11、 and wallunits that will result in structural members of adequate loadcapacity, durability, appearance, and overall serviceabilityfor the function intended. Units covered by this Guide shouldbe protected from exposure to weather.1.2ScopeThe recommendations of this Guide apply to precast rein-forced
12、cellular concrete units, which are designed and factory-produced for use in structures. These recommendations arebased largely on the experience gained with a large variety ofunits in service. The report does not cover job site fabrication.1.3Definition of cellular concreteThis Guide includes precas
13、t concretes having oven-dryunit weights, as measured by ASTM C 495, of 50 pcf (800kg/m3) or less. The material, which is commonly referred toas cellular or aerated concrete, may be defined as:A lightweight product consisting of portland cementand/or lime with siliceous fine material, such as sand, s
14、lag,or fly ash, mixed with water to form a paste that has a homo-geneous void or cell structure. The cellular structure is at-tained essentially by the inclusion of macroscopic voidsresulting from a gas-releasing chemical reaction or the me-chanical incorporation of air or other gases (autoclave cur
15、ingis usually employed).CHAPTER 2MATERIALS2.1SandSands conforming to ASTM Specifications C 33 and C144 are acceptable.2.2Fly ashFly ash should conform to ASTM C 618.2.3Hydraulic cementsCement should conform to ASTM Specifications C 150 orC 595.2.4LimeLime should conform to ASTM C 911.2.5Foaming agen
16、tsCellular concrete foaming agents shall conform to ASTMC 796 and C 869.2.6Mixing waterMixing water for concrete should be clean and free frominjurious amounts of oils, acids, alkalies, salts, organic mat-ter, or other potentially deleterious substances.2.7AdmixturesAir-entraining, accelerating, ret
17、arding, water-reducing, orpozzolanic admixtures may be used, if desired, provided thatthey conform to ACI 318. Information on such materials isavailable in ACI Report 212.3R.Calcium chloride and accelerators containing chloridesalts should not be used when steel reinforcement or uncoat-ed aluminum m
18、embers are embedded in or in contact withthe concrete.2.8Reinforcement2.8.1Reinforcement should be weldable steel conform-ing to ASTM Specifications A 615, A 82, or A 185. Electri-cal resistance spot welding is usually employed to fabricatethe reinforcing steel cage or mesh. All welding should con-f
19、orm to AWS D12.1.2.8.2Reinforcement in cellular concrete units should beprotected by a corrosion-inhibiting coating such as a latex-modified portland cement slurry or hot dipped zinc coating.CHAPTER 3CONCRETE PROPERTIES3.1Compressive strengthLow-density concrete used in precast reinforced cellularco
20、ncrete floor, roof, and wall units should have a minimumcompressive strength of 300 psi (2.07 MPa). The compressivestrength of these units should be determined by ASTM C 495,ASTM C 513, or ASTM C 796, whichever is applicable.3.2Drying shrinkageThe potential drying shrinkage of cellular concretesshou
21、ld be determined on three specimens, in accordancewith ASTM C 426 or ASTM C 341. The average dryingshrinkage should not be in excess of 0.20 percent. The testshould be conducted employing either a test specimen cutfrom a manufactured unit that is unreinforced or at least hasno steel reinforcement in
22、 the longitudinal direction or mold-ed from the same batch of concrete from which the units aremade. The specimens should be 2 in. x 2 in. (50 mm) in crosssection and of sufficient length to provide the 10 in. (254mm) gage length required. Specimens should be conditionedby immersion in water at 73 2
23、 F (23 1.1 C) for 48 hr.Length measurements should commence immediately uponremoval from the water3.3Thermal insulation valuesThe thermal conductivity of cellular concrete should bemeasured by means of the Guarded Hot Plate (ASTM C 177)or the Heat Flow Meter (ASTM C 518). When test data for aspecifi
24、c concrete are not available, Table 3.3 may be used asa general guide.PRECAST CELLULAR CONCRETE 523.2R-3CHAPTER 4DESIGN4.1Structural analysisThe design of the concrete units covered by this Guideshould be made with reference to permissible stresses, ser-vice loads, and the accepted linear elastic th

