colonies of termites might be established. In order to ensure uniform distribution of the

treating solution and to assist penetration some site preparation may be necessary as

follows:

All sub floor levelling and grading should be completed, all cuttings and excavations should be

completed with backfilling in place, borrowed fill must be free from organic debris and should

be well compacted. Treatment to be carried out when the soil is dry by suitable hand operated

sprayer to facilitate uniform disposal of chemical emulsion to form an effective chemical

barrier around the building Treatment should not be carried out when it is raining or when the

soil is wet with rain or sub-soil water.

4.2 Procedure

RCC WORK
RCC work can be divided into 3 parts:

Reinforcement Steel

Formwork

Procedures for Concreting

Scope

Steel reinforcements are used, generally, in the form of bars of circular cross section in concrete

structure. They are like a skeleton in human body. Plain concrete without steel or any other

reinforcement is strong in compression but weak in tension. Steel is one of the best forms of

reinforcements, to take care of those stresses and to strengthen concrete to bear all kinds of

loads. Bar-bending-schedule:

Bar-bending-schedule is the schedule of reinforcement bars prepared in advance before cutting and

bending of rebar. This schedule contains all details of size, shape and dimension of rebar to be cut.

Procedure:

1) Material received at site should have ISI certification mark or the supplier should be pre-approved

from QA&QC department after verification of physical and chemical properties as specified in IS

1786. Bars should be marked to identify categories.

2) For diameter up to 12 mm, one sample per diameter per supplier/manufacturer for every 60

Ton must be tested in an independent/external laboratory. For diameter above 12 mm, one

sample per diameter per supplier/manufacturer for every 100 Ton must be tested in an

independent/external laboratory.

3) Proper equipment / jig should be available for straightening the coiled steel and mandrel

for bending and cutter machine for cutting steel bars.

4) Use of latest revisions of drawings and bar bending schedules should be done.

5) Bent bars of identical size, shape and type must be bundled together and labelled correctly

before placing.

6) Steel surface should be free from grease, oil, mud, mould oil, loose mill scales, excessive rust

scales, and loose concrete.

7) Binding wires must be bent inwards or loose ends cut so that they do not come in cover

zone and/or protrude out of concrete.

8) Beam-column junctions reinforcement steel bars should bunched or spaced properly to avoid

congestion.

9) Enough space between bars should be available to place and compact concrete.

10) Radius of bend given to dowel at construction joints must be as per drawing or as specified by

structural consultant.

11) For long duration of storage, bar must be protected by corrosion resistant passivator /

converter coat.

12) Bars of different types and diameters must be stored separately and clear identification between

tested and untested steel should be marked at site.

13) Reinforcement bars received at site should be stored on hard concreted platform and clear

above the ground with the use of timber sleeper, concrete sleeper or any other means.

Reinforcement should be kept covered by tarpaulins or plastic sheets to avoid excessive corrosion

and other contamination.

14) Cover blocks should be of non-corrosive material such as plastic or concrete/mortar but not

wooden or broken tile, broken bricks or stone. Especially PVC made cover spacers should be used

in the works.

15) Binding wire should be 16 or 18 gauge conforming to IS 280. It should be free from rust,

oil, paint, grease or any other deleterious material.

16) Splices should be provided as far as possible away from sections of maximum stress and must be

staggered.

17) Where more than one-half of the bars are spliced at a section or where splices are made at

points of maximum stress, special precaution should be taken, such as increasing the length of lap

and / or using spirals or closely spaced stirrup around the length of the splice. (Staggered laps) or

as suggested by structural consultant.

Checklist before accepting consignment of steel:

Following check points should be considered before accepting the consignment of steel.

1) The type of steel i.e. mild steel/high strength deformed or twisted/TMT/corrosion resistant steel.

2) The grade of steel based on chemical and physical requirement.

3) The rolling margin.

4) The original steel certificate issued by steel supplier.

5) The physical and chemical properties in manufacturer’s test certificate.

proper condition in such cases.

10) Sufficient concrete handling, compaction (vibrators) and curing arrangements with respect to

size of the pour, depth of pour, spacing of reinforcement etc. must be ensured before starting

concrete if site produced concrete or before ordering concrete from approved supplier.

Step 4- During Concreting Checks

General:

1) The concrete pipeline of pump shall be checked to ensure whether there is any leakage of

slurry, which may affect the pumpability of concrete.

2) During concreting it must be checked whether there is any slurry leakage from the shuttering and

corrective measures should be taken immediately because this may affect finishing because of

honeycombing and final performance of the concrete and aesthetics.

3) Variation in pipe diameter of pump and number of bends in the pipeline should be restricted

to minimum.

4) The supports/props must be checked during concreting to avoid bulging and potential failure

of shuttering because of the weight of wet concrete.

5) Pouring height must be restricted as per the site condition with suitable methods to avoid

segregation of concrete.

6) Availability of sufficient equipment and manpower for compaction of concrete must be ensured

7) Vibrator needle size shall be appropriate as per the spacing of the reinforcement and

workability of the concrete. Influence radius should be checked by visual observation

9) Over vibration of concrete should be avoided, which may lead to deposition of slurry at the top

leading to crazing cracks any time during hardening. Over vibration may also lead to bleeding

resulting in plastic settlement and subsequent cracks.
