SCOPE 1.1. This method covers procedures for determini
3、ng the static segregation resistance (stability) of self-consolidating concrete (SCC) using hardened test specimens. 1.2. The concrete used to make the molded specimens shall be sampled after all on-site adjustments have been made to the mixture proportions, including the addition of mix water and a
4、dmixtures. 1.3. The text of this standard references notes and footnotes that provide explanatory information. These notes and footnotes (excluding those in tables and figures) shall not be considered as requirements for this standard. 1.4. The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the sta
5、ndard. 1.5. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 2. REF

14、 6.1. Making Specimens: 6.1.1. A minimum of two fresh test specimens shall be molded as near as practicable to the place where they are to be stored. If it is not practicable to mold the specimens where they will be stored, move them to the place of storage immediately after strike off. Place molds
15、on a rigid surface free from vibration and other disturbances. The supporting surface shall be level to within 20 mm/m (0.25 in./ft). 6.1.2. Specimen molds shall be filled in one lift, poured using a suitable container without vibration, rodding, or tapping. 6.1.3. Strike off the surface of the conc

17、 shall be capped with a plastic cylinder lid and stored for a period up to 24 h at a minimum temperature of 16C (60F). 7. PROCEDURE 7.1. Before subjecting the specimens to sawing, they either shall have a minimum curing period of 24 h or shall attain a minimum compressive strength of 6200 kPa (900 p
18、si) according to T 22. 7.2. Specimens shall be sawn lengthwise down the center. If a specimen cannot be satisfactorily sawed smooth for lack of curing, then the remaining specimen(s) shall remain undisturbed for an additional minimum curing period of 24 h before being subjected to sawing. 7.3. Make

The cut planes shall be wetted to facilitate visual inspection. For cores taken perpendicular to the concrete as it was originally placed, the “top” a
20、nd “bottom” of the cut plane shall be oriented parallel to the direction of placement.
