Significance and Use4.1 This guide provides information that, if implemented,will reduce efflorescence potential in new unit pavementsy

10、stems. However, its implementation will not always com-pletely prevent efflorescence.4.2 This guide may be augmented by related informationcontained in the appendixes of Specification C270, the addi-tional material listed in Appendix X1 in this standard, andother publications.5. Principles of Efflor

11、escence5.1 Efflorescence is directly related to the quantity ofwater-soluble compounds within, or exposed to, a unit pave-ment system; and to the quantity of water exposed to thesecompounds. Water-soluble compounds or water causing efflo-rescence may be from adjacent surfaces or beneath the pave-men

12、t system: for example, fertilizer in runoff from adjacentflower beds or lawns; ground water evaporating through thewearing course. Since neither water nor water-soluble com-pounds can be completely eliminated from unit pavementsystems, the potential for efflorescence is reduced by reducingwater-solu

13、ble compounds and water retained within the unitpavement system.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee C15 onManufactured Masonry Units and is the direct responsibility of SubcommitteeC15.05 on Masonry Assemblies.Current edition approved March 1, 2014.

United States15.2 Water can penetrate through joints in the surface of unitpavement systems. It can penetrate voids in the mortar joints orthe interface between the paver unit and

15、jointing material.5.3 If a significant amount of water penetrates a unitpavement system, the water will dissolve water-soluble com-pounds that may exist in the paver units, mortar components,grout, setting bed, concrete slab, admixtures or other secondarysources, and may deposit them on the exterior

16、 surface of theunit pavement system when it migrates to the surface andthrough evaporation. The presence of a concrete slab belowsand setting beds in unit pavement system allows water toremain on top of the slab where it can more readily dissolvewater-soluble compounds in the concrete.5.4 The most c

17、ommon efflorescence deposits contain two ormore of the following: potassium, sodium, calcium, sulfates,carbonates, bicarbonates, chlorides, and hydroxides.5.5 Some water-soluble compounds deposited on the sur-face of unit pavement systems can chemically react to formcompounds that are not water-solu

18、ble. Calcium carbonate(CaCO3) deposits on unit pavement system are a fairly com-mon example. They are a result of reaction between theefflorescence compound calcium hydroxide and carbon dioxideafter the calcium hydroxide is deposited on the surface of thepavement and is exposed to the air.5.6 Under

19、some circumstances, particularly when exteriorcoatings are present, efflorescence compounds can be depos-ited below the surface of the paver units. This condition iscalled cryptoflorescence. When cryptoflorescence occurs, theforces resulting from its confinement can cause disintegrationof pavement s

Reduction of Efflorescence Potential in NewPavements6.1 Efflorescence on new unit pavement systems is reducedwhen water penetration of the pavement is minimized; whenwater that penetrates pavement is quickly drained from thepavement; when contact between dissimilar paver units isminimized

21、; when potential efflorescence compounds in thepavement system materials are minimized; and when exposureof the pavement to potential efflorescence causing compoundsis minimized.6.2 The amount of water from precipitation and othersources that is able to penetrate a unit pavement system isminimized b

This condition is achieved byusing mortar that is compatible with the paver units; com-pletely filled mortar joints; compacted concave, V, or grapevinemo

23、rtar joints; cold weather construction practices that preventmasonry materials from freezing.6.2.3 Construction practices that protect uncompleted unitpavement systems from rain or snow during construction.6.2.4 Properly sized and located movement joints in thepavement.6.2.5 Overhangs and canopies t

26、een changes in pavermaterials in unit pavement systems.6.5 Potential efflorescence compounds in the pavementsystem materials can be minimized by:6.5.1 Preconstruction testing of all unit pavement systemmaterials, water, cleaning agents, deicing chemicals, and ad-mixtures to be used to evaluate their

27、 potential to contribute toefflorescence. The results of these tests should be evaluatedtogether with the influence of construction practices and designin predicting efflorescence potential in pavements. Availablepreconstruction tests include: Test Method C67 efflorescencetest for brick; chemical an

28、alysis of cements to determine watersoluble alkali (Na2OK2O) content; chemical analysis ofhydrated lime to determine calcium sulfate content; andchemical analysis of sand, water, admixtures and cleaningagents to determine alkali, chloride, and sulfate content.Presently, there is no ASTM efflorescenc

29、e test for concretepaver units or mortar. The potential for efflorescence increaseswith increasing amounts of water-soluble alkali, chlorides, andsulfates in segmental and masonry pavement materials.6.5.2 Storage and protection of all unit pavement systemmaterials prior to use to prevent contact wit
