LOADING TESTS Sample Clauses

LOADING TESTS. If required by the Engineer-in-Charge, the Contractor shall carry out a loading test on the finished structure or any part thereof as directed. If the test shows that the work is in accordance with this specification, the contractor will be reimbursed for the cost thereof but if any work is found to be not in accordance with this specification, it shall, at the discretion of the Engineer-in-Charge, be cut and replaced at the contractor's expense, and the contractor shall also bear the cost of the test. Load tests should be carried out as soon as possible after expiry of 28 days from the time of placing of concrete, The structure should be subjected to a load equal to full dead load of the structure plus 1.25 times the imposed load for a period of 24 hours and then the imposed load shall be removed. Note: Dead loads include self-weight of the structural members plus weight of finishes and walls or partitions, if any, as considered in the design, The deflection due to imposed load shall be recorded. If within 24 hours of removal of the imposed load the structure does not recover at least 75 percent of the deflection under superimposed load, the test may be repeated after a lapse of 72 hours. If the recovery is less than 80 percent, the structure shall be deemed to be unacceptable. If the maximum deflection in mm, shown during 24 hours under load is less than 40 %, where L is effective span in meters and D, the overall depth of the section in mm, it is not necessary for the recovery to be measured and the recovery provision given above not apply. Other Non-Destructive Test methods may be adopted in which case the acceptance criteria shall be agreed upon by the Engineer-in-Charge and the tests shall be done under expert guidance.
