2. This Table envisages batching by weight. Volume batching when done, the nominal
mixes would roughly be 1: 3: 6, 1: 2.5: 5 and 1: 1.5: 3 for M-10, M-15 and M-20
respectively.

3. For under water concreting the quantity of coarse aggregate, either by volume or
mass, shall not be less than 1.5 times and not more than twice that of the fine
aggregates.

4.7.2 The cement content of the mix specified for any nominal mix shall be
proportionately increased if the quantity of water in a mix has to be increased to
overcome the difficulties of placement and compaction, so that water-cement ratio is
not exceeded. In case of vibrated concrete, the limits specified, above may suitably
be reduced to avoid segregation.

4.7.3 if the nominal the nominal mix concrete made in accordance with the proportion
given for a particular grade does not yield the specified strength, such concrete shall
be classified as belonging to lower grade. However, if the strength results of test are
higher than those specified for the grade in the nominal mix of concrete it shall not
be placed in a higher grade.

4.8 Design mix concrete.

4.8.1 Design mix shall be allowed for major works where it is contemplated to be used by
installing weigh batch-mixing plant as per IS-4925.

At the time of tendering, the contractor, after taking into account the type of
aggregates, plant and method of laying he intends to use, shall allow in his tender for
the design mix i.e., aggregate/cement and water/cement ratios which he consider will
achieve the strength requirements specified, and workability for concrete, to be
properly furnished.

4.8.2 Soon after the contractor gets L.O.I. to commence the work, he shall carry out
preliminary tests for design mix on trial mixes proposed by him in design of mix to
satisfy the Owner that the characteristic strength specified in clause 3.6.1 is obtained.
Prior to this may ask the contractor has to get design mix done as per IS: 10262
through Government approved / reputed institute and contractor shall arrange the
same at his own cost. The concrete mix to be actually used shall be approved by the
Owner.

4.8.3. Notwithstanding the above, the following shall be the maximum combined weight of
coarse and fine aggregate per 50 Kg of cement.

completely encased or surrounded with concrete.
b) Where pipes are laid on soft solid with the maximum water table
laying at the invert of the pipe, the sewer shall be bedded on concrete.
c) Where the pipes have to be laid on soft solid with the maximum
water table rising above the invert of the pipe, but below the top of
the barrel the pipe sewer shall be hunched.
d) Where maximum water table is likely to rise above the top of the
barrel or wherever the pipe is laid on soft soil the pipe sewers shall be
completely encased or surrounded with concrete.

Socket and spigot pipes shall be jointed by the cast lead joints. The
spigot shall be entered in the socket of the next pipe by tightly
caulking in sufficient turns of tarred gasket or hemp yarn to have
unfilled half the depth of socket. When the gasket or hemp yarn has
been caulked tightly a jointing shall be placed round the barrel and
tightened against the face of the socket to prevent air lock. Molten
lead shall then be poured in to fill the remainder of the socket and
caulked with suitable tools right round the joint to make up for
shrinkage of the molten metal on cooling and shall be finished 3 mm
behind the socket face.
Joints in cast iron pipes with special jointing arrangements like
`Tyton joints etc., shall follow the instructions of the manufacturers.
In special cases if fanged joints are accepted by the engineer the
joints shall be made lead-proof by inserting approved type of rubber
gaskets. The bolts shall be secured in stages to avoid uneven strain.
b) Concrete pipes
Care shall be taken to place the collar centrally over the joint.
c) Glassed stone water pipes

Tarred gasket or hemp yarn soaked in thick cement slurry shall first
be placed round the spigot of each pipe and the spigot shall then be
placed into the socket of the pipe previously laid. The pipe shall then
be adjusted and fixed in the correct position and the gasket caulked
tightly so as not to fill more than of the total depth of the socket.
The remainder of the socket shall be filled with a stiff mixture of
cement mortar of 1:1 proportion. Then the socket is filled, a fillet
shall be formed round the joint with a trowel, forming an angle of 45
deg. with the barrel of the pipe. The newly made joints shall be
protected, until set and shall be covered with damp cloth or other
suitable materials.
d) Verified clay pipes
These shall be made from refractory clay mixed with crushed pottery
and stone and burnt at a height temperature. These shall e hard,
compact and glazed to make them acid resistant and impervious, and
shall be obtained from approved manufacturer.

Special care shall be taken in handling these pipes. The pipes shall
not be jointed until the earth has been partly refilled over the portion
of the pipe between the joint holes. Before laying the second pipe, the
socket of the first pipe laid shall be thinly painted all rounds on the
inside with cement slurry (1 part of cement and 2 parts of clean, sharp
sand). A ring of rope yarn (closely twisted heap or jute dipped in neat
cement paste or tar or bitumen, shall be inserted in the socket or pipe
and driven home with caulking tools. The rope shall fully encircle the
spigot with a slight overlap and shall not occupy more than one fourth
of the total depth of the socket. Where the spigot end of the pipe is
made for receiving the gasket, it shall be wrapped with two or three
turns of tarred spun, as close to the end as possible, before inserting
into the socket. The joint shall then be completely filled with cement
mortar (1:1), which shall have very little water and levelled to form a
splayed fillet at an angle of 45 degrees with the outside pipe. Special
care shall be taken so that any excess mortar etc., left inside the pipe
joints is neatly cleaned off immediately after each joint is made. A
semi-circular wooden scrapper or a rubber disc to which a long
handle is fixed could be used for this purpose.
e) Lead Pipes
No lead pipes shall be used unless specifically mentioned in the
specification. The joints in lead pipes shall be made as wiped solder
joint. The minimum and the maximum length of the wiped solder
joints shall be 8 cm. And 9 cm respectively. The solder shall
generally consist of two parts of lead and one part of tin.

For pipes other than Cast Iron Glazed ware and concrete pipes shall be
subjected to a test pressure of at least 1.5 m head of water at the
highest point of the section under tests. The tolerance figure of two
litres per centimetre of diameter per kilometre may be allowed during
a period of 10(ten) minutes. The test shall be carried out by suitably
plugging the low end of the drain and the ends of connections, if any,
and filling the system with water. A knuckle bond shall be temporarily
jointed in at the top end and a sufficient length of the vertical pipe
jointed to it so as to provide required test head or the top end may be
plugged with a connection to a hose ending in a funnel which could be
raised or lowered till the required head is obtained and fixed suitably
for observation.
Subsidence of test water may due to one or more of the following cases:
a) Absorption by pipes and joints
b) Sweating of pipes of joints
c) Leakage at joints or from defective pipes
d) Trapped air.
Allowance shall be made for (a0 by adding water until absorption has
ceased and after which the test proper should commence. Any leakage and
the defective part of the work shall be cut out and made good.
For cast iron pipes
Cast iron sewers and drains shall be tested as for glazed water and concrete
pipes. The drain plug shall be suitably strutted to prevent their being forced
out of the pipe during the test.
c) For straightness

i)

By inserting at the high end of the sewer or drain a smooth ball of a
diameter 13 mm less than the pipe bore. In the absence of obstruction.
Such as yarn or mortar projecting through the joints, the ball with roll
down the invert of the pipe end emerge at the lower end and
ii) By means of a mirror at one end of the line and lamp at the other. If
the pipeline is straight, the full circle of light may be observed. The
mirror will also indicate obstruction in the barrel if the pipeline is not
straight.
