8、se ofplacement.3.1.1 During construction, grout is placed within or betweenabsorptive masonry units. Excess water must be removed 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
9、 masonry units havingthe same absorption and moisture content characteristics asthose being used in the construction.3.2 This 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 Th

Grout Specimen Molds6.1 Molds from Masonry Units:6.1.1 Select a level location where the molds remain undis-turbed for up to 48 h.NOTE 5The
20、 location of specimen construction should be protectedand as free from perceptible vibration as possible.6.1.2 The construction of the mold shall simulate the in-situconstruction. If the grout is placed between two different typesof masonry units, both types shall be used to construct themold.6.1.3
21、Form a space with a square cross-section, 3 in. (76mm) 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 construction. The surface of theunit in contact with the grout specimen shall not have beenprevio
22、usly 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 and specimen dimen-sions shall be within 5 % of the specimen width. See Fig. 1,Fig. 2, and Fig.
23、3 and accompanying notes.6.1.4 Line the masonry surfaces that will be in contact withthe grout specimen with a thin, permeable material to preventbond to the masonry units. New lining material shall be usedfor each specimen.NOTE 6The lining, such as paper towel, is used to aid in stripping thegrout
24、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 groutingand curing.6.2 Alternative MethodsAlternative methods of formingthe specimens shall be used only with the approval of thespe
25、cifier. Such approval shall be based on comparative testingof grout specimens constructed from molds as described in 6.1and the alternative method. Approval shall be limited to asingle specimen shape, method of forming, masonry unitsused, and grout mix.Aconversion factor based on comparativetesting
26、of a minimum of ten pairs of specimens shall be used tomodify results from alternative methods.NOTE 7Other methods of obtaining grout specimens and specimens ofdifferent geometry have been employed in grout testing, but are notdescribed in this test method. Other methods used to obtain groutspecimen
27、s 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 fromdifferent sized masonr
28、y units of the same or similar material.Since test results vary with methods of forming the specimen, specimengeometry, and grout mix, comparative test results between specimensmade with molds described in 6.1 and specimens made with alternativemethods are required and confined to a single specimen

After the final slump adjustment has been made,sample grout as the grout is being placed.7.2.1 Field SamplingCollect two or more portions takenat regularly spaced intervals during the discharge of the middleportion of t
31、he batch. The elapsed time between obtaining thefirst and final portions of the sample shall be not more than 15min.7.2.2 Laboratory SamplingThe entire mixed batch ofgrout is the sample.NOTE 1Front masonry unit stack not shown to allow view ofspecimen.FIG. 1 Grout Mold (Units 6 in.

Equivalent certificationprograms should include both written and performance examinations.7.3 Place the grout sample in a
34、 non-absorptive container andcover the top to protect the sample from the sun, wind, and anyother sources 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 tofilling molds. Keep remaining gr

Temperature and Slump Test8.1 Measure and record the temperature of the grout samplein accordance with Test Method C1064/C1064M.8.2 Begin filling the slump cone within 5 min of obtainingthe final portion
36、of the sample.8.3 For all grout except self-consolidating grout, measureand record the slump in accordance with the requirements ofTest Method C143/C143M.8.4 For self-consolidating grout, measure and record theslump flow in accordance with the requirements of TestMethod C1611/C1611M and visual stabi

Compressive Test Specimen9.1 If grout from the slump or slump flow test is used for thecompressive test specimens, remix the sample. Begin filling thecompressive strength molds within 15 min of obtaining
38、thefinal portion of the sample.9.2 For all grout except self-consolidating grout, fill themold with grout in two layers of approximately equal depth.Rod each layer 15 times with the tamping rod. Rod the bottomlayer through its depth. Slightly overfill the mold. Rod thesecond layer with the tamping r

Do not disturb the specimens.9.5 Within 30 min after filling the mold, add sufficient groutwithout rodding to fill the depression caused by initial waterloss. Strike off the top surface of the specimen with astraightedge to produce a flat surface that is eve

Keep the top surface ofthe specimen damp by wetting the absorbent material andcovering with a nonabsorbent, nonreactive material. Do notdisturb the specimen until the molds are removed.NOTE
43、9The viscosity of self-consolidating grout changes with time.Thus the depression may require filling prior to the thirty minute limit.9.6 Protect the specimens from freezing and variations intemperature. Store an indicating maximum-minimum ther-mometer with the specimens and record the maximum andmi
44、nimum temperatures experienced prior to the time thespecimens are placed in the final curing environment.NOTE 10If storage temperatures are less than 60F (15.6C) or greaterthan 80F (26.7C) as shown by the thermometer, the resulting compres-sive strength will likely be affected.10. Transportation, Cu

Care should be taken to ensure the specimens have achievedsufficient strength for transportation, which may include delaying moldremoval and transportation until 48 h.10.2 Within 30 min after removing the molds, place speci-mens in a protective container and keep specimens damp.10.3 Tr
