C.A.No.01/<strong>CIDCO</strong>/SE(KHR)/EE(KHR-I)/2010–11 Pg. No. 496<br />

45.1 CONCRETE<br />

All cement concrete, whether used in R.C.C. work or plain concrete<br />

work shall M-150, M-200 and M-250 as per latest I.S. code.<br />

45.2 CONTROL AND TESTING OF CONCRETE<br />

Following tests shall be carried out at the site whenever required by<br />

the Engineer in accordance with I.S. 516 (latest).<br />

a) Works Tests – 7 days and 28 days compressive strength test.<br />

b) Consistency Test<br />

c) Moisture contents in aggregates<br />

d) Unit weight of concrete<br />

a) Work Tests<br />

During concreting operation, samples of concrete as placed in<br />

the work shall be taken every day and a set of six cubes of<br />

cylinder shall be made therefrom for being tested for their<br />

compressive strength, the consistency (slump) test shall also be<br />

made and slump required.<br />

All concrete cubes or cylinders shall be tested for compressive<br />

strength as specified under I.S. 456 and 516 at the <strong>CIDCO</strong><br />

laboratory generally as per <strong>specifications</strong> under the latest I.S.<br />

456 and 516. The above specification cover concrete mixes<br />

of grades M-150 and above. Ordinarily it is not necessary to<br />

test the compressive strength of mix of grade M-150 at it is<br />

generally used for non-structural purposes. However, where<br />

the mix M-150 is used extensively on <strong>works</strong> (i.e. more than<br />

75% cu.mt. of concrete is to be placed at one time in any<br />

work), it shall be tested in the same manner as other grades
