4. Formworks Design
Formwork shall be set in correct position following specification and the
approved structure drawings.
Please refer to Appendix B for Typical formworks & support for 2nd floor slab.
Formworks and support is calculated as shown in Attachment C
Approved form oil will be applied to form surface prior to installation of form.
5. Construction joint treatment

All construction joints will be chipped to remove cement sand surface to

make rough surface.
In some cases, approved retarder for concrete surface will be used as another
method to make construction joint properly.
6. Rebar fabrication & setting
Approved re-bar type will be delivered to site and it will be inspected & tested
prior to use.
Re-bar shall be cut and bent according to the approved schedule at the site
workshop and transported to site by truck. After delivery to the site re-bars
shall be fixed according to specification and approved drawings by Engineer
or Consultant.
Rebar shall be inspected by Engineer or Consultant prior to install of next
layer or formworks.
Any mistake rebar will be replaced or repaired by approved method.
Approved concrete spacer shall be used; its concrete grade shall be 35
MN/m2.
7. Installation of embed item
All the embed item showing in the drawings shall be firmly installed in correct
position.
8. Placing of Concrete
Approved ready-mix concrete will be transported from batching plant to the
site by mixer truck. During transportation & waiting time the concrete shall
be kept continuously agitated.
From mixer truck concrete will be poured to casting location by concrete
pump or by bucket. The height from discharge position to casting level shall
not be over 1.5m.
On each concreting day and for each grade of concrete mix, samples shall be
taken. When samples are taken at sites, samples shall be taken for every
24m3 of concrete or part thereof, of each grade of concrete.
Minimum requirement of sample
-

Each concreting day

Each part of structure (each building)

After filling above condition, samples shall be taken for every four
mixer or agitating truck (20~24m2).

9. Compaction of Concrete.

Concrete after pouring to position shall be compacted by immersion vibrator.

Proper staging for vibration works will be arranged.
Wooden or rubber hammer also will be used as external vibrator in some
cases.
10. Removal of formworks
Form works removal shall be accordance with specification Clause 4.20 or as
proposal hereunder.
-

All vertical or side formworks : 12 hrs (The period shall commence from
the time of last pour of concrete)

Soffit formworks to slabs & beams : 3 days ((The period shall

commence from the time of last pour of concrete)

Props to slabs & beams: Requirement in Specification is 14 days. We

propose that before remove props we will carry out testing for cube
sample, whenever if we get 100% designed strength of concrete we will
remove props (After skirting of formworks, props shall be immediately
put up to support the structure)

Props to cantilever slabs & cantilever beams: Requirement in

Specification is 21 days. We propose that before remove props we will
carry out testing for cube sample, whenever if we get 100% designed
strength of concrete we will remove props (After skirting of formworks,
props shall be immediately put up to support the structure)

* Testing for purpose of removal formworks will be carried out at 7th days
after finish casting concrete.
All tie rod holes & defects on surface will be repaired following approved
method.
11. Curing.
After removal of form works, concrete shall be cured minimum of 6 days
according to TCXDVN 391:2007 Requirements for Natural Moist Curing,
apply for Area C of Viet Nam.
Curing of concrete will be carried out by spraying water periodically to the
surface of the newly placed concrete. Jute bag or nylon sheet shall be used to
cover the concrete surface for keeping wet.
Water to be used for curing and cleaning works is portable water from local
authority.
Approved curing compound also will be used in several cases.

12. Protecting against raining.

Against raining, plastic sheet shall be prepared to cover over the concrete
area before concreting.
13. Electricity
Electricity will be supplied by generators on site.
