2、revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of lastreapproval. A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This practice covers procedures for making cylindricaltest specimens from concrete when the sta
3、ndard procedures ofrodding and internal vibration, as described in Practice C 31,are not practicable. This practice is applicable to freshly mixedconcrete, prepared in the laboratory and the field, having anominal maximum size aggregate of 50 mm 2 in. or less. Ifthe nominal maximum size aggregate is
4、 larger than 50 mm 2in., the practice is applicable only when performed on thefraction passing the 50-mm 2-in. sieve with the largeraggregate being removed in accordance with Practice C 172.This practice, intended for use in testing roller-compactedconcrete, may be applicable to testing other types
5、of concretesuch as cement-treated aggregate and mixtures similar tosoil-cement.1.2 Two methods are provided for making concrete cylin-ders using a vibrating table:1.2.1 Method A is a procedure for making test specimens insteel reusable molds attached to a vibrating table.1.2.2 Method B is a procedur
6、e for making test specimens insingle-use plastic molds that have been inserted into a metalsleeve attached to a vibrating table.1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents; therefo
7、re, eachsystem shall be used independently of the other. Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard
8、to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Significance and Use4.1 This practice is intended to be used for stiff to extremelydry concrete mixtures commonly used
12、in roller-compactedconcrete construction. This practice is used instead of roddingor internal vibration, which cannot properly consolidate con-crete of this consistency (Note 1).NOTE 1Further description of this concrete consistency is given in1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committ

Calibration and Standardization7.1 The vibrating table shall produce a sinusoidal vibratorymotion with a frequency of at least 60 6 2 Hz 3600 6 100vibrations per min and a double amplitude of vibration of0.45 6 0.1 mm 0.01

34、ck the frequency of vibration.7.2 Recalibrate the vibrating table after any event (includingrepairs) that might affect its operation, or whenever test resultsare questionable.8. Technical Precautions8.1 When obtaining samples, ensure that the samples arerepresentative of the material being sampled.8
35、.2 Concrete with stiff to extremely dry consistency ishighly susceptible to segregation during handling. To minimizesegregation, use care in obtaining samples and during trans-porting, remixing, and testing of the concrete.8.3 After at least every three months of continued use,inspect and clean the
36、underside of the vibrating table top of anyhardened concrete or cement paste which may interfere withfree movement of the table top.9. Procedure9.1 Method AType A Molds:9.1.1 Coat Type A molds with a suitable lubricant or bondbreaker prior to casting the test specimens to facilitate removalfrom the
37、mold.9.1.2 Place the mold on the vibrating table, and center thesurcharge so that the edges of the plastic plate do not touch thewalls of the mold. Lower the surcharge into the mold to checkfor proper clearance.Attach the mold to the vibrating table, andfirmly tighten the wing nuts. Move the surchar
38、ge away fromthe mold.9.1.3 Place enough concrete in the mold so that the moldwill be filled to one-third of its volume after consolidation(approximately 4.5 kg 9.5 lb). A tamping rod may be used todistribute the loose concrete as it is added. During filling, usesquare-ended shovels and scoops to obt
39、ain representativesamples, and handle the concrete in such a manner that largersized coarse aggregate particles do not separate from themortar.9.1.4 Move the surcharge over the center of the mold,release the guide sleeve clamp, and place the surcharge gentlyon the loose concrete. The surcharge shall
40、 be able to verticallyslide free without binding on the guide sleeve.9.1.5 If the surcharge cannot be centered in the moldwithout binding on the inside wall of the mold, place thesurcharge directly onto the specimen in the mold without use ofthe guide sleeve, and hold the surcharge shaft perpendicul
41、ar tothe top of the table. Hold the surcharge shaft manually whilevibrating the specimen. Do not apply any additional handpressure to the surcharge when manually holding the sur-charge.9.1.6 Start the vibrator table, and allow the concrete toconsolidate under the surcharge. Using a flashlight, obser
42、ve theconcrete in the annular space between the edge of the surchargeand the inside wall of the mold. As the concrete consolidates,mortar will fill in the annular space between the outer edge ofthe surcharge and the inside mold wall. Observe the mortaruntil it forms a ring around the total perimeter
43、 of the surcharge.When the mortar ring forms completely around the surcharge,stop the vibrator. If the wing nuts loosen while casting thespecimen, retighten the wing nuts, then continue vibrating toensure complete consolidation of the specimen.9.1.7 If a rock pocket prevents the mortar ring from for
44、mingat one small location, even though it has formed in all otherlocations, the vibrator can be stopped and another layer ofconcrete added. If a significant portion of the mortar ring doesnot form, this indicates the concrete may have insufficientmortar due to either improper sampling, segregation,
45、or im-proper mixture proportioning. In these instances, the concretespecimen should be visually inspected after stripping from themold, and a decision then made whether to accept or reject thespecimen.9.1.8 Repeat the procedure in 9.1.3 through 9.1.7 for thesecond lift of concrete, filling the mold
46、to approximatelytwo-thirds of its volume. For the third lift, overfill the mold bymounding the concrete above the top of the mold. Again, placethe surcharge on the loose concrete and consolidate. If thesurcharge consolidates concrete below the top level of themold, turn off the vibrating table. Plac
47、e additional concrete inthe mold so that, when consolidated, the concrete will be about3mm18 in. above the top of the mold. Continue vibrating,and slide the surcharge back and forth across the top of themold until the compacted concrete is level with the top of themold. This replaces strikeoff with
48、a float since stiff concretecannot be easily floated. Do not allow the surcharge to remainin one position when the concrete is being finished because thiscan cause aggregates to be forced down and mortar to be forcedout of the mold resulting in a nonrepresentative test specimen.After the surface has
49、 been screeded with the surcharge, vibratethe specimen for 4 6 1 s without the surcharge to fill in minorsurface tears unless damage to the specimen by large-amplitude oscillations of the vibrator is anticipated.4Kaufman, L.P., Strickland, E.A., and Benavidez, A.A. “Suggested Method forthe Calibration of Vibrating Tables for Maximum Index Density Testing,” Geotech-nical Testing Journal, GTJODJ, Vol 2, No. 3, September 1979, pp. 152157.C 1176/C 1176M 0839.1.8.1 When making test specimens us
