1、TS-1c T 304-1 AASHTO Standard Method of Test for Uncompacted Void Content of Fine Aggregate AASHTO Designation: T 304-11 1. SCOPE 1.1. This method describes the determination of the loose uncompacted void content of a sample of fine aggregate. When measured on any aggregate of a known grading, void

2、content provides an indication of that aggregates angularity, sphericity, and surface texture compared with other fine aggregates tested in the same grading. When void content is measured on an as-received fine aggregate grading, it can be an indicator of the effect of the fine aggregate on the work

3、ability of a mixture in which it may be used. 1.2. Three procedures are included for the measurement of void content. Two use graded fine aggregate (standard grading or as-received grading), and the other uses several individual size fractions for void content determinations: 1.2.1. Standard Graded

4、Sample (Method A)This method uses a standard fine aggregate grading that is obtained by combining individual sieve fractions from a typical fine aggregate sieve analysis. See Section 9, Preparation of Test Samples, for the grading. 1.2.2. Individual Size Fractions (Method B)This method uses each of

5、three fine aggregate size fractions: (a) 2.36 mm (No. 8) to 1.18 mm (No. 16); (b) 1.18 mm (No. 16) to 600 m (No. 30); and (c) 600 m (No. 30) to 300 m (No. 50). For this method, each size is tested separately. 1.2.3. As-Received Grading (Method C)This method uses that portion of the fine aggregate fi

6、ner than a 4.75-mm (No. 4) sieve. 1.2.4. See Section 5, Significance and Use, for guidance on the method to be used. 1.3. The values stated in SI units shall be regarded as the standard. 1.4. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is

7、 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.

Terms used in this standard are defined in ASTM C 125 or ACI 116R. 4. SUMMARY OF TEST METHOD 4.1. A nominal 100-mL calibrated c

11、ylindrical measure is filled with fine aggregate of prescribed grading by allowing the sample to flow through a funnel from a fixed height into the measure. The fine aggregate is struck off, and its mass is determined by weighing. Uncompacted void content is calculated as the difference between the

12、volume of the cylindrical measure and the absolute volume of the fine aggregate collected in the measure. Uncompacted void content is calculated using the bulk dry specific gravity of the fine aggregate. Two runs are made on each sample and the results are averaged. 4.1.1. For a graded sample (Metho

13、d A or Method C) the percent void content is determined directly, and the average value from two runs is reported. 4.1.2. For the individual size fractions (Method B), the mean percent void content is calculated using the results from tests of each of the three individual size fractions. 5. SIGNIFIC

14、ANCE AND USE 5.1. Methods A and B provide percent void content determined under standardized conditions that depend on the particle shape and texture of a fine aggregate. An increase in void content by these procedures indicates greater angularity, less sphericity, or rougher surface texture, or som

15、e combination of the three factors. A decrease in void content results is associated with more rounded, spherical, smooth surfaced fine aggregate, or a combination of these factors. 5.2. Method C measures the uncompacted void content of the minus 4.75-mm (No. 4) portion of the as-received material.

16、This void content depends on grading as well as particle shape and texture. 5.3. The void content determined on the standard graded sample (Method A) is not directly comparable with the average void content of the three individual size fractions from the same sample tested separately (Method B). A s

17、ample consisting of single-size particles will have a higher void content than a graded sample. Therefore, use either one method or the other as a comparative measure of shape and texture, and identify which method has been used to obtain the reported data. Method C does not provide an indication of

18、 shape and texture directly if the grading from sample to sample changes. 2013 by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials.All rights reserved. Duplication is a violation of applicable law.TS-1c T 304-3 AASHTO 5.3.1. The standard graded sample (Method A) is most useful

19、as a quick test that indicates the particle shape properties of a graded fine aggregate. Typically, the material used to make up the standard graded sample can be obtained from the remaining size fractions after performing a single sieve analysis of the fine aggregate. 5.3.2. Obtaining and testing i

20、ndividual size fractions (Method B) is more time consuming and requires a larger initial sample than using the graded sample. However, Method B provides additional information concerning the shape and texture characteristics of individual sizes. 5.3.3. Testing samples in the as-received grading (Met

21、hod C) may be useful in selecting proportions of components used in a variety of mixtures. In general, high void content suggests that the material could be improved by providing additional fines in the fine aggregate or more cementitious material may be needed to fill voids between particles. 5.3.4

22、. The bulk dry specific gravity of the fine aggregate is used in calculating the void content. The effectiveness of these methods of determining void content and its relationship to particle shape and texture depends on the bulk specific gravity of the various size fractions being equal, or nearly s

23、o. The void content is actually a function of the volume of each size fraction. If the type of rock or mineral or its porosity varies markedly in any of the size fractions, it may be necessary to determine the specific gravity of the size fractions used in the test. 5.4. Void content information fro

24、m Methods A, B, or C will be useful as an indicator of properties such as: the mixing water demand of hydraulic cement concrete; flowability, pumpability, or workability factors when formulating grouts or mortars; or, in bituminous concrete, the effect of the fine aggregate on stability and voids in

25、 the mineral aggregate; or the stability of the fine aggregate portion of a base course aggregate. 6. APPARATUS 6.1. Cylindrical MeasureA right cylinder of approximately 100 mL capacity having an inside diameter of approximately 39 mm and an inside height of approximately 86 mm made of drawn copper

The sample(s) used for this test shall be obtained using T 2 and T 248, or from sieve analysis samples used for T 27, or from aggregate extracted from a bituminous con

37、crete specimen. For Methods A and B, the sample is washed over a 150-m (No. 100) or 75-m (No. 200) sieve in accordance with T 11 and then dried and sieved into separate size fractions according to T 27 procedures. Maintain the necessary size fractions obtained from one (or more) sieve analysis in a

38、dry condition in separate containers for each size. For Method C, dry a split of the as-received sample in accordance with the drying procedure in T 27. 8. CALIBRATION OF CYLINDRICAL MEASURE 8.1. Apply a light coat of grease to the top edge of the dry, empty cylindrical measure. Weigh the measure, g

39、rease, and glass plate. Fill the measure with freshly boiled, deionized water at a temperature of 18 to 24C. Record the temperature of the water. Place the glass plate on the measure, being sure that no air bubbles remain. Dry the outer surfaces of the measure and determine the combined mass of meas

40、ure, glass plate, grease, and water by weighing. Following the final weighing, remove the grease, and determine the mass of the clean, dry, empty measure for subsequent tests. 8.2. Calculate the volume of the measure as follows: 1000MVD= (1) where: V = volume of cylinder, mL; M = net mass of water,

41、g; and D = density of water (see table in T 19M/T 19 for density at the temperature used), kg/m3. Determine the volume to the nearest 0.1 mL. Note 2If the volume of the measure is greater than 100.0 mL, it may be desirable to grind the upper edge of the cylinder until the volume is exactly 100.0 mL,

Use this value in subsequent calculations unless so

47、me size fractions differ by more than 0.05 from the specific gravity typical of the complete sample, in which case the specific gravity of the fraction (or fractions) being tested must be determined.
