A superscriptepsilon () 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 specification covers hollow and solid (see 5.3 and5.4) concrete m
3、asonry units made from hydraulic cement,water, and mineral aggregates with or without the inclusion ofother materials. There are three classes of concrete masonryunits: (1) normal weight, (2) medium weight, and (3) light-weight. These units are suitable for both loadbearing andnonloadbearing applica
4、tions.1.2 Concrete masonry units covered by this specification aremade from lightweight or normal weight aggregates, or both.NOTE 1The requirements of this specification have been researched,evaluated, and established for over a century, resulting in the physicalproperties and attributes defined her
5、e. These requirements are uniquelyand solely applicable to concrete masonry units manufactured on equip-ment using low or zero slump concrete and the constituent materialsdefined herein. Many performance attributes of concrete masonry units areindirectly accounted for, or inherently reflected within
6、, the requirementsof this specification without direct measurement, assessment, or evalua-tion. Applying the requirements of this specification to products that maybe similar in appearance, use, or nature to those covered by thisspecification may not address all pertinent physical properties necessa
7、ry toensure performance or serviceability of the resulting construction inreal-world applications under typical exposure environments. Productsmanufactured using alternative materials, manufacturing methods, orcuring processes not covered by this specification should not be evaluatedsolely using the
8、 requirements in this specification; however, developers ofnew products can consider the property requirements of this specificationas a beginning benchmark for unit performance. It is reasonable to testnew products for system performance as well as unit performance.1.3 The text of this specificatio

22、trimental to the durability of theconcrete masonry units or any material customarily used inmasonry 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 o
23、f cracks or otherdefects that 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, a
24、re not grounds for rejec-tion.NOTE 3Higher 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 4Oven-dry densities of concrete masonry units generally fallwithin the
25、range of 85 to 145 lbf/ft3(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 un
26、its shall equal or exceed the 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
27、5The purchaser is the public 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 t
28、he concrete masonry units, 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 6Web thickness (t
29、w) not conforming to the requirementsprescribed 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 i
30、s inaccordance with applicable 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, th
31、e thickness of eachflange shall not be less than the minimum face shell thickness.NOTE 7Flanges beveled at the ends for mortarless head jointapplications that will be filled with grout are exempt from this require-ment. Flanges which are specially shaped for mortarless head jointapplications which h
32、ave been shown by testing or field experience toprovide equivalent 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
33、dimensions.TABLE 1 Minimum Face Shells and Web RequirementsANominal Width (W) of Units,in. (mm)Face Shell Thickness (tfs),min, in. (mm)B,CWebsWeb ThicknessC(tw),min, in.

35、, but not lessthan34 in. (19.1 mm). When the units are to be solid grouted, the 10 % limit does not apply and Footnote C establishes a thickness requirement for the entire faceshell.CWhen the units are to be solid grouted, minimum face shell and web thickness shall be not less than58 in. (16 mm).DMi
36、nimum normalized web area does not apply to the portion of the unit to be filled with grout. The length of that portion shall be deducted from the overall length of theunit for the calculation of the minimum web cross-sectional area.C901326.2 Particular Feature UnitsFor particular feature units,dime
37、nsions 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 6116 in. (1.6 mm) of the specifiedstandard dimen
38、sions and shall be within 6116 in. (1.6 mm) ofthe specified placement of the molded feature.NOTE 8Molded 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 differ by not more than 618 in. (3.2 mm) from th
39、especified 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 9On faces that are split or slumped, overall dimensions willvary. Consult with suppliers to determine achievable dimensional toler-anc
40、es for products including these features.7. Finish and Appearance7.1 No more than 5 % of the units in the shipment shallexhibit one or more of the characteristics described in 7.1.1through 7.1.4 and 7.2.7.1.1 Units with dimensions not meeting the requirementsof 6.1.7.1.2 Units with finished face(s)
41、containing chips larger than1 in. (25.4 mm) in any direction.7.1.3 Units with finished face(s) containing cracks widerthan 0.02 in. (0.5 mm) and longer than 25 % of the nominalheight of the unit.7.1.4 Units that are broken.NOTE 10Units specified to have particular features or finishes, such assplit-
42、face and tumbled units, should not be evaluated for conformance ofsuch features to the requirements of 7.1.2.7.2 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 in 7.1.2 and 7.1.3, or otherimperfe
43、ctions when viewed from a distance of not less than 20ft (6.1 m) under diffused lighting.7.3 The color and texture of units shall be specified by thepurchaser. The finished surfaces that will be exposed in placeshall conform to an approved sample, consisting of not lessthan four units, representing
44、the range of texture and colorpermitted.NOTE 11Concrete 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 pr
45、ior to production ofactual units for a project, slight variations in appearance from theapproved sample are to be expected.8. Sampling and Testing8.1 The purchaser or authorized representative shall beaccorded proper facilities to inspect and sample the units at theplace of manufacture from the lots
46、 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, manufacturing process, and curing method, con-ducted in accordance with Test Method C
47、426 and not morethan 24 months prior to delivery.9. Compliance9.1 If a sample fails to conform to the specifiedrequirements, the manufacturer shall be permitted to removeunits from the shipment. A new sample shall be selected by thepurchaser from remaining units from the shipment with asimilar confi
48、guration 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 to meet the specifiedrequirements, the remaining portion of the shipment repre-sented by
49、 the sample fails to meet the specified requirements.NOTE 12Unless 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 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.
