1 Smooth-Rubbed Finish: Not later than one day after form removal, moisten
concrete surfaces and rub with carborundum brick or another abrasive until
producing a uniform color and texture. Do not apply cement grout other than that
created by the rubbing process.
2 Grout-Cleaned Finish: Wet concrete surfaces and apply grout of a consistency
of thick paint to coat surfaces and fill small holes. Mix one part portland cement
to one and one-half parts fine sand with a 1:1 mixture of bonding admixture and
water. Add white portland cement in amounts determined by trial patches so
color of dry grout will match adjacent surfaces. Scrub grout into voids and
remove excess grout. When grout whitens, rub surface with clean burlap and
keep surface damp by fog spray for at least 36 hours.
3. Cork-Floated Finish: Wet concrete surfaces and apply a stiff grout. Mix one
part portland cement and one part fine sand with a 1:1 mixture of bonding agent
and water. Add white portland cement in amounts determined by trial patches so
color of dry grout will match adjacent surfaces. Compress grout into voids by
grinding surface. In a swirling motion, finish surface with a cork float.
B. Scratch Finish: While still plastic, texture concrete surface that has been
screeded and bull-floated or darbied. Use stiff brushes, brooms, or rakes.
1 Apply float finish to surfaces indicated, to surfaces to receive trowel finish, and to
floor and slab surfaces to be covered with fluid-applied or sheet waterproofing,
built-up or membrane roofing, or sand-bed terrazzo.

4. DESIGN
4.1 INTRODUCTION TO DESIGN OF PRECAST CONCRETE STRUCTURES
PRE-STRESSED HOLLOW CORE SLABS (HCS):
The Hollow core slab is a pre-stressed element with hollow inside the concrete section. This cavity creating empty
portions defines the name - “Hollow Core Slab”.
• In principle these are series of small I-sections joined on its top and bottom flanges – optimizing the Moment of
Inertia with minimal concrete.
• Tendons are used as the reinforcements for hollow core slabs. Most commonly used tendons are stress-relieved
and low- relaxation wires with ultimate strengths, fpu =1770 or 1860 Mpa.
• Although the HCS is designed one-way with a standard width of 1.2m strip, design codes (ACI-318, and Precast
Concrete Institute - PCI) supports that “when the HCS are installed and grouted on its joints and keyways, the
individual slab become a system that behaves similar to a monolithic slab.” – PCI HCS Design Manual Section 2nd
Edition Chapter 3.
• Load distribution mechanism –”As load is applied to one slab in a system, the response of the slab system is to
deflect and twist if the load is not on the longitudinal center of the slab. As the loaded slab edges try to move down,
the interlock of the grout in the joints with the keyways formed in the slab edges forces adjacent slabs to deflect a
similar amount. The flexural and torsional stiffness of the adjacent slabs reduce the deflection of the loaded slab from
what might be expected if the slab were alone. Shear forces are developed along the keyways and the loaded slab
then gets some support from the adjacent slabs. As this effect trickles through the system, the keyways between
slabs force equal deflections for the slab edges at any given keyway.” – From the PCI HCS Design Manual 2nd
Edition Chapter 3.
• Composite design – Capacities and stiffness of pre-stressed sections such as HCS can be enhanced by increasing
the depth. A direct way of attaining this is to overlay a structural topping/screed over the pre-stressed member.
This additional composite section develops both an increased slab capacity for gravity loads and provides more
options on installing tie reinforcements for load transfer of diaphragm.
FULL FRAME PRECAST CONCRETE STRUCTURE:
A full frame Precast concrete structure is composed of precast strip footings, individual footings, external insulated load
bearing walls, internal load bearing and non-load bearing walls, precast columns, precast/pre-stressed beams, precast
parapets, precast stairs, pre-stressed hollow core slabs or pre-stressed single-tee slabs from ground floor to roof.
The overall lateral stability is secured by the load bearing precast walls that act as shear walls. The gravity loads are
primarily taken by the load bearing walls and columns. All the units are tied together by reinforcement in grouted joints,
transferring all the loads to the precast foundation.
Static System.
Vertical loads are transferred from the pre-stressed Hollowcore slabs or single-tee slabs to the load bearing precast
panels or beams then to the foundation.
Horizontal loads will be transferred through the diaphram action in the Hollowcore slabs and screed as sufficient
reinforcement will be provided. Usually, the 60mm structural screed reinforced with steel wire mesh will enhance the
diaphragm capacity. The horizontal load from the structural screed is then transferred to the shear walls with dowels,
transferring the load down to the foundation.
For the building stability in general the wind and seismic loads will be taken into account. The foundation is made of precast
inverted „T‟ strip footing or independent socket footing. UPC will provide the foundation loads and coordinate details to
ensure that the loads can be transmitted from the superstructure to the foundation.

