16、aspecified compressive strength of masonry.NOTE 1The testing laboratory performing this test method should beevaluated in accordance with Practice C 1093.4.3.1 Appendix X2 includes guidance information for theresearcher on aspects of materials, construction, and analysis.5. Masonry Prism Constructio

17、n5.1 Construct prisms of units representative of those used inthe construction. If units have flutes or ribs that project12 in.(12.5 mm) or more from the surface of the unit, remove thoseflutes or ribs by saw cutting flush with the surface of the unitat the base of the flute or rib.5.2 Construct a s

18、et of prisms for each combination ofmaterials and each test age at which the compressive strengthof masonry is to be determined.5.3 Build each prism in an opened, moisture-tight bag largeenough to enclose and seal the completed prism. Constructprisms on a flat, level base. Construct prisms in a loca

19、tionwhere they will remain undisturbed until transported fortesting.5.4 Construct prisms as shown in Fig. 1 with units laid instack bond in stretcher position. Orient units in the prism as inthe corresponding construction. At the time of prism construc-tion, the surfaces of the units shall be free o

20、f moisture. Wherethe corresponding construction is of multi-wythe masonryhaving wythes composed of different units or mortar, buildprisms representative of each different wythe and test sepa-rately.5.5 Build prisms with full-size or reduced length units. Anyrequired saw cutting shall be performed on

21、 units prior to prismconstruction. The moisture content(s) of units used to constructprisms shall be representative of those used in construction.Prisms composed of units that contain closed cells shall have atleast one complete cell with one full-width cross web on eitherend (see Fig. 2). Prisms co

22、mposed of units without closed cellsshall have as symmetrical a cross section as possible. Theminimum length of prisms shall be 4 in. (100 mm).NOTE 2When using larger masonry units, experience has shown thatreducing the length of these units prior to prism construction makes theirhandling and transp

23、ortation easier. Thus, these reduced length unit prismsare less likely to be damaged and are more likely to be properly cappedand tested. Also, the smaller prism will be less likely to be affected byplate bending effects during testing, as described in Note 7, and willtherefore provide a more accura

24、te assessment of the strength of thematerials in the masonry prism. For these reasons, the use of reducedlength prisms is encouraged.5.6 Build masonry prisms with full mortar beds (mortar allwebs and face shells of hollow units). Use mortar representa-tive of that used in the corresponding construct

25、ion. Use mortarjoint thickness and a method of positioning and aligning units,that are representative of the corresponding construction. Usemortar joints that are cut flush. For prisms to be grouted,remove mortar “fins” that protrude into the grout space.5.7 Build prisms a minimum of two units high

26、with aheight-to-thickness ratio, hp/tp, between 1.3 and 5.0.5.8 Immediately following the construction of the prism,seal the moisture-tight bag around the prism.5.9 Grouted Prisms.5.9.1 Where the corresponding construction is to be solidlygrouted, solidly grout the prisms not less than 24 h nor more

27、than 48 h following the construction of the prisms. Use groutrepresentative of that used in the corresponding construction.Before placing grout, remove mortar droppings from the groutspace. Use grout consolidation and reconsolidation proceduresrepresentative of those used in the construction. Place

28、addi-tional grout into the prisms as necessary after each consolida-tion. Screed off excess and finish the grout so that it is levelwith the top of the prism and in contact with the units at theperimeter of the grout space. Grouted prisms shall contain noreinforcement.FIG. 1 Masonry Prism Constructi

29、onFIG. 2 Reduction of Hollow Units Prior to Prism ConstructionC13140725.9.2 Where the corresponding construction is to be par-tially grouted, construct two sets of prisms; grout one set solidas described in 5.9.1 and leave the other set ungrouted.5.9.3 Where open-end units or prisms containing grout

30、between similar wythes are to be grouted, use similar masonryunits as forms to confine the grout during placement. Braceforms to prevent displacement during grouting. Grout asdescribed in 5.9.1.5.9.4 Immediately following the grouting operation, resealthe moisture-tight bag around the prism.5.10 Kee

31、p all prisms from freezing. Do not disturb or moveprisms for the first 48 h after construction and grouting. Keepprisms in the moisture-tight bags until 48 h prior to testing.5.11 Store an indicating maximum-minimum thermometerwith the sample and record the maximum and minimumtemperatures experience

32、d during the initial 48-h period.6. Obtaining and Transporting Masonry Prisms6.1 For field-removed masonry specimens, select and re-move specimens in accordance with Practice C 1532.6.2 Prior to transporting constructed prisms and field-removed masonry specimens, strap or clamp each prism orspecimen

