A number in parent

2、heses indicates the year of last reapproval. A superscriptepsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S. Department of Defense.1. Scope*1.1 This specification covers hollow and solid (see 5.3 and5.4) conc

3、rete masonry units made from hydraulic cement,water, and mineral aggregates with or without the inclusion ofother materials. There are three classes of concrete masonryunits: Normal Weight, Medium Weight, and Lightweight.These units are suitable for both loadbearing and nonloadbear-ing applications.

4、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 here. The

5、se 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, the

Physical Requirements5.1 At the time of delivery to the purchaser, units shallconform to the physical requirements prescribed in Table 1 andTable

25、2. All units shall be sound and free of 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

26、ofhandling in shipment and delivery, are not grounds for rejec-tion.NOTE 4Higher 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 5Oven-dry densities of concrete m

27、asonry units generally fallwithin the 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

28、area compres-sive strength of three units 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.

36、 but not less than34 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

37、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.C90 16a2applications that will be filled with grout are exempt from

38、 this require-ment. Flanges which are specially shaped for mortarless head jointapplications which have 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

39、dimen-sion (width, height, and length) shall differ by more than618 in. (3.2 mm) from the specified dimensions.6.2 Particular Feature 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) sh

40、all 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 dimensions and shall be within 6116 in. (1.6 mm) ofthe specified placement of the molded feature.NOTE 9Molded features include, but a

41、re 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 thespecified standard dimensions.6.2.3 For slump units, no overall height dimension shalldiffer by more than 618 in. (3.2 mm) from

42、 the specifiedstandard dimension.NOTE 10On faces that are split or slumped, overall dimensions willvary. Consult with suppliers to determine achievable dimensional toler-ances for products including these features.7. Finish and Appearance7.1 No more than 5 % of the units in the shipment shallexhibit

43、 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) containing chips larger than1 in. (25.4 mm) in any direction.7.1.3 Units with finished face(s) containing cracks widerthan 0.02

44、 in. (0.5 mm) and longer than 25 % of the nominalheight of the unit.7.1.4 Units that are broken.NOTE 11Units specified to have particular features or finishes, such assplit-face and tumbled units, should not be evaluated for conformance ofsuch features to the requirements of 7.1.2.7.2 Where units ar

45、e 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 otherimperfections when viewed from a distance of not less than 20ft (6.1 m) under diffused lighting.7.3 The color and texture of units sha

46、ll 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 the range of texture and colorpermitted.NOTE 12Concrete masonry units are produced using a wide variety ofnatural aggregates an

47、d 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, slight variations in appearance from theapproved sample are to be expected.8. S

48、ampling 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 ready for delivery.8.2 Compressive strength, absorption, density, and dimen-sional tolerances shall be based on tests of concr

49、ete masonryunits of any configuration or dimension made with the samematerials, concrete mix design, manufacturing process, andcuring method, conducted in accordance with Test MethodsC140/C140M and not more than 12 months prior to delivery.8.3 Total linear drying shrinkage shall be based on tests ofconcrete masonry units of any configuration or dimensionmade with the same materials, concrete mix design, manufac-turing process, and curing method, conducted in accordancewith Test Method C426 and not more than 24 months prior todelivery.9.
