This practice is used instead of roddingor internal vibration, which cannot properly consolidate con-crete of this consistency (Note 1).NOTE

23、 The total mass of the vibrator and table shallbe approximately 210 lb (95 kg). The table shall be level andclamped to a concrete floor or base slab that has sufficient massto prevent displacement of the apparatus during specimenpreparation (Note 2).NOTE 2The recommended vibrating table for these pr
24、ocedures is theVebe vibrating table. Testing to date has been performed using thisapparatus. An alternative vibrating table may be substituted for the Vebeapparatus provided it meets the specifications for the sinusoidal vibrationgiven in 7.1.5.3 Swivel Arm and Guide SleeveA metal guide sleevewith a
25、 clamp assembly or other suitable holding devicemounted on a swivel arm. The swivel arm and guide sleevemust be capable of holding a metal shaft attached to a 20-lb(9.1-kg) cylindrical mass in a position perpendicular to thevibrating surface and allowing the shaft to slide freely when theclamp is re
26、leased. The swivel arm must be capable of main-taining the guide sleeve in a locked position directly over thecenter of the specimens to be vibrated. The swivel arm shallalso be capable of being rotated away from the center of thetable (Note 3).NOTE 3The Vebe vibrating table comes equipped with the
27、swivel armand guide sleeve.5.4 SurchargeA cylindrical steel mass with a metal shaftat least 18 in. (457 mm) in length and58 6116 in.

Sampling6.1 Samples of fresh concrete sha
30、ll be obtained in accor-dance with Practice C 172.6.2 Concrete samples shall have a nominal maximum sizeaggregate of 50 mm (2 in.) or less. If the concrete has aggregatelarger than 50 mm (2 in.), samples shall be obtained by wetsieving over a 50-mm (2-in.) sieve in accordance with PracticeC 172.6.3
31、Concrete test specimens shall be made within 45 minafter the completion of mixing concrete unless otherwisestipulated.FIG. 1 Vibrating TableCylinder Preparation (Type B Mold)C11760527. Calibration and Standardization7.1 The vibrating table shall produce a sinusoidal vibratorymotion with a frequency
32、of at least 3600 6 100 vibrations permin (60 6 1.67 Hz) and a double amplitude of vibration of0.0170 6 0.0030 in. (0.43 6 0.08 mm) when a 60.0- 6 2.5-lb(27.2- 6 1.1-kg) surcharge is rigidly bolted to the center of thetable.7.1.1 Determine the frequency and double amplitude4of thevibrating table unde
33、r simulated test conditions prior to initialuse and annually thereafter.Avibrating reed tachometer shouldbe used to check 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. Tec
34、hnical Precautions8.1 When obtaining samples, ensure that the samples arerepresentative of the material being sampled.8.2 Concrete with stiff to extremely dry consistency ishighly susceptible to segregation during handling. To minimizesegregation, use care in obtaining samples and during trans-porti
35、ng, remixing, and testing of the concrete.8.3 After at least every three months of continued use,inspect and clean the 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 T
36、ype A molds with a suitable lubricant or bondbreaker prior to casting the test specimens to facilitate removalfrom the 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
37、 to checkfor proper clearance.Attach the mold to the vibrating table, andfirmly tighten the wing nuts. Move the surcharge 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 consolidationapproximately 9.5 lb (4.3 kg). A tamping ro
38、d may be used todistribute the loose concrete as it is added. During filling, usesquare-ended shovels and scoops to obtain 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 cent
39、er of the mold,release the guide sleeve clamp, and place the surcharge gentlyon the loose concrete. The surcharge shall 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 thesu
40、rcharge directly onto the specimen in the mold without use ofthe guide sleeve, and hold the surcharge shaft perpendicular 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-cha
41、rge.9.1.6 Start the vibrator table, and allow the concrete toconsolidate under the surcharge. Using a flashlight, observe 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
42、outer edge ofthe surcharge and the inside mold wall. Observe the mortaruntil it forms a ring around the total perimeter 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 cont
43、inue vibrating toensure complete consolidation of the specimen.9.1.7 If a rock pocket prevents the mortar ring from formingat 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 ri
44、ng doesnot form, this indicates the concrete may have insufficientmortar due to either improper sampling, segregation, 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
45、 reject thespecimen.9.1.8 Repeat the procedure in 9.1.3 through 9.1.7 for thesecond lift of concrete, filling the mold 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 an
46、d consolidate. If thesurcharge consolidates concrete below the top level of themold, turn off the vibrating table. Place additional concrete inthe mold so that, when consolidated, the concrete will beabout18 in. (3 mm) above the top of the mold. Continuevibrating, and slide the surcharge back and fo
47、rth across the topof the mold until the compacted concrete is level with the topof the mold. This replaces strikeoff with a float since stiffconcrete cannot be easily floated. Do not allow the surcharge toremain in one position when the concrete is being finishedbecause this can cause aggregates to
48、be forced down andmortar to be forced out of the mold resulting in a nonrepre-sentative test specimen. After the surface has been screededwith the surcharge, vibrate the specimen for 4 6 1 s withoutthe surcharge to fill in minor surface tears unless damage to thespecimen by large-amplitude oscillati
49、ons of the vibrator isanticipated.9.1.8.1 When making test specimens using an alternativevibrating table, it may not be possible to vibrate the specimenwithout a surcharge. This is due to the disturbance of thecompacted specimen when large-amplitude, low-frequencyoscillations occur after the vibrator has been turned off. If thisoccurs, keep the surcharge in place until the vibrating table hascompletely stopped.9.1.9 Remove the mold with the consolidated specimenfrom the vibrating table, and finish the top surface of thespecimen with a steel trowel or wooden
