume or by weight. The accuracy

of measuring the water shall be within a range of error of not more than 1
percent.

3. Aggregates

Stockpiling of aggregates shall be in accordance with Subsection

311.2.10. All aggregates whether produced or handled by hydraulic
methods or washed, shall be stockpiled or binned for draining for at least
12 hours prior to batching. Rail shipment requiring more than12 hours will
be accepted as adequate binning only if the car bodies permit free
drainage. If the aggregates contain high or non-uniform moisture content,
storage or stockpile period in excess of 12 hours may be required by the
Engineer.

Batching shall be conducted as to result in a 2 mass percent maximum

tolerance for the required materials.

4. Bins and Scales

The batching plant shall include separate bins for bulk cement, fine
aggregate and for each size of coarse aggregate, a weighing hopper, and
scales capable of determining accurately the mass of each component of
the batch.

Scales shall be accurate to one-half (0.5) percent throughout the range

used.

5. Batching

When batches are hauled to the mixer, bulk cement shall be

transported either in waterproof compartments or between the fine and
coarse aggregate. When cement is placed in contact with moist
aggregates, batches will be rejected unless mixed within 1-1/2 hours of
such contact. Sacked cement may be transported on top of the
aggregates.

Batches shall be delivered to the mixer separate and intact. Each

batch shall be dumped cleanly into the mixer without loss, and, when more
than one batch is carried on the truck, without spilling of material from one
batch compartment into another.

6. Admixtures
Technical Specifications

The Contractor shall follow an approved procedure for adding the

specified amount of admixture to each batch and will be responsible for its
uniform operation during the progress of the work. He shall provide
separate scales for the admixtures which are to be proportioned by weight,
and accurate measures for those to be proportioned by volume.
Admixtures shall be measured into the mixer with an accuracy of plus or
minus three (3) percent.

The use of Calcium Chloride as an admixture will not be permitted.

405.4.4 Mixing and Delivery

Concrete may be mixed at the site of construction, at a central point or by a

combination of central point and truck mixing or by a combination of central point
mixing and truck agitating. Mixing and delivery of concrete shall be in accordance
with the appropriate requirements of AASHTO M 157 except as modified in the
following paragraphs of this section, for truck mixing or a combination of central point
and truck mixing or truck agitating. Delivery of concrete shall be regulated so that
placing is at a continuous rate unless delayed by the placing operations. The
intervals between delivery of batches shall not be so great as to allow the concrete
inplace to harden partially, and in no case shall such an interval exceed 30 minutes.

In exceptional cases and when volumetric measurements are authorized, for

small project requiring less than 75 cu.m. per day of pouring, the weight proportions
shall be converted to equivalent volumetric proportions. In such cases, suitable
allowance shall be made for variations in the moisture condition of the aggregates,
including the bulking effect in the fine aggregate. Batching and mixing shall be in
accordance with ASTM C 685, Section 6 through 9.

Concrete mixing, by chute is allowed provided that a weighing scales for

determining the batch weight will be used.

For batch mixing at the site of construction or at a central point, a batch mixer
of an approved type shall be used. Mixer having a rated capacity of less than a one-
bag batch shall not be used. The volume of concrete mixed per batch shall not
exceed the mixer’s nominal capacity as shown on the manufacturer’s standard rating
plate on the mixer except that an overload up to 10 percent above the mixer’s
nominal capacity may be permitted, provided concrete test data for strength,
segregation, and uniform consistency are satisfactory and provided no spillage of
concrete takes place. The batch shall be so charge into the drum that a portion of
the water shall enter in advance of the cement and aggregates. The flow of water
shall be uniform and all water shall be in the drum by the end of the first 15 seconds
of the mixing period. Mixing time shall be measured from the time all materials,
except water, are in the drum. Mixing time shall not be less than 60 seconds for
mixers having a capacity of 1.5m3 or less. For mixers having a capacity greater than
1.5m3, the mixing time shall not be less than 90 seconds. If timing starts, the instant
the skip reaches its maximum raised position, 4 seconds shall be added to the
specified mixing time. Mixing time ends when the discharge chute opens.
Technical Specifications

The mixer shall be operated at the drum speed as shown on the

manufacturer’s name plate on the mixer. Any concrete mixed less than the specified
time shall be discarded and disposed off by the Contractor at his own expenses.

