Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope*1.1 This test method covers deter
3、mination of compressive strength of cylindrical concrete specimens such as molded cylindersand drilled cores. It is limited to concrete having a density in excess of 800 kg/m3 50 lb/ft3.1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The inch-p
4、ound units areshown in brackets. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be usedindependently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of t

It is the responsibilityof the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatorylimitations prior to use. (WarningMeans should be provided to contain concrete fragments during
6、sudden rupture of specimens.Tendency for sudden rupture increases with increasing concrete strength and it is more likely when the testing machine is relativelyflexible.

Summary of Test Method3.1 This test method consists of applying a compressive
11、axial load to molded cylinders or cores at a rate which is within aprescribed range until failure occurs. The compressive strength of the specimen is calculated by dividing the maximum loadattained during the test by the cross-sectional area of the specimen.4. Significance and Use4.1 Care must be ex

Verification is required under the following conditions:required:5.1.1.1 At least annually, but not to exceed
22、13 months,Within 13 months of the last calibration,5.1.1.2 On original installation or immediately after relocation,5.1.1.3 Immediately after making repairs or adjustments that affect the operation of the force applying system or the valuesdisplayed on the load indicating system, except for zero adj

24、continuously rather than intermittently, and without shock.If it has only one loading rate (meeting the requirements of 7.5), it must be provided with a supplemental means for loading ata rate suitable for verification. This supplemental means of loading may be power or hand operated.5.1.2.2 The spa

27、f use of the testing machine shall not exceed 61.0 %of the indicated load.5.1.3.2 The accuracy of the testing machine shall be verified by applying five test loads in four approximately equal incrementsin ascending order.

30、 conform tospecification requirements rather than reporting a blanket acceptance or rejection. In no case shall the loading range be stated asincluding loads below the value which is 100 times the smallest change of load estimable on the load-indicating mechanism ofthe testing machine or loads withi
31、n that portion of the range below 10 % of the maximum range capacity.5.1.3.5 In no case shall the loading range be stated as including loads outside the range of loads applied during the verificationtest.5.1.3.6 The indicated load of a testing machine shall not be corrected either by calculation or
32、by the use of a calibration diagramto obtain values within the required permissible variation.C39/C39M 12a25.2 The testing machine shall be equipped with two steel bearing blocks with hardened faces (Note 3), one of which is aspherically seated block that will bear on the upper surface of the specim
33、en, and the other a solid block on which the specimenshall rest. Bearing faces of the blocks shall have a minimum dimension at least 3 % greater than the diameter of the specimen tobe tested. Except for the concentric circles described below, the bearing faces shall not depart from a plane by more t
34、han 0.02 mm0.001 in. in any 150 mm 6 in. of blocks 150 mm 6 in. in diameter or larger, or by more than 0.02 mm 0.001 in. in thediameter of any smaller block; and new blocks shall be manufactured within one half of this tolerance. When the diameter of thebearing face of the spherically seated block e
35、xceeds the diameter of the specimen by more than 13 mm 0.5 in., concentric circlesnot more than 0.8 mm 0.03 in. deep and not more than 1 mm 0.04 in. wide shall be inscribed to facilitate proper centering.NOTE 3It is desirable that the bearing faces of blocks used for compression testing of concrete
36、have a Rockwell hardness of not less than 55 HRC.5.2.1 Bottom bearing blocks shall conform to the following requirements:5.2.1.1 The bottom bearing block is specified for the purpose of providing a readily machinable surface for maintenance of thespecified surface conditions (Note 4). The top and bo
37、ttom surfaces shall be parallel to each other. If the testing machine is sodesigned that the platen itself is readily maintained in the specified surface condition, a bottom block is not required. Its leasthorizontal dimension shall be at least 3 % greater than the diameter of the specimen to be tes
38、ted. Concentric circles as describedin 5.2 are optional on the bottom block.NOTE 4The block may be fastened to the platen of the testing machine.5.2.1.2 Final centering must be made with reference to the upper spherical block. When the lower bearing block is used to assistin centering the specimen,
39、the center of the concentric rings, when provided, or the center of the block itself must be directly belowthe center of the spherical head. Provision shall be made on the platen of the machine to assure such a position.5.2.1.3 The bottom bearing block shall be at least 25 mm 1 in. thick when new, a
40、nd at least 22.5 mm 0.9 in. thick after anyresurfacing operations.5.2.2 The spherically seated bearing block shall conform to the following requirements:5.2.2.1 The maximum diameter of the bearing face of the suspended spherically seated block shall not exceed the values givenbelow:Diameter of Maxim

42、de with the surface of the bearing face within a tolerance of 65 % of the radius ofthe sphere. The diameter of the sphere shall be at least 75 % of the diameter of the specimen to be tested.5.2.2.3 The ball and the socket shall be designed so that the steel in the contact area does not permanently d
43、eform when loadedto the capacity of the testing machine.NOTE 6The preferred contact area is in the form of a ring (described as “preferred bearing area”) as shown on Fig. 1.5.2.2.4 At least every six months, or as specified by the manufacturer of the testing machine, clean and lubricate the curvedsu
44、rfaces of the socket and of the spherical portion of the machine. The lubricant shall be a petroleum-type oil such as conventionalmotor oil or as specified by the manufacturer of the testing machine.NOTE 7To ensure uniform seating, the spherically seated head is designed to tilt freely as it comes i
45、nto contact with the top of the specimen. Aftercontact, further rotation is undesirable. Friction between the socket and the spherical portion of the head provides restraint against further rotation duringloading. Petroleum-type oil such as conventional motor oil has been shown to permit the necessa
46、ry friction to develop. Pressure-type greases can reducethe desired friction and permit undesired rotation of the spherical head and should not be used unless recommended by the manufacturer of the testingmachine.5.2.2.5 If the radius of the sphere is smaller than the radius of the largest specimen
47、to be tested, the portion of the bearing faceextending beyond the sphere shall have a thickness not less than the difference between the radius of the sphere and radius of thespecimen. The least dimension of the bearing face shall be at least as great as the diameter of the sphere (see Fig. 1).5.2.2
48、.6 The movable portion of the bearing block shall be held closely in the spherical seat, but the design shall be such thatthe bearing face can be rotated freely and tilted at least 4 in any direction.5.2.2.7 If the ball portion of the upper bearing block is a two-piece design composed of a spherical
49、 portion and a bearing plate,a mechanical means shall be provided to ensure that the spherical portion is fixed and centered on the bearing plate.5.3 Load Indication:5.3.1 If the load of a compression machine used in concrete testing is registered on a dial, the dial shall be provided with agraduated scale that is readable to at least the nearest 0.1 % of the full scale load (Note 8). The dial shall be readable within 1 %C39/C39M 12a3of the indicated load at any given load level within the loading range. In no case sha
