Significance and Use3.1 Grout used in masonry is a fluid mixture of cementitious materials and aggregate with a hig
8、h water content for ease ofplacement.3.1.1 During construction, grout is placed within or between absorptive masonry units. Excess water must be removed fromgrout specimens in order to provide compressive strength test results more nearly indicative of the grout strength in the wall. Inthis test met
9、hod, molds are made from masonry units having the same absorption and moisture content characteristics as thosebeing used in the construction.3.2 This test method is used to either help select grout proportions by comparing test values or as a quality control test foruniformity of grout preparation
10、during construction.3.3 The physical exposure condition and curing of the grout are not exactly reproduced, but this test method does subject thegrout specimens to absorption conditions similar to those experienced by grout in the wall.NOTE 2Test results of grout specimens taken from a wall should n
11、ot be compared to test results obtained with this test method.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee C12 on Mortars and Grouts for Unit Masonry and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee C12.02on Research and Methods of Test.Current edition approved Jan. 1, 2009.

(76 mm) or larger on the sides and twice as high as its width.Dimensional tolerances shall be within 5 % of the width selected.5.2 Test at least three
21、 specimens at each age specified.NOTE 4Frequency of sampling and age of test is to be determined by the specifier of this test method and is usually found in the constructiondocuments.6. Grout Specimen Molds6.1 Molds from Masonry Units:6.1.1 Select a level location where the molds remain undisturbed
22、 for up to 48 h.NOTE 5The location of specimen construction should be protected and as free from perceptible vibration as possible.6.1.2 The construction of the mold shall simulate the in-situ construction. If the grout is placed between two different types ofmasonry units, both types shall be used
23、to construct the mold.6.1.3 Form a space with a square cross-section, 3 in. (76 mm) or larger on each side and twice as high as its width, by stackingmasonry units of the same type and moisture condition as those being used in the construction. The surface of the unit in contactwith the grout specim
24、en shall not have been previously used to mold specimens. Place nonabsorbent blocks, cut to proper size andof the proper thickness or quantity, at the bottom of the space to achieve the necessary height of specimen. Tolerance on space andspecimen dimensions shall be within 5 % of the specimen width.
25、 See Fig. 1, Fig. 2, and Fig. 3 and accompanying notes.6.1.4Line6.1.4 Line the masonry surfaces that will be in contact with the grout specimen with a thin, permeable material toprevent bond to the masonry units. New lining material shall be used for each specimen.NOTE 6The lining, such as paper tow
26、el, is used to aid in stripping the grout specimen from the mold. Proper installation of the lining preventsirregularly sized specimens and varying test results.6.1.5 Brace units to prevent displacement during grouting and curing.6.2 Alternative MethodsAlternative methods of forming the specimens sh
27、all be used only with the approval of the specifier.Such approval shall be based on comparative testing of grout specimens constructed from molds as described in 6.1 and thealternative method. Approval shall be limited to a single specimen shape, method of forming, masonry units used, and grout mix.
28、A conversion factor based on comparative testing of a minimum of ten pairs of specimens shall be used to modify results fromalternative methods.NOTEFront masonry unit stack not shown to allow view of specimen.FIG. 1 Grout Mold (Units 6 in.