4.3 MATERIAL PROPERTIES
Concrete Property: Cylinder Cube
Nominal Cover
Recommended expansion joints spacing for Precast Concrete Buildings is generally based on experience. Evaluation of
joint spacing should consider the types of connection used and the column stiffness in simple span structures, the relative
stiffness between beams and columns in framed structure, location of lateral load resisting elements and the weather exposure
conditions. Non heated structures, such as parking structures, are subjected to much greater temperature changes
than enclosed structures, so the distance between expansion joints should consider the previously mentioned items.
The assessment of the use of expansion joints is done in accordance to the calculation method described in the
PCI Design Handbook (6th Edition) Figure 3.10.20.
Width of Expansion Joints can be calculated theoretically using coefficient of expansion of;
δ = 10 x 10 -6 mm/mm, oC Coefficient of expansion for normal concrete
Differential Temperature, Δdt = 30o
Δw = δ * Δdt * L
L = Building Length
Maximum Distance between Expansion Joints;

4.7 NOISE RESISTANCE
The following guidelines are in accordance to BS 8233.
Noise travels through a building mainly in 4 different ways.
1. Sound transmission directly though the material. The thicker and heavier the more noise resistance can be achieved.
2. Flanking transmission. Means, through joints between walls and floor to floor joints. Again the more mass the better.
3. Through floor voids, loft spaces, service ducts and similar paths. Good workmanship, air tightness and insulation are
required.
4. Impact sound refers to sources which produce sound by impulsive excitation of part of a building e.g. footsteps, electric
light switches and slamming doors. Sound impacts from footsteps can be reduced by introducing a soft flooring layer. The
proper assessment of the impact sound should be, done by the consultant as he designs the complete floor construction.
5. For computation of slab vibration limits, please refer to section 9.70 of PCI Design Handbook 6th Edition where detailed
illustrations and procedures is shown.
Noise Resistance Directly Through a Concrete Plate
The determination of the value of noise resistance of a single leaf monolithic building material plate can be approximated
according to the “Mass Law”, which says that there is a relation between the mass per Square meter (kg/m 2) and the achievable
noise resistance.
The noise resistance is given as R‟w (dB). Precast concrete single leaf walls with a density of min. 2400 kg/m3 will have the
following noise resistance values. For light weight concrete walls or block walls the noise resistance values can easily be
calculated when knowing the density and thickness by comparing mass and R‟w.

Basic fresh concrete tests are carrying out in UPC own laboratory. Slump and density tests for all mixes will
be taken during production on a daily basis. No fresh concrete tests will be conducted on hollow core slab
mix as the mix is semi dry in nature. As a minimum, one set of cubes (3 Nos.) will be taken from each
mix for every 50m3 / daily for compressive strength at 7 and 28 days.
For hollow core slabs and other pre-stressing elements, two additional cubes will be taken for each
casting bed to ensure the de-stressing strength.
In addition to the above, if any further tests are required, main contractor to arrange the third party
laboratories and UPC will provide the necessary assistance for sampling. On the other hand, if contractually
agreed, UPC will arrange the third party laboratory and perform the sampling and testing as per the project
specification or as agreed.
7.2 Hardened concrete tests
Compressive strength tests and density checks are carried out in UPC own laboratory for all the mixes. Out
of one set (3 Nos.) of cubes from each mix, one will be tested at 7 days and the other 2 will be tested for 28
days compressive strength.

PART 2 - PRODUCTS
2.01 MATERIALS
A. Prepare design mixes for each type and strength of lightweight concrete by either
laboratory trial batch or field-test data methods. For trial batch method, use a
qualified independent testing agency for preparing and reporting proposed mix
designs.
A. Mixing Screed: Insulating screed is mixed in the same equipment and by similar
methods as sand-cement screed, to assure correct screed properties and
adequate yield.
C. Wet Density: The wet density shall be tested at continuous intervals to the
manufacturer’s recommendations and filed tests for wet density shall be within
the specified range.
D. Air Entraining Agent: The use of the correct amount of air entraining agent and
the proper concentration will be as per manufacturer’s instruction. The air
entraining agent produces countless tiny air bubbles in the screed which reduces
the density, increases the yield and contributes to the insulation factor of the dry
screed. Air entrained screed is also more resistant to water absorption.

