Notes: 1. 900 from True North = Waves approach from East
2. 1100 from True North = Waves approach from East of South East
3. 1350 from True North = Waves approach from South East
From this data, the following observations can be made.
Kamarajar is very near to Chennai, wave climate of Chennai Port has been adopted for studies at Kamarajar Port till subsequent data specific to the Port is generated.
KPL/PP/Automobile Terminal/ 2021 Construction of Berth and CPY for Automobile Export/ Import Terminal-II
Page 104 of 246
Significant wave height varies from 0.9 m to 1.6 m. Maximum significant wave height of 1.5 and 1.6 m has been observed in May and June of summer and SW monsoon period.
The average wave height is 63% of significant wave height. So the observed average wave height varies from 0.57 m to 1.0 m
The above wave parameters based on a short period of observation are only
indicative. Earlier wave data collected during longer duration reveal that about
40 days in a year, the significant wave height exceeds 2.5 M.
40.8 Tides
The tides at Kamarajar are semi-diurnal having two peaks and two lows in every day
and in every duration between new and full moon days (spring and Leap). Tide level
changes continuously. Tide levels at Chennai Port are continuously measured.
Kamarajar is only 20 Km. away along the coast from Chennai Port. In view of close
proximity to Chennai, it can be assumed that there is no variation in tides and its
predictions from Chennai Port. With this assumption, the different levels of tides at
Kamarajar are shown in Table 8
Table 8 – Tides Sl.No. Description Height (in m) 1 Highest high water +1.50
2 Mean High Water Springs +1.10
3 Mean High Water Neaps +0.80
4 Mean Sea Level +0.65
5 Mean Low Water Neaps +0.40
6 Mean Low Water Springs +0.10
7 Lowest Low Water -0.10
These tidal ranges are low and may not have any significant effect on open coast at
Kamarajar except the process involving water and sediment movement below low
tide level.
40.9 Currents
The direction of the current during the North-East monsoon, namely mid October to
mid-January is directed southwards and in the southwest monsoon namely from
mid April to mid August the current is directed northwards. The currents in the
coastal zone are approximately 0.15m/sec to 0.25m/sec. NIOT has measured
currents at Kamarajar Port for three seasons for a period of 30 days at a water depth
of 10m. The flow is parallel to the coast and the direction changes from south to
KPL/PP/Automobile Terminal/ 2021 Construction of Berth and CPY for Automobile Export/ Import Terminal-II
Page 105 of 246
north at the end of Northeast monsoon. Current observations at Kamarajar are
shown in Table 9.
Table 9 - Current Season Period of observation Min.
(m/sec) Max. (m/sec)
Mean (m/sec)
1 18 -02-99 to 19-03-99 0.01 0.39 0.22
2 28-05-99 to 05-06-99 0.05 0.42 0.28
3 14-12- 99 to 21-2- 99 0.09 0.46 0.25
However, since the proposed jetty is located inside the Port basin well protected by
the breakwaters the effect of the currents is negligible.
40.10 Swells
During northeast monsoon period (October to January) the swells in the Sea outside
the harbour vary from 0.91 to 1.22 m and during southwest monsoon (April to
June) 0.61 to 0.91 m during Cyclones.
40.11 Fog
January to March: 1 day; April to September free from Fog.
40.12 Visibility
The visibility in Kamarajar area is more than 20 km for the major part of the year,
occasionally extending to 50 km. On an average, visibility is between 4 and 10 km
on 40 days per year and less than 4 km on 4 days per year.
40.13 Monthly density
Mean value for harbour waters - 1.020 to 1.021 gm / ml
Mean density value of Adjoining Coastal water - 1.025 gm. / ml
40.14 Properties of Shore and Bed Materials
Wet soil Specific Gravity: Ranging from 1.50 to 1.80
Grain size : Range between 60 to 200 microns Grain Density : 1.40 to 1.80 gm /ml
40.15 Types of breakers
Mostly plunging types.

plates are fixed to each other, the two other vertical plates can be moved in directions
perpendicular to these plates, and distance between moveable parallel plates can be
read off from a scale to a whole number of mm.
The apparatus_ construction must be such that the accuracy of the measurements
obtained to a whole no. of mm. can be trusted.
II. Procedure
Before measuring remove any impurities and /or burrs from the blocks to be
measured with a hard brush. Put the blocks with its top surface facing downwards on
horizontally positioned base plate of apparatus and press it as far as possible between
the two fixed, vertical plates, which are at the right angles to each other, so that the
long side of the block comes to the completely flush with the long vertical plates.
Determine the length and width of the block by successively pressing each of the
movable plates against the block and reading off the distances between the parallel
plates in mm on the scales.
KPL/PP/Automobile Terminal/ 2021 Construction of Berth and CPY for Automobile Export/ Import Terminal-II
Page 134 of 246
III. Height
The height of each block is accurately measured in whole mm using a sliding head
with calipers 50 mm long, measurements being taken at the four corners and in the
centre. The height is measured to the nearest 0.1 mm as the arithmetic mean of these
five values.
When measuring the height, the calipers of the sliding head are placed as flush as

Page 144 of 246
the Engineer. It shall comply with the requirement of IS 2645. It shall be mixed with
the concrete as per manufacturer's recommendation but not exceeding 3% by weight
of cement and as approved by the Engineer.
4. Concrete Cores
If the results of the cube tests do not fulfil the requirements as stated in the foregoing
clause, or if, in the opinion of the Engineer defects of workmanship during
construction give rise to doubt as to the strength, durability and/or safety of the
structure or part thereof, supplementary testing shall be performed at the Engineer's
request.
If, in the opinion of the Engineer, additional testing is necessary, at least six concrete
cores shall, where ordered by the Engineer, be drilled or cut from the Works and
tested in accordance with IS 516.
The cores shall be appropriately 150 mm in diameter and, where possible have a
height / diameter ratio of two, the correction factor given in IS 516 shall be applied to
give the equivalent strength of a cylinder having a height / diameter ratio of two. If the
compressive strength of the cores, adjusted for height / diameter ratio and age, fails
to attain the characteristic compressive strength at 28 days as specified above, the
concrete which they represent shall be cut out, and replaced to the satisfaction of the
Engineer and at no extra cost to the Employer.
