MIX DESIGNS PREPARED BY N.D.TOAN 5.1 SAMPLES Samples of all materials to be used in the mix shall be submitted to the Engineer and such samples shall be tested in site laboratories as directed by the Engineer. No materials forming any part of this mix shall be delivered to the Site before the Contractor receives the prior written approval of the Engineer for such material. 5.2 MIX DESIGN (a) After receiving written approval by the Engineer of the samples, the Contractor shall submit in writing to the Engineer a proposed mix design proportioned by weight and based on trial mixes conducted with the approved materials to be used for each specified class of concrete for the project. (b) No concrete works will be allowed to commence before the Contractor receives, in writing from the Engineer, approval of the Contractor’s proposed mix design. (c) The Contractor must make arrangements for all the foregoing as early as possible and to allow the Engineer sufficient time to review the design(s) and if necessary conduct and/or require additional strength testing. (d) In the event of any changes in characteristics or source of supply of any of the component parts, a new mix design must be submitted for approval by the Engineer as TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS DIVISION 6 Created on 18/04/2000 16:05:00 06100 8 of 33
- DIVISION 6 CONCRETE AND CONCRETE STRUCTURES Concrete and Concrete StructuresSection 06100 described. Any delay due to such changes will be entirely the responsibility of the Contractor and no claims for delay or compensation will be considered. During the currency of the Contract the Engineer can direct samples be taken of the work mix at any time, in order to check their compliance with the approved mix design. 5.3 ADJUSTMENTS DURING PROGRESS OF WORK After a mix design has been approved, as prescribed above, these proportions of the constituents of the mix design shall not be changed during the progress of the work except as follows: (a) Adjustments for variations in workability: If it is found impossible to obtain concrete of the desired workability with the ♦ proportions originally determined, the Engineer may allow changes in aggregate weights as he may deem appropriate. (b) Adjustment for variation in yield: If the cement content of the concrete, determined by means of the yield test ♦ ASTM Designation C 138, varies more than two (2) percent from the designated value, the proportions shall be adjusted so as to maintain a cement content which does not vary more than two (2) percent from the designated PREPARED BY N.D.TOAN value. (c) Adjustment for minimum strength: If it is found impossible to produce concrete having the minimum allowable ♦ strength specified, the cement content shall be increased as directed by the Engineer. (d) Adjustment for new materials: No change in the source or character of the materials shall be made without due ♦ notice to the Engineer. No new materials shall be used until the Engineer has accepted such materials ♦ and new proportions based on the tests of trial mixes have been determined. 5.4 CONTENTS OF CHLORIDES AND SULPHATES The amount of chlorides in the concrete mass shall not exceed 1,000 ppm when calculated on the total concrete mass, or 6,000 ppm when calculated on the amount of cement in the actual mix. The amount of sulphate in the concrete shall not exceed 800 ppm when calculated on the total concrete mass, or 5,000 ppm when calculated on the amount of the cement in the actual mix. For the above-mentioned calculations, the amounts of chlorides and sulphates shall be determined by laboratory analyses of the cement, aggregates, water and admixtures. The analyses shall be carried out by recognized methods. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS DIVISION 6 Created on 18/04/2000 16:05:00 06100 9 of 33
- DIVISION 6 CONCRETE AND CONCRETE STRUCTURES Concrete and Concrete StructuresSection 06100 6. WATER - CEMENT RATIO (a) The quantity of water used in mixing shall be approved by the Engineer on the basis of preliminary tests and trial mixes and shall be the least amount that will produce a workable homogeneous plastic mixture which can be worked into the forms and around the reinforcement. In no circumstances shall the consistency of the concrete be such as to permit a separation of the aggregate from the mortar during handling. Excess water shall not be permitted and any batch containing such excess will be rejected. (b) In measuring water for each batch of concrete, allowance shall be made for the water contained in the aggregates. The total water in the batch shall be deemed to consist of the water carried by the aggregates plus the water added. (c) Frequent tests including the slump test shall be carried out to ensure that a consistent water content is maintained. 7. TESTING (a) In addition to all previously mentioned tests, the following tests shall be carried out. All tests must be carried out in a manner acceptable to the Engineer and shall be conducted by the Contractors Independent Laboratory. The Contractor shall bear all expenses involved in obtaining, cutting-out or sampling all specimens and/or PREPARED BY N.D.TOAN component parts for testing. (b) Test cylinders shall be taken for each new grade of concrete or from each 100 cubic meters of concrete when the same grade is being used continuously, or as directed by the Engineer. Nine (9) test cylinders shall be taken at each time and each numbered consecutively and marked with the date, the section of work from which it was taken and any other information required and dispatched to the approved laboratory for testing for compressive strength. Cylinders Numbers 1,5 and 9 shall be tested after 7 days. (c) If the average of the three 7-day test cylinders is below 75 percent of the minimum 28 day requirement, the Contractor must immediately stop all concreting until checks are made on the material and equipment and immediately rectify any defect which has become apparent as the result of such checking. If the Contractor elects to remove and replace the defective concrete without waiting for the results of the 28-day test, concreting can then continue entirely at the responsibility of the Contractor. Cylinder numbers 2 and 8, 3 and 7, and 4 and 6 will be considered three individual samples or sets and after 28 days of curing shall be tested as specified above. If either of the cylinders in any set shows definite evidence, other than low strength, of improper sampling, molding, handling, curing or testing, it shall be discarded and the strength of the remaining cylinder shall then be considered the test result of that set. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS DIVISION 6 Created on 18/04/2000 16:05:00 06100 10 of 33
