Significance and Use3.1 Grout used in masonry is a fluid mixture of cementitious materials and aggregate with a high water
8、 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 method, mo
9、lds 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 during
10、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 not be c

20、ut specimen shall have a square cross-section, 3 in. (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 specimens at each age specified.NOTE 4Frequency of sampling and age of test is to be determined
21、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 for up to 48 h.NOTE 5The location of specimen construction should be protected and as free from
22、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 to construct the mold.6.1.3 Form a space with a square cross-section, 3 in. (76 mm) or larger on
23、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 specimen shall not have been previously used to mold specimens. Place nonabsorbent blocks, cut to prope
24、r 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. See Fig. 1, Fig. 2, and Fig. 3 and accompanying notes.6.1.4 Line the masonry surfaces that will
25、be in contact with the grout specimen with a thin, permeable material to prevent bondto the masonry units. New lining material shall be used for each specimen.NOTE 6The lining, such as paper towel, is used to aid in stripping the grout specimen from the mold. Proper installation of the lining preven
26、tsirregularly 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 shall be used only with the approval of the specifier.Such approval shall be based on comparative testing of
27、 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.A conversion factor based on comparative testing of a minimum of ten pairs of specimens shall be used to m
28、odify results fromNOTE 1Front masonry unit stack not shown to allow view of specimen.FIG. 1 Grout Mold (Units 6 in. (152.4 mm) or Less in Height, 214 in. (57.2 mm) High Brick Shown)C1019 162alternative methods. The coefficient of variation of test results of specimens formed by the alternative metho
29、d shall be less thanor equal to that of the specimens formed in accordance with 6.1.NOTE 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
30、: drilling grout-filled cores of regular units; filling cores of masonry 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
31、 of the same or similar material.Since test results vary with methods of 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
32、, method of forming,masonry units used, and grout mix.7. Sampling Grout7.1 Size of SampleGrout samples to be used for slump and compressive strength tests shall be a minimum of 12 ft3 (0.014 m3).7.2 ProcedureThe procedures used in sampling shall include the use of precautions that will assist in obt
33、aining samples thatare representative of the nature and condition of the grout. 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 t
34、he batch. The elapsed time between obtaining the first and final portions 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 (A
35、merican Concrete Institute FieldTesting TechnicianGrade I, National Concrete Masonry Association Masonry Testing Technician, or equivalent). Equivalent certification programsshould include both written and performance examinations.7.3 Place the grout sample in a non-absorptive container and cover th
36、e 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 the samplewith a shovel or trowel to ensure uniformity prior to filling molds. Keep remaining grout sample protected in a covered,n
37、on-absorptive container until used to fill any depression in the sample due to initial water loss.8. Temperature and Slump Test8.1 Measure and record the temperature of the grout sample in accordance with Test Method C1064/C1064M.8.2 Begin filling the slump cone within 5 min of obtaining the final p
38、ortion of the sample.8.3 For all grout except self-consolidating grout, measure and record the slump in accordance with the requirements of TestMethod C143/C143M.8.4 For self-consolidating grout, measure and record the slump flow in accordance with the requirements of Test MethodC1611/C1611M and vis
39、ual 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 test is used for the compressive test specimens, remix the sample. Begin filling thecompressive strength molds within 15 min of
40、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 eachlayer 15 times with the tamping rod. Rod the bottom layer through its depth. Slightly overfill the mold. Rod the second layer with
41、the tamping rod penetrating 12 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 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
42、 flat surface that is even with the top edge of themold and that has no depressions or projections larger than 18 in. (3.2 mm). Cover immediately with a damp absorbent materialNOTE 1Front masonry unit not shown to allow view of specimen.FIG. 2 Grout Mold (Units Greater than 6 in. (152.4 mm) High, 8
43、in. (203.2 mm) High Concrete Masonry Unit Shown)C1019 163such 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.9.5 Within Between 15 and 30
44、min after filling the mold, add sufficient grout without rodding to fill the depression caused byinitial water loss. Strike off the top surface of the specimen with a straightedge to produce a flat surface that is even with the topedge of the mold. Cover immediately with a damp absorbent material su
45、ch as cloth or paper towel. Keep the top surface of thespecimen damp by wetting the absorbent material and covering with a nonabsorbent, nonreactive material. Do not disturb thespecimen until the molds are removed.NOTE 9The viscosity of self-consolidating grout changes with time. Thus the depression
46、 may require filling prior to the thirty minute limit.9.6 Protect 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
47、final curing environment.NOTE 10If storage temperatures are less 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 Specimens10.1 Remove the molds between 24 and 48 h after
48、 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 delaying mol
49、d 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. Store there until day of testing.10.5 Store there until day of testing. Keep specimen damp until tested.10.6 Measure and record the width of each face at mid-height. Measure and record the heigh
