Earth work excavation for basement above 3 m should be stepped form
Any back filling shall be compacted 95% of dry density at the optimum moisture content and in layers not more than 200mm for filling above structure and 300 mm for no structure
F soling is specified the soling stones shall be laid at 45° to 60° inclination (and not vertical) with interstices filled with sand or moorum.
A set of cube tests shall be carried out for each 30 cum of concrete / each levels of casting / each batch of cement.

For concrete grades M20 and above approved admixture shall be used as per mix design requirements.
Cement shall be stored in dry places on a raised platform about 200mm above floor level and 300mm away from walls. Bags to be stacked not more than 10 bags high in such a manner that it is adequately protected from moisture and contamination.
Samples from fresh concrete shall be taken and at least a set of 6 cubes of 150mm shall be prepared and
cured. 3 Cubes each at 7 days and 28 days shall be tested for compressive strength. The test results
should be submitted to engineer for approval. If results are unsatisfactory necessary action/rectification/remedial measures has to be exercised.

Things Site Engineers Must Know About Reinforcement and Steel Bars
Check out the Unit Weights and Conversion which will be required on construction site here
We at engineeringcivil.com are thankful to Er Vikrant for submitting this construction site check list which is of great use to all civil engineers.
If you have a query, you can ask a question here.
thanks for good knowledge
Very Helpful and Informative
its really beneficial to enhance and command over civil engineer
very very usefull
Nice
Thank you so much for that.
I need a standard sizes of rooms using draw a plan and Dia of reinforcement bars using slab, column ,beam, and stairs
What is the IS code for finding the backfilling layer thickness
Very useful site. Very useful information. Its really beneficial to enhance good knowledge. Very useful site.
Very good site.It is really good for enhance civil engineering knowledge
That’s very helpful..we all have should Know this as a civil engineer. Thank you
That’s very helpful and useful information. But I want you add some mix design basic information for use in building planning. Thankyou
That’s very helpful..we all have should Know this as a civil engineer. Thank you