29、own)C1019 112NOTE 7Other methods of obtaining grout specimens and specimens of different geometry have been employed in grout testing, but are not describedin this test method. Other methods used to obtain grout specimens include: drilling grout-filled cores of regular units; filling cores of masonr
30、y unitsspecifically manufactured to provide grout specimens; filling compartments in slotted corrugated cardboard boxes specifically manufactured to providegrout specimens; and forming specimens from different sized masonry units of the same or similar material.Since test results vary with methods o
31、f forming the specimen, specimen geometry, and grout mix, comparative test results between specimens madewith molds described in 6.1 and specimens made with alternative methods are required and confined to a single specimen shape, method of forming,masonry units used, and grout mix.7. Sampling Grout
32、7.1 Size of SampleGrout samples to be used for slump and compressive strength tests shall be a minimum of12 ft3(0.014m3).7.2 ProcedureThe procedures used in sampling shall include the use of precautions that will assist in obtaining samples thatare representative of the nature and condition of the g
33、rout. After the final slump adjustment has been made, sample grout as thegrout is being placed.7.2.1 Field SamplingCollect two or more portions taken at regularly spaced intervals during the discharge of the middleportion of the batch. The elapsed time between obtaining the first and final portions
34、of the sample shall be not more than 15 min.7.2.2 Laboratory SamplingThe entire mixed batch of grout is the sample.NOTE 8The field technician sampling, making, and curing specimens for acceptance testing should be certified (American Concrete Institute FieldTesting TechnicianGrade I, National Concre
35、te Masonry Association Masonry Testing Technician, or equivalent). Equivalent certification programsshould include both written and performance examinations.7.3Place7.3 Place the grout sample in a non-absorptive container and cover the top to protect the sample from the sun, wind,and any other sourc
36、es of rapid evaporation and from contamination. Transport the grout sample to the mold location. Remix thesample with a shovel or trowel to ensure uniformity prior to filling molds. Keep remaining grout sample protected until used tofill any depression in the sample due to initial water loss.8. Temp

39、lf-consolidating grout, measure and record the slump flow in accordance with the requirements of Test MethodC1611/C1611M and visual stability index (VSI) in accordance with the requirements of Test Method C1611/C1611M, AppendixX1.9. Compressive Test Specimen9.1 If grout from the slump or slump flow
40、test is used for the compressive test specimens, remix the sample. Begin filling thecompressive strength molds within 15 min of obtaining the final portion of the sample.9.2 For all grout except self-consolidating grout, fill the mold with grout in two layers of approximately equal depth. Rod eachla
41、yer 15 times with the tamping rod. Rod the bottom layer through its depth. Slightly overfill the mold. Rod the second layer withthe tamping rod penetrating12 in. (12.7 mm) into the lower layer. Distribute the strokes uniformly over the cross section of themold.9.3 For self-consolidating grout, fill
42、the mold with grout in one layer and do not rod.9.4 Strike off the top surface of the specimen with a straightedge to produce a flat surface that is even with the top edge of themold and that has no depressions or projections larger than18 in. (3.2 mm). Cover immediately with a damp absorbent materi
43、alsuch as cloth or paper towel. Keep the top surface of the specimens damp by wetting the absorbent material and covering witha nonabsorbent, nonreactive material to retain the moisture. Do not disturb the specimens.9.5Within9.5 Within 30 min after filling the mold, add sufficient grout without rodd
44、ing to fill the depression caused by initialwater loss. Strike off the top surface of the specimen with a straightedge to produce a flat surface that is even with the top edgeof the mold. Cover immediately with a damp absorbent material such as cloth or paper towel. Keep the top surface of the speci
45、mendamp by wetting the absorbent material and covering with a nonabsorbent, nonreactive material. Do not disturb the specimen untilthe molds are removed.NOTE 9The viscosity of self-consolidating grout changes with time. Thus the depression may require filling prior to the thirty minute limit.9.6 Pro
46、tect the specimens from freezing and variations in temperature. Store an indicating maximum-minimum thermometerwith the specimens and record the maximum and minimum temperatures experienced prior to the time the specimens are placedin the final curing environment.NOTE 10If storage temperatures are l
47、ess than 60F (15.6C) or greater than 80F (26.7C) as shown by the thermometer, the resulting compressivestrength will likely be affected.10. Transportation, Curing, and Testing of the Specimens10.1Remove the molds between 24 and 48 h after making the specimens.10.1 Remove the molds between 24 and 48
48、h after making the specimens.NOTE 11Various conditions, such as the use of set retarders or low ambient temperatures, may necessitate delaying mold removal until well after24 h. Care should be taken to ensure the specimens have achieved sufficient strength for transportation, which may include delay
49、ing mold removal andtransportation until 48 h.10.2 Within 30 min after removing the molds, place specimens in a protective container and keep specimens damp.10.3 Transport field specimens to the laboratory within 8 h after mold removal.10.4 Within 8 h after mold removal, place in a moist room, moist cabinet, or water storage tank conforming to SpecificationC511.
