Ordering Information6.1 In the absence of designated applicable generalspecifications, the purchaser shall specify the following:6.1.1 Designated size or sizes of coarse aggregate,6.1.2 Slump or slumps desired at the point of delivery (see10.3),6.1.3 When air-entrained concrete is

32、 specified, the air con-tent of samples taken at the point of discharge from thetransportation unit (see 10.4 and Table 1 for the total air contentand tolerances) (Note 4),6.1.4 When structural lightweight concrete is specified, thedensity as fresh density, equilibrium density, or oven-drydensity (N

33、ote 5), and6.1.5 Which of Options A, B, or C shall be used as a basisfor determining the proportions of the concrete to produce therequired quality (see 6.2, 6.3,or6.4).NOTE 4In selecting the specified air content, the purchaser shouldconsider the exposure conditions to which the concrete will be su

34、bjected.Air contents less than shown in Table 1 may not give the requiredresistance to freezing and thawing, which is the primary purpose ofair-entrained concrete. Air contents higher than the levels shown mayreduce strength without contributing any further improvement of durabil-ity.NOTE 5The densi

35、ty of fresh concrete, which is the only densitydeterminable at the time of delivery, is always higher than the equilibriumdensity, or oven-dry density. Definitions of, and methods for determiningor calculating equilibrium density and oven-dry density, are covered inTest Method C567.6.2 Option A:6.2.

36、1 When the purchaser requires the manufacturer toassume full responsibility for the selection of the proportionsfor the concrete mixture, the purchaser shall also specify thefollowing:6.2.1.1 Requirements for compressive strength as deter-mined on samples taken from the mixer at the point ofdischarg

37、e and evaluated in accordance with Section 11. Thepurchaser shall specify the requirements in terms of thecompressive strength of standard specimens cured under stan-dard curing conditions for moist curing. Unless otherwisespecified, the age at test shall be 28 days, and6.2.2 At the request of the p

38、urchaser, the manufacturer shall,prior to the actual delivery of the concrete, furnish a statementto the purchaser, giving the dry mass of cement and saturatedsurface-dry mass of fine and coarse aggregate and quantities,type, and name of admixtures (if any) and of water per cubicyard or cubic metre

39、of concrete that will be used in themanufacture of each class of concrete ordered by the purchaser.The manufacturer shall also furnish evidence satisfactory to thepurchaser that the materials to be used and proportions selectedwill produce concrete of the quality specified.6.3 Option B:6.3.1 When th

40、e purchaser assumes responsibility for theproportioning of the concrete mixture, the purchaser shall alsospecify the following:6.3.1.1 Cement content in pounds per cubic yard or kilo-grams per cubic metre of concrete, or equivalent units,6.3.1.2 Maximum allowable water content in gallons percubic ya

41、rd or litres or kilograms per cubic metre of concrete orequivalent units, including surface moisture on the aggregates,but excluding water of absorption (Note 6), and6.3.1.3 If admixtures are required, the type, name, anddosage range to be used. Admixtures shall not be used as asubstitute for a port

42、ion of specified amounts of cement withoutthe written approval of the purchaser.NOTE 6The purchaser, in selecting requirements for which heassumes responsibility should give consideration to requirements forworkability, placeability, durability, surface texture, and density, in addi-tion to those fo

43、r structural design. The purchaser is referred to ACIStandard Practice 211.1 for normal weight concrete, and ACI StandardPractice 211.2 for lightweight concrete, for the selection of proportionsthat will result in concrete suitable for various types of structures andconditions of exposure. The water

44、-cement ratio of most structural light-weight concretes cannot be determined with sufficient accuracy for use asa specification basis.6.3.2 At the request of the purchaser, the manufacturer shall,prior to the actual delivery of the concrete, furnish a statementto the purchaser giving the sources, de

45、nsities, and sieveanalyses of the aggregates and the dry mass of cement andsaturated surface-dry mass of fine and coarse aggregate andquantities, type, and name of admixture (if any) and of waterper cubic yard or cubic metre of concrete that will be used inthe manufacture of each class of concrete o

47、s of 6.1.1 through 6.1.5:6.4.1.1 Required compressive strength as determined onsamples taken from the mixer at the point of discharge andevaluated in accordance with Section 11. The purchaser shallspecify the requirements for strength in terms of tests ofstandard specimens cured under standard curin

48、g conditions formoist curing. Unless otherwise specified, the age at test shall be28 days.6.4.1.2 Minimum cement content in pounds per cubic yardor kilograms per cubic metre of concrete (Note 7), and6.4.1.3 If admixtures are required, the type, name, anddosage range to be used.