The cost of sampling, drilling or cutting and preparing cores, together with the
provision of equipment and apparatus and the packing and transporting to the field
laboratory (if applicable) and testing, shall be to the Contractor's account unless the
results of tests ordered on the basis of suspected defects in workmanship
demonstrate that adequate quality and strength were achieved during construction,
whereupon the Employer shall pay such costs as are reasonably incurred by the
Contractor in complying with the requirements of this Sub-Clause.
5. Water and Slump Tests
The moisture content of the aggregate shall be determined before concreting begins
for the purpose of assessing the amount of free water to be added at the mixer and
the Contractor shall provide himself with a chart, a copy of which shall be given to the

water to be added at the mixer for all classes of concrete in use.
The amount of water introduced into the mix shall be strictly controlled and shall be
the minimum amount consistent with achieving satisfactory workability and
compaction.
KPL/PP/Automobile Terminal/ 2021 Construction of Berth and CPY for Automobile Export/ Import Terminal-II
Page 145 of 246
Frequent slump tests shall be carried out in accordance with IS 1199 on samples of
concrete taken immediately before placing to determine the consistency of concrete.
The slumps of the trial mixes shall be recorded for identification purposes and for
subsequent use as a routine check on workability. However, slump shall not be used
as an official measure of the workability of any concrete. Whenever required by the
Engineer, checks on the water content of the fresh concrete shall be executed
according to one of the methods described in IS: 1199 (latest version).
6. Placing and Compaction
6.1 Preparatory works
The Engineer's approval in writing shall always be obtained before any concrete is
placed in the works. The shutter or area of deposition shall be cleaned as specified in
the Clause 7 entitled "Shuttering".
All constructional equipment and materials required, or which may be required,
during the concreting work and for curing, shall be on site and fully prepared for the
work. The Engineer's approval to place concrete will only be given after all these
preparations and other relevant requirements of the specification have been carried
out and complied with.
If concreting is to be executed at dusk, night or when otherwise daylight is not
sufficient, the Contractor shall provide sufficient lamps on site so that all elements of
the site relevant for the concreting are well lit.
Struts, stays and braces within the shuttering, serving temporarily to hold the
shuttering for structures in correct shape and alignment, pending the placing of
concrete at their locations, shall be removed when the concrete placing has reached
an elevation rendering their services unnecessary. These temporary members shall be
entirely removed from the shuttering and not buried in the concrete.
Concrete shall not be placed in the shuttering until the shuttering has been approved
by the Engineer. The Engineer must be given adequate notice by the Contractor to
enable him to inspect any shuttering before placing of the concrete begins.
If necessary and/or directed by the Engineer, the Contractor shall cool any shuttering
that has become overheated or exceptionally dry through prolonged exposure to the
sun. The Contractor shall ensure that all timber shuttering retains sufficient moisture
content and does not become shrunken or warped. All soaking or spraying of
shuttering shall be done with fresh water.
KPL/PP/Automobile Terminal/ 2021 Construction of Berth and CPY for Automobile Export/ Import Terminal-II
Page 146 of 246
The Engineer may, at his discretion, forbid the placing of concrete in any shuttering
which he judges has become too hot and/or dry that concrete members cannot be
satisfactorily produced there from. No extra payment for cooling or soaking shuttering
shall be claimed and costs incurred by the Contractor due to shuttering becoming too
hot or dry shall be deemed to be included in the rates.
6.2 Placing of concrete
The methods of conveying and depositing concrete shall be such as to prevent
segregation of the materials and shall be approved by the Engineer before concreting
begins. Concrete shall be deposited directly in the work, without the need for re-
handling, as soon as possible and not more than 60 minutes after mixing and in any
case, before the initial set has taken place.
If any delay has occurred after mixing and the concrete has begun to set, it shall not
be used in the works, and shall be removed from the Site. Normally, concrete for
structures may be deposited by dropping through a maximum vertical height of 1.50
metres without the use of tubes, provided suitable measures are taken to prevent
segregation and premature coating of upper reinforcing steel. Deposition of concrete
at a height of more than 1.50 metres shall be executed by means of tubes, chutes or
other means to the satisfaction to the Engineer.
Concreting of any section or unit of the work shall be carried out in one continuous
operation and no interruption of the concreting will be allowed without the approval of
the Engineer.
Where deposition of concrete has to be interrupted, precautions shall be taken to
ensure satisfactory adhesion of later batches of concrete to that previously placed.
Where delays of more than one hour occur between successive concreting operations
is one section or unit of work, concreting shall only be resumed when, in the opinion
of the Engineer, the previously placed concrete had ample time to harden and the
resulting joint shall be treated as Construction Joint within the meaning and
description of the Clause 8.1 entitled "Construction Joints" hereafter.
At all times when concrete is being placed, a competent steel fixer shall be in
continuous attendance to adjust and correct the position of any reinforcement which
may become displaced.
The Contractor shall take care that during and immediately after depositing the
concrete in the works, the concrete will not be contaminated by dust, organic matter
or other foreign material. Concrete that, in the opinion of the Engineer has been
KPL/PP/Automobile Terminal/ 2021 Construction of Berth and CPY for Automobile Export/ Import Terminal-II
Page 147 of 246
contaminated will be regarded as defective and shall be dealt with as described in the
Clause 6.9 entitled "Faulty Work".
Transportation of concrete directly over the fixed reinforcement during the depositing
shall not be allowed without proper provisions to avoid displacing or any other harm
to the reinforcement.
6.3 Placing in layers
Concrete other than tremie concrete shall be deposited in approved quantities and in
horizontal layers of such thickness as to permit thorough compaction, expulsion of air
and incorporation with the layers below. However, in no case may the thickness of the
layer be deeper than 0.30 m. Each layer shall be placed and compacted before the
preceding batch has reached initial set.
