11.5 Workability of Concrete / Slump Test:

i. After the fresh concrete is prepared Slump test is done. Slump test is the most commonly
used method of measuring workability of concrete. Its measure representative of the
placability of the concrete.
ii. The mould is then filled in four layers, each approximately l/4 of the height of the mould.
Each layer is tamped 25 times by the tamping rod taking care to distribute the strokes evenly
over the cross section.
iii. After the top layer has been rodded, the concrete is struck off Level with a trowel and
tamping rod. The mould is removed from the concrete immediately by raising it slowly and
carefully in a vertical direction.
iv. The difference in level between the height of the mould and that of the highest point of the
subsided concrete is measured. This difference in height in mm is taken as Slump of
Concrete.
v. The concrete mix proportions chosen should be such that the concrete is of adequate
workability for the placing conditions of the concrete and can properly be compacted with
the means available. Suggested ranges of workability of concrete as per IS 456:2000.

11.6 The workability shall be within the following limits on the specified value as appropriate:
i. Slump Compacting factor: + 25 mm or + 1/3 of the specified value, whichever is less.

11.7 Sieve Analysis of Fine and Coarse Aggregates: Purpose:

This method covers the sampling and determination of the particle size distribution of course
and fine aggregates.

11.8 Sampling of course and fine is done to check for:

i. Control of the product at the source of supply.
ii. Control of the operations at the site of use.
iii. Acceptance or rejection of the materials.

11.9 Procedure:

Page 21 of 25
 i. Weigh the dry sample accurately.
ii. Weigh each empty sieve and the pan.
iii. Nest the suitable sieves in order of decreasing size of opening from top to bottom. Place the
pan at the bottom of the set.

iv. Place the sample on the top sieve.

v. Place the lid and agitate the sieves and shake for about 5 to 10 minutes, or long enough to
distribute all the aggregate.
vi. Weigh the sieves with the material retained.
vii. Determine the weight retained in each sieve. The total weight of the material after sieving
should check closely with the original weight of the sample.
viii. Calculate the percentage coarser than and the percentage passing.

11.10Water Tightness Test for Water Retaining structures:

Hydrostatic head at Max. Water Level (MWL) shall be conducted as per the specification.

Procedure:

i. Water filling up to MWL and 7 days initial hold for absorption period.
ii. Observation of absorption period for 7 days and through physical checking of structures.
iii. Consecutive next 7 days water level's drops checking and recording in 24 hours intervals

Water flushing and Air - cleaning:

Prior to that, the inside structure shall be cleaned properly by brooming to remove all
debris, concrete spalls, slurry marks etc. Then water flushing and Air - cleaning, is to be
done to aim to get the entire volume including free - board surface area and underneath of
roof slab free from any foreign materials.

Water Filling:

Water filling shall start in gradual and at constant rate in the following stages keeping drain
- out valves outlet in closed mode but vents and man - whole covers as open.

Volume holds for initially 24 hrs. and consecutively next 7 days.

Observation of absorption period for 7 days:

After the water absorption period is over, water dropping level shall be measured. This drop in
level does not necessarily mean leakage, drops or sweating. There are other conspicuous factors
like evaporation etc. that are directly proportional today’s ambient temperature, humidity etc.
However, a drop of 40mm (Max.) in level in 7 days is accepted as a successful completion of water
testing of the structure if the structure is covered.

Through physical checking of structures:

The structure shall be constantly checked throughout the testing period. The structure shall be
free from any leakage, drops or water - jets from any pinhole, sweats etc., If there be any ,

Page 23 of 25
necessary corrective measures like pressure grouting etc. are immediately to be initiated to arrest
all menaces On completion of rectification, water test for the structure shall be freshly started.

If there is no leakage, drop or sweats, the hydro test of the structure is considered acceptable.
The permissible standard usually adopted in 6mm drop in 24Hrs in case of covered reservoir and
12mm in case of open reservoirs. Necessary adjustment should be made depending on the
relative humidity and other local conditions.
