Significance and Use4.1 This test method provides a means of verifying that masonry materials used in construction result in masonry that meetsthe specif
18、ied compressive strength.4.2 This test method provides a means of evaluating compressive strength characteristics of in-place masonry constructionthrough testing of prisms obtained from that construction when sampled in accordance with Practice C1532C1532/C1532M.Decisions made in preparing such fiel
19、d-removed prisms for testing, determining the net area, and interpreting the results ofcompression tests require professional judgment.4.3 If this test method is used as a guideline for performing research to determine the effects of various prism construction ortest parameters on the compressive st
20、rength of masonry, deviations from this test method shall be reported. Such research prismsshall not be used to verify compliance with a specified compressive strength of masonry.NOTE 1The testing laboratory performing this test method should be evaluated in accordance with Practice C1093.4.3.1 Appe
21、ndix X2 includes guidance information for the researcher on aspects of materials, construction, and analysis.5. Masonry Prism Construction5.1 Construct prisms of units representative of those used in the construction. If units have projections (see Note 2) that project12 in. (12.5 mm) or more, remov
22、e those projections by saw cutting flush with the surface of the unit at the base of the projection.The resulting units shall be a fully enclosed cell or cells that will ensure a full bearing surface over the net cross-section of theprism. If saw cutting will not result in a fully enclosed cell or c
23、ells, use full-size units, and, if grout is used, grout in accordancewith 5.9.4. If prisms are used for field quality control or assurance, record the location in the structure that corresponds to the setof prisms constructed.NOTE 2Examples of projections include flutes, ribs, and face shells of ope
24、n-ended units.NOTE 3Building codes or project specifications may require a set of prisms for a given square footage of construction. Recording the location of thestructure that corresponds to a set of prisms allows the test results to be attributed to a particular portion of the structure.5.2 Constr
25、uct a set of prisms for each combination of materials and each test age at which the compressive strength of masonryis to be determined.5.3 Build each prism in an opened, moisture-tight bag large enough to enclose and seal the completed prism. Construct prismson a flat, level base. Construct prisms
26、in a location where they will remain undisturbed until transported for testing.5.4 Construct prisms as shown in Fig. 1 with units laid in stack bond in stretcher position. Orient units in the prism as in theFIG. 1 Masonry Prism ConstructionC1314 182corresponding construction. At the time of prism co
27、nstruction, the surfaces of the units shall be free of moisture. Where thecorresponding construction is of multi-wythe masonry having wythes composed of different units or mortar, build prismsrepresentative of each different wythe and test separately.5.5 Build prisms with full-size or reduced length
28、 units. Any required saw cutting shall be performed on units prior to prismconstruction. The moisture content(s) of units used to construct prisms shall be representative of those used in construction. Prismscomposed of units that contain closed cells shall have at least one complete cell with one f
29、ull-width cross web on either end (seeFig. 2). Prisms composed of units without closed cells shall have as symmetrical a cross section as possible. The minimum lengthof prisms shall be 4 in. (100 mm).NOTE 4When using larger masonry units, experience has shown that reducing the length of these units
30、prior to prism construction makes theirhandling and transportation easier. Thus, these reduced length unit prisms are less likely to be damaged and are more likely to be properly capped andtested.Also, the smaller prism will be less likely to be affected by plate bending effects during testing, as d
31、escribed in Note 11, and will therefore providea more accurate assessment of the strength of the materials in the masonry prism. For these reasons, the use of reduced length prisms is encouraged.5.6 Build masonry prisms with full mortar beds (mortar all webs and face shells of hollow units). Use mor
32、tar representative ofthat used in the corresponding construction. Use mortar joint thickness and a method of positioning and aligning units, that arerepresentative of the corresponding construction. Use mortar joints that are cut flush. For prisms to be grouted, remove mortar“fins” that protrude int
