6. MATERIAL
6.1 Cement
Cement used in concrete construction is Portland cement that is in accordance
with provisions of ASTM C150 of the following conditions:
Type I, Portland cement is known as common or general purpose cement.
It is generally assumed unless another type is specified. It is commonly
used for general construction especially when making precast and precast
- prestressed concrete that is not to be in contact with soils or ground
water.

RU-VI-SRM-CIV-001 WORKS --

Type II, this type is for general construction that is exposed to moderate
sulphate attack and is meant for use when concrete is in contact with soils
and ground water especially in the western United States due to the high
sulphur content of the soil.
Type III, this cement is similar to Type I, but with finer ground. Some
manufacturers make a separate clinker with higher C3S and/or C3A
content, but this is increasingly rare, and for the general purpose clinker is
usually used, with a specific surface typically 50-80% higher. The gypsum
level may also be increased a small amount. This gives the concrete using
this type of cement a three day compressive strength equal to the seven
day compressive strength of types I and II. Its seven day compressive
strength is almost equal to types I and II 28 day compressive strengths.
The only downside is that the six month strength of type III is the same or
slightly less than that of types I and II. Therefore the long-term strength is
sacrificed a little. It is usually used for precast concrete manufacture,
where high 1-day strength allows fast turnover of moulds. It may also be
used in emergency construction and repairs and construction of machine
bases and gate installations.
Type IV, the percentages of (C2S) and (C4AF) are relatively high and
(C3S) and (C3A) are relatively low. A limitation on this type is that the
maximum percentage of (C3A) is seven, and the maximum percentage of
(C3S) is thirty-five. This causes the heat given off by the hydration reaction
to develop at a slower rate. However, as a consequence the strength of
the concrete develops slowly. After one or two years the strength is higher
than the other types after full curing. This cement is used for very large
concrete structures, such as dams, which have a low surface to volume
ratio. This type of cement is generally not stocked by manufacturers but
some might consider a large special order. This type of cement has not
been made for many years, because Portland- pozzolan cements and
ground granulated blast furnace slag addition offer a cheaper and more
reliable alternative.
Type V, this cement has a very low (C3A) composition which accounts for
its high sulphate resistance. The maximum content of (C3A) allowed is five
percent for Type V Portland cement. Another limitation is that the (C4AF)

+ 2 (C3A) compositions cannot exceed twenty percent. This type is used


in concrete that is to be exposed to alkali soil and ground water sulphates
which react with (C3A) causing disruptive expansion. As with Type IV,
Type V Portland cement has mainly been supplanted by the use of
ordinary cement with added ground granulated blast furnace slag or
tertiary blended cements containing slag and fly ash.
6.2 Sand and Gravel (Coarse Aggregate)
Sand and gravel (coarse aggregate) for mixed concrete shall be in
accordance with provisions of ASTM C33.
Sand and gravel (coarse aggregate) that is not in accordance with
provisions of ASTM C33 but still can be used after having completed
special testing or after having been properly used can produce concrete
of acceptable strength and durability, it is acceptable for usage only after
receiving approval from PT Pertamina (Persero).
Testing for sieve analysis shall be in accordance with provisions of ASTM
C136 and conducted regularly, the testing outcome shall immediately be
submitted to PT Pertamina (Persero) for attaining approval.
6.3 Water
Water used for pouring concrete shall be potable water and free of acid
content, saline, oil, base, and other organics in hazardous quantity, and shall
be in accordance with provisions of ASTM C94. Non-potable water is subject
for usage only if the mortar testing cube using that water at day-7 and day-28
indicates the strength level of minimum 90% of similar specimen produced
using potable water. Mixed water shall not contain sulphur higher than 1,000
ppm and 500 ppm chloride. The comparison of concentration shall be
performed on identical mortar cube, except for mixed water that have been
prepared and tested under ASTM C109.

