Description of Activities
4 In week 4 my focus was on the most used construction material i.e.
Water and cement.

Some of the key points regarding testing of Water were :

ª Water used for mixing and curing shall be clean and free from
injurious quantities of alkalies, acids, oils , salts, sugar, organic
materials, vegetable growth or other substance that may be
deleterious to bricks, stone, concrete or steel.
ª Most of the tests on water are performed as per IS 3025.
ª Potable water is generally considered satisfactory for mixing.
ª Water from each source shall be got tested before the commencement
of work and thereafter once in every three months till the
completion of the work. Water from municipal source need to be
tested only once in six months. Number of tests for each source shall
be three.
ª The physical and chemical properties of ground water shall be tested
along with soil investigation and if the water is not found conforming
to the requirements of IS 456 – 2000, the tender documents shall
clearly specify that the contractor has to arrange good quality water
for construction indicating the source.

Description of Activities
4 After water I moved to the testing of cement. For cement I did testing of
ª Fineness of cement
ª Consistency of cement
ª Setting time of cement
ª Soundness of cement
ª Compressive strength of cement
there are others as well but these five are most critical test for cement.
