Independent tests shall be carried out on samples of bricks. The Sampling Procedure & Testing Methods shall be in accordance with the requirements of BS 3921 Part 3. 2.1.2.4 Cement 3 Cement shall be Portland Cement BS 12 and the locally available cement brand shall be subject to the approval of the Engineer. 2.1.2.5 Fine Aggregate and Course Aggregate Concrete Works: Concrete works for buildings shall be carried out in accordance with British Standard BS 8110. Concrete plasticizing and set-retarding admixtures may be used only with the approval of the Engineer and the Contractor shall note that the exposure condition for the concrete at these sites is classed as severe. The Contractor shall contact the manufacture of such admixtures for details on concrete mix parameters. Concrete mix designs shall be submitted to the Engineer for approval, at least three weeks prior to plans to carry out a test mix and test block of the reservoir wall using same formwork and form-ties as proposed in the construction. Form-ties shall require prior approval of the Engineer before carrying out the test block. .Curing of the concrete shall be carried out immediately after placement and compaction of the concrete, in accordance with BS8110. The bottom slab shall be finished by motor trowel to a smooth surface. Building Works: The sand may be naturally occurring material like river sand, pit sand or crushed stone sand. It shall generally conform to BS 1198, BS 1193 and BS 1200. It shall be hard, durable, clean and free from adherent coatings such as clay. It shall not contain harmful materials like pyrites, salts, coal or other organic impurities, mica, shale or similar laminated materials, or flaky or elongated particles in such a form or in sufficient quantity to affect adversely the hardening, strength or durability of the mortar. In addition to the above, the sand when used for reinforced brickwork shall not contain any material, which may attack the reinforcement. The quantity of clay, silt and dust shall not exceed the following unless there is satisfactory evidence to the contrary. In natural sand - 3% by mass when determined by the decantation method given in BS 812. In crushed stone sand - 15% by mass when determined by the sedimentation method given in BS 812.
