aggregate at his own cost so as to give concrete which does comply with the requirements of this
Clause. The Contractor may be required to remove and replace at his own cost any concrete which
fails to attain the required strength as ascertained by the Works Cube Tests.

Unsatisfactory Concrete Work

E. Should in the opinion of the Engineer any of the results of the specified tests of concrete or materials
be unsatisfactory, the Engineer may order the work to be stopped pending his further instructions.
Executed work for which test cubes are unsatisfactory shall be liable to rejection and, if so directed
by the Engineer, the work represented by the tests shall be cut out and re-executed at the
Contractor's expense.

Preambles/11

A. In the case of seven day Works Cube Tests proving unsatisfactory, the work may be stopped, but
shall not be liable to rejection until the result of the twenty-eight day test is known.

B. In the event of the results of the twenty-eight day Works Cube Tests proving unsatisfactory, the work
represented shall be immediately liable to rejection. The Contractor may, however, be given the
option of cutting three specimens from the completed work subject to the direction of the Engineer,
and preparing therefrom test cubes or cores Tests in accordance with the requirements of Part 4 of
B.S. 1881 Part 3, 1983.which shall be sent to the Testing Laboratory for testing as for Works Cube

C. Should the average strength of these specimens attain the specified minimum twenty-eight day
strength, the work will, subject to the Engineer's discretion be accepted. Alternatively, the Engineer
may instruct the Contractor to make a loading test as described hereinafter. The cost of all cutting,
preparation of specimens, testing and making good the portions of the structure affected, shall be
borne by the Contractor. The cost of all delays on site due to concrete not attaining the desired
strength, or caused by investigation of defects, cutting away and making good, shall be entirely the
Contractor's responsibility.

Structural Test
D. If, in the Engineer's opinion, there is a doubt as to the strength of a structure, solely or in part, for the
reason that the site-made concrete cubes fail to attain the specified fail, the Contractor shall be
reimbursed for the cost of the test. If the result of the test is not satisfactory, the Contractor shall
bear the cost of the test and the cost of correcting any defects in accordance with the instructions of
the Engineer.strength, or because of one or more circumstances attributable to alleged negligence
on the part of the Contractor to make a loading test on the Works or any part thereof. The nature of
the test and the loading shall be in accordance with Clause 605 of C.P. 114. If the result of the test
is satisfactory, except where the test has been made because test cubes

Formwork
E. The formwork shall be so constructed as to remain sufficiently rigid during the placing compaction of
the concrete and shall be sufficiently tight to prevent loss of liquid from the concrete. Vertical
strutting shall be carried down to such construction as is sufficiently strong to afford the required
support without injury. All rubbish, chippings, shavings and sawdust shall be removed from the
interior of the forms before the concrete is placed, and suitable washout holes shall be provided to
facilitate this, and the formwork in contact with the concrete shall be clean and thoroughly wetted
and treated with the approved mould oil. Care shall be taken that such oil is kept out of contact with
the reinforcement and shall be used a sparingly as possible. In no circumstances shall forms be

Preambles/12
 Preambles
A. No formwork is to be removed if, in the opinion of the Engineer, the concrete has not hardened
sufficiently. Approval of the Engineer shall not relieve the Contactor of his liability to make good any
concrete which may be damaged by premature removal or collapse of forms. Notwithstanding any
other clauses in this specification the responsibility for the safe removal of the formwork rests with
the Contactor.

B. All formwork shall be removed without such shock or vibration as would damage the reinforced
concrete.

C. Forms shall be true to lines and levels and braced and strutted to prevent deformation.

D. Before placing of the concrete, bolts and fixings shall be in position and cores and other devices used

F. Formwork is measured to the actual net surface of the concrete to be supported and the Contractor
shall allow in his prices for any waste, fixing at the various levels, straight cuttings, splayed edges,
notchings, fillets to form chamfered arises, extra materials, joints, overleaves for angles, extra labour
for narrow widths and small quantities, props, stays, struts, hangers, brackets, edges, wiring, bolts,
and everything necessary to keep all quite firm and rigid, and any other labour and materials
necessary to fix, ease, adjust and remove the formwork as described.

Normal Finish to Faces of Structural Concrete

G. After removal of shuttering, unless instructed to the contrary, the face of exposed concrete is to be
rubbed down immediately to remove fins or other irregularities. In the event of parts of the concrete
being honeycombed, such portions are to be cut to a depth and shape required by the Engineer and
made up with fine concrete of equal quality in such a manner as shall be directed. The face of
concrete for which shuttering is not provided, other than slab, is to be smoothed with a wooden float
to give a finish equal to that of the rubbed-down surface where shuttering is provided. The top face
of a slab which is to not intended to cover with other materials is to be levelled and floated before
setting to a smooth finish at the level or falls shown on the drawings or elsewhere. The floating must
be carried out in such a way as will prevent an excess or mortar being brought to the surface of the
concrete. The top face of a slab intended to be surfaced with mortar, granolithic, or similar materials
is to be brushed with a stiff broom while still green to remove any laitence © and to provide a
roughened surface.

satisfactory by the Engineer. All ground to carry reinforced concrete shall be covered with a 50 mm
minimum blinding layer of concrete 1:4:8. The cover for concrete under reinforcement shall be
entirely above the blinding layer.

