END ANCHORAGE DEVICES SHALL WITHSTAND A FORCE OR NOT LESS THAN

95% OF THE SPECIFIED MINIMUM ULTIMATE TENSILE STRENGTH OF THE
TENDON WITHOUT DAMAGE OR EXCESSIVE DEFORMATION OR DRAW-IN . NO
DAMAGE ANCHORAGES SHALL BE USED. ALL STEEL PORTIONS SHALL BE
PROTECTED FROM CORROSION AT ALL TIMES. ALL TAPPED HOLES SHALL BE
PROTECTED BY SUITABLE PLUG UNTIL USED. THE ANCHORAGE DEVICES
SHALL BE KEPT FREE FROM MORTAR, LOOSE RUST, GREASE, TAR, PAINT,
OIL, MUD OR ANY OTHER COATING.

CONCRETE COVER TO STEEL BARS, UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED,
SHALL BE AS FOLLOWED:

DESIGN OF CONCRETE MIX SHALL MEET THE DESIGN CONCRETE

STRENGTH GIVEN UNDER ITEM 1 OF MATERIALS.

CONCRETE SHALL BE DEPOSITED, VIBRATED AND CURED IN ACCORDANCE

WITH THE SPECIFICATIONS.

FOR CONCRETE DEPOSITED AGAINST THE GROUTED, LEAN CONCRETE

WITH A MINIMUM THICKNESS OF 50mm. SHALL BE LAID FIRST BEFORE
PLACING THE REINFORCEMENT, THIS LEAN CONCRETE SHALL NOT BE
CONSIDERED IN MEASURING THE STRUCTURAL DEPTH OF THE CONCRETE
SECTION.

BAR BENDING, SPLICING AND PLACING

THE CONTRACTOR SHALL SUBMIT TO THE ENGINEER FOR APPROVAL OF
SHOP DRAWINGS INDICATING THE BENDING, CUTTING, SPLICING AND
INSTALLATION OF ALL REINFORCING BARS. THE CONTRACTOR SHALL
CALCULATE THE EXACT CUTTING LENGTH OF STEEL BARS USING WELL
KNOW FORMULA (SUCH AS BS 8666, 2005 FOR INSTANCE)

BARS SHALL BE BENT COLD, BARS PARTIALLY EMBEDDED IN CONCRETE

SHALL NOT BE FIELD BENT UNLESS PERMITTED BY THE ENGINEER.

UNLESS APPROVED BY THE ENGINEER. NO SPLICES SHALL BE PERMITTED

ON BEAMS AND GIRDERS WHERE CRITICAL BENDING MOMENT OCCURS.
STAGGER SPLICES BETWEEN ADJACENT BARS AT A MINIMUM DISTANCE OF
40-BAR DIAMETER.

LIFTING HOOK DEVICES

LIFTING HOOK DEVICES OF PRESTRESSING MEMBERS OR ANY SUITABLE
DEVICE SHALL BE SHOWN IN THE PLANS PREPARED BY THE CONTRACTOR

WELDED SPLICES, IF APPROVED BY THE ENGINEER SHALL DEVELOP IN

TENSION AT LEAST 125% OF THE SPECIFIED YIELD STRENGTH OF THE BARS
NOT MORE THAN 50% OF THE BARS OF ANY SECTION SHALL BE PERMITTED
TO BE SPLICED.

FORMWORK SHALL BE CONSTRUCTED SUCH THAT IT WILL NOT YIELD UNDER

THE CONTEMPLATED LOAD AND SHALL BE SUCH AS TO AVOID THE
FORMATION OF FINS AT INTERSECTION OF SURFACES. ALL CORNERS OF
CONCRETE STRUCTURES SHALL BE CHAMFERED TO AT LEAST 20 mm
EXCEPT RAILINGS AND RE-ENTRANT ANGLES WHICH SHALL BE SHORING
AND FILLETED 20mm RESPECTIVELY, UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED ON THE
PLANS. ALL EXPOSED CONCRETE SURFACES SHALL HAVE A SMOOTH
FINISH AND TRUE TO LINES, SHAPES AND DIMENSIONS SHOWN ON THE
DRAWING, STRIPPING OF FORMS AND SHAPES SHALL BE AS DESIGNATED
BY THE ENGINEER, THE FOLLOWING MAY BE USED AS A GUIDE FOR
STRIPPING OF FORMS AND SHORES.

SPACER, DIAMETER AND SPACING

THE MINIMUM BAR DIAMETER OF SPACER TO BE USED IN MULTIPLE LAYER
REINFORCEMENT SHALL BE EQUAL TO THE BAR DIAMETER OF THE
REINFORCEMENT BUT NOT ESS THAN 25 mm UNLESS INDICATED
OTHERWISE MAXIMUM SPACING OF BAR SPACER SHALL BE 40 TIMES THE
DIAMETER OF THE REINFORCEMENT.

UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED, ALL DIMENSIONS ARE IN

MILLIMETERS, ELEVATIONS ARE IN METERS.