33、 to prevent damage during handling and transporta-tion. Secure prisms and specimens to prevent jarring, bounc-ing, or tipping over during transporting.6.3 Transport prisms and masonry specimens in accordancewith Practice C 1532.6.4 For field-removed masonry specimens, after the speci-mens have been

34、transported to the laboratory, obtain prismsfrom the masonry specimens using procedures outlined inPractice C 1587.7. Curing7.1 After the initial 48 h of curing for constructed prisms,maintain the bagged prisms in an area with a temperature of 756 15F (24 6 8C). Two days prior to testing, remove the

35、moisture-tight bags and continue storing at a temperature of 756 15F (24 6 8C) and a relative humidity less than 80 %.7.2 For prisms obtained from field-removed masonry, storewithin the laboratory at a temperature of 75 6 15F (24 6 8C)and a relative humidity less than 80 % for at least two daysprior

36、 to testing.7.3 Prisms shall not be oven-dried or otherwise exposed totemperatures exceeding storage temperature requirements atany time prior to testing.7.4 Visible moisture shall not be present on the surface ofthe prisms at the time of testing. Extend storage time as neededto ensure dry surface c

37、onditions of the prisms at the time oftesting.7.5 Test prisms at an age of 28 days or at the designated testages. Test a set of prisms at each age. Prism age shall bedetermined from the time of laying units for ungrouted prisms,and from the time of grouting for grouted prisms.8. Measurements and Det

38、ermination of Net Area8.1 Measuring PrismsAs shown in Fig. 3, measure thelength and width at the edges of the top and bottom faces of theprisms to the nearest 0.05 in. (1 mm). Determine the length andwidth by averaging the four measurements of each dimension.Measure the height of the prism at the ce

39、nter of each face to thenearest 0.05 in. (1 mm). Determine the height by averaging thefour measurements.8.1.1 For prisms obtained from field-removed masonryspecimens, perform additional measurements as needed todocument the condition and dimensions of the specimen.NOTE 3Prisms obtained from field-re

40、moved masonry specimens willhave many different sizes, shapes, and configurations. These variations area result of differing bonding arrangements, mortaring or joining practices,presence of reinforcement and other accessories in conjunction with themasonry in service, and of techniques used to remov

41、e the specimens fromwall assemblies. These variations may create non-uniform prism dimen-sions along its length or in its cross-section. As such, additional measure-ments are often required to adequately document the condition of theprism and to communicate that condition to readers of the test repo

42、rt.8.2 Net Cross-Sectional Area:8.2.1 Constructed PrismsTake the net cross-sectional areaof ungrouted prisms as the net cross-sectional area of masonryunits, determined by measurement or from a representativesample of units tested in accordance with Test Methods C 140for concrete masonry and with Te

43、st Methods C67 for claymasonry. If cut units are used for prism construction, determinethe net cross-sectional area from additional units cut in asimilar manner. Determine net cross-sectional area of fullygrouted prisms by multiplying the length and width of theprism (see 8.1).NOTE 4Net area determi

44、ned by Test Methods C 140 for hollowconcrete units is usually slightly different from the minimum net cross-sectional area because unit face shells and webs are typically tapered.8.2.1.1 Consider clay masonry units whose net cross-sectional area is at least 75 % of the gross cross-sectional areaas 1

45、00 % solid.8.2.2 Prisms Obtained from Field-Removed MasonrySpecimensUse methods identified above to determine netarea if appropriate. Net area for prisms obtained from field-removed masonry specimens is considered to be minimumbearing area. If prisms are not of uniform length or widththroughout the

46、height of the specimen, or if mortared surfacesFIG. 3 Prism Measurement LocationC1314073are not fully bedded, use professional judgment to determinethe minimum bearing area that exists for the prism at whateverlocation that occurs.NOTE 5While constructed prisms are required to be fully-bedded withmo

47、rtar, prisms obtained from field-removed masonry specimens, particu-larly for hollow masonry, will often have only the face shells of the hollowunits mortared. For such prisms, if any mortar on the top and bottombearing surfaces of the prisms are removed to result in full bearing acrossthe unit cros

48、s-section, the minimum cross-section will typically occur atan intermediate mortar bed joint. For face shell bedded sections, multi-plying the measured length of the prism at the bed joint location by thesum of the face shell thicknesses can be an effective method fordetermining minimum net bearing

49、area. Because the face shells of hollowunits are often tapered, the thickness of the face shell above the mortar bedjoint and below the mortar bed joint may differ. In such a case, use theleast face shell thickness of the two in the calculation. Obtaining access tomeasure face shell thickness is often difficult or impossible. Measure-ments of similar cross-sections from representative units or other parts ofthe prism is an option as is performing measurements after testing isperformed.