6.4 Accelerating Admixture


a. The use of accelerating admixture for mixed concrete shall attain prior
approval from PT Pertamina (Persero) and shall be in accordance with
provisions below or other equivalent and approved standards:
1. Pozzolanic admixture ASTM C618
2. Chemical admixture for concrete ASTM C494

3. Air-entraining ASTM C260


b. The use of accelerating admixture for mixed concrete is to create increase
of concrete features like strength, durability, workability and density.
c. The acceleration of desiccation on reinforced concrete shall not use
accelerating admixture containing calcium chloride.
d. At high temperature or if it affects the durability of chemical substances
like sulphur, the mixed concrete requires special treatment.
6.5 Reinforcement Bar
a. The use of reinforced concrete shall be in accordance with provisions of
SII-0316-80 and SNI 07-2052-2002, BJTD 40 for spiral reinforcement and
ASTM A185 for wire mesh reinforcement.
b. Yield test shall be performed to all rebar diameter and types and referred
to ASTM A370-12a.
c. Certified mill test reports shall be submitted as per request by PT

The use of reinforced concrete shall be in accordance with provisions of
SII-0316-80 and SNI 07-2052-2002, BJTD 40 for spiral reinforcement and
ASTM A185 for wire mesh reinforcement.
6.6 Fly Ash
Fly ash or other pozzolans used as admixtures shall conform to Specification
for Fly Ash and Raw or Calcined Natural Pozzolan for Use as a Mineral
Admixture in Portland Cement Concrete (ASTM C 618).
6.7 Bonding Agent for Concrete
Polyvinyl acetate (only for interior) or acrylic-base.
Epoxy adhesive (epoxy adhesive): ASTMC881, two-component material,
suitable for use on dry or damp surfaces. Use the type, quality and grade
of material according to the provisions.
6.8 Cement Mortar
Cement mortar is a building compound created by mixing sand and a selection
of aggregates with a specified amount of water. The mortar can be used for a
number of applications, such as plastering over bricks or other forms of
masonry. Sometimes referred to as sand cement, mortar blends today often
incorporate different grades of plastics to create various types of polymer
cement mortars.

Mortar has been used for centuries as a means of adhering bricks or concrete
blocks to one another. Cement mortar continues to be used in many different
types of construction. Professional building projects often employ mortar as
the binder between bricks in walls, fences, and walkways. Around the house,
cement mortar is often employed to make quick repairs in patio slabs and reset
loosened stones or bricks in a walkway or retaining wall. Homeowners
sometimes set childrens recreational equipment such as swing sets firmly in
the ground, minimizing the chances of the equipment shifting or toppling while
in use.
The reference for Cement Mortar is ASTM C1329 / C1329M 12, Standard
Specification for Mortar Cement.

7. CONCRETE DURABILITY
7.1 Water Cementitious Material Ratio
The water-cementitious materials ratios specified in Table 7.1 shall be
calculated using the weight of cement meeting ASTM C 150, C 595M, or C
845, plus the weight of fly ash and other pozzolans meeting ASTM C 618, slag
meeting ASTM C 989, and silica fume meeting ASTM C 1240, if any, except
that when concrete is exposed to de-icing chemicals, further limits the amount
of fly ash, pozzolans, silica fume, slag, or the combination of these materials.

It consists of a poker, housing an eccentric shaft driven through a flexible


drive from a motor. The poker is immersed in concrete and thus applies
approximately harmonic forces to it; hence, the alternative names of poker
vibrator or immersion vibrator.
External Vibrator
This type of vibrator is rigidly clamped to the formwork which rests on an
elastic support, so that both the form and the concrete are vibrated. As
a result, a considerable proportion of the work done is used in vibrating
the formwork, which has to be strong and tight so as to prevent distortion
and leakage of grout.
Vibrating Table
A vibrating table provides a reliable means of compaction of precast
concrete units and has the advantage of ensuring uniform vibration. The
system can be considered as a case of formwork clamped to the vibrator,
as opposed to that of an external vibrator, but the principle of vibrating the
concrete an formwork together is the same.
Recommendations for consolidation of concrete are given in detail in Guide
for Consolidation of Concrete reported by ACI Committee 309.

14. CURING
a. After pouring is completed, all concrete surfaces must be kept soaked for
at least 5 days except concrete that originally has high concentration and
get hardened faster, and then it must be kept soaked for at least 3 days.
b. All concrete surfaces shall be covered with wet rough fabric, cotton or
other suitable fabric, such as curing compound, immediately after the
pouring is complete.
c. During the curing, the cover fabric shall be maintained in place. The cover
fabric shall be released when the concrete is hard enough, and the
concrete surface must immediately be covered with sand, stubble, or other
materials of the kind. In any case, material used shall be fully soaked
during the curing period.
d. Formwork (wooden) shall be maintained moist during the curing period.