The timing device on stationary mixers shall be equipped with a bell or other
suitable warning device adjusted to give a clearly audible signal each time the lock is
released. In case of failure of the timing device, the Contractor will be permitted to
continue operations while it is being repaired, provided he furnishes an approved
timepiece equipped with minute and second hands. If the timing device is not placed
in good working order within 24 hours, further use of the mixer will be prohibited until
repairs are made.

Retempering concrete will not be permitted. Admixtures for increasing the

workability, for retarding the set, or for accelerating the set or improving the pumping
characteristics of the concrete will be permitted only when specifically provided for in
the Contract, or authorized in writing by the Engineer.

1. Mixing Concrete: General

Concrete shall be thoroughly mixed in a mixer of an approved size and

type that will insure a uniform distribution of the materials throughout the
mass.

All concrete shall be mixed in mechanically operated mixers. Mixing

plant and equipment for transporting and placing concrete shall be
arranged with an ample auxiliary installation to provide a minimum supply
of concrete in case of breakdown of machinery or in case the normal
supply of concrete is disrupted. The auxiliary supply of concrete shall be
sufficient to complete the casting of a section up to a construction joint that
will meet the approval of the Engineer.

Equipment having components made of aluminum or magnesium

alloys, which would have contact with plastic concrete during mixing,
transporting or pumping of Portland Cement concrete, shall not be used.

Concrete mixers shall be equipped with adequate water storage and a

device of accurately measuring and automatically controlling the amount of
water used.

Materials shall be measured by weighing. The apparatus provided for

weighing the aggregates and cement shall be suitably designed and
constructed for this purpose. The accuracy of all weighing devices except
that for water shall be such that successive quantities can be measured to
within one percent of the desired amounts. The water measuring device
shall be accurate to plus or minus 0.5 mass percent. All measuring
devices shall be subject to the approval of the Engineer. Scales and
measuring devices shall be tested at the expense of the Contractor as
frequently as the Engineer may deem necessary to insure their accuracy.
Technical Specifications

Weighing equipment shall be insulated against vibration or movement

of other operating equipment in the plant. When the entire plant is
running, the scale reading at cut-off shall not vary from the weight
designated by the Engineer more than one mass percent for cement, 1-1/2
mass percent for any size of aggregate, or one (1) mass percent for the
total aggregate in any batch.

2. Mixing Concrete at Site

Concrete mixers may be of the revolving drum or the revolving blade

type and the mixing drum or blades shall be operated uniformly at the
mixing speed recommended by the manufacturer. The pick-up and throw-
over blades of mixers shall be restored or replaced when any part or
section is worn 20mm or more below the original height of the
manufacturer’s design. Mixers and agitators which have an accumulation
of hard concrete or mortar shall not be used.

When bulk cement is used and volume of the batch is 0.5m 3 or more,
the scale and weigh hopper for Portland Cement shall be separate and
distinct from the aggregate hopper or hoppers. The discharge mechanism
of the bulk cement weigh hopper shall be interlocked against opening
before the full amount of cement is in the hopper. The discharging
mechanism shall also be interlocked against opening when the amount of
cement in the hopper is underweight by more than one (1) mass percent
or overweight by more than 3 mass percent of the amount specified.

When the aggregate contains more water than the quantity necessary
to produce a saturated surface dry condition, representative samples shall
be taken and the moisture content determined for each kind of aggregate.

The batch shall be so charged into the mixer that some water will enter
in advance of cement and aggregate. All water shall be in the drum by the
end of the first quarter of the specified mixing time.

Cement shall be batched and charged into the mixer so that it will not
result in loss of cement due to the effect of wind, or in accumulation of
cement on surface of conveyors or hoppers, or in other conditions which
reduce or vary the required quantity of cement in the concrete mixture.

The entire content of a batch mixer shall be removed from the drum
before materials for a succeeding batch are placed therein. The materials
composing a batch except water shall be deposited simultaneously into
the mixer.

