Significance and Use4.1 These test methods are used to develop data for comparison with the requirements of Specification C618 or SpecificationC1697. These test methods are based on standardized test
24、ing in the laboratory and are not intended to simulate job conditions.4.1.1 Strength Activity IndexThe test for strength activity index is used to determine whether fly ash or natural pozzolanresults in an acceptable level of strength development when used with hydraulic cement in concrete. Since th
25、e test is performedwith mortar, the results may not provide a direct correlation of how the fly ash or natural pozzolan will contribute to strength inconcrete.4.1.2 Chemical Tests The chemical component determinations and the limits placed on each do not predict the performanceof a fly ash or natura

Box 9094, Farmington Hills, MI 48333-9094, http:/www.aci-int.org.C311 11b25. Materials5.1 Graded Standard SandThe sand used f
27、or making test specimens for the activity index with lime or portland cement shallbe natural silica sand conforming to the requirements for graded standard sand in Specification C778.NOTE 1Segregation of Graded SandThe graded standard sand should be handled in such a manner as to prevent segregation
28、, since variations inthe grading of the sand cause variations in the consistency of the mortar. In emptying bins or sacks, care should be exercised to prevent the formationof mounds of sand or craters in the sand, down the slopes of which the coarser particles will roll. Bins should be of sufficient
29、 size to permit theseprecautions. Devices for drawing the sand from bins by gravity should not be used.5.2 Hydrated Lime The hydrated lime used in the tests shall be reagent-grade calcium hydroxide, 95 % minimum calculatedas Ca(OH)2(Note 2), and have a minimum fineness of 2500 m2/kg as determined in
30、 accordance with Test Method C204.NOTE 2The calcium hydroxide should be protected from exposure to carbon dioxide. Material remaining in an opened container after a test shouldnot be used for subsequent tests.5.3 Portland Cement The portland cement used in the Strength Activity Index with Portland C
31、ement test shall comply withthe requirements of Specification C150 and have a minimum compressive strength of 35 MPa (5000 psi) at 28 days and totalalkalies (Na2O + 0.658 K2O) not less than 0.50 % nor more than 0.80 %.5.3.1 The use of a locally available portland cement in the Strength Activity Inde
32、x or a project cement that does not meet therequirements of the section on Materials is permitted when the variations from the requirements of the section on Materials arereported and when the use of such portland cement is requested.6. Sample Type and Size6.1 Grab samples and regular samples shall
33、have a mass of at least 2 kg (4 lb).6.2 Grab samples or regular samples taken at prescribed intervals over a period of time (see Table 1), may be combined to forma composite sample representative of the fly ash or natural pozzolan produced during that period of time.6.3 Composite samples shall have
34、a mass of at least 4 kg (8 lb).6.4 The sampling shall be done by, or under the direction of, a responsible representative of the purchaser.7. Sampling Procedure7.1 The fly ash or natural pozzolan may be sampled by any one of the following methods:7.1.1 From Bulk Storage at Point of Discharge or from
35、 Rail Cars and Road TankersA sample may be taken by siphon tubeduring loading or by sampling tube from each loaded car or tanker. If the load is sampled at the point of discharge into the railcar or tanker, the top surface shall be removed to a depth of at least 200 mm (8 in.) before sampling. The s
36、ample shall be identifiedwith at least the date and shipment number.7.1.2 From Bags in StorageThe regular sample shall comprise increments of equal size taken by sampling tube from threebags selected at random from one lot of bagged material. The sample shall be identified with date and lot number.7
37、.1.3 From Conveyor Delivering to Bulk StorageTake one sample of 2 kg (4 lb) or more of the material passing over theconveyor. This may be secured by taking the entire test sample in a single operation, known as the grab sample method, or bycombining several equal portions taken at regular intervals,
38、 known as the regular sample method.Automatic samplers may be usedto obtain samples.7.2 Samples shall be treated as described in Section 8.NOTE 3Some methods of loading or delivery of fly ash or natural pozzolan, particularly from an airstream or conveyor belt, may create stratificationor segregatio
39、n in the material stream. Sampling techniques must be designed to ensure that the sample is representative of the material shipped.8. Preparation and Storage of Samples8.1 Prepare composite samples for the tests required in Section 9, by arranging all grab or regular samples into groups coveringthe
40、period or quantity to be represented by the sample. Take equal portions from each, sufficient to produce a composite samplelarge enough for the tests required. Mix the composite sample thoroughly.TABLE 1 Minimum Sampling and Testing FrequencyATest Sample TypeJobsite or NewSourceBEstablishedSourceBMo