- DIVISION 6 CONCRETE AND CONCRETE STRUCTURES Concrete and Concrete StructuresSection 06100 (d) Final acceptance of the concrete works is based on 28 days’ testing on the three sets of two cylinders each. The work is considered in compliance if the average of the three sets of cylinders equals or exceeds the minimum specified for the class of concrete being placed and if the average of the two cylinders in any one set does not fall below the specified minimum strength by more than 35 kg/cm2. If the results of the 28-day testing are unsatisfactory, the Contractor, in accordance with the instructions of the Engineer, shall conduct tests in the suspect parts of the structure. Should the tests prove that the concrete is unsatisfactory or below the standards specified, the Engineer may order the concrete to be removed and replaced with concrete of the specified quality or accepted at a reduced payment. All the above shall be at the expense and responsibility of the Contractor. 7.1 SLUMPS (a) Recommended limitations for slump are given in Table No. 3 above. The method of making the slump test shall conform to ASTM C 143. (b) One slump test, or more as directed by the Engineer, shall be carried out on every batch of concrete produced, and the test shall not be deemed to have been carried out unless witnessed by the Engineer or his representative. (c) Mixes of the stiffest consistency that can be placed efficiently shall be used. Over wet mixes will be rejected. PREPARED BY N.D.TOAN 8. FORMWORK 8.1 DESIGN (a) All formwork shall be the responsibility of the Contractor, who shall submit shop drawings, calculations, materials and manufactured goods, to the Engineer for approval at least 3 weeks before construction of the forms. (b) The shop drawings shall show the proposed details of construction such as sizes of members, spacing of bents, posts, studs, walers, stringers, collars, bolts, wedges, bracing, rate of pour, and the manufacturer’s recommended safe working capacity of all form ties and column clasps. All assumptions, dimensions, material properties and other data used in making the structural analysis shall be noted on the shop drawings. Upon request, the Contractor shall furnish copies of the design calculations to the Engineer for examination as a condition for approval. (c) When prefabricated formwork, shoring or scaffolding units are used, the manufacturer’s recommendations for allowable loads may be followed if supported by test reports or successful experience records. For materials which will experience substantial reuse, reduced allowable load values may be required. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS DIVISION 6 Created on 18/04/2000 16:05:00 06100 11 of 33

Different release agents shall not be used in formwork to concrete which will be visible in the finished Works. (b) Immediately before concreting, all forms shall be thoroughly cleaned out. 9. CONCRETING 9.1 GENERAL (a) All concrete shall be machine mixed. The location of the batching and mixing plant shall be agreed with the Engineer and the Contractor must submit to the Engineer for approval, before erection of any mixing plant, his proposed arrangements for the storing of aggregates and the batching and mixing of the concrete. He must also submit details of the type or types of mixers and machines to be used, and his proposals for conveying the mixed concrete from the mixer to the points of deposit. (b) All concrete shall be batched by weight unless otherwise directed by the Engineer. The weight-batching machines used shall be of a type approved by the Engineer and shall be kept accurate and in good condition while in use on the Works. Checks are to be made as required by the Engineer to determine that the weighing devices are registering correctly. Each mixer shall be fitted with a water measuring device having an accuracy within one percent of the quantity of water required for the batch. The measuring device shall be such that its accuracy is not affected by variations in the PREPARED BY N.D.TOAN water supply pressure. (c) In the event aggregate batching is by volume, the cement shall be batched by weight and the water by weight or volume. Each size of aggregate shall be measured in a metallic container, the depth of which is at least equal to its greatest width. The containers shall be of such shape that their volume can be easily checked by measurement. (d) The approved type of mixer shall have a drum rotating about a horizontal or inclined axis and must be kept in good condition at all times. The drum shall rotate at the appropriate speed. Continuous mixers will not be permitted. (e) The amount of concrete mixed in any one batch shall not exceed the rated capacity of the mixer. The whole of the batch shall be removed before materials for a fresh batch enter the drum. On cessation of work, including all stoppages exceeding 20 minutes, the mixers and all handling plant shall be washed with clean water. Any deposits of old concrete in the drum shall be cleaned out by rotating clean aggregate and water in the drum before any fresh concrete is mixed. (f) Concrete mixed as specified above shall not be modified by the addition of water or in any other manner to facilitate handling or for any other reason.

