Graded coarse aggregate as per IS : 383 may be used. 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.

However, chiseling shall be carried out only with the approval of Engineer-in-Charge. 5.4 In case pile is required to be socketted in medium or good quality rock strata, the equipment mobilized shall have adequate capability to do so upto the required socket length. 6.0 SETTING OUT & PILING INSTALLATION :- 6.1 Control of Alignment 6.1.1 The piles shall be installed as accurately as possible as per the designs and drawings. The permissible positional deviations shall be governed by IS: 2911 (Part I /Sec.2). In case of piles deviating beyond such permissible limits, the piles shall be replaced or supplemented by additional piles, as directed by Engineer-in-Charge at no extra cost to RCF. 6.2 Boring 6.2.1 The boring shall be done by one of the following methods : a) Direct mud circulation b) Bailer bentonite c) Reverse mud circulation The actual method of construction to be followed shall be as per past records and decision of RCF, EIC in this regard shall be final and binding. 82 Part II - Technical & Un-Priced Commercial Bid 6.2.2 In very soft soil a permanent liner shall be installed to ensure stability of borehole. A liner shall be used to protect the green concrete where a high hydrostatic pressure exists in the subsoil or where an underground flow of water exists and which is likely to damage the concrete on withdrawal of casing. 6.2.3 Use of temporary liner only in lieu of bentonite to stabilize sides of boreholes shall not be permitted. 6.2.4 Properties of bentonite used and quality control shall be as per IS: 2911 6.3 Concreting of Piles 6.3.1 Reinforcement (Part I /Sec.2). 6.3.1.1 The reinforcements shall be made into cages sufficiently rigid to withstand handling without damage. In case the reinforcement cage is made up more than one segment, the same shall be assembled by providing necessary laps preferably by welding. 6.3.1.2 Lateral ties/spiral ties to the main bars shall be finally tied to main reinforcement with binding wire. 6.3.1.3 Care shall be taken to ensure that the reinforcement bars do not come closer while the cage is lowered down the hole. 6.3.1.4 Proper cover and central placement of the reinforcement shall be ensured by use of suitable concrete spacers, cover block or rollers, case specifically for the purpose. 6.3.2 Concreting 6.3.2.1 Concreting shall not be commenced until the Engineer-in-Charge satisfies himself that at final borehole depth the soil is not weaker than that taken as the basis for pile design. 6.3.2.2 Borehole bottom shall be thoroughly cleaned to make it free from sludge or any foreign matter before lowering the reinforcement cage. The full length of reinforcement cage shall be in position before start of concreting. 6.3.2.3 Concreting shall be done by tremie method. The operation of tremie concreting shall be governed by IS: 2911 (Part I /Sec.2). 6.3.2.4 The concrete placing shall not proceed if specific gravity of fluid near about the bottom of borehole exceeds 1.2. Determination of the specific gravity of the drilling mud from the base of the borehole shall be carried out by taking samples of fluid by suitable slurry sampler approved by the Engineer-in-Charge, in first few piles and at a suitable interval of piles thereafter and the results recorded. Control of consistency of drilling mud shall be carried out throughout boring as well as concreting operations. 6.3.2.5 Care shall be exercised to preserve correct cover and alignment of reinforcement and avoid any damage to it throughout the complete operation of placing the concrete. 6.3.2.6 Placing of Concrete shall be as per clause 7.8 of IS: 2911 (Part I /Sec.2). 83 Part II - Technical & Un-Priced Commercial Bid 7.0 CASTING LEVEL :Concrete shall be finished not less than 300 mm above the cut-off level („overcast‟) to ensure that all concrete at and below cut-off level is homogeneous and free of laitance and deleterious matter. A thicker overcast may be required by the Engineer depending on site condition, and this shall be carried out. The overcast shall be chipped off to cut-off level by the Contractor. 8.0 PILE ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA :The target termination dept, required socket length, concrete strength and the required working pile capacities are as shown in the drawings. The actual termination and socket lengths shall be agreed with the Engineer based on review of the conditions encountered during boring and prior to commencement of concreting. 9.0 DEFECTIVE PILES :- 9.1 Defective piles shall be removed or left in place, as judged convenient by the Engineer-in-Charge, without affecting the performance of adjacent piles of capping above and additional piles shall be provided to replace them. 10.0 RECORDING OF DATA :- 10.1 A competent supervisor shall be present to record the necessary information during the installation of piles. The data to be recorded shall include :a) The dimensions of the piles, including the reinforcement detail and the mark of the pile. b) The boring method used. c) Log of material encountered & level of change in strata & where boring stops. d) The type of strata in which pile is terminated. e) The depth bored. f) Length of temporary casing. g) Date & time boring starts & complete & speed of drilling. h) The depth of water table. i) When drilling mud is used, the specific gravity of the fresh supply and contaminated mud in the borehole before concreting is taken up, in case of first few piles and boring subsequently at suitable interval of piles. j) The time taken for boring / concreting. k) The cut-off level/working level. l) Existing ground level. m) The consumption of cement. 84 Part II - Technical & Un-Priced Commercial Bid n) Any other important observations. 10.2 Typical data sheets of recording piling data shall be as per in Appendix-D of IS: 2911 (Part I/ Sec.2). 10.3 Any deviation from the designed location, alignment or load carrying capacity of any pile shall be noted and promptly reported to the Engineer-in-Charge. * * * * * * 85
