C.A.No.01/<strong>CIDCO</strong>/SE(KHR)/EE(KHR-I)/2010–11 Pg. No. 355<br />

strength, impermeability, desired workability, the maximum size of<br />

aggregate and also the various cements. Accordingly the required<br />

cement content shall be ascertained.<br />

5.7.3 For each grade a total of 18 cubes and 3 cylinders of size 150 mm dia<br />

and 160 mm highs shall be made. Of these 18 cubes made not more<br />

than 6 may be made on any day and further, of the 6 cubes made in<br />

one day not more than 2 each representing a different batch of<br />

concrete shall be tested at the age of 28 days. The making of the<br />

cubes, their curing, storing, transporting and testing shall be in<br />

accordance with Indian Standards I.S. 516. After 28 days of curing the<br />

cylinders will be tested for permeability as per MORT&H clause 1716.5<br />

and DIN 1048. The tests shall be carried out in a laboratory approved<br />

by the Engineer.<br />

5.7.4 If the average strength of the concrete cubes falls below the required<br />

target mean strength (f’ cm), fresh preliminary mixes for that grade<br />

shall be made as before, until the trial mixes yield cubes of compressive<br />

strength at 28 days greater than the required average target mean<br />

strength (f’ cm) at that age.<br />

5.7.4.1 Where concrete is produced at continuous production unit, such as<br />

ready mix concrete plant, the Engineer may allow use of established<br />

mix design, provided it complied with all requirements of tender<br />

<strong>specifications</strong>. In this case, the responsibility of attaining required<br />

strength and other properties lies with the supplier and contractor. The<br />

manufacturer shall submit the detailed calculation of mix design if<br />

desired by Engineer.