If, for unforeseen reasons, it is necessary to stop concreting before completion of the
lift, then construction joints as specified shall be formed and further concreting will
be suspended for at least 24 hours.
6.4 Compaction of concrete
All concrete shall be thoroughly compacted immediately after deposition to expel air
and to ensure that the concrete is in full contact with all containing and embedded
surfaces. Vibrators shall be used for compacting, unless otherwise specified or
ordered by the Engineer.
The type of vibrator to be used is subject to the approval of the Engineer. For concrete
placed in-situ the vibrators shall be of immersion type. Vibrators of the immersion
type shall have a frequency of 5000-8000 vibrations per minute for concrete with a
slump of more than 80 mm and a frequency of 9000-12000 vibrations per minute for
concrete with a slump of less than or equal to 80 mm.
The Contractor shall provide sufficient number of vibrators to properly compact each
batch immediately after it is placed in the form work.
The Contractor shall also provide at least a 50% duplication of all vibrator equipment
as stand-by during any period of concreting.
Vibrators shall not be allowed to come into contact with the reinforcements or
shuttering and great care shall be taken to avoid over-vibration causing segregation or
pockets in the finished mass. All personnel handling vibrators shall be trained in their
proper use.
KPL/PP/Automobile Terminal/ 2021 Construction of Berth and CPY for Automobile Export/ Import Terminal-II
Page 148 of 246
Vibrators shall not be applied directly or through the reinforcement to section of
layers of concrete, which have hardened to the degree that the concrete ceases to be
plastic under vibration. It shall not be used to make concrete flow in the form work
over a distance so great as to cause segregation, and vibrators shall not be used to
transport concrete in the form work or shuttering.
Every care shall be taken to see that reinforcement and fittings attached to the
shuttering are not disturbed and that no damage is caused to concrete that has
already set or to the internal face of the shuttering by using immersion type vibrators.
In areas of congested reinforcement, it may be necessary to use small diameter pokers
and the Contractor shall supply suitable sizes of pokers for each part of the work.
Vibration of concrete by hammering the shuttering with hard tools shall not be
permitted.
Concrete that, in the opinion of the Engineer has been compacted in a way that does
not conform to the specifications as described above will be regarded as defective and
shall be dealt with as described in the Clause 6.9 entitled "Faulty Work".
6.5 Placing concrete on previously executed work
Where concrete is to be deposited against or on top of previously executed work, the
surface of the old concrete shall be thoroughly wire brushed and hacked and cleaned
with water and air under pressure to expose the surface of the aggregate and to
remove all laitance. Special care shall be taken to ensure that the new concrete is
thoroughly compacted and rammed against the old. In certain cases, depending on
the grade of concrete in use, the elapsed time between successive concreting
operations and the weather conditions at the time of recommencing concreting, the
Engineer may require the old concrete surface to be treated differently, including the
use of "wash off" and "dry-bond" techniques, wire brushing etc., The cost of all such
preparations shall be included in the rates.
6.6 Concreting in unfavourable weather
Concreting will not be permitted during heavy rain or stormy weather. The decision of
the Engineer in this regard is final and binding.
6.7 Until a period of seven days has elapsed from the time of placing the concrete, it shall
be kept protected against direct sunlight, loss of moisture, rapid temperature change,
rain and flowing water, mechanical injury and contamination by air-borne dust and /
or sand. This period may be varied at the discretion of the Engineer. Following
completion of the above period a further period of curing will be required by the
KPL/PP/Automobile Terminal/ 2021 Construction of Berth and CPY for Automobile Export/ Import Terminal-II
Page 149 of 246
Engineer. This may require that covers, sand layers and the like be kept in place for
longer than the 7 day minimum curing period otherwise specified.
The Contractor's attention is drawn to the importance of starting curing as soon as
possible after placing the concrete.
All methods of curing and protecting freshly placed concrete shall be subject to the
prior approval of the Engineer. These methods may include the use of curing
membranes, watering, damp covers, shades and / or any other precautions
acceptable to the Engineer.
Curing membranes, where used, shall be sprayed on the surface of the concrete as
soon as all free water has evaporated from the surface. In the case of shutters, which
have been eased or struck before seven days have elapsed from the date of placing
concrete, the curing membranes shall be applied immediately after the shutter has
been removed.
In case rain falls on the newly coated concrete before the membrane has dried
sufficiently to resist damage, or if the membrane is damaged in any other manner, a
new coat of the membrane shall be applied to the affected portions.
The Contractor should note that it is of the utmost importance that all concrete
surfaces, against which further concrete is to be cast, shall be cleaned of all traces of
curing compounds to the satisfaction of the Engineer before commencement of further
operations.
The Contractor shall submit details of the curing procedure be proposes to use prior
to commencement of the concreting works. During very hot weather conditions, the
Contractor may be required to cool and/or wet form work containing concrete by
spraying with water and this shall be carried out where directed notwithstanding
other measures the Contractor may employ for the curing of the concrete.
All materials, spray equipment and an ample supply of water for curing shall be ready
on site before any concreting starts. The quality of water used for curing shall comply
with the specifications of "Water". Care must be taken to ensure that the temperature
difference between curing water and concrete surface is not large enough to cause
adverse surface temperature gradients in the concrete.
Where concrete surfaces are to be painted or otherwise protectively treated
immediately after removal of the shutters, the Engineer may modify the curing
requirements specified in this clause in such a way as, in his sole opinion, is justified.
KPL/PP/Automobile Terminal/ 2021 Construction of Berth and CPY for Automobile Export/ Import Terminal-II
Page 150 of 246
Any concrete which exhibits plastic settlement or plastic or drying shrinkage or which
in the opinion of the Engineer has not been properly cured is liable to rejection in
which case it shall be dealt with as described in Clause 6.9 entitled "Faulty Work".
6.8 Record of concreting
The Contractor shall keep on site a complete record of the works showing the time
and date when concrete is placed in each part of the works. This record shall be
available at all times for inspection by the Engineer.
6.9 Faulty work
Any portion of the work, which is honeycombed, or otherwise defective shall on the
written instruction of the Engineer, immediately be cut out and reconstructed in an
approved manner at the Contractor's expense. Plastering of defective work will not be
permitted.
