FABRICATION
• Plate metal
• Formed and expanded metal
• Tube stock
• Welding wire/welding rod
• Rebar Cutters
• Automatic Rebar Tying Equipment
Processes
• Construction Estimating - The contractor produces an estimate of the concrete and
reinforcing steel quantities, as well as the amount of formwork and shoring.
• Detailing of Reinforcement - The reinforcing contractor interprets the information
on structural drawings and produces reinforcing steel detail sheets.
• Placing of Reinforcement - Once the reinforcement has been detailed and cut in
the site, placement of the reinforcing steel is carried out by rebar placers.
• Installation of Concrete Formwork and Shoring - Formwork and shoring support
the weight of the wet concrete and other construction loads. Form work is a
temporary structure made of wood.
• Placing and Curing the Concrete - Concrete is then poured and proper curing is
done.
Phases of Construction:
• We have divided the entire construction process into different phases to ensure
safe, fast and economical construction
• This is done to accommodate all the resources at every point of time in
construction
• This enables smooth running of construction activity with very few interruptions
• It is divided into 3 phases to deal with the issue of providing space for various
setups at the site during all times namely batching plant, civil office, sales office,
lab, etc.
Laboratory Setup at the site
Tests to be conducted
Determination of Consistency of Standard Cement Paste
• Reference : IS : 4031 ( Part 4 ) - 1988, IS : 5513-1976
• Theory : For finding out initial setting time, final setting time and soundness of
cement, and strength a parameter known as standard consistency has to be used.
The standard consistency of a cement paste is defined as that consistency which
will permit a Vicat plunger having 10 mm diameter and 50 mm length to penetrate
to a depth of 33-35 mm from the top of the mould.
• Apparatus : Vicat apparatus conforming to IS : 5513-1976, Balance, Gauging
Trowel, Stop Watch, etc.
Result:
Standard consistency of cement varies between 25% to 30%
Determination of Setting Time of Standard Cement
• Reference : IS : 4031 ( Pat 4 ) -1988, IS : 4031 ( Pat 5 ) - 1988,
IS : 5513-1976.
• Theory : For convenience, initial setting time is regarded as the time elapsed
between the moments that the water is added to the cement, to the time that the
paste starts losing its plasticity. The final setting time is the time elapsed between
the moment the water is added to the cement, and the time when the paste has
completely lost its plasticity and has attained sufficient firmness to resist certain
definite pressure.
• Apparatus : Vicat apparatus conforming to IS : 5513-1976, Balance, Gauging
Trowel, Stop Watch, etc.
• Result:
Initial setting time of OPC 43 grade is 30 minutes.
Final setting time of OPC 43 grade should be less than 10 hours.
SLUMP TEST
Apparatus:
Concrete mixing pan, weighing balance, spatula, trowels, slump cone-a hollow
frustum made of thin steel sheet with top diameter 100mm;the bottom diameter 200
mm and the height 300 mm, tamping road-16 mm in diameter, 600 mm long and is
bullet pointed at the lower end, scale, measuring jar. IS 1199 - 1999
Theory:
• Unsupported fresh concrete, flows to the sides and a sinking in height takes place.
This vertical settlement is known as slump.
• In this test fresh concrete is filled into a mould of specified shape and dimensions,
and a settlement or slump is measured when supporting mould is removed.
• In this test fresh concrete is filled into a mould of specified shape and dimensions,
and a settlement or slump is measured when supporting mould is removed.
• Slump increases as water content is increased. For different works different slump
values have been recommended.
Fineness modulus of aggregate
• Reference : IS : 2386 ( Part I) – 1963, IS: 383-1970, IS : 460-1962
• Apparatus: Test Sieves conforming to IS : 460 -1962 Specification of 80 mm, 40 mm, 20
mm, 10 mm, 4.75 mm, 2.36mm, 1.18mm, 0.6mm, 0.3mm, Balance, Gauging Trowel, Stop
Watch, etc.
• Theory : Grading refers to the determination of the particle-size distribution for aggregate.
Grading limits and maximum aggregate size are specified because grading and size affect
the amount of aggregate used as well as cement and water requirements, workability,
pumpability, and durability of concrete. In general, if the water-cement ratio is chosen
correctly, a wide range in grading can be used without a major effect on strength. When gap-
graded aggregate are specified, certain particle sizes of aggregate are omitted from the size
continuum. Gap-graded aggregate are used to obtain uniform textures in exposed aggregate
concrete. Close control of mix proportions is necessary to avoid segregation.
Determination of Flakiness Index and Elongation
Index of Course Aggregates
• Reference : IS : 2386 ( Part I) – 1963, IS: 383-1970, IS : 460-1962
• Apparatus : The metal gauge shall be of the pattern shown in Fig. 10.1, Balance,
Gauging Trowel, Stop Watch, etc.
• Theory : Particle shape and surface texture influence the properties of freshly mixed
concrete more than the properties of hardened concrete. Rough-textured, angular, and
elongated particles require more water to produce workable concrete than smooth,
rounded compact aggregate. Consequently, the cement content must also be increased
to maintain the water-cement ratio. Generally, flat and elongated particles are avoided
or are limited to about 15 % by weight of the total aggregate.
Result:
• BIS-1241 specifies a Flakiness index should not exceed 30% irrespective of
aggregate size.
• The maximum permitted Elongated index is 35 for 2”-2.5”, 40 for 0.75”- 1.5”.
Determine Compressive Strength of Cubic Concrete
Specimens
• Reference : IS : 516 - 1959, IS: 1199-1959, SP : 23-1982, IS : 10086-1982
• Theory : Age at Test - Tests shall be made at recognized ages of the test
specimens, the most usual being 7 and 28 days. Where it may be necessary to
obtain the early strengths, tests may be made at the ages of 24 hours ± 63 ½ hour
and 72 hours ± 2 hours. The ages shall be calculated from the time of the addition
of water to the dry ingredients. Number of Specimens - At least three specimens,
preferably from different batches, shall be made for testing at each selected age.