33、o the grout space.5.7 Build prisms a minimum of two units high with a height-to-thickness ratio, hp/tp, between 1.3 and 5.0.5.8 Immediately following the construction of the prism, seal the moisture-tight bag around the prism.5.9 Grouted Prisms.5.9.1 If prisms are fabricated for field quality contro
34、l or assurance, build prisms at the same time as the correspondingconstruction, and grout prisms when the corresponding construction is being grouted. If prisms are used for other purposes, groutprisms not less than 4 h nor more than 48 h following the construction of the prisms.NOTE 5Testing of pri
35、sms may be part of a projects field quality control or assurance program. These prisms are intended to be representative of aconstructed masonry element such as a wall, column, pilaster, or beam. They are built as companions to the masonry element at a jobsite where themasonry element is site-constr
36、ucted, or within a factory or shop where the element is shop-built. Prisms may also be fabricated in a laboratory for researchpurposes.5.9.2 If the corresponding construction is to be solidly grouted, solidly grout the prisms. Use grout representative of that usedin the corresponding construction. B
37、efore placing grout, remove mortar droppings from the grout space. Use grout consolidationand reconsolidation procedures representative of those used in the construction. Place additional grout into the prisms as necessaryafter each consolidation. Screed off excess and finish the grout so that it is
38、 level with the top of the prism and in contact with theunits at the perimeter of the grout space. Grouted prisms shall contain no reinforcement.5.9.3 If the corresponding construction is to be partially grouted, construct two sets of prisms; grout one set solid as describedin 5.9.2 and leave the ot
39、her set ungrouted.5.9.4 If open-end units or prisms containing grout between similar wythes are to be grouted, use a rigid impermeable materialas a form to confine the grout during placement on all ends that are open (see Note 6). Brace forms to prevent displacement duringgrouting. Grout as describe
40、d in 5.9.2.FIG. 2 Reduction of Hollow Units Prior to Prism ConstructionC1314 183NOTE 6Satisfactory performance of forming material has been achieved using wood covered with plastic, steel plates, or pieces of rigid acrylic andstrapped or clamped in place. Use of impermeable material is more represen
41、tative of actual construction if grouted open ends are not in contact with websof adjacent units.5.9.5 Immediately following the grouting operation, reseal the moisture-tight bag around the prism.5.10 Keep all prisms from freezing. Do not disturb or move prisms for the first 48 h after construction
42、and grouting. Keep prismsin the moisture-tight bags until 48 h prior to testing.5.11 Store an indicating maximum-minimum thermometer with the sample and record the maximum and minimumtemperatures experienced during the initial 48-h period.6. Obtaining and Transporting Masonry Prisms6.1 For field-rem
43、oved masonry specimens, select and remove specimens in accordance with Practice C1532C1532/C1532M.6.2 Prior to transporting constructed prisms and field-removed masonry specimens, strap or clamp each prism or specimen toprevent damage during handling and transportation. Secure prisms and specimens t
44、o prevent jarring, bouncing, or tipping overduring transporting.6.3 Transport prisms and masonry specimens in accordance with Practice C1532C1532/C1532M.6.4 For field-removed masonry specimens, after the specimens have been transported to the laboratory, obtain prisms from themasonry specimens using
45、 procedures outlined in Practice C1587C1587/C1587M.7. Curing7.1 After the initial 48 h of curing for constructed prisms, maintain the bagged prisms in an area with a temperature of75615F (2468C). Two days prior to testing, remove the moisture-tight bags and continue storing at a temperature of75615F
46、 (2468C) and a relative humidity less than 80 %.7.2 For prisms obtained from field-removed masonry, store within the laboratory at a temperature of 75615F (2468C) anda relative humidity less than 80 % for at least two days prior to testing.7.3 Prisms shall not be oven-dried or otherwise exposed to t
47、emperatures exceeding storage temperature requirements at any timeprior to testing.7.4 Visible moisture shall not be present on the surface of the prisms at the time of testing. Extend storage time as needed toensure dry surface conditions of the prisms at the time of testing.7.5 Test prisms at an a
48、ge of 28 days or at the designated test ages. Test a set of prisms at each age. Prism age shall be determinedfrom the time of laying units for ungrouted prisms, and from the time of grouting for grouted prisms.8.