resistance rating required.
C. Install sealant by proven techniques that result in sealants directly contacting and
fully wetting joint substrates, completely filling recesses provided for each joint
configuration, and providing uniform, cross-sectional shapes and depths relative
to joint width that provide optimum sealant movement capability. Install sealants at
the same time joint fillers are installed.
D. Tool nonsag sealant immediately after sealant application and prior to the time
skinning or curing begins. Form smooth, uniform beads of configuration indicated
or required to produce fire-resistance rating, as well as to eliminate air pockets, and
to ensure contact and adhesion of sealant with sides of joint. Remove excess
sealant from surface adjacent to joint. Do not use tooling agents that discolour
sealants or adjacent surfaces or are not approved by sealant manufacturer.
E. Cleaning
1 Clean off excess fill materials and sealants adjacent to openings and joints as work
progresses by methods and with cleaning materials approved by manufacturers of
firestopping products and of products in which opening and joints occur.
2 Protect firestopping during and after curing period from contact with contaminating
substances or from damage resulting from construction operations or other causes
so that they are without deterioration or damage at time of substantial completion.
If, despite such protection, damage or deterioration occurs, cut out and remove
damaged or deteriorated firestoppping immediately and install new materials to

3 The term "exposed surfaces" includes areas visible when permanent or built-in
fixtures, grilles, convector covers, covers for finned-tube radiation, and similar
components are in place. Extend coatings in these areas, as required, to
maintain system integrity and provide desired protection.
4 Paint surfaces behind movable equipment and furniture the same as similar
exposed surfaces. Before final installation of equipment, paint surfaces behind
permanently fixed equipment or furniture with prime coat only.
5 Paint interior surfaces of ducts with a flat, nonspecular black paint where visible
through registers or grilles.
6 Paint back sides of access panels and removable or hinged covers to match
exposed surfaces.
7 Sand lightly between each succeeding enamel or varnish coat.
B. Scheduling Painting: Apply first coat to surfaces that have been cleaned,
pretreated, or otherwise prepared for painting as soon as practicable after
preparation and before subsequent surface deterioration.
1 The number of coats and film thickness required are the same regardless of
application method. Do not apply succeeding coats until previous coat has cured
as recommended by manufacturer. If sanding is required to produce a smooth,
even surface according to manufacturer's written instructions, sand between
applications.
2 Omit primer over metal surfaces that have been shop primed and touchup
painted.
3 If undercoats, stains, or other conditions show through final coat of paint, apply
additional coats until paint film is of uniform finish, color, and appearance. Give
special attention to ensure that edges, corners, crevices, welds, and exposed
fasteners receive a dry film thickness equivalent to that of flat surfaces.
4 Allow sufficient time between successive coats to permit proper drying. Do not
recoat surfaces until paint has dried to where it feels firm, and does not deform or
feel sticky under moderate thumb pressure, and until application of another coat
of paint does not cause undercoat to lift or lose adhesion.
C. Application Procedures: Apply paints and coatings by brush, roller, spray, or
other applicators according to manufacturer's written instructions.
1 Brushes: Use brushes best suited for type of material applied. Use brush of
appropriate size for surface or item being painted.
2 Rollers: Use rollers of carpet, velvet-back, or high-pile sheep's wool as
recommended by manufacturer for material and texture required.
3 Spray Equipment: Use airless spray equipment with orifice size as
recommended by manufacturer for material and texture required.
D. Minimum Coating Thickness: Apply paint materials no thinner than
manufacturer's recommended spreading rate to achieve dry film thickness
indicated. Provide total dry film thickness of the entire system as recommended
by manufacturer.

may be used when traffic demands are light. Cars shall park at random or at their
last stop when no demand exists. Parked cars shall have their doors closed and be
available to respond to calls. As traffic develops during an intermittent period,
elevators shall operate and be dispatched on demand. Only one car shall respond
to any particular call. During light traffic, it shall not be necessary for cars to travel
to terminals for spacing or dispatching.
g. Auxiliary Dispatching: A backup dispatch system shall be provided should the car
selection or dispatching system fail. The cars shall leave the dispatching terminals
without regard to sequence or regular intervals and proceed to answer registered
calls in normal sequence and manner (not if firefighter=s return features have been
activated).
4 Other Items:
a. Anti‑Nuisance Feature‑Passenger Elevators: In the event car loading or operation
is not commensurate with the number of car calls registered (when the elevator is in
automatic operation), all maliciously registered car calls for that elevator or deck
shall be automatically canceled.
b. Load Weighing‑Passenger Elevators: Provide under platform mounted micro
switches or strain gages or crosshead‑mounted strain gages for weighing the
passenger load in each elevator when they are in automatic operation. Design the
control system to provide dispatching in advance of normal intervals and to provide
landing call bypass when the car is filled to approximately 80% of full‑capacity load.
