17、, construction, and analysis.5. Masonry Prism Construction5.1 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
18、the unitat the base of the flute or rib. When prisms are used for fieldquality control or assurance, record the location in the structurethat corresponds to the set of prisms constructed.NOTE 2Building codes or project specifications may require a set ofprisms for a given square footage of construct
19、ion. Recording the locationof the structure that corresponds to a set of prisms allows the test resultsto be attributed to a particular portion of the structure.5.2 Construct a set of prisms for each combination ofmaterials and each test age at which the compressive strengthof masonry is to be deter
20、mined.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 locationwhere they will remain undisturbed until transported fortesting.5.4 Construct prisms as shown in Fig. 1 with units lai
21、d 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 of moisture. Wherethe corresponding construction is of multi-wythe masonryhaving wythes composed of different units or mort
22、ar, 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 units prior to prismconstruction. The moisture content(s) of units used to constructprisms shall be representative of tho
23、se 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 composed of units without closed cellsshall have as symmetrical a cross section as possible. Theminimum length of prisms sha
24、ll be 4 in. (100 mm).NOTE 3When using larger masonry units, experience has shown thatreducing the length of these units prior to prism construction makes theirhandling and transportation easier. Thus, these reduced length unit prismsare less likely to be damaged and are more likely to be properly ca
25、ppedand tested. Also, the smaller prism will be less likely to be affected byplate bending effects during testing, as described in Note 9, and willtherefore provide a more accurate assessment of the strength of thematerials in the masonry prism. For these reasons, the use of reducedlength prisms is
26、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 construction. Use mortarjoint thickness and a method of positioning and aligning units,that are representative of the corresponding
27、 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 with aheight-to-thickness ratio, hp/tp, between 1.3 and 5.0.5.8 Immediately following the construction of the prism,seal t
28、he moisture-tight bag around the prism.5.9 Grouted Prisms.5.9.1 When prisms are fabricated for field quality control orassurance, build prisms at the same time as the correspondingconstruction, and grout prisms when the corresponding con-struction is being grouted. When prisms are used for otherFIG.
29、 1 Masonry Prism ConstructionFIG. 2 Reduction of Hollow Units Prior to Prism ConstructionC1314 112purposes, grout prisms not less than 4 h nor more than 48 hfollowing the construction of the prisms.NOTE 4Testing of prisms associated with masonry structures orstructural elements at a jobsite is often
30、 part of a projects field qualitycontrol or assurance program. Prisms may also be fabricated as compan-ion specimens for walls, structural elements such as columns, pilasters orbeams at a jobsite, portions of a structure built off-site in a factory or shop,or assemblies built in a laboratory.5.9.2 W
31、here the corresponding construction is to be solidlygrouted, solidly grout the prisms. Use grout representative ofthat used in the corresponding construction. Before placinggrout, remove mortar droppings from the grout space. Usegrout consolidation and reconsolidation procedures represen-tative of t
32、hose used in the construction. Place additional groutinto the prisms as necessary after each consolidation. Screedoff excess and finish the grout so that it is level with the top ofthe prism and in contact with the units at the perimeter of thegrout space. Grouted prisms shall contain no reinforceme
33、nt.5.9.3 Where the corresponding construction is to be par-tially grouted, construct two sets of prisms; grout one set solidas described in 5.9.2 and leave the other set ungrouted.5.9.4 Where open-end units or prisms containing groutbetween similar wythes are to be grouted, use similar masonryunits
34、as forms to confine the grout during placement. Braceforms to prevent displacement during grouting. Grout asdescribed in 5.9.2.5.9.5 Immediately following the grouting operation, resealthe moisture-tight bag around the prism.5.10 Keep all prisms from freezing. Do not disturb or moveprisms for the fi
35、rst 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 experienced during the initial 48-h period.6. Obtaining and Transporting Maso
36、nry Prisms6.1 For field-removed masonry specimens, select and re-move specimens in accordance with Practice C1532.6.2 Prior to transporting constructed prisms and field-removed masonry specimens, strap or clamp each prism orspecimen to prevent damage during handling and transporta-tion. Secure prism
37、s and specimens to prevent jarring, bounc-ing, or tipping over during transporting.6.3 Transport prisms and masonry specimens in accordancewith Practice C1532.6.4 For field-removed masonry specimens, after the speci-mens have been transported to the laboratory, obtain prismsfrom the masonry specimen
38、s using procedures outlined inPractice C1587.7. 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 themoisture-tight bags and continue storing at a temperature of 756 15F (
39、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 to testing.7.3 Prisms shall not be oven-dried or otherwise exposed to
40、temperatures 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 conditions of the prisms at the time oftesting.7.5 Test prisms at an ag
41、e 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 Determination of Net Area8.1 Measuring PrismsAs shown in Fig. 3, measure
42、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 center of each face to thenearest 0.05 in. (1 mm). Determine the height
43、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 5Prisms obtained from field-removed masonry specimens willhave many different sizes, shapes, and con
44、figurations. 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 remove the specimens fromwall assemblies. These variations may create non-u
45、niform 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 report.8.2 Net Cross-Sectional Area:8.2.1 Constructed PrismsTake the net c
46、ross-sectional areaof ungrouted prisms as the net cross-sectional area of masonryunits, determined by measurement or from a representativeFIG. 3 Prism Measurement LocationC1314 113sample of units tested in accordance with Test Methods C140for concrete masonry and with Test Methods C67 for claymasonr
47、y. 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 6Net area determined by Test Methods C140 for
48、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 100 % solid.8.2.2 Prisms Obtain
49、ed 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 height of the specimen, or if mortared surfacesare not fully bedded, use professional judgment to determinethe minimum bearing area that exists for the prism at whateverlocation that occurs.NOTE 7While constructed prisms are required to be fully-bedded withmortar, prisms obtained from field-r
