17、of the concrete masonry unitsor any material customarily used in masonry construction.5. Physical Requirements5.1 At the time of delivery to the purchaser, units shallconform to the physical requirements prescribed in Table 1 andTable 2. All units shall be sound and free of cracks or otherdefects th

18、at interfere with the proper placement of the unit orsignificantly impair the strength or permanence of the construc-tion. Minor cracks, incidental to the usual method of manufac-ture or minor chipping resulting from customary methods ofhandling in shipment and delivery, are not grounds for rejec-ti

19、on.NOTE 2Higher compressive strengths than those listed in Table 2 maybe specified where required by design. Consult with suppliers to determineavailability of units of higher compressive strength.NOTE 3Oven-dry densities of concrete masonry units generally fallwithin the range of 85 to 145 lbf/ft3(

20、1360 to 2320 kg/m3). Becauseavailable densities will vary, suppliers should be consulted before speci-fying project requirements.5.1.1 When higher compressive strengths than those listedin Table 2 are specified, the tested average net area compres-sive strength of three units shall equal or exceed t

21、he specifiedcompressive strength, and the tested individual unit net areacompressive strength of all three units shall exceed 90 % of thespecified compressive strength.5.2 At the time of delivery to the purchaser, the linearshrinkage of units shall not exceed 0.065 %.NOTE 4The purchaser is the publi

22、c body or authority, association,corporation, partnership, or individual entering into a contract or agree-ment to purchase or install, or both, concrete masonry units. The time ofdelivery to the purchaser is FOB plant when the purchaser or thepurchasers agent transports the concrete masonry units,

23、or at the timeunloaded at the worksite if the manufacturer or the manufacturers agenttransports the concrete masonry units.5.3 Hollow Units:5.3.1 Face shell thickness (tfs) and web thickness (tw) shallconform to the requirements prescribed in Table 1.NOTE 5Web thickness (tw) not conforming to the re

24、quirementsprescribed in Table 1 may be approved, provided equivalent structuralcapability has been established when tested in accordance with theapplicable provisions of Test Methods E72, C1314, E519, or otherapplicable tests and the appropriate design criteria developed is inaccordance with applica

25、ble building codes.5.4 Solid Units:5.4.1 The net cross-sectional area of solid units in everyplane parallel to the bearing surface shall be not less than 75 %of the gross cross-sectional area measured in the same plane.5.5 End Flanges:5.5.1 For units having end flanges, the thickness of eachflange s

26、hall not be less than the minimum face shell thickness.NOTE 6Flanges beveled at the ends for mortarless head joint appli-cations that will be filled with grout are exempt from this requirement.Flanges which are specially shaped for mortarless head joint applicationswhich have been shown by testing o

27、r field experience to provideequivalent performance are exempt from this requirement.6. Permissible Variations in Dimensions6.1 Standard UnitsFor standard units, no overall dimen-sion (width, height, and length) shall differ by more than 618in. (3.2 mm) from the specified dimensions.6.2 Particular F

28、eature UnitsFor particular feature units,dimensions shall be in accordance with the following:6.2.1 For molded face units, no overall dimension (width,height, and length) shall differ by more than 618 in. (3.2 mm)from the specified standard dimension. Dimensions of moldedfeatures shall be within 611

29、6 in. (1.6 mm) of the specifiedstandard dimensions and shall be within 6116 in. (1.6 mm) ofthe specified placement of the molded feature.NOTE 7Molded features include, but are not limited to: ribs, scores,hex-shapes, and patterns.6.2.2 For split-faced units, all non-split overall dimensionsshall dif

30、fer by not more than 618 in. (3.2 mm) from thespecified standard dimensions.6.2.3 For slump units, no overall height dimension shalldiffer by more than 618 in. (3.2 mm) from the specifiedstandard dimension.NOTE 8On faces that are split or slumped, overall dimensions willvary. Consult with suppliers

31、to determine achievable dimensional toler-ances for products including these features.7. Finish and Appearance7.1 Where units are to be used in exposed wall construction,the face or faces that are to be exposed shall not show chips orcracks, not otherwise permitted, or other imperfections whenviewed

32、 from a distance of not less than 20 ft (6.1 m) underdiffused lighting.7.1.1 Five percent of a shipment containing chips, not largerthan 1 in.

(19.1 mm). When the units are to be solid grouted, the

35、10 % limitdoes not apply and Footnote C establishes a thickness requirement for the entirefaceshell.CWhen the units are to be solid grouted, minimum face shell and web thicknessshall be not less than58 in.

The finished surfaces that will be exposed in placeshall conform to an approved sample, consisting of not lessthan four units, representing the range of texture and colorpermitted.NOTE 9Co

38、ncrete masonry units are produced using a wide variety ofnatural aggregates and other materials. As such, slight variations inherentfrom natural materials should be expected. Since specifying units andapproving samples can take place several months prior to production ofactual units for a project, s

39、light variations in appearance from theapproved sample are to be expected.7.3 A shipment shall not contain more than 5 % of units,including broken units, that do not meet the requirements of6.1, 7.1, and 7.1.1.8. Sampling and Testing8.1 The purchaser or authorized representative shall beaccorded pro

40、per facilities to inspect and sample the units at theplace of manufacture from the lots ready for delivery.8.2 Sample and test units in accordance with Test MethodsC140.8.3 Total linear drying shrinkage shall be based on tests ofconcrete masonry units made with the same materials, concretemix design

41、, manufacturing process, and curing method, con-ducted in accordance with Test Method C426 and not morethan 24 months prior to delivery.9. Compliance9.1 If a sample fails to conform to the specified require-ments, the manufacturer shall be permitted to remove unitsfrom the shipment. A new sample sha

42、ll be selected by thepurchaser from remaining units from the shipment with asimilar configuration and dimension and tested. If the secondsample meets the specified requirements, the remaining portionof the shipment represented by the sample meets the specifiedrequirements. If the second sample fails

43、 to meet the specifiedrequirements, the remaining portion of the shipment repre-sented by the sample fails to meet the specified requirements.NOTE 10Unless otherwise specified in the purchase order, the cost oftests is typically borne as follows: (1) if the results of the tests show thatthe units do

44、 not conform to the requirements of this specification, the costis typically borne by the seller; (2) if the results of the tests show that theunits conform to the specification requirements, the cost is typically borneby the purchaser.10.

WATER PENETRATION RESISTANCEX1.1 Exterior walls are often subjected to moisture pen-etration from one or more sources. Fo

46、r example, basementwalls may be exposed to water from saturated soil. Above-grade exterior walls are usually exposed to wind-driven rain.To prevent water penetration, proper detailing, construction,flashing, and drainage should be provided. Proper waterpenetration resistant treatments should be appl

47、ied to the walls.While it is not within the scope of Specification C90 to includeinformation on resistance to water penetration, such informa-tion and guidelines are available from other organizations.TABLE 2 Strength, Absorption, and Density Classification RequirementsDensity Classification Oven-Dr

CRACK CONTROLX2.1 Restrained or differential movement in buildingelements and building materials can result in cracking. Somecommon causes of movement are: loads created by wind, soilpressure, seismic forces, or other external sources; settlementof foundations; or volume changes in materials. For example,volume changes in concrete masonry units can be caused bymoisture gain and