All concrete shall be mixed for a period of not less than 1-1/2 minutes
after all materials, including water, are in the mixer. During the period of
mixing, the mixer shall operate at the speed for which it has been
designed.
Technical Specifications

Mixers shall be operated with an automatic timing device that can be

locked by the Engineer. The time device and discharge mechanics shall
be so interlocked that during normal operation no part of the batch will be
charged until the specified mixing time has elapsed.

The first batch of concrete materials placed in the mixer shall contain a
sufficient excess of cement, sand, and water to coat inside of the drum
without reducing the required mortar content of the mix. When mixing is to
cease for a period of one hour or more, the mixer shall be thoroughly
cleaned.

3. Mixing Concrete at Central Plant

Mixing at central plant shall conform to the requirements for mixing at

the site.

4. Mixing Concrete in Truck

Truck mixers, unless otherwise authorized by the Engineer, shall be of

the revolving drum type, water-tight, and so constructed that the concrete
can be mixed to insure a uniform distribution of materials throughout the
mass. All solid materials for the concrete shall be accurately measured
and charged into the drum at the proportioning plant. Except as
subsequently provided, the truck mixer shall be equipped with a device by
which the quantity of water added can be readily verified. The mixing
water may be added directly to the batch, in which case a tank is not
required. Truck mixers may be required to be provided with a means of
which the mixing time can be readily verified by the Engineer.

The maximum size of batch in truck mixers shall not exceed the
minimum rated capacity of the mixer as stated by the manufacturer and
stamped in metal on the mixer. Truck mixing, shall, unless other-wise
directed be continued for not less than 100 revolutions after all ingredients,
including water, are in the drum. The mixing speed shall not be less than
4 rpm, nor more than 6 rpm.

Mixing shall begin within 30 minutes after the cement has been added
either to the water or aggregate, but when cement is charged into a mixer
drum containing water or surface wet aggregate and when the
temperature is above 32oC, this limit shall be reduced to 15 minutes. The
limitation in time between the introduction of the cement to the aggregate
and the beginning of the mixing may be waived when, in the judgement of
the Engineer, the aggregate is sufficiently free from moisture, so that there
will be no harmful effects on the cement.

When a truck mixer is used for transportation, the mixing time specified
in Subsection 405.4.4 (3) at a stationary mixer may be reduced to 30
seconds and the mixing completed in a truck mixer. The mixing time in the
truck mixer shall be as specified for truck mixing.
Technical Specifications

5. Transporting Mixed Concrete

Mixed concrete may only be transported to the delivery point in truck

agitators or truck mixers operating at the speed designated by the
manufacturers of the equipment as agitating speed, or in non-agitating
hauling equipment, provided the consistency and workability of the mixed
concrete upon discharge at the delivery point is suitable point for
adequate placement and consolidation in place.

Truck agitators shall be loaded not to exceed the manufacturer’s

guaranteed capacity. They shall maintain the mixed concrete in a
thoroughly mixed and uniform mass during hauling.

No additional mixing water shall be incorporated into the concrete

during hauling or after arrival at the delivery point.

The rate of discharge of mixed concrete from truck mixers or agitators

shall be controlled by the speed of rotation of the drum in the discharge
direction with the discharge gate fully open.

When a truck mixer or agitator is used for transporting concrete to the

delivery point, discharge shall be completed within one hour, or before 250
revolutions of the drum or blades, whichever comes first, after the
introduction of the cement to the aggregates. Under conditions
contributing to quick stiffening of the concrete or when the temperature of
the concrete is 30oC, or above, a time less than one hour will be required.

6. Delivery of Mixed Concrete

The Contractor shall have sufficient plant capacity and transportation

apparatus to insure continuous delivery at the rate required. The rate of
delivery of concrete during concreting operations shall be such as to
provide for the proper handling, placing and finishing of the concrete. The
rate shall be such that the interval between batches shall not exceed 20
minutes. The methods of delivering and handling the concrete shall be
such as will facilitate placing of the minimum handling.

405.5 Method of Measurement

The quantity of structural concrete to be paid for will be the final quantity
placed and accepted in the completed structure. No deduction will be made for the
volume occupied by pipe less than 100mm (4 inches) in diameter or by reinforcing
steel, anchors, conduits, weep holes or expansion joint materials.