7. SHUTTERING
7.1 Drawings and Calculations
The Contractor shall submit drawings and substantiate their proposals, showing
details of the shuttering he intends to use, for the approval of the Engineer. The
drawings shall show the material proposed and indicate details of construction, such
as sizes of members and spacing and position of waling, struts, bolts and wedges.
Shuttering shall not be constructed until the drawing and the calculations, if
applicable, have been approved by the Engineer, but such approval shall not relieve
the Contractor of the responsibility for the sufficiency of the shuttering. Any changes
or modifications to the shuttering required by the Engineer shall not entitle the
Contractor to any extra payment.
Shuttering shall be of suitable design and substantial construction to carry the loads
due to the wet concrete and any incidental loads without inadmissible bulging,
distortion or deflection. Shuttering should be sufficiently tight to prevent loss of water
or mortar from the concrete. Special attention shall be paid to shuttering where
pokers or shutter vibrators are to be used. All shuttering shall be accurately aligned
and have close fitting joints.
7.2 Dimensional tolerances
Unless specifically indicated otherwise on the Drawings tolerances on dimensions of
all finished concrete works shall be +4% and-0% of the design dimensions subject to a
maximum of +10 mm. Deviations in the alignment or position of structural members
of the permanent concrete work shall be within + or -10 mm.
7.3 Materials for shuttering
Shuttering shall be made from good quality plywood or steel. All shuttering shall be
accurately aligned and have close fitting joints. Plywood shall be resistant to
KPL/PP/Automobile Terminal/ 2021 Construction of Berth and CPY for Automobile Export/ Import Terminal-II
Page 151 of 246
penetration by water and shall be fixed and jointed in such a manner as to give a
perfectly smooth and even finish to the concrete. It must have a thickness not less
than 17.5 mm. The outside of steel shuttering must be painted in light colour to
reduce temperature gain due to solar radiation. With the approval of the Engineer,
shuttering may be made from good quality seasoned timber, free from loose knots,
shakes and warped surfaces. This timber shall not be less than 30 mm in thickness
and the board faces in contact with concrete and the board edges shall be planed
smooth and joints shall be tongued and grooved.
7.4 Fixing of shuttering
Shuttering shall be fixed in perfect line and be truly plane, with no crevices and joints
and shall be securely braced, supported and wedged so as to retain its position
without displacement or deflection during the placing and compaction of the concrete.
Joints in shuttering shall be made so that no leakage of grout can occur from the
concrete. All joints shall be either horizontal or vertical, unless the form of the
finished concrete requires them to be otherwise. Chamfers measuring 30 mm by 30
mm are to be made to all exposed edges of concrete, unless otherwise shown on the
Drawings or directed by the Engineer.
7.5 Back shuttering
Back shuttering for structures shall be used to form concrete surfaces which are
designed to be concealed by earth backfill or further construction, and shall comply
with the specified requirements of shuttering except in so far as the board faces are
not required to be planed.
7.6 Internal ties
Subject to the approval of the Engineer, internal ties may be used. All such fastenings
shall be so arranged that when the shutters are removed, no metal left permanently in
the work shall be within 50 mm of any surface.
Any holes left in the face of the concrete by the ties shall be filled immediately after
removal of the shutters with an approved non shrinkable polymer modified cement
mortar with qualities at least as good as those of the adjacent concrete.
7.7 Coating to prevent adhesion
All shuttering surfaces in contact with concrete shall be treated with an approved
composition before usage to prevent adhesion of the concrete. Such composition shall
be carefully applied in such a manner that it does not come into contact with
reinforcement, construction joints or previously placed concrete. The use of diesel,
mineral or engine oil for this purpose shall not be allowed. Any material, which will
adhere to or discolours the concrete, shall not be used.
KPL/PP/Automobile Terminal/ 2021 Construction of Berth and CPY for Automobile Export/ Import Terminal-II
Page 152 of 246
7.8 Cleaning and re-using of shuttering
Before any concrete is placed, the shutters shall be properly cleaned and washed out
with fresh water and air under pressure to remove saw dust, shavings and all other
foreign matter. All water shall then be drained and mopped out from the shutter. If
shutters or side forms are to be re-used, all surfaces shall be cleaned and shall be
completely free from remnants of concrete or mortar. If, in the opinion of the
Engineer, shutters or moulds are not acceptable for re-use, they shall be either
properly repaired or be substituted by other shutters or moulds. Substituted shutters
or moulds shall comply with the requirements as specified above.
7.9 Removal of shutters
Shutters shall be removed only under skilled supervision and in such a manner as
will not damage the concrete. Shutters shall not be removed before the concrete is
sufficiently set and hardened. The minimum periods which shall elapse between
placing the concrete and the removal of the shutters for the various parts of the
structures shall be as per IS 456-2000, but compliance with these requirements shall
not relieve the Contractor of the obligation to delay the removal of the forms if the
concrete has not sufficiently set, hardened or strengthened. The Contractor shall
delay the removal of the form work if, the results of the cube tests show that the
concrete has not attained sufficient strength. Due to variations in site temperatures
and depending upon curing conditions, the Engineer may, at his discretion, vary the
time listed in Clause 11.3.1 of IS 456-2000 and the Contractor's rates shall be
deemed to cover such a contingency. Any damage to the concrete which may occur by
removal of the shutters or forms or by overloading shall be made good at the
Contractor's expense and to the satisfaction of the Engineer. No separate payment
shall be made for shuttering works. The rate for concrete shall be deemed to include
the cost of shuttering for all works.
7.10 Curing of concrete
Until a period of seven days has elapsed from the time of placing the concrete. It shall
be kept protected against direct sunlight, loss of moisture, rapid temperature change,
rain and flowing water, mechanical injury and contamination by air-borne dust
and/or sand. This period may be varied at the discretion of the Engineer. Following
completion of the above period, a further period of curing will be required as directed
by the Engineer. This may require that covers, sand layers and the like be kept in
place for longer than the 7 day minimum curing period otherwise specified.
