Clouding of the wetti

Sampling7.1 Determine locations on the bridge deck to be tested byusing either a grid pattern similar to that illustrated in Fig. 1 orby a random location system, based upon Practice E 105 or asimilar method, that will ensure that the bridge deck area to betested
17、will be adequately represented.8. Procedure8.1 Prepare the surface to be tested by removing all foreignmaterial by sweeping or scraping, or both. Do not use water toclean. The surface must be dry and clean before testing.8.1.1 Locate the reinforcing steel with a pachometer. Drillwith a rotary impact
18、 hammer at selected locations to expose thereinforcing steel to allow attachment of ohmmeter leads.Alternately, drill until the drill bit contacts the steel firmly toallow ohmmeter lead attachment.8.2 Uncoil an ample length of wire to reach all areas to betested, attach the minus () jack of the ohmm
19、eter to thereinforcing steel and the plus ( + ) jack to the 305 by 305 by3.0-mm (12 by 12 by18-in.) copper plate of the probe. Thensaturate the sponge with water containing the wetting agent.NOTE 3A direct connection from the ohmmeter to the top layer ofreinforcing steel in the deck is desirable. Ho
20、wever, if it is not practical todo this, the bridge railing, expansion joints, light standards, drainagescuppers, or other exposed steel, which is known to have contact with thetop mat of reinforcing steel, may be used to provide this connection.8.2.1 Check the ohmmeter battery for satisfactory char
21、ge,then zero the ohmmeter dial indicator. Connect the two wireleads to the ohmmeter and check for circuit continuity.8.2.2 Check for overall equipment operation and satisfac-tory circuit by placing the probe on exposed concrete deckcurbing and observing the resistance reading on the ohmmeter.This re
22、ading will normally range from 1000 to 3000 V forvarious bridge decks. Place the probe at several locations alongthe curb and observe the readings, which must remain rela-tively constant as an indication of a complete electrical circuitand especially to ensure a good contact with the reinforcingstee
23、l.NOTE 4Excessive moisture in the pavement would cause invalidresistance readings. To give a measure of assurance against this, theresistance between any two test sites may be checked prior to the testingsequence described in 8.3 through 8.4. This is accomplished by attachingthe ohmmeter to two prob
24、es, rather than a single probe, and the reinforcingsteel. Immediate low readings (10 000 6V) will indicate excessivemoisture in the pavement and on top of the membrane and further testingof the entire deck, or at least such identified portions of it, should bepostponed.8.3 By means of the pressure s
25、pray can containing watermixed with 8 mL/L (1 oz/gal) of wetting agent, wet a spot ateach test location as determined in 7.1. Each spot should belarge enough to accommodate the probe. Repeat the wetting ofeach test site three to five times in series. Take care that thewetted areas do not interconnec
26、t, either on the surface or at thepavement water-barrier membrane interface.8.3.1 In order to be sure that the applied water has pen-etrated the pavement and is in contact with the water-barriermembrane, select a representative, well-compacted, test loca-tion as a check point. After allowing ample t
27、ime for moisturepenetration at all test sites, place the probe on the check pointand determine the resistance with the test apparatus assembledas described in 8.2. Repeat the wetting of all test sites followedby a determination of the resistance at the check point. Do thisuntil the check point resis
28、tance reading has stabilized. The timerequired for the wetting process will vary, depending on thethickness and permeability of the pavement layer (30 min isnormally sufficient).NOTE 5The reasoning behind the above requirement is that when thedense, very well-compacted pavement at the check point, w
29、hich has beenwetted equally along with all other test locations, achieves a stabilizedresistance, then logically all other test sites should have stabilized also. Ithas been found expedient in some cases (due to high ambient tempera-tures) to place prewetted sponges at each test site after wetting i
30、n order tomaintain saturation.8.4 Proceed to test the bridge deck for electrical resistance.Place the probe at each test location and allow the ohmmeterreading to settle; note it. For a d-c ohmmeter, reverse the leadsby tripping the double-pole switch. When the reading hassettled again, note it and
31、record the average of two suchreadings as the resistance for each point. (See Fig. 2 for anexample of the recording procedure.)NOTE 6Reversal of the dc meter leads by means of the switch box andaveraging the readings reduces the error induced by galvanic coupling ofthe probe and the reinforcing stee
32、l. This is not necessary when using an acohmmeter. If readings are taken using scales other than the highest rangeprovided by the ohmmeter, note the scale used.FIG. 1 Layout for Test GridD 3633 98 (2006)28.5 If it is desired to further define areas of low-resistancereadings, establish a grid pattern
33、 with intersections at interme-diate points not previously tested. These points should only betested after allowing sufficient time for the moisture in thepavement to dissipate. Time for this will depend on the densityand thickness of the pavement, as well as the ambient andpavement temperatures (us
34、ually a minimum of 24 h should beallowed).9. Report9.1 The resistance values shall be reported in a mannersimilar to that shown in Fig. 2. Areas that fail to meet anyminimum requirements may be outlined on the grid sheet. Ifdesired, these same areas may be outlined on the bridge deck.Any repairs or
35、corrections that need to be made shall be notedon the report sheet.10. Precision and Bias10.1 Data were developed for precision statement from awater-barrier membrane-pavement system that had been inservice for some time. The precision statements may not beapplicable when testing new installations s
