2.  Printed Booklet having rates of different
works.
 List of different items of work.
 Serves as a guide in deciding rates of
various items of work.
 If rates of contractor differs much from
DSR rates, his tender may be rejected.

3.  Lengths shall be measured to the
nearest 0.01m.
 Areas shall be measured to the nearest
0.01m2.
 Volumes shall be measured to the
nearest 0.01m3.

4. (A) PCC 1:4:8 for Foundation Concrete:
1. Cement:
a) OPC
b) Fresh Stock
c) If stored for more than 60 days,
test before using

5. (A) PCC 1:4:8 for Foundation Concrete:
2. Coarse Aggregate:
a) Of hard broken stones (about 40mm)
b) Free from dust, organic materials
c) Well graded
d) Lesser voids

6. (A) PCC 1:4:8 for Foundation Concrete:
3. Fine Aggregate:
a) Of coarse sand (about 4.75 mm)
b) Free from dust, organic materials
c) Hard, sharp, angular
d) In dry condition

7. (A) PCC 1:4:8 for Foundation Concrete:
4. Water:
a) Clean & Potable
b) Free from acidic and alkaline matters
c) Free from other impurities

8. (A) PCC 1:4:8 for Foundation Concrete:
5. Proportion:
a) Must be measured using a Box
b) Volume of Box must be equal to volume of 1
bag of cement
c) Take 1 bag cement; 4 boxes Fine Aggregate
and 8 boxes of Coarse Aggregate

9. (A) PCC 1:4:8 for Foundation Concrete:
6. a. Machine Mixing:
a) First put Coarse agg. fine agg cement in hopper.
b) Let this dry mixture be mixed for at least 4 turns of
hopper
c) Then add water slowly
d) Mix this mixture for at least 2 minutes
e) Get a uniform colored and consistent mixture

10. (A) PCC 1:4:8 for Foundation Concrete:
6. b. Hand Mixing:
a) First dry mix Coarse agg., fine agg., and cement on
a smooth platform.
b) Slowly add water and mix again.
c) Mix shall be turned 3 times in dry condition and 3
times in wet condition.
d) It gives you a consistent and workable mixture.

11. (A) PCC 1:4:8 for Foundation Concrete:
7. Laying and Compacting:
a) Before laying concrete in trench, sprinkle some water
b) Concrete is laid slowly in layers not more than 20 cm
and compacted before putting another layer
c) Before 2nd layer is laid, make top surface of 1st layer
rough
d) All this process should be free from dust, leaves, earth
etc.

12. (A) PCC 1:4:8 for Foundation Concrete:
8. Curing:
a) Concrete must be kept wet for at
least 7 days
b) Curing using Gunny Bags or sprinkling
water at regular intervals

13. (A) PCC 1:4:8 for Foundation Concrete:
9. Measurements:
a) Measurement shall be taken in cu.m
for finished concrete
b) Measurements (Length, Breadth and
Depth) shall be accurate up to 0.01m.