Mixing

B. Concrete is to be mixed in a batch mixer of approved type having a drum rotating about a horizontal
or inclined axis. The speed of the drum is to be not more than twenty and not less than fourteen
revolutions per minute. Each mixer is to be fitted with a water measuring device capable of accurate
measurement to one gallon for one cubic yard mixers and pro rate for smaller sizes and so arranged
that the accuracy is not affected by variations in the pressure of the water supply line.

C. The fine and coarse aggregate and the cement are to be mixed for at least four turns of the drum,
after which the required amount of water is to be added gradually while the drum is in motion and
the concrete then mixed for at least one and a half minutes and until a mix of uniform colour and
consistency is attained.

D. The volume of concrete mixed in any one batch is not to exceed the rated capacity of the mixer.

E. The whole of the mixed batch is to be removed before materials for a fresh batch enter the drum.

F. On cessation of work, including all stoppages exceeding twenty minutes, the mixers and all handling
plant are to be washed out with clean water.

G. Concrete mixed as above is not to be modified by the addition of water or otherwise in order to

Clerk of Works. The slump shall not exceed 75 mm but at 25 mm slump may be allowed by the
Engineer in certain structural members.

Transporting

J. Concrete is to be handled from the place of mixing to the place of final deposit as rapidly as
practicable by the methods which will prevent segregation or loss of ingredients and maintain the
required workability. It should be deposited as nearly as practicable in its final position to avoid
rehandling.

K. Concrete shall be placed into the forms from as small a height as possible and shall in no case be
dropped from a height of more than 1500 mm except with the approval of the Engineer.

Preambles/15
 Preambles

A. When chuting is used, the inclination of the chute must be such as to allow the concrete to flow
without the use of excessive water and without segregation or loss of the ingredients. Details of any
proposed chuting plant must be approved by the Engineer before the plant is delivered to the site.

B. If the Contractor wishes to distribute concrete by means of pumps, full details of the system must be
made available to the Engineer for approval.

Placing and Consolidation

C. The concrete shall be placed before setting has commenced and in any case within thirty minutes
from the time the water is added, and must not be subsequently disturbed. Concrete shall be
thoroughly compacted during the operation of placing, and thoroughly worked around the
reinforcement, around embedded fixtures, and into corners of the formwork. Mechanical vibration
with an approved type insertion vibrator shall be used.

D. The use of mechanical vibration will not relive the Contractor of his responsibility for making good
work which may be damaged by excessive or ill-applied vibration.

E. All methods of placing and consolidation of the concrete are to be such as not to cause any
disturbance or movement to the formwork or reinforcement. After being placed in position, the
concrete is to be left absolutely undisturbed by any movements or thrusts while setting.

F. An accurate record is to be kept by the Contractor showing dates and times when various portions of
the work were concreted. The concreting foreman must not vary the approved mix or water content
without the permission of the representative of the Engineer. it may occasionally be found that in
constructed structural members or where the proportion of reinforcement to concrete is high, the
workability of the concrete must be increased locally in order to effect full compaction. Such
increase in workability shall be achieved by an increase in the cement content of not more than 10%
of the concrete by weight in any single batch and must be made only with the approval of the
representative of the Engineer.

G. The workability of the concrete must never be altered by the use of additional water or sand alone.

Construction Joint
H. The form and location of all construction joints shall be approved by the Engineer before
commencement of work.

Preambles/16
 Preambles
A The Centering to form the stop shall be fitted with splay fillets on the concrete face and will be firmly
fixed and scribed around the reinforcing steel. If any concrete shall flow past the stop, it shall be
hacked off as soon as the concrete has set. Before any new concrete is placed up against the
stopped face, the concrete previously placed shall be hacked and scoured with a wire brush to
remove the scum. The joint shall then be soaked with water and covered with a sand cement mortar
of proportions in the same ration in the concrete used. In all cases of application of mortar the
punning must be adequate to incorporate the mortar in the body of the concrete. In no
circumstances shall the concrete be allowed to finish at a break running down a rough slope. Such
cases, if found, will be treated as contrary to the specification and the Contractor will be required to
cut out the member and re-cast. In the case of horizontal joints, any excess water and laitence shall
be removed from the surface after the concrete is deposited and before it has set.

B Before casting slabs the haunchings or seatings for the slab shall be thoroughly hacked, scoured and
washed and covered with at least 5 mm of mortar immediately before the slab is cast.

C Slabs to be cast using alternate bay construction, maximum size of single panel 40 square meters.

Column Plinths
D Column kicker plinths 75 mm high not cast monolithically with the beam or slab will be allowed only
at the discretion of the Engineer and special precautions must be taken if permission is granted,
especially in regard to the quality of the mix used and the curing of concrete.

Curing
E The curing of the concrete must receive particularly careful attention. The concrete shall be covered