- DIVISION 6 CONCRETE AND CONCRETE STRUCTURES Concrete and Concrete StructuresSection 06100 9.2 PLACING AND COMPACTING (a) Immediately after mixing, the concrete shall be transported to the place of final deposit by methods that will prevent the separation, loss or contamination of any of the ingredients. Any method involving the use of pipes or chutes for transporting concrete will not be permitted, except with the written approval of the Engineer. (b) Transport of concrete from the mixers shall be as rapid as possible and the Contractor shall always be responsible for the concrete being placed and compacted within such a time from the addition of the water to the mixer that the previous lift of concrete has not commenced setting. (c) Before any concrete is placed, the formwork shall be thoroughly cleaned of all dirt, shavings, loose stones and other debris. (d) Forms shall be treated with a non-staining material or shall be saturated with water immediately before the concrete is placed. For all exposed surfaces, the forms shall be treated with a non-staining material, as approved by the Engineer, to prevent the adherence to the concrete. The forms shall be free from any material that shall adhere to or discolor the concrete. (e) The concrete shall be placed gently in position and shall not have a free fall of more than one meter. PREPARED BY N.D.TOAN (f) Concrete shall be placed so as to prevent water from collecting at the ends, corners or along the faces of the forms, and water shall not be placed in large quantities at a given point and allowed to run or be worked over a long distance in the form. (g) All concrete shall be placed and compacted in even layers with each batch adjoining the previous one. (h) The thickness of concrete layers shall be between 15 and 30 cm for reinforced concrete and up to 45 cm for unreinforced concrete. (i) The concrete shall be carefully and continually compacted and worked around the reinforcement steel and into the corners of the formwork so that the concrete shall be in close contact with the reinforcement steel and free from honeycombing. (j) The concrete shall be compacted by a suitable mechanical or electromechanical poker vibrators. Over-vibration of concrete in the formwork by means of vibrators will not be permitted. (k) The poker vibrators shall have a diameter compatible with the spacing of the reinforcement, shall be of sufficiently high frequency, and shall be properly handled by experienced personnel. They shall be immersed at regular intervals of approximately 10 times the diameter of the vibrator and to such a depth that the fresh TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS DIVISION 6 Created on 18/04/2000 16:05:00 06100 14 of 33
- DIVISION 6 CONCRETE AND CONCRETE STRUCTURES Concrete and Concrete StructuresSection 06100 concrete will be worked into that previously placed. Care shall be taken not to displace the reinforcement nor to disturb or affect partially set concrete. Vibrators shall not be attached to the reinforcement in any circumstances. Each immersion shall continue until shortly after air bubbles cease to appear on the surface of the concrete, but shall not last more than 30 seconds. The vibrators shall be withdrawn gradually and vertically to ensure that no air pockets are formed. (l) The Contractor shall provide “stand-by” vibrators during all concrete pours. (m) All vibration, compaction and finishing operations shall be completed immediately after the placing of concrete in its final position. (n) Workers shall not be permitted to walk over freshly placed concrete until it has hardened sufficiently to carry their weight without distortion. (o) Care shall be taken to ensure that reinforcement projecting from concrete recently placed is not shaken or disturbed so as to destroy or damage the initial set of the concrete in contact with it. (p) Concreting in any one part or section of the work shall be carried out in one continuous operation and no interruption of concerning work will be allowed. (q) Freshly placed concrete shall be adequately protected from rain, dust storms, PREPARED BY N.D.TOAN chemical attack and the harmful effects of sun, heat, wind, flowing water, vibrations and shocks. It shall also be fenced off or otherwise protected to prevent persons from walking thereon or articles being placed or thrown thereon. This protection shall continue until the concrete is sufficiently set such that it can no longer be damaged by these factors. The Engineer may determine when the protection is no longer required, but in any case this shall not be less than 24 hours after the time of placing. (r) The Contractor shall take all necessary precautions to prevent differential temperatures across any concrete element exceeding 200 C during concrete placing and curing. 9.3 WEATHER PRECAUTIONS (a) During hot weather, steps shall be taken to reduce the concrete temperature and rate of water evaporation by proper attention to the cooling of the mixing water before use, production methods and the handling and curing. (b) The concrete mixing plant shall be screened and covered as a protection from wind, rain and sun and adequate similar precautions taken throughout the transit, placing and curing of the concrete whenever conditions require them.