The Contractor's attention is drawn to the importance of starting curing as soon as
possible after placing the concrete.
KPL/PP/Automobile Terminal/ 2021 Construction of Berth and CPY for Automobile Export/ Import Terminal-II
Page 153 of 246
All methods of curing and protecting freshly placed concrete shall be subject to the
prior approval of the Engineer. These methods may include the use of curing
membranes, watering, damp covers, shades and/or any other precautions acceptable
to the Engineer.
Curing membranes, where used, shall be sprayed on the surface of the concrete as
soon as all free water has evaporated from the surface, in the case of shutters which
have been eased or struck before seven days have elapsed from the date of placing
concrete, the curing membranes shall be applied immediately after the shutter has
been removed.
In case rain falls on the newly coated concrete before the membrane has dried
sufficiently to resist damage, or if the membrane is damaged in any other manner, a
new coat of the membrane shall be applied to the affected portions.
The Contractor should note that it is of the utmost importance that all concrete
surfaces against which further concrete is to be cast, shall be cleaned of all traces of
curing compounds to the satisfaction of the Engineers before commencement of
further operations.
The Contractor shall submit details of the curing procedure he proposes to use prior
to commencement of the concreting works.
During very hot weather conditions, the Contractor may be required to cool and/or
wet form work containing concrete by spraying with water and this shall be carried
out where directed notwithstanding other measures the Contractor my employ for the
curing of the concrete.
All materials, spray equipment and an ample supply of water for curing shall be ready
on site before any concreting starts. The quality of water used for curing shall comply
with the specifications of clause "Water". Care must be taken to ensure that the
temperature differences between curing water and concrete surface is not large
enough to cause adverse surface temperature gradients in the concrete.
Where concrete surfaces are to be painted or otherwise protectively treated
immediately after removal of the shutters, the Engineer may modify the curing
requirements specified in this clause in such a way as, in his sole opinion, is justified.
KPL/PP/Automobile Terminal/ 2021 Construction of Berth and CPY for Automobile Export/ Import Terminal-II
Page 154 of 246
Any concrete which exhibits plastic settlement or plastic or drying shrinkage or which
in the opinion of the Engineer has not been properly cured is liable to rejection, in
which case it shall be dealt with as described in Clause 6.9 entitled "Faulty Work".
8. Joints
8.1 Construction joints
Construction joints shall be formed either on horizontal or vertical planes. The exact
position of construction joints, if not shown on the Drawings, shall be agreed with the
Engineer before depositing the concrete.
Construction joints in structures shall generally be made across planes of minimum
shear. They shall, in addition, be so located and the amounts of concrete placed at
any one time shall be so limited in size and shape, as to minimize shrinkage and
temperature effects. Shuttering for construction joints shall be square to the work
and shall incorporate continuous shear keys of substantial proportions so as to
produce a well-keyed joint.
The outside edges of all construction joints shall be formed by means of dressed
timber edging secured to the shutter so as to ensure an exact straight finish. Stop-
ends shall be firmly fixed and made grout-tight and closely-fitting to all reinforcement
and other obstructions.
All horizontal construction joints are to be roughened by means of water blasting or
otherwise approved system by the Engineer, to expose the surface of the aggregate
and to remove all laitance.
Vertical construction joints will be roughened by using expanded metal as formwork,
or such other equivalent method acceptable to be Engineer. The Contractor's rates for
concreting shall be deemed to include the cost of all construction joints and all other
costs arising from compliance with the provisions of this clause.
8.2 Expansion joints
Expansion joints shall be formed at the locations shown on the drawings and be
provided with a steel edging construction as shown on the drawings. The
requirements for the steel construction shall be in accordance with relevant IS
Specification.
Expansion joints shall be of the pre-moulded type and shall extend to the entire width
of deck and from the bedding layer to 25 mm below the surface of the deck. They shall
be held so upright during the placing and finishing of the concrete by a metal

bulkhead a metal channel cap or other approved method. The concrete shall be
deposited on both sides of the joint and shall be compacted and struck off before the
bulk head is removed.
The joint filler shall comply with the requirements of IS 1838 -latest edition
"Specification for pre-formed filler for expansion joints, in concrete non-extruding and
resilient type".
8.3 Sealing of joints
After the curing period is over the temporary seal or other intruded materials of
expansion joints shall be removed completely and the slots filled with the approved
joint sealing compound. The joint opening shall be thoroughly cleared of all foreign
matter before the sealing material is placed. If necessary, the foreign matter shall be
blown out. All contact faces of the joint shall be cleaned with wire brush to remove
loose material and shall be surface dried when the sealing compound is poured. The
sealing compound shall conform to IS 1834 -1984 or its latest version.
The edges of joints shall be painted with a thin coat of bituminous paint which shall
be allowed to dry before the sealing compound is applied. The primer shall be applied
with a brush.
The bitumen shall be melted and fluxed with the oil when cold, solvent naptha shall
be added. Bituminous emulsions shall not be used as primers. Alternatively the
primer can be from the same manufacturer who is supplying sealing compound for
the work.
Care shall be taken to ensure that the sealing compound is not heated above 200° C
(392° F) and the temperature does not exceed 180° C (365° F) for long periods and for
other temperature as specified by the manufacturer of the compound.
Sealing compound shall be poured into the joint opening in such a manner that the
material will not be spilled on the exposed surface of the concrete. Any excess filler on
the surface of the deck shall be removed immediately and the deck surface cleaned.

10. Steel Reinforcement
10.1 Materials
The steel reinforcement required for this work shall conform to Section 4 Part -II
"Specification of Materials".
10.2 Bending and cutting schedules
The Contractor shall prepare for his own use bending schedules, bar lists, cutting
schedules and sheet lists for each individual structure from the information given on
the Drawings and in the Specification and shall be responsible for ensuring that
correct information is given when ordering reinforcement. Copies of these schedules,
lists and orders shall be submitted to the Engineer for approval. Steel bar supports
shall be included in the bending schedules.
