United States13.2.4 passing ability, nthe ability of self-consolidating concrete to
16、flow under its own weight (without vibration) and fillcompletely all spaces within intricate formwork, containing obstacles, such as reinforcement.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 A sample of freshly mixed concrete is placed in a mold, either in the upright or inverted position, that is concentric witht
17、he J-Ring (Fig. 2). The concrete is placed in one lift without tamping or vibration. The mold is raised, and the concrete is allowedto spread through the J-Ring (Fig. 3). After spreading ceases, two diameters of the concrete mass are measured in approximatelyorthogonal directions. J-Ring flow is the
18、 average of the two diameters. The test is repeated without the J-Ring to obtain the slumpflow. The difference between the slump flow and J-Ring flow is an indicator of the passing ability of the concrete.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method provides a procedure to determine the passing abili
19、ty of self-consolidating concrete. This test method isapplicable for laboratory use in comparing the passing ability of different concrete mixtures. It is also applicable in the field as aquality control test.5.2 The difference between the slump flow and J-Ring flow is an indication of the passing a
20、bility of the concrete. A differenceless than 25 mm 1 in. indicates good passing ability and a difference greater than 50 mm 2 in. indicates poor passing ability.The orientation of the mold for the J-Ring test and for the slump flow test without the J-Ring shall be the same.5.3 This test method is l
21、imited to self-consolidating concrete with nominal maximum size of aggregate of up to 25 mm 1 in.FIG. 1 J-Ring ApparatusC1621/C1621M 1726. Apparatus6.1 J-RingThe apparatus shall consist of a steel (or equivalent nonabsorbent, rigid material) ring measuring 300 mm 300 mm12 in. in diameter at the cent
22、er of the ring and 25 mm 1 in. 25 mm 1 in. in thickness, and sixteen 16 mm 58 in. diametersmooth steel rods spaced evenly around the ring measuring 100 mm 4 in. 4 in. in length (see Fig. 1).6.2 MoldThe mold used in this test method shall conform to that described in Test Method C143/C143M, except th

24、tic, or steel are suitable for performing thistest.6.4 Strike-off BarAs described in Test Method C173/C173M.6.5 Measuring DeviceA ruler, metal roll-up measuring tape, or similar rigid or semi-rigid measuring instrument marked inincrements of 5 mm 14 in. or less.6.6 Sample ReceptacleApan or wheelbarr
25、ow that is water-tight, has a nonabsorbent surface, and is large enough to allow bothremixing of the entire sample and retain a volume of concrete sufficient to fill the mold.6.7 Pouring Vessel for SCCA water-tight container having a volume such that concrete is not spilled during placement in themo
26、ld.NOTE 2A pouring vessel with a pouring lip is useful in reducing the probability of concrete spilling while filling the mold.6.7 Other ToolsItems such as shovels and scoops capable of remixing the concrete in the sample receptacle, filling the pouringvessel, or both.FIG. 2 J-Ring Setup with Invert
27、ed Mold Filled with ConcreteFIG. 3 J-Ring FlowC1621/C1621M 1737. Sample7.1 Obtain a sample of freshly-mixed self-consolidating concrete in accordance with Practice C172 and place it in the samplereceptacle.8. Procedure8.1 Perform this test on a flat, level, nonabsorbent work surface such as a concre
28、te floor or base plate. Use a base plate inconditions where a flat, level surface is not available, such as on a construction site. When the base plate is used, position and shimthe base plate so that it is fully supported. Dampen the work surface, removing any standing water. Do not subject the wor
29、k surfaceor mold to vibration or disturbance.8.1.1 When performing the slump flow test for a given study or project, do not change the base plate type for the duration ofthe study or project.8.1.2 Place the J-Ring on the work surface or at the center of the base plate.8.2 Remixing of Sample. Remix t
30、he sample, obtained in accordance with 7.1, in the sample receptacle using a shovel or scoopso that the concrete is homogeneous.8.3 Filling the MoldFill the mold by following either Procedure A or Procedure B.8.3.1 Filling Procedure A (Upright Mold)Dampen the interior of the mold and place it on the
31、 work surface or base plate withthe larger opening facing down and concentric with the J-Ring. Hold the mold firmly in place during filling.8.3.2 Filling Procedure B (Inverted Mold)Dampen the interior of the mold and place it on the work surface or base plate withthe smaller opening facing down and
32、concentric with the J-Ring (see Note 32).NOTE 2As a precaution, when filling the mold in the inverted position, the mold may be supported to prevent accidental movement or tipping.Experienced users of this test method have found that it is not necessary to support the mold.8.3.3 Fill Pouring VesselI
33、mmediately fill the pouring vessel with a portion of SCC from the sample receptacle, eitherFill themold with SCC in accordance with the procedure in Practice C1758/C1758Mby passing the pouring vessel through the concreteor by scooping concrete into the vessel. .8.3.4 Filling ProcedureImmediately fil
34、l the mold with SCC by tilting the pouring vessel. Position the lowest point on the rimof the pouring vessel no more than 125 mm 5 in. above the top of the mold. Ensure an even distribution of concrete, withoutrodding the concrete or tapping the sides of the mold, while filling the mold.8.3.5 If nec
35、essary, repeat the procedures in 8.3.3 and 8.3.4 until the mold is filled slightly above its rim.8.4 Strike off the surface of the concrete level with the top of the mold by a sawing motion of the strike-off bar. Remove concretefrom the area surrounding the base of the mold to preclude interference
36、with the movement of the flowing concrete. Remove themold from the concrete by raising it vertically. Raise the mold a distance of 225 6 75 mm 9 6 3 in. 3 in. in 3 6 1 s by a steadyupward lift with no lateral or torsional motion. Complete the entire test from the start of filling through removal of
37、the mold withoutinterruption within an elapsed time of 2 12 min.8.5 Wait for the concrete to stop flowing and then measure the largest diameter (j1) of the resulting circular spread of concrete.When a halo is observed in the resulting circular spread of concrete, it shall be included as part of the
38、diameter of the concrete.Measure a second diameter (j2) of the circular spread at an angle approximately perpendicular to the first measured diameter (j1).Measure the diameters to the nearest 5 mm 5 mm 14 in. Determine the J-Ring flow in accordance with Section 9.8.6 If the measurement of the two di
39、ameters differs by more than 50 mm 2 in., the test is invalid and shall be repeated.8.7 Conduct a slump flow test without the J-Ring in accordance with Test Method C1611/C1611M. Use the same fillingprocedure as used with the J-Ring. Complete the tests with and without the J-Ring within 6 min.9. Calc

44、est method has not been carried out. In a study involving two operators whoperformed three replicate tests on 30 batches of the same concrete mixture during normal production at a precast plant, thewithin-test standard deviation (repeatability) for passing ability was 5.8 mm 0.23 in. The average pas
45、sing ability in these testswas 20.5 mm 0.81 in. for slump-flow values ranging from about 480 to 740 mm 19 to 29 in. Measurements were done in theinch-pound system and the SI values are conversion of the inch-pound values.12.2 BiasThe procedure used in this test method has no bias since passing abili
