IV Construction Regulations of Casting and Vibrating Concrete:

1. Make certain of the amount of each materials applied and the weight

of transport facilities according to the concrete mix proportion. Set

the standard of the weighing scale of cement, sand, and stone etc.

Each skip car shall be weighed when it is loading and the water rate of

aggregate shall be often tested and adjusted to make sure that the

moisture addition is right.

2. Order of loading: first put stones, and then cement, finally the sands.

If certain amount of additives is needed, it shall put into mixer

machine, together with water for stirring.

3. Time of agitation: The time of mixing concrete shall be at least more

than 90 seconds since all mixture have been loaded into mixer until it

begins to unload in order to make the concrete well mixed.

4. When the concrete start to mix, the technical apartment and the

section chief shall organize related workers to appraisal the slump

and the workability of the concrete and check if it fits for the ratio of

mixture and mix it after adjusting correctly.

5. Transportation of concrete: After unloading from the machine mixer,

the concrete shall be transported to the casting place in time. Prevent

the concrete from segregation, the lost of cement paste, changes of

slump and initial set during the transportation. If the concrete

before casting.(It shall according to the test when using admixture or

hard cement to mix concrete)

6. Keep the pump working when transporting concrete. If it has

problems and stops working over 45 minutes or the concrete

segregates, use the pressure water or other ways to flush the residual

deposit in the pump immediately.

7. The height of the concrete falling from the bell mouth shall less than

2 meters, and if the height of casting is higher than 3 meters it must

be settled by using elephant trunk or articulated chute.

8. Casting concrete shall be divided into sections and bedding surfaces

continuously. The height of casting surface shall according to its

configuration and the dilatability of steel reinforcement, generally

1.25times than the working part of vibrator, 50cm at the most.

9. It shall be plugged in quickly and out slowly by using the internal

vibrator. The inserting individual points shall be placed equably and

moved orderly and made stably without any pretermission. The space

between movements shall be less than 1.5times of the vibration

(commonly 30-40cm). It shall be plugged in the next layer for 5cm

when it is vibrating the upper layer in order to avoid the joint

between them. Surface vibrator (also called plate vibrator) `s

movement space shall assure that the slab of the vibrator covers the
 fringe of the stable part.

10.Casting concrete shall be processed continuously. If it needs

intermission time, make it as short as possible and finish casting the

second layer before the setting of the previous concrete. The

maximum intermission time shall be identified according to the

qualities of concrete, the temperature and the conditions of concrete

setting. Generally speaking, if the max intermission time is over 2

hours, construction joint method shall be adopted (roughening and

grouting).

11.During casting concrete, the formworks, steel bars, pre-reserved

holes, embedded parts, and steel dowel shall be frequently observed

to check if there are movements, distortion and block. Settle them

immediately if there exists any problem and modify it before the

settlement of concrete.

V Safety Precautions of Tensioning

Construction of Prestressed Tensioning

1. Irrelevant people shall not be allowed to enter the tensioning site.

2. Check the tensioning equipments and tools (for example: jack, oil

pump, pressure gauge, oil pipe) to make sure if they measure up with

construction and safety. The pressure gauge shall be checked

periodically.

3. The anchor ring and male cone shall be checked before used.
4. The joint and interfaces between high pressure oil pump and jack

shall be in good condition. The operator of oil pump shall wear

protective glasses.

5. When the oil pump starts to work, the oil feeding speed, the return

speed and the pressure gauge hand shall be kept steady and

congruous. The safety valve shall keep sensitive and reliable.

6. Before tensioning, the operator shall identify the connection channel

of the interphone. When the distance of two tensioning points is

relatively far, those communication equipments, such as interphones

shall be used.

7. During tensioning, operators shall stand on both sides of jack. It is

forbidden to stand in front or on the opposite of jack.

8. The tensioning work shall be immediately suspended and examined

when abnormal phenomenon occurred (such as violent shake of oil

scale; oil leakage; strange sounds from the machine, and break or

slide of steel strands).

9. Upon the completion of tensioning work, protective measurement

shall be taken during discharging the dowels. The discharging work

shall not be done by brute force.

10. After tensioning, the two anchors shall be perfectly protected,

without heavy load be applied. Guard rails and protective fences shall

be established at the ends of the box girder before grouting. It is