The approval of these bending and cutting schedules, lists and orders shall not
release the contractor from his responsibility to ensure that reinforcement is provided
and fixed in accordance with the drawings.
10.3Protection and cleaning Reinforcing steel shall be protected at all times from damage
and excessive rusting and when placed in the structure shall be free from dirt, loose
mill scale, rust scale, paint oil and other foreign substances. All reinforcing steel shall
be carefully cleaned of all set, or partially set concrete and all shutter oil or paint,
which may have become accumulated during the construction of adjacent work.
10.4Bending of bars Steel reinforcement shall be cut from straight bars, free from kinks
and bends or other damage and bend cold by experienced competent workmen. Bars
of diameter greater that 19 mm shall be bent in bending machine designed for the
purpose and approved by the Engineer. Any reinforcing bar that has already been
bent shall not be re-bent at the place of the previously made bend. Dimensions for
bending shall be in accordance with the requirements set out in I.S. 2502.
10.5 Lapping of Bars
Lapping of Bars is permitted when necessary and approved by the Engineer provided
that they are not placed at critical sections. No welding shall be carried out unless
authorized by the Engineer.
Lapping lengths of bars shall be calculated in compliance with I.S. 2502 and I.S. 456.
Laps shall be arranged in staggered locations. Lapping of adjacent sections of wire
fabrics shall, generally, be carried out as follows:
i. End to end by lapping the two pieces one full mesh (measured from the ends of the longitudinal wires in one piece to the ends of longitudinal wires in the
KPL/PP/Automobile Terminal/ 2021 Construction of Berth and CPY for Automobile Export/ Import Terminal-II
Page 157 of 246
other piece) and securing the two pieces together with wire ties placed at intervals of about 45 cm.
ii. Side by side by placing the two selvage wires (the longitudinal wires at the edges of the fabric) one alongside and lapping the other and by securing the two pieces together with wire ties placed at intervals of approximately 90 cm.
10.6 Fixing of reinforcement
Within the restrictions of I.S. 456, reinforcement bars may be placed in bundles of up
to 3 bars. In each case the approval of Engineer must be obtained.
All reinforcing steel shall be accurately placed and retained in position during the
placing of concrete. Correct positioning will be achieved with the use of steel bar
supports, blocks, ties, hangers or other approved supports. Cover over reinforcement
steel shall be as indicated on the Drawings.
Supports for holding the reinforcement from contact with the forms, or adjacent
reinforcement, shall be made of approved plastic of approved shapes and dimensions.
Alternatively, concrete blocks may be used subject to the approval of Engineer.
Concrete blocks will only be approved if the blocks are made and cured with
equipment which has the approval of the Engineer and only if the Contractor can
provide evidence that concrete blocks are of the same concrete grade, quality and
density as the surrounding concrete.
The blocks shall be fitted with a semi-circular hollowing and double bent poured-in
binding wires. The water tightness of these blocks must be at least similar to the
concrete into which they are concreted. The use of pebbles, pieces of broken
stone or brick or other materials will not be permitted.
Steel shall be bound and tied in its correct position using steel wire, loose ends of
which shall be bent away from the shuttering. Apart from any other requirements the
reinforcing steel shall be fixed in such a manner that it will support its own weight
and any loads which may be imposed upon it during construction without
displacement, deflection or movement of any kind.
All reinforcement projecting from construction joints or likely to be exposed to the
weather for long periods before concreting is commenced shall be covered with
polythene, binding tape, cement grout or other materials to the satisfaction of the
Engineer in order to prevent excessive rusting or straining of the surrounding
concrete. Should rust staining occur on any permanently visible surfaces, it shall be
removed at once.

with Section 4Part IV - Concrete.
Concrete for use in diaphragm walls shall have a minimum characteristic strength of
35N/mm2 at 28 days and shall contain Ordinary Portland Cement.
Clean water, free from acids and other impurities and in accordance with the B.S
3148 shall be used in the making of concrete. The slump of the concrete shall
normally be in accordance with the following standard:
a) Minimum slump: 150mm
b) The concrete mix shall flow easily in the tremie pipe and shall be designed to give a dense concrete when placed by the tremie method.
c) Aggregate shall be preferably be of naturally rounded gravel and sand.
The maximum size of aggregate is to be suggested and limited to 20 mm (3/4’). The
shape of grading curve should flow evenly graded to prevent segregation.
Unless otherwise approved by the Engineer, a minimum cement content of 428
Kg/m3 is to be employed in making concrete which is to be placed by tremie methods
under bentonite slurry.
The concrete mix shall flow easily in the tremie pipe and shall be designed to give a
dense concrete when placed by the tremie method. Water cement ration shall not
exceed 0.50.
The use of ready mixed concrete will be subjected to the written approval of the
Engineer, who will required to inspect the plant from which it is to be supplied.
Placing in Works: The concrete will be compacted in its final position and left
undisturbed in a time as short as possible after mixing and not
later than 1 ½ hours after the time when the cement comes into
contact with wetter aggregates, i.e. the time when hydration of
cement commences.
Mixing: Plant mixed concrete will be agitated continuously by rotation
the mixer drum during transit and while awaiting discharge. In
the case of truck mixed concrete, the water may be added either
at the supplier’s plant or under the Contractor’s supervision
after arrival at site, but will not be added during transit. Any
additional water added must be recorded.
Records: The contractor will maintain full records of all supplied of ready
mixed concrete placed in the work, including:

(i) Delivery notes giving details of quality, mix proportions and
time of adding cement to the aggregates.
(ii) Position in the works where the concrete is placed.
Test Cubes: Works test cubes will be made on site by the Contractor in accordance
with provisions of specification, irrespective of any sampling and
testing which may be carried out by the supplier. Cubes for each
of diaphragm wall panel shall be prepared and tested in
accordance with relevant standards.
8.2 Bentonite slurry
The prepared bentonite slurry to be used in diaphragm wall construction shall follow
the specification in is 9556.
A certificate is to be obtained by the contractor from the manufacturer of the
bentonite powder, stating from which manufacturer’s consignment the material
delivered to site has been taken and showing properties of the consignment as
determined by the manufacturer. This certificate shall be made available to the
Engineer.
