Equipments tools and machinery will be done after the site assessment and arrangement of secure and safe place for AMD accommodation and storage.2.5- Site cleaning for construction work.The site properly cleans before starting of construction activity of the project to avoid any disturbance to the construction work process. The work site perimeter will be cleared and grubbed. Clearing will involve unskilled labors equipped with picks and shovels and if necessary light machinery shall be used.2.6- Supply of construction materials equipmentsAll equipment material and articles incorporated into the work covered by OUR all will be new and of the most suitable grade for the purpose intended. It will be AMD according to the specification and code of construction which are given in the contract.2.7-SITE WORKThe OUR engineering team will conduct a proper site assessment for the implementation of the project and collect all measurements and data from the site which is needed for the project. The OUR shall locate and layout the plate form concrete pad in AMD accordance with the drawings and AMD accordance with the contracting officer Representative direction approval prior to excavation and construction. The excavation and grading shall be done AMD according to the below procedure.ExcavationThe following aspects shall be given to the excavation during the construction of the faculties. The excavation shall be done along the profile with width and depth as per drawing. The bottom level of excavation for foundation of reinforced concrete shall be properly leveled. Foundation excavation shall extend an adequate distance from both sides to allow for placing and removal of forms. The surface water shall direct away from the excavation to prevent erosion and undermining the foundation by constructing diversion ditches.The excavation shall be excavated AMD according to the technical requirements of the scope of work and statement of work.GradingThe grading shall be done after the excavation of foundation the sub grade shall be of compacted soil 95 .Placing of ConcreteFor the placing and working of concrete the following specification and description shall be considered during the construction of concrete structures. The AMD concrete strength shall be 3000 psi for the construction of foundation and walls.Ingredients of concreteThe concrete is composed of coarse aggregate fine aggregate cement and water. Cement acts as binding material. a rock chip is used as coarse aggregates whereas sand is used as fine aggregates. Clean water is used to put all the ingredients together to form hardened concrete. Quality of concrete will depend on the quality of its ingredients.Rock ChipsRock chips are the main constituents of concrete and occupy the bulk volume of concrete. The following are the desired qualities of aggregates Aggregates shall be of desired size. All aggregates must clean and free from foreign particles. All aggregates must be hard and its strength must be desired value. Aggregates must be well graded.SendThe following are the desired qualities of sand Sand as fine aggregates must clean and free form foreign particles Sand must be well graded Finances modulus of sand must be of desired value.CementCement is the binding material for the ingredients of concrete. Ordinary Portland cement shall be used in Afghanistan the Cherat Pakistan made cement gave very god result and used widely. Cement is generally tested before use and the tests are Fineness Setting time Compressive testWaterWater for mixing concrete should have the following qualities Water should be free from impurities Water should be cleanMix RatioThe ratio of cement sand and aggregate will be by volume. The strength of concrete depends on the ratio of concrete. The ratio of concrete is expressed as 136 124 or 1153. 124 is considered in most cases. For high strength of concrete 1153 is used.Mixed ratio is measured by standard a basket that contains a bag of cement. The size of the standard bucket is 45cm height 30 cm length and 30 cm width volume 1.25 ft3 or 0.035375m as sand increases in volume with presence of small amount of water in it this increase of volume of sand due to bulking of sand should be considered while volume calculation of sand. In the case of 25 bulking of sand the volume of sand to be considered would be 1.25 times the original volume.Water Cement RatioThe strength of concrete depends on water cement ratio. The water content ratio is calculated on the basis of weight of water and cement. The amount of water in concrete will be such that the fresh concrete will be workable as well as hardened concrete will have enough strength to withstand desired loads. Excess water decreases the strength of concrete.We know one bag of cement is 5 Kg. if its water cement ratio is 0.55. Than water will be 0.55 X 50Kg. 27. 27.5 Kg. 27.5 Liters.Mixing of Concrete The volume of casting is comparatively smaller quantity mixing will be done by hand mix other wise mixture machine may be use. Mixture shall be homogenous. 5-10 water of total volume shall be put on turning drum before cement sand and aggregate are applied for mixing.Carrying and Placing ofAfter mixing of concrete it should be carried to the specified sites as quickly as possible. All mixed concrete place with at final position within 45 minute. Mixed concrete shall not be placed beyond Im height. Excess water should not add while placing or vibrating the concrete.Vibration of ConcreteConcrete should be compacted by means of vibration. It can be done by means of vibratory or poking concrete with the help of rods .all vibration will be completed before initial setting of time. Vibration will compact of fresh concrete. In absence of vibrator 16mm diameter rod can be used as vibrator.CuringCuring increases the strength of concrete. Cement contains some chemical ingredient that require to hydrolysis for chemical reaction to form a rock like substance. The reaction takes place up to 21 to 28 days. For this reason curing of concrete is required to be done for 28 days. Curing is an environment that helps hydrolysis of cement. It is generally done by spreading water to the concrete surface or covering it with wet sacks so that the water in the concrete does not evaporate. It is generally started after 16 to 24 hour of casting.Quality Control of ConcreteConcrete is produced from cement coarse aggregates fine aggregates and water. As a result quality of concrete will depend on many factors. A few are Properties of the ingredients. Proportion of ingredients. Water Cement Ratio. Mixing carrying placing compacting curing etc.After producing fresh concrete slump test should be performed. Slump test should be performed immediately after collection of the sample but not later than 10 minutes after completion of mixing. Molding of test cylinderscubes should commence within 20 minutes after completion of mixing.The strength requirement of concrete is given in Table below.Strength standard deviation not exceeding 2.1 MNm2 3000 PSI. Minimum three samples will be required for testing from each batch.Reinforcing RodRein ForcemeatThe concrete can resist compression but not tension. For this reason reinforcing rods are provided in the concrete to sustain tension that develops in concrete. The reinforcing material is high strength steel wire mild steel high strength plastic fiber etc. the following shall consider while checking reinforcement Appropriate diameter of reinforcement. All rods shall be clean and rust free. All rods should be straight. Appropriate crank in rods is placed at proper place. Length of lapping of rods is provided as per requirement. Rods as per drawing are placed. For maintaining of clear cover chair space bar are provided. Actual size of rods is used. Rods should be uniform in size. Rods will have desired tensile strength.SAFETY PLANFor Example Jacket Cap and Emergency Box for staff at site.General-It is the keen desire of the AMD to abide by a principal policy by making strenuous efforts from management to the subordinate level of supervision for a safe working environment on all projects the company initiates.The primary anxiety of the companys management is to assure and establish definitive safety and health standards throughout its organization.