The maximum deflection requirements of the LocalBuilding Code, andII. The maximum deflection requirements recommendedby Table 9.5(b
30、) of ACI 318.In no case should the span-depth ratio exceed 30, norshould the thickness be less than 2 in. (50 mm). For this pur-pose the thickness of a topping should not be included incomputing the depth.4.5Concrete protection for reinforcementDue to the high porosity of cellular concretes, the rei
31、nforc-ing bars must receive a rust-resistant coating before casting.The minimum clear cover should be1/2in. (12 mm), com-posed of cellular concrete and any coating that has been ap-plied to the steel reinforcement. The protective cover for firehazard should be at least that necessary to comply with
32、localbuilding codes or other applicable codes.4.6Modulus of elasticityThe modulus of elasticity should be determined in accor-dance with ASTM C 469, except that the specimens may berectangular prisms, and only the results of the first cycle ofloading should be utilized. Strains may be measured by us
33、eof electrical resistance strain gages, mechanical strain mea-suring devices, or dial gages attached to a suitable frame.Maximum strains should not exceed 0.001.It is possible to determine Ecand n by direct measurementof deflection of production members, in accordance withASTM E 72. Using the deflec
34、tion formula = 5wL4/384EcIa value for EcI can be calculated. By trial and error calcula-tions for I of the uncracked transformed section, using as-sumed values of n, a value for Eccan be calculated. Correctvalues of Ecand n are obtained when the relationship Es/Ecis equal to the assumed value for n.

38、 thuspermitting the transfer of loads without differential displace-ment. Interaction between adjacent roof units may be omit-ted provided that the maximum difference in deflectionbetween units is not greater than1/8in. (3.2 mm) under anycondition of load for which the units are designed. Where aflo
39、or system that provides interaction between units, sup-ports partition walls parallel to the unit, or will be subjectedto heavy concentrated loads, such loads may be consideredto be uniformly distributed over not more than two identicalunits on each side thereof, but not over a greater total widthth

(200 mm)from each end and spaced at least 3 in. (75 mm) apart. Addi-tional cross rods should be
41、 spaced at intervals not exceeding40 in. (1 m). For compressive steel reinforcement, at least onecross rod should be placed 4 in. (100 mm) from each end. Ad-ditional cross rods should be spaced at intervals not exceeding40 in. (1 m). The area of the cross rods should be no less thanone third the are
42、a of the longitudinal steel reinforcement.4.9.2 Weld shear strengthA weld in shear should devel-op a minimum of one-half the specified yield strength of thelongitudinal steel times its cross-sectional area.4.10Holes and openingsHoles may be drilled or cut providing the steel reinforce-ment area in a
43、 unit is not reduced in excess of 30 percent.Slabs immediately adjacent to the cut slab should be made toact monolithically with the cut slab, either by keying, weld-ing, doweling, or other mechanical means. Engineering cal-culations should be provided for cut slabs.CHAPTER 5MANUFACTURING5.1CuringAf
44、ter molding, the units are normally cured by high-pres-sure steam curing (autoclaving) or by atmospheric steamcuring. However, other processes may be used that preventthe loss of water during curing, and that result in the attain-ment of all minimum values of mechanical properties recom-mended in th
45、is guide.5.2WorkmanshipThe mix, gradation of the aggregate, and workability shouldbe such as to insure complete filling of the form and intimatebond between the concrete and all steel reinforcement. Thefinished product should have a uniformly textured surface,and be essentially free of flaws and cra
46、cks that would detractfrom its appearance and structural performance.5.3Dimensional tolerancesDimensional tolerances should be as listed for precast con-crete in ACI 117.5.4Identification and markingAll units should bear a permanent identifying symbol aswell as a mark indicating the top of the unit
47、and its orientation.The identifying symbol should be the same one used for theunit in the manufacturers literature. It should be shown in atable on the erection drawings, together with the length, type,and size of unit, and the amount, size, and arrangement of allreinforcement. The tabulated informa
48、tion should be completeenough to permit the calculation of the load capacity of theunit.CHAPTER 6TESTS6.1Tests of an individual flexural unitWhen an individual unit designed by the working stressmethod is to be tested as a simple span beam, the zero pointfor deflection measurements should be under t
49、he total deadload to be carried. The maximum 24 hr midspan deflectiondue to a test load of twice the service live load (with mini-mum test loads of 80 and 60 psf 3.8 and 2.9 kPa for floorsand roofs respectively) should not exceed1/160of the span.The residual deflection immediately after removing the testload should not exceed1/400of the span. Such units shouldthen be tested to complete failure. The test load at failureshould be not less than two times the sum of dead and servicelive loads, nor le
