11、n.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 A representative sample of fresh soil-cement is ob-tained. The temperature of the soil-cement test specimen and abuffer solution are determined separately and recorded. Thebuffer solution is added to the soil-cement test specimen andvigorously mixed. After mixing, the
12、temperature of the soil-cement/buffer solution mixture is determined and recorded.The heat of neutralization is calculated and, from a previouslyestablished calibration curve, the cement content of the testspecimen is obtained.5. Significance and Use5.1 This procedure provides a means for reliably d
13、etermin-ing the cement content of soil-cement in approximately 15 to20 min. The procedure can be used to determine the cementcontent of soil-cement to 61 percentage point by mass of drysample of the actual cement content, that is generally adequatefor most construction control applications.1This tes

Because Class F pozzolan may not contain any calciumhydroxide for reaction, this test method will not determinepercentage Class F pozzolan in the mix.NOTE 1The quality of the result produced by this test method isdependent on the competence of th

Safety Hazards8.1 Chemicals used in this procedure contain acid that canbe irritating to exposed skin. Per
31、form this procedure only withadequate ventilation and with rinse water available. Wearrubber gloves, laboratory coat or apron, and safety glasses orgoggles.8.2 After mixing the soil-cement/buffer solution and beforeremoving the lid, place a towel over the top of the specimencontainer. The pressure g
32、enerated while mixing can cause fluidto spray as the lid is removed.9. Technical Hazards9.1 The calibration curve is specific to the mix design andmaterial used. If mix design percentages are changed or if thesource of material is changed, a new calibration curve must bedeveloped.9.2 Soil-cement wit
33、h gravel is highly susceptible to segre-gation during handling. To minimize segregation, use care inobtaining samples, selecting specimens, and during remixingand testing of the soil-cement specimen.9.3 Soil-cement samples are to be tested within 60 min fromthe time water and cement first come into
34、contact duringmixing at the lab, mixing plant, or on site.9.4 Soil-cement samples must be protected from moistureloss prior to testing.9.5 The temperature difference between the buffer solutionand soil-cement specimen should not exceed 4C. If thetemperature difference is equal to or greater than 4C,
35、 heat orcool the buffer solution to within 4C of the soil-cementspecimen.D59820229.6 Gelling or stiffening of the soil-cement/buffer solutionmixture may occur when testing specimens having cementcontents greater than 16 %. If this occurs, the ratio of mass ofbuffer solution to mass of soil-cement sp
36、ecimen (1.65 kg buffersolution to 1.50 kg soil-cement) (3.64 to 3.30 lbm) given in thistest method cannot be used and a new mass ratio must beestablished.9.7 The buffer solution used in the test method consists ofglacial acetic acid, water, and sodium acetate. Glacial aceticacid is corrosive and ign
37、itable and gives a distinct vinegar odorto the buffer mixture. Sodium acetate and calcium acetate (areaction product) are not considered to be toxic or hazardouschemicals. The acidity of the buffer solution changes from pH2 to pH 5.2 during testing and can be disposed of with thecement waste. If, af
38、ter testing, a higher pH value is desired orif there is unreacted buffer solution, additional cement or limemay be added to the mixture prior to disposal.10. Sampling10.1 Obtain a fresh soil-cement sample using either themethod described in 10.1.1 or 10.1.2. The method selecteddepends upon the reaso
39、n for testing. Subsection 10.1.1 is to beused if the production process at the mixing plant is to bechecked. Subsection 10.1.2 is to be used during placement ofsoil-cement at the time of construction.10.1.1 Using a square faced shovel or large scoop, obtain aminimum 2-kg (5-lbm) sample from the mixi
40、ng plant. Thesample should be taken immediately after the soil-cement isdeposited in the truck or onto the site. Segregation of the gravelfraction may occur during the dumping. When obtaining thesample, visually observe if it appears representative of thespecified mixture proportions. If the sample
41、does not appearrepresentative, it should be discarded and a new sampleobtained. Place the soil-cement sample in a large air-tightbucket or other suitable container (see 9.2-9.4 ).10.1.2 Using a shovel or large scoop, obtain a minimum2-kg (5-lbm) sample from the material obtained at the con-struction
42、 site for density or compressive strength testing, orboth. When obtaining the sample, visually observe if it appearsrepresentative of the specified mixture proportions. If thesample does not appear representative, it should be discardedand a new sample obtained. Place the soil-cement sample in alarg
43、e air-tight bucket or other suitable container (see 9.2-9.4).11. Calibration and Standardization11.1 Record all calibration data on an appropriate form orby electronic means. One example of a form that meets the datarequirements is the form shown in Fig. 1.11.2 Establish a calibration curve by deter
44、mining the heat ofneutralization of soil-cement test specimens prepared at knowncement contents that bracket the value of percent cement to beused for construction.11.3 Prepare nine 1.50 kg (3.30 lbm) soil-cement calibrationspecimens using the percentages of gravel, minus 4.75 mm(No. 4) material, an
45、d water as determined when the mixturewas proportioned. The amount of cement added to the calibra-tion specimens should be as follows: three calibration speci-mens should be two percentage points less cement than thatspecified for construction, three specimens two percentagepoints greater, and three
46、 specimens having the same percentcement as specified for construction. An example mixtureproportion calculation for one 1.50 kg (3.30 lbm) specimen isshown on Fig. 2. Note that, in the example, water contentvalues are required and were previously determined in accor-dance with Test Method D 2216 in
47、 order to calculate thequantity of each size material needed.11.3.1 In four separate containers place the mass, deter-mined to the nearest 0.01 kg or 0.01 lbm, of gravel, minus 4.75mm (No. 4) material, water and cement for one 1.50 kg (3.30lbm) soil-cement calibration specimen.11.3.2 Combine the gra
48、vel and minus 4.75 mm (No. 4)material with one-half the required amount of water in an 11-to 15-L (3- to 4-gal) container. Mix thoroughly using a largespoon or other suitable mixing device. Ensure that the gravel isevenly wetted and that no dry clods of minus 4.75 mm (No. 4)material are present in t
49、he calibration specimen.11.3.3 Add the cement and the remainder of the water to thecalibration specimen. Mix thoroughly to ensure an evendistribution of cement throughout the specimen. Ensure that nocement clods are present and no cement is sticking to the sidesof the container.11.3.4 Place the funnel into the mouth of the test specimencontainer.11.3.5 Using the large spoon, place the soil-cement calibra-tion specimen into the specimen container using care to preventportions of the calibration specimen from sticking to the sidesof the funnel. Ensure that all of the calibra
