with a wet cloth.
vii) After the work is set and dry i.e., after one or two days the stones shall
be cleaned with a strong acid so as to remove the cement stains.
ix) If care is taken as shown above the pointing work will look attractive
and neat, and the natural appearance of the stone masonry is retained.
b) This assures a proper bond between concrete and steel and the steel
is prevented from rusting.
e) The mortar for preparing cover blocks shall atleast be of proportion 1:2.
g) When the mortar is still green strands of tying wire shall be inserted into
each block. This wire is useful for tying the block to the reinforcement.

reinforcement is tied over it and during the concreting work.
j) Use of 20mm stone chips as cover for the reinforcement will not be
accepted.
