3. Sequence of works (beam & slab).

Setting Support & Bottom Formwork

Construction Joint Treatment

4. Formworks DesignFormwork shall be set in correct position following specification and the approved structure drawings.Please refer to Appendix B for Typical formworks & support for 2nd floor slab.Formworks and support is calculated as shown in Attachment CApproved form oil will be applied to form surface prior to installation of form.5. Construction joint treatment

Inspection of re bar

Setting Side Formwork

Placing Concrete

Stripping of Form

Stripping Support and Prop after Getting Design Strength 100%

Inspection for casting concrete

Inspection for Construction Joint

Assembling re bar

Curing

All construction joints will be chipped to remove cement sand surface to make rough surface. In some cases, approved retarder for concrete surface will be used as another method to make construction joint properly. 6. Rebar fabrication & settingApproved re-bar type will be delivered to site and it will be inspected & tested prior to use.Re-bar shall be cut and bent according to the approved schedule at the site workshop and transported to site by truck. After delivery to the site re-bars shall be fixed according to specification and approved drawings by Engineer or Consultant.Rebar shall be inspected by Engineer or Consultant prior to install of next layer or formworks.Any mistake rebar will be replaced or repaired by approved method.Approved concrete spacer shall be used; its concrete grade shall be 35 MN/m2. 7. Installation of embed item All the embed item showing in the drawings shall be firmly installed in correct position.8. Placing of ConcreteApproved ready-mix concrete will be transported from batching plant to the site by mixer truck. During transportation & waiting time the concrete shall be kept continuously agitated.From mixer truck concrete will be poured to casting location by concrete pump or by bucket. The height from discharge position to casting level shall not be over 1.5m.On each concreting day and for each grade of concrete mix, samples shall be taken. When samples are taken at sites, samples shall be taken for every 24m3 of concrete or part thereof, of each grade of concrete. Minimum requirement of sample

- Each concreting day- Each part of structure (each building)- After filling above condition, samples shall be taken for every four

mixer or agitating truck (20~24m2).9. Compaction of Concrete.

Concrete after pouring to position shall be compacted by immersion vibrator. Proper staging for vibration works will be arranged. Wooden or rubber hammer also will be used as external vibrator in some cases.10. Removal of formworks Form works removal shall be accordance with specification Clause 4.20 or as proposal hereunder.

- All vertical or side formworks : 12 hrs (The period shall commence from the time of last pour of concrete)

- Soffit formworks to slabs & beams : 3 days ((The period shall commence from the time of last pour of concrete)

- Props to slabs & beams: Requirement in Specification is 14 days. We propose that before remove props we will carry out testing for cube sample, whenever if we get 100% designed strength of concrete we will remove props (After skirting of formworks, props shall be immediately put up to support the structure)

- Props to cantilever slabs & cantilever beams: Requirement in Specification is 21 days. We propose that before remove props we will carry out testing for cube sample, whenever if we get 100% designed strength of concrete we will remove props (After skirting of formworks, props shall be immediately put up to support the structure)

* Testing for purpose of removal formworks will be carried out at 7th days after finish casting concrete.

All tie rod holes & defects on surface will be repaired following approved method.11. Curing.After removal of form works, concrete shall be cured minimum of 6 days according to TCXDVN 391:2007– Requirements for Natural Moist Curing, apply for Area C of Viet Nam.Curing of concrete will be carried out by spraying water periodically to the surface of the newly placed concrete. Jute bag or nylon sheet shall be used to cover the concrete surface for keeping wet.Water to be used for curing and cleaning works is portable water from local authority.Approved curing compound also will be used in several cases.

12. Protecting against raining.Against raining, plastic sheet shall be prepared to cover over the concrete area before concreting. 13. ElectricityElectricity will be supplied by generators on site.14. Equipment & Manpower a)Equipment