The bentonite powder shall be mixed thoroughly with clean fresh water. The
percentage of bentonite used to make the slurry shall be such as to maintain the
stability of the trench excavation.
Control tests are to be carried out on the bentonite slurry using suitable apparatus, to
determine the following parameter.
8.2.1 Bentonite slurry supplied to trench excavation
When the results show consistent behaviour, the tests for shear strength and pH
value may be discontinued and tests to determine density and viscosity only shall be
carried out as agreed with the Engineer. In the event of a change in the established
working pattern, the additional tests for shear strength and pH value shall be
reintroduced for a period if required by the Engineer.
The following test methods shall be employed in assessing the quality of Bentonite.

8.2.2 Bentonite slurry in trench prior to concrete
Prior to placing concrete in any panel, the Contractor shall ensure that heavily
contaminated bentonite slurry, which could impair the free flow of concrete from the
tremie pipe, has not accumulated in the bottom of the trench. Samples have to be
taken from the bottom of the trench for testing.
Note for guidance: One method of identifying contaminated bentonite slurry is to take
a sample of the slurry from near the bottom of the trench excavation (about 0.2m
above the base of trench) and to carry out a density test on this using a Mud Balance.
Where this method is employed, the density determined should not be greater than
1.3 g/ ml to enable satisfactory concrete placing.
The proposed method for checking this item is to be agreed with the Engineer prior to
the commencement of the Contract. If the bentonite slurry is found to exhibit
properties outside the agreed appropriate range, then it shall be modified or replaced
until the required agreed condition is achieved.
During construction the level of the bentonite slurry in the trench shall be maintained
within the depth of the guide walls and at a level not less than 1.0m above the level of
external standing ground water. In the event of a sudden loss of bentonite slurry, the
trench shall be backfilled without delay and inform the Engineer.
Where saline or chemical contaminated ground water occurs, special measures shall
be taken as required by the Engineer to modify the bentonite slurry. The modification
required depends on the nature of the contamination. In saline conditions, it is
frequently necessary to ensure that the bentonite is fully hydrated in fresh water
before supplying in to the trench.
All reasonable steps shall be taken to prevent spillage of bentonite slurry on the site
away from the immediate vicinity of the wall. Discarded bentonite slurry which has
been pumped from the trench is to be removed promptly from the site.

water level during boring of the pile. Jetting is not allowed as an aid for the boring.
The bottom of the completed pile shaft shall have a horizontal surface. The pile shafts
shall be bored to the depths as indicated on the drawings. The boring soil if dumped
around the piles will have to be removed by the contractor at their cost and the
Contractor's proposals for dumping or disposing of excavated soil / bored soil shall be
approved by the Engineer.
8. Clean-Out and Control of the Bottom of the Piles
After the boring has been carried out to the proper depth, all disturbed soil and loose
materials shall be pumped out in such a manner that, after the clean out operation,
the bore depth shall be maintained and bottom of the pile shaft remains horizontal.
Stones shall be grabbed out; bentonite shall be added continuously into the bore
during the clean-out operations, in order to keep the bentonite level at the required
elevation. The clean-out pumping arrangement shall be such that the lower end of the
pipe can be moved all over the cross section by a routine operation. The suction of the
pump shall be adjustable. After each clean-out operation, a break shall be made for a
period of at least five minutes, and then pumping shall be resumed and be continued
until the bentonite being pumped out is clean.
The cleaning of the bottom of the pile shaft is subject to the approval of the Engineer's
Representative. The checking shall normally be performed by the Contractor under
the supervision of the Engineer's Representative. The Contractor shall give adequate
notice to the Engineer to enable the inspection to be carried out with the minimum
delay. Only after the bottom level of the shaft has been reached and properly cleaned,
will the Engineer give his approval for commencement of concreting. This approval
however shall not relieve the Contractor of any of his responsibilities.
KPL/PP/Automobile Terminal/ 2021 Construction of Berth and CPY for Automobile Export/ Import Terminal-II
Page 178 of 246
Upon completion of cleaning of the pile shaft by the Contractor, a sample of the
bentonite suspension shall be taken from the base of the pile shaft using an approved
sampling device. If the specific gravity of the bentonite suspension exceeds 1.10 or its
sand content exceeds 2% the placing of concrete shall not proceed. In this event, the
Contractor shall modify or replace the bentonite or continue cleaning the bottom of
the shaft as directed by the Engineer's Representative.
9. Concreting
Concreting shall commence immediately after approval of the bottom of the pile shaft
and after reinforcing cage has been installed. If concreting has not been started within
four hours of completion of the cleaning of the bottom of the borehole, the cleaning
shall be repeated at the Contractor's expense and tests shall be repeated.
Concreting of piles shall be carried out without construction joints and executed
under bentonite by the tremie method. The bentonite level within the casing shall be
kept at a constant elevation, well above the water elevation outside the casing. The
tremie tube shall be filled with concrete while slowly lowering a valve or plug. The
tremie tube shall, at all times, be kept full of concrete up to the bottom of the hopper,
while the discharge end shall be kept sufficiently submerged (2 to 6 m) in already
deposited concrete to prevent surging of bentonite into the tube. The location of the
discharge end of the tremie tube relating to the surface of deposited concrete shall be
kept under strict supervision at all times. If, by accident, the concrete in the tremie
tube sinks below the bottom of the hopper, the tube shall be refilled in such a way
that no air or bentonite is trapper in the tube.
Concreting shall be continued to an adequate level above the theoretical cut-off
elevation (minimum 600 mm) to ensure that the quality of concrete below this cut-off
elevation is of a satisfactory quality. The cut-off elevations are to be as shown on the
Drawings unless otherwise directed by the Engineer.
The consistency shall be such that the concrete will flow evenly out of the tremie tube.
The proportions of the constituents of the concrete shall be closely monitored in order
to obtain a satisfactory consistency. During the execution, a continuous delivery of
concrete shall be guaranteed in order to minimize the re-handling of concrete and to
avoid damage to the structure of the concrete.
