28、APTER 1INTRODUCTION1.1ScopeThis guide outlines procedures for achieving good results inmeasuring and mixing ingredients for concrete, transporting itto the site, and placing it. The first six chapters are general andapply to all types of projects and concrete. The following fourchapters deal with pr
29、eplaced-aggregate concrete, underwaterplacing, pumping, and conveying on belts. The concludingthree chapters deal with heavyweight, radiation-shieldingconcrete, lightweight concrete, and volumetric-measuring andcontinuous-mixing concrete equipment.1.2ObjectiveWhen preparing this guide, ACI Committee
30、 304 followedthis philosophy:Progress in improvement of concrete construction isbetter served by the presentation of high standardsrather than common practices;In many, if not most, cases, practices resulting in theproduction and placement of high-quality concrete can beperformed as economically as
31、those resulting in poorconcrete. Many of the practices recommended in thisdocument improve concrete uniformity as well as quality,yielding a smoother operation and higher productionrates, both of which offset potential additional cost; andAnyone planning to use this guide should have a basicknowledg
32、e of the general practices involved in concretework. If more specific information on measuring,mixing, transporting, and placing concrete is desired,the reader should refer to the list of references given atthe end of this document, and particularly to the workof the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (1981
33、), the U.S.Department of Commerce (1966), the Corps of Engi-neers (1994a), ASTM C 94, ACI 311.1R, and ACI 318.To portray more clearly certain principles involved inachieving maximum uniformity, homogeneity, andquality of concrete in place, figures that illustrate goodand poor practices are also incl
34、uded in this guide. MEASURING, MIXING, TRANSPORTING, AND PLACING CONCRETE 304R-31.3Other considerationsAll who are involved with concrete work should know theimportance of maintaining the unit water content as low aspossible and still consistent with placing requirements(Mielenz 1994; Lovern 1966).
35、If the water-cementitiousmaterials ratio (w/cm) is kept constant, an increase in unitwater content increases the potential for drying-shrinkagecracking, and with this cracking, the concrete can lose aportion of its durability and other favorable characteristics,such as monolithic properties and low
36、permeability.Indiscriminate addition of water that increases the w/cmadversely affects both strength and durability.The more a form is filled with the right combination of solidsand the less it is filled with water, the better the resultingconcrete will be. Use only as much cement as is required toa
37、chieve adequate strength, durability, placeability, workability,and other specified properties. Minimizing the cement contentis particularly important in massive sections subject torestraint, as the temperature rise associated with the hydrationof cement can result in cracking because of the change
38、involume (ACI 207.1R and 207.2R). Use only as much water andfine aggregate as is required to achieve suitable workability forproper placement and consolidation by means of vibration.CHAPTER 2CONTROL, HANDLING,AND STORAGE OF MATERIALS2.1General considerationsCoarse and fine aggregates, cement, pozzol
39、ans, and chem-ical admixtures should be properly stored, batched, andhandled to maintain the quality of the resulting concrete.2.2AggregatesFine and coarse aggregates should be of good quality,uncontaminated, and uniform in grading and moisture content.Unless this is accomplished through appropriate
40、 specifica-tions (ASTM C 33) and effective selection, preparation, andhandling of aggregates (Fig. 2.1), the production of uniformconcrete will be difficult (Mielenz 1994; ACI 221R).2.2.1 Coarse aggregateThe coarse aggregate should becontrolled to minimize segregation and undersized material.The fol
41、lowing sections deal with prevention of segregationand control of undersized material.2.2.1.1 SizesA practical method of minimizing coarseaggregate segregation is to separate the material into severalsize fractions and batch these fractions separately. As therange of sizes in each fraction is decrea
42、sed and the numberof size separations is increased, segregation is furtherreduced. Effective control of segregation and undersizedmaterials is most easily accomplished when the ratio ofmaximum-to-minimum size in each fraction is held to notmore than four for aggregates smaller than 1 in. (25 mm) and
43、to two for larger sizes. Examples of some appropriate aggre-gate fraction groupings follow:Example 1Sieve designationsNo. 8 to 3/8 in. (2.36 to 9.5 mm)No. 4 to 1 in. (4.75 to 25.0 mm)3/4 to 1-1/2 in. (19.0 to 37.5 mm)Example 2Sieve designationsNo. 4 to 3/4 in. (4.75 to 19.0 mm)3/4 to 1-1/2 in. (19.0
44、 to 37.5 mm)1-1/2 to 3 in. (37.5 to 75 mm)3 to 6 in. (75 to 150 mm)2.2.1.2 Control of undersized materialUndersizedmaterial for a given aggregate fraction is defined as materialthat will pass a sieve having an opening 5/6 of the nominalminimum size of each aggregate fraction (U.S. Bureau ofReclamati
45、on 1981). In Example 2 in Section 2.2.1.1, it wouldbe material passing the following sieves: No. 5 (4.0 mm),5/8 in. (16.0 mm), 1-1/4 in. (31.5 mm), and 2-1/2 in. (63 mm).For effective control of gradation, handling operations that donot increase the undersized materials in aggregates significantlybe
46、fore their use in concrete are essential (Fig. 2.1 and 2.2). Thegradation of aggregate as it enters the concrete mixer shouldbe uniform and within specification limits. Sieve analyses ofcoarse aggregate should be made with sufficient frequency toensure that grading requirements are met. When two or
47、moreaggregate sizes are used, changes may be necessary in theproportions of the sizes to maintain the overall grading of thecombined aggregate. When specification limits for gradingcannot be met consistently, special handling methods shouldbe instituted. Materials tend to segregate during transporta
48、tion,so reblending may be necessary. Rescreening the coarseaggregate as it is charged to the bins at the batch plant toremove undersized materials will effectively eliminate unde-sirable fines when usual storage and handling methods arenot satisfactory. Undersized materials in the smaller coarseaggr
49、egate fractions can be consistently reduced to as low as2% by rescreening (Fig. 2.2). Although rescreening is effectivein removing undersized particles, it will not regrade segregatedaggregates.2.2.2 Fine aggregate (sand)Fine aggregate should becontrolled to minimize variations in gradation, giving specialattention to keeping finer fractions uniform and exercisingcare to avoid excessive removal of fines during processing.If the ratio of fine-to-coarse aggregate is adjusted in accor
