Significance and Use3
6、.1 This test method is intended to provide a simple andeconomical means for the determination of comparative valuesof flexural bond strength. It may be used either on specimensespecially fabricated for bond strength evaluation or on speci-mens cut from existing masonry.3.2 The bond strengths determi
7、ned from this test methodcan be used as a means of evaluating the compatibility ofmortars and masonry units. It may also be used to determinethe effect on flexural bond strength of such factors as masonryunit and mortar properties, workmanship, curing conditions,coatings on masonry units, or any oth
8、er factors that may be ofconcern.3.3 Flexural bond strength determined by this test methodshould not be interpreted as the flexural bond strength of a wallconstructed of the same material. However, results may beused to predict the flexural strength of a wall. Nor should it beinterpreted as an indic
9、ation of extent of bond for purposes ofwater permeance evaluation.4. Apparatus4.1 The test apparatus is shown in Figs. 1-4. The upper andlower clamping mechanisms shall be constructed as shown,except that the hex head bolts are permitted to be replaced byother tightening devices of equal, or greater
10、, strength andstiffness. The support frame shall be constructed as shown orshall be constructed using configurations and materials ofequal, or greater, strength and stiffness. The testing apparatusshall be constructed to apply the load vertically downward onthe upper clamping system in such a manner
11、 that the upper andlower clamp do not come in contact during the tests. The prismsupport system shall be able to accommodate the size of theprism to be tested.5.

16、on shall be determined in accordance with therequirements of Specification C 270 or Test Method C 780.6. Test Specimen6.1 The test specimen shall consist of one or more prism(s).Each prism shall have not more than five joints and a minimumwidth (b) of 3.5 in. (see Note 2) as shown in Fig. X1.1.NOTE
17、2It is recommended that a width (b) of 1 full masonry unit beused. However, full widths may not be possible for samples obtained inaccordance with 6.3.2.6.2 Test a minimum of fifteen joints for prisms fabricated inthe laboratory or field, and five joints for prisms removed fromexisting masonry.6.3 C
18、onstruct prisms in a laboratory or in the field orremove from existing masonry. Keep handling of the prisms toa minimum and handle in such a way that the joints will not besubjected to detrimental tensile stresses.6.3.1 Prisms Fabricated in Laboratory or Field:6.3.1.1 Set the first unit of each pris
19、m on a firm, horizontalsurface without the use of mortar.NOTE 3An alignment device may be used to ensure plumbness andjoint thickness uniformity.6.3.1.2 Place a full or face shell mortar bed on all unitswithout furrowing unless the effect of furrowing is beingstudied.6.3.1.3 Immediately place the ne
20、xt course on the mortar bedand tap it to proper level and joint thickness. One face of eachprism shall be in a nearly true plane.6.3.1.4 Repeat 6.3.1.2 and 6.3.1.3 until the prisms are thedesired height. Identify all specimens using a water-resistantmarker.6.3.1.5 Depending upon the desired test con
21、ditions, strikeflush or tool the mortar joints. If tooling is required, tool onlythe joints on one face of each prism.6.3.1.6 Unless specified otherwise, enclose all prisms in amoisture-tight bag and cure for 28 days. Record and report thedaily high and low temperatures in the area where specimensar
22、e stored for curing. For prisms cured in laboratory air,maintain the laboratory air at 75 6 15 F (24 6 8 C). If othercuring conditions (e.g. no moisture-tight bag) are specified,record and report all details of the curing.NOTE 4Workmanship during fabrication, temperature of the materialsduring fabri
23、cation, curing conditions, time between removal from moistcuring to test, and other factors may affect the bond strengths measured bythis test. Standardized specimen fabrication and curing procedures thatattempt to control these variables are prescribed in Test Methods C 1357.6.3.1.7 When prisms are
24、 made during construction at the jobsite, they shall be constructed in a location where they will notbe disturbed, but will be subjected to atmospheric conditionssimilar to those in the masonry structure whose properties theyare intended to represent.6.3.2 Prisms Obtained from Existing Masonry:6.3.2
25、.1 Remove, document and transport prisms from exist-ing masonry in accordance with Practice C 1532.6.3.2.2 Where mortar fins and extrusions project from thespecimen to the extent that they may interfere with theFIG. 1 Bond Wrench Testing ApparatusC1072062attachment of the bond wrench, they shall be
26、removed withoutcausing damage to the specimen. Remove only enough mate-rial to enable proper attachment of the bond wrench.7. Procedure7.1 Place the prism vertically in the support frame as shownin Fig. 1, and clamp firmly into a locked position using thelower clamping bracket. Orient the prism so t
27、hat the face of thejoint intended to be subjected to flexural tension is on the sameside of the specimen as the clamping screws. The prism shallbe positioned at the required elevation that results in a singlebrick projecting above the lower clamping bracket.7.2 Attach the upper clamping bracket to t
28、he top brick asshown in Fig. 1. Tighten each clamping bolt using a torque notgreater than 50 lbfin. (5.7 Nm).7.3 Lower base support away from the bottom of the brickprism so that no contact occurs during testing.7.4 Apply the load at a uniform rate so that the total load isapplied in not less than 1
29、 min or more than 3 min. Measureload (see Note 5) to an accuracy of 62 % with maximum errorof 5 lbf (22 N).NOTE 5The load indicated in Fig. 1 may be applied by any means,such as a testing machine, hydraulic jack, dead weights, etc. but must bewithin 63 of vertical. Load may be measured using the tes
30、ting machineindicator, proving ring, load cell, or any device capable of the prescribedprecision. Special attention must be given to non-recording load measur-ing devices. Since failure of the specimen is sudden, the device must becontinuously monitored or the failure load will be lost.FIG. 2 Bond W
