The lower bearing block may also be used to ad

The lowerbearing block is also referred to as bottom block, plain block,and false platen.3.2.3 platen, nprimary bearing surface of the testingmachine.3.2.3.1 DiscussionThe platen is also referred to as thetesting machine table.3.2.4 spacer, nsteel

20、piece used to elevate the lower bear-ing block to accommodate test specimens of various heights.3.2.4.1 DiscussionSpacers are not required to have hard-ened bearing faces because spacers are not in direct contactwith the specimen or the retainers of unbonded caps.3.2.5 upper bearing block, nsteel as

Summary of Test Method4.1 This test method consists of applying a compres

22、siveaxial load to molded cylinders or cores at a rate which is withina prescribed range until failure occurs. The compressivestrength of the specimen is calculated by dividing the maxi-mum load attained during the test by the cross-sectional area ofthe specimen.5. Significance and Use5.1 Care must b

23、e exercised in the interpretation of thesignificance of compressive strength determinations by this testmethod since strength is not a fundamental or intrinsic propertyof concrete made from given materials. Values obtained willdepend on the size and shape of the specimen, batching, mixingprocedures,

24、 the methods of sampling, molding, and fabricationand the age, temperature, and moisture conditions duringcuring.5.2 This test method is used to determine compressivestrength of cylindrical specimens prepared and cured in accor-dance with Practices C31/C31M, C192/C192M, C617/C617M,C943, C1176/C1176M

25、, C1231/C1231M, and C1435/C1435M,and Test Methods C42/C42M, C873/C873M, and C1604/C1604M.5.3 The results of this test method are used as a basis forquality control of concrete proportioning, mixing, and placingoperations; determination of compliance with specifications;control for evaluating effecti

26、veness of admixtures; and similaruses.5.4 The individual who tests concrete cylinders for accep-tance testing shall meet the concrete laboratory technicianrequirements of Practice C1077, including an examinationrequiring performance demonstration that is evaluated by anindependent examiner.NOTE 1Cer

27、tification equivalent to the minimum guidelines for ACIConcrete Laboratory Technician, Level I or ACI Concrete StrengthTesting Technician will satisfy this requirement.6.

30、s reason to suspect the accuracy ofthe indicated loads.6.1.2 DesignThe design of the machine must include thefollowing features:6.1.2.1 The machine must be power operated and mustapply the load continuously rather than intermittently, andwithout shock.

32、ration device which is of sufficient capacity to cover thepotential loading range of the testing machine and whichcomplies with the requirements of Practice E74.NOTE 2The types of elastic calibration devices most generallyavailable and most commonly used for this purpose are the circularproving ring

33、 or load cell.6.1.3 AccuracyThe accuracy of the testing machine shallbe in accordance with the following provisions:6.1.3.1 The percentage of error for the loads within theproposed range of use of the testing machine shall not exceed61.0 % of the indicated load.C39/C39M 1826.1.3.2 The accuracy of th

34、e testing machine shall be verifiedby applying five test loads in four approximately equalincrements in ascending order.
