7、Flow of Self-Consolidating Concrete3. Significance and Use3.1 Grout used in masonry is a fluid mixture of cementitiousmaterials and aggregate with a high water content for ease ofplacement.3.1.1 During construction, grout is placed within or betweenabsorptive masonry units. Excess water must be remo
8、ved fromgrout specimens in order to provide compressive strength testresults more nearly indicative of the grout strength in the wall.In this test method, molds are made from masonry units havingthe same absorption and moisture content characteristics asthose being used in the construction.3.2 This
9、test method is used to either help select groutproportions by comparing test values or as a quality control testfor uniformity of grout preparation during construction.3.3 The physical exposure condition and curing of the groutare not exactly reproduced, but this test method does subjectthe grout sp
10、ecimens to absorption conditions similar to thoseexperienced by grout in the wall.NOTE 2Test results of grout specimens taken from a wall should notbe compared to test results obtained with this test method.4.

In order to
16、 prevent this from occurring, newwooden blocks shall be soaked in limewater for 24 h, sealed with varnishor wax, or covered with an impermeable material prior to use.4.5 Panels and plates, pieces of34 in.

Test Specimens5.1 Each grout specimen shall have a square cross-section,3 in. (76 mm) or larger on the sides and twice
18、as high as itswidth. Dimensional tolerances shall be within 5 % of the widthselected.5.2 Test at least three specimens at each age specified.NOTE 4Frequency of sampling and age of test is to be determined bythe specifier of this test method and is usually found in the constructiondocuments.6. Mold C
19、onstruction6.1 Select a level location where the molds remain undis-turbed for up to 48 h.NOTE 5The location of specimen construction should be protectedand as free from perceptible vibration as possible.6.2 The construction of the mold shall simulate the in-situconstruction. If the grout is placed
20、between two different typesof masonry units, both types shall be used to construct themold.6.3 Form a space with a square cross-section, 3 in. (76 mm)or larger on each side and twice as high as its width, bystacking masonry units of the same type and moisture condi-tion as those being used in the co
21、nstruction. The surface of theunit in contact with the grout specimen shall not have beenpreviously used to mold specimens. Place nonabsorbentblocks, cut to proper size and of the proper thickness orquantity, at the bottom of the space to achieve the necessaryheight of specimen. Tolerance on space a
22、nd specimen dimen-sions shall be within 5 % of the specimen width. See Fig. 1,Fig. 2, and Fig. 3and accompanying notes.NOTE 6Other methods of obtaining grout specimens and specimensof different geometry have been employed in grout testing, but are notdescribed in this test method. Other methods used
23、 to obtain groutspecimens include: drilling grout-filled cores of regular units; filling coresof masonry units specifically manufactured to provide grout specimens;filling compartments in slotted corrugated cardboard boxes specificallymanufactured to provide grout specimens; and forming specimens fr
24、omdifferent sized masonry units of the same or similar material.Since test results vary with methods of forming and specimen geometry,comparative test results between the specimen described in this testmethod and the proposed specimen should be required and confined to asingle specimen shape and met