Seven days after casting of the concrete, the pile heads shall be trimmed and casing
shall be cut-off at the theoretical elevation without damaging the reinforcement or the
KPL/PP/Automobile Terminal/ 2021 Construction of Berth and CPY for Automobile Export/ Import Terminal-II
Page 179 of 246
concrete under the specified cut-off level and in such a way as to produce a horizontal
bearing surface.

11. Pile Load and Integrity Testing
11.1 General
The proposed construction of the Automobile Export/ Import Berth is based on land
based construction. The dredging of the berthing area will be carried out after the
completion of the diaphragm walls, piles and deck structure. Hence the pile load tests
both static and dynamic tests shall be planned carefully to achieve the actual
capacity.
Initial static pile load test shall be carried out on a pile constructed for this purpose
away from the berth construction area as directed by the Engineer. The results
obtained from the test shall be adjusted by suitable method to obtain the actual
capacity of the pile after dredging to a depth of (-) 16.00m CD. The method of such
adjustments shall be agreed by Engineer.
Similarly, the dynamic pile integrity and load testing shall be carried out on piles
installed as part of the berth structure and shall be tested accordingly. Similar to
static pile load test, the pile capacity obtained from dynamic pile load test shall be
corrected for additional skin friction above (-) 16.00m CD dredged level.
KPL/PP/Automobile Terminal/ 2021 Construction of Berth and CPY for Automobile Export/ Import Terminal-II
Page 181 of 246
11.2 Pile Vertical Load Tests:
The vertical load test shall be conducted on pile constructed in the berth area. Load
tests on piles shall be carried out only after 4 weeks from the time of casting the pile.
The scope of work includes all the permanent and temporary works related to
construction of test pile, anchor pile, Kent ledge, and associated equipment for
measuring load and displacement, loading and unloading of weights etc. to complete
the testing as per specifications and IS 2911 (Part 4).
The test load shall be 3 times the working load as per the design calculations.
Calculations and method statement for the proposed Kent ledge arrangement, support
piles or foundations, load and unloading sequence, calibration details of equipment,
etc. shall be submitted for Engineer’s approval.
The vertical load test shall be carried out as per I.S 2911 -1985 (part 4) and the test
should satisfy the load carrying capacity as specified in the relevant bill of quantities.
The test report shall be submitted to Engineer for approval.
11.3 Low Strain Pile Integrity Testing
Before commencing the piling work, the CONTRACTOR shall have on site suitable
equipment and trained personnel to carry out dynamic integrity testing of piles of
each diameter.
The principle of the dynamic integrity testing method to be used shall be based on the
application of impacts on the prepared pile head and measurement of the response of
the pile by means of equipment capable of recording and processing the pile strain
versus time, acceleration versus time and velocity versus time. Unless the
CONTRACTOR himself has proven experience, he shall employ a specialist firm with
proven experience in this kind of work.
Before commencing the tests, the CONTRACTOR shall provide a detailed description
and programme for the testing. The finishing of the pile head and the type of hammer
or weight to be used shall be suitable for measurement in accordance with the
recommendations for the testing equipment employed. The pile shall be provided with
transducers which convert strain, velocity and acceleration into electric signals. Such
signals shall be recorded by means of electronic equipment specifically developed for
this purpose including computer facilities as required. The raw data collected at field
shall be furnished in both hard and soft copy formats to the OWNER immediately
after conducting the test.
KPL/PP/Automobile Terminal/ 2021 Construction of Berth and CPY for Automobile Export/ Import Terminal-II
Page 182 of 246
The test result shall be fully interpreted by the CONTRACTOR in the CONTRACTOR'S
field office, unless elaboration in the Specialist firm's head office cannot be avoided.
The test results shall give an indication of the integrity of the pile. In addition the test
result shall be expressed in skin friction and toe resistance.
A complete report of each pile test, including a description of the equipment used and
an evaluation or judgement as to the accuracy of the results shall be submitted not
later than two weeks after the completion of the test. Intermediate or tentative results
shall be communicated to the OWNER's Representative as soon as available.
The OWNER's Representative will approve each pile in writing when he is satisfied
with all test results. No concreting of beams on any pile shall be commenced until all
piles supporting the beams to be cast have been approved. Test results shall be
submitted for approval of the Engineer before removing the equipment from the test
pile.
This method is covered under ASTM D5882-00 - Standard Test Method for High
Strain Dynamic Testing of Piles.
11.4 High Strain Dynamic Load Tests
The principle of the high strain dynamic testing method to be used shall be based on
the application of impacts on the prepared pile head and measurement of the
response of the pile by means of equipment capable of recording and processing the
pile strain versus time, acceleration versus time and velocity versus time. Unless the
CONTRACTOR himself has proven experience, he shall employ a specialist firm with
proven experience in this kind of work.
The pile shall be cast 2m additional height above the pile cut-off level and the tests
shall be performed on top. Upon completion of the test, the top portion of pile
including concrete, reinforcement etc. shall be cut and removed without affecting the
integrity of the pile.
High strain dynamic testing consists of estimating soil resistance and its distribution
from force and velocity measurements obtained near the top of a foundation impacted
by a hammer or drop weight. The impact produces a compressive wave that travels
down the shaft of the foundation.
A pair of strain transducers obtains the signals necessary to compute force, while
measurements from a pair of accelerometers are integrated to yield velocity. These
KPL/PP/Automobile Terminal/ 2021 Construction of Berth and CPY for Automobile Export/ Import Terminal-II
Page 183 of 246
sensors are connected to an instrument (such as a pile driving analyzer), that records,
processes and displays data and results.
The measured acceleration is used to compute the stress velocity by integration and is
used to calculate the resistance of soil during driving (in this case, the hammer
dropping at the pile head) and thus the long term capacity can be obtained. Dynamic
load testing takes a further step in analyzing the data and computing static capacity
and resistance distribution. Test results shall be submitted for approval of the
Engineer before removing the equipment from the test pile.
This method is covered under ASTM D4945-00 - Standard Test Method for High
Strain Dynamic Testing of Piles.
