3、l fly ash and raw orcalcined natural pozzolan for use in concrete where cementi-tious or pozzolanic action, or both, is desired, or where otherproperties normally attributed to fly ash or pozzolans may bedesired, or where both objectives are to be achieved.NOTE 1Finely divided materials may tend to

4、reduce the entrained aircontent of concrete. Hence, if a fly ash or natural pozzolan is added to anyconcrete for which entrainment of air is specified, provision should bemade to ensure that the specified air content is maintained by air contenttests and by use of additional air-entraining admixture

5、 or use of anair-entraining admixture in combination with air-entraining hydrauliccement.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.3 The text of this standard references notes and footnotes,which provide explanatory

17、World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.1NOTE 3The chemical component determinations and the limits placedon each do not predict the performance of the fly ash or natural pozzolanwith hydraulic cement in concrete, but collectively help describe compo-sition and uniformit

Supplementaryoptional physical requirements are shown in Table 3.8. Methods of Sampling and Testing8.1 Sample and test the fly ash or natural pozzolan inaccordan

Rejectionshall be reported to the producer or supplier promptly and inwriting.10.2 The purchaser has the right to reject packages varyingmore than 5 % from the stated weight. The purchaser also hasthe right to reject the entire shipment if the

22、average weight ofthe packages in any shipment, as shown by weighing 50packages taken at random, is less than that specified.10.3 The purchaser has the right to require that material instorage prior to shipment for a period longer than 6 monthsafter testing be retested. The purchaser has the right to

28、a measure of the compressive strength of concrete containing the fly ash or natural pozzolan.The mass of fly ash or natural pozzolan specified for the test to determine the strength activity index with portland cement is not considered to be the proportionrecommended for the concrete to be used in t

29、he work. The optimum amount of fly ash or natural pozzolan for any specific project is determined by the required propertiesof the concrete and other constituents of the concrete and is to be established by testing. Strength activity index with portland cement is a measure of reactivity with a given

30、cement and is subject to variation depending on the source of both the fly ash or natural pozzolan and the cement.BMeeting the 7 day or 28 day strength activity index will indicate specification compliance.CIf the fly ash or natural pozzolan will constitute more than 20 % by mass of the cementitious

31、 material in the project mixture, the test specimens for autoclave expansionshall contain that anticipated percentage. Excessive autoclave expansion is highly significant in cases where water to cementitious material ratios are low, for example,in block or shotcrete mixtures.C618 192weight of the ma

Suppliers Certification12.1 Upon request of the purchaser, in the contract or theorder, a suppliers report shall

33、 be furnished stating the resultsof tests made on samples of the material and certifying theproduct conforms to all applicable requirements of this speci-fication. In addition, the report shall include the percentages ofmagnesium oxide (MgO), sodium oxide (Na2O), potassiumoxide (K2O), and calcium ox

34、ide (CaO), all determined asdescribed in Test Methods C311/C311M. The report shall alsoinclude the total alkali content of the material, expressed asequivalent percentage of sodium oxide (Na2Oe).NOTE 4Guidance on preparing the suppliers report is provided inAppendix X1.13.

The quantity of fly ashor natural pozzolan required to mitigate alkali silica reaction,measured in terms of portland cement replacement, is depen-dent on the properties of the fly ash or pozzolan, reactivity ofthe aggregate and the alkali loading of the concrete.
