2、cification for Lightweight Aggregates for Structural Concrete AASHTO Designation: M 195-11 (2015) ASTM Designation: C330-09 1. SCOPE 1.1. This specification covers lightweight aggregates intended for use in structural concrete in which the prime considerations are reducing the density while maintain
3、ing compressive strength of the concrete. Procedures covered in this specification are not intended for job control of concrete. 1.2. The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values shown in parentheses are for information purposes only. 1.3. The text of this standard re
4、ferences notes and footnotes that provide explanatory material. These notes and footnotes (excluding those in tables and figures) shall not be considered as requirements of the standard. Note 1This specification is regarded as adequate to ensure satisfactory lightweight aggregates for most concrete.
5、 It is recognized that it may be either more or less restrictive than needed for some conditions and for special purposes, such as fire resistance, fill, and concrete constructions, the use of which is based on load tests rather than conventional design procedures. 2.

Two general types of lightweight aggregates are covered by this specification, as follows: 3.1.1. Aggregates prepared by expanding, pel

Follow the procedures of T 160 with the following exceptions: 8.4.1. Prepare the concrete mixture using 335 kilograms of cement per cubic meter (564 pounds of cement
39、 per cubic yard), admixture (if any), and with an air content of 6 1 percent. Adjust the water content so as to produce a slump of 50 to 100 mm (2 to 4 in.). Thoroughly consolidate the concrete in steel molds not smaller than 50 by 50 mm (2 by 2 in.) nor larger than 100 by 100 mm (4 by 4 in.) in cro
40、ss section, and long enough to provide a 250-mm (10-in.) gauge length. The surface of the concrete shall be steel troweled. 8.4.2. CuringTo prevent evaporation of water from the unhardened concrete, cover the specimen with a nonabsorptive, nonreactive plate or sheet of tough, durable, impervious pla

Note 5Placing a sheet of plastic over the burlap will facilitate keep
43、ing it wet. Note 6The air immediately above a saturated solution of magnesium chloride (MgCl2) at 37.8C (100F) is approximately 32 percent relative humidity. 8.4.3. ReportAfter storage in the cabinet for 28 days, remove each specimen and within 15 s, determine its change in length to the nearest 0.0
44、1 percent of the effective gauge length.