(d) Shading of aggregates and plant, the cooling of mixing water and other steps taken shall be to the satisfaction of the Engineer. (e) Fresh concrete placed at temperatures of 35 degrees or higher shall be shaded from the direct rays of the sun to the satisfaction of the Engineer. 9.4 CONTINUITY OF CONCRETE WORK (a) Whenever instructed by the Engineer, the Contractor shall carry out the work in such a manner that the placing of the concrete in any particular section of the structure shall be executed without any interruption whatsoever from the beginning to the end of the operation. If interruptions are permitted, no fresh concrete shall be deposited on or against the concrete placed before the interruption until the latter is sufficiently set to resist injury. (b) Particular care shall be taken to ensure that partially set concrete shall not be damaged by shock or any other cause whatsoever. (c) Casting of concrete shall not commence until a sufficient quantity of approved PREPARED BY N.D.TOAN material is at hand to ensure continuity of operation. (d) Concrete work shall not commence until there is sufficient equipment in reserve in case of breakdown. 9.5 BATCHING Measuring and batching of materials shall be done at a batching plant. 9.5.1 PORTLAND CEMENT (a) 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. (b) 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 during operation. The discharge chute shall not be suspended from the weighing hopper and shall be so arranged that cement will not lodge in it nor leak from it. (c) Accuracy of batching shall be within plus or minus 1 percent of the required weight. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS DIVISION 6 Created on 18/04/2000 16:05:00 06100 16 of 33

The accuracy of measuring the water shall be within plus or minus one percent of the required weight or volume. 9.5.3 AGGREGATES (a) All aggregates produced or handled by hydraulic methods and washed aggregates shall be stockpiled or binned for draining at least 12 hours before being batched. In case the aggregates contain high or non-uniform moisture content, a storage or stockpile period in excess of 12 hours may be required by the Engineer. (b) The accuracy of measuring the aggregates shall be within plus or minus two percent of the required weights. 9.5.4 BINS AND SCALES (a) The batching plant shall include separate bins for the bulk cements, fine aggregate and for each size of coarse aggregate, a weighing hopper, and scales capable of determining accurately the weight of each component of the batch. (b) Scales shall be accurate to one percent throughout the range of use. PREPARED BY N.D.TOAN 9.6 MIXING AND DELIVERY (a) 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. (b) Mixing and delivery of concrete shall be in accordance with the appropriate requirements of ASTM C-94 except as modified in the following paragraphs of this Subsection for truck mixing or a combination of central point and truck mixing or truck agitating. Delivery of concrete shall be so regulated 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 in place to harden partially, and in no case shall such an interval exceed 45 minutes. (c) Additional mixing water and/or admixture may not be added on the Work Site unless specifically authorized by the Engineer and if the water/cement ratio in the approved job mix is not exceeded and the truck mixer is loaded to no more than 70 percent of its rated capacity. (d) The mixer shall be operated at the drum speed as indicated on the manufacturer’s name plate on the mixer. Any concrete mixed less than the specified time shall be discarded and disposed of by the Contractor. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS DIVISION 6 Created on 18/04/2000 16:05:00 06100 17 of 33
