1、Designation: C1072 10Standard Test Methods forMeasurement of Masonry Flexural Bond Strength1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C1072; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A num
2、ber in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope*1.1 These test methods evaluate the flexural bond strength,n
3、ormal to the bed joints, of masonry built of manufacturedmasonry units. Sampling and testing procedures are referenced,and terms are defined. Three different specimen fabricationmethods are specified, each for a different purpose:1.1.1 The first method is the “Test Method for Laboratory-Prepared Spe
4、cimens.” Its purpose is to compare the bondstrengths (under the given conditions) of masonry mortars. Itcould be used, for example, to check the quality of mortarproducts after production, or to indicate the bond strength(under the given conditions) of a mortar product withoutrequiring the product t
5、o be tested in combination with manydifferent units. It is not intended to represent field conditions.It uses standard concrete masonry units. Mortars are batchedby weight equivalents of volume proportions and are mixed toa prescribed flow. Prisms are constructed using a jig and arebag-cured.1.1.2 T
6、he second method is the “Test Method for Field-Prepared Specimens.” Its purpose is to evaluate the bondstrength (under the given conditions) of a particular unit-mortarcombination, either for preconstruction evaluation of materialsor for quality control purposes during construction. Mortars arebatch
7、ed conventionally, and the flow is not prescribed. Prismsare constructed conventionally (no jig) and are bag-cured.1.1.3 The third method is the “Test Method for PrismsRemoved from Existing Masonry.” Its purpose is to evaluatethe bond strength of unit-mortar combinations of prisms cutfrom existing w
8、alls.1.1.4 The three methods are not consistent, nor are theyintended to be. They are intended to be used for three differentpurposes. To make this clear, the three methods are presentedseparately.1.1.5 Appendix X1 suggests two possible criteria for assess-ing the bond strength values obtained using
9、 these test methods.These possible evaluation criteria are given for illustration onlyand are not mandatory.1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas the standard. The values given in parentheses are mathemati-cal conversions to SI units that are provided for informationonly and
10、 are not considered standard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations

Mortars are batched by weight equivalents of volume
19、proportions and are mixed to a prescribed flow. Prisms areconstructed using a jig and are bag-cured.NOTE 1Standard fired clay masonry units are under development butare not now available. When their development is complete, they will beincorporated into these test methods.5. Significance and Use5.1

41、.11. Precision and Bias11.1 PrecisionPublished data are not available for within-laboratory variability of this test method. Published data(Hedstrom,5Melander6) obtained under conditions almostidentical with those of this test method show within-batchcoefficients of variation varying between 10 % an
42、d 25 % for30-joint samples of selected portland cement-lime mortars andmasonry cement mortars. Because only one sample of eachmortar was tested in each laboratory, sufficient data are notavailable to establish repeatability for this test method. Inter-laboratory testing is now planned to determine t
43、he reproduc-ibility of this test method. It is the intent of this committee todevelop precision values within five years from the date ofissuance of this test method.11.2 BiasNo information can be presented on the bias ofthis test method because no test having an accepted referencevalue is available
44、.TEST METHOD FOR FIELD-PREPARED SPECIMENS12. Summary of Test Method12.1 This test method is for evaluating the flexural bondstrength (under the given conditions) of masonry built ofconventional masonry units. Mortars are batched convention-ally, and their flow is not prescribed. Prisms are construct
45、edconventionally (no jig) and are bag-cured.13. Significance and Use13.1 This test method is intended for evaluation of flexuralbond strength (under the given conditions) between mortar andunits.13.2 The purpose of this test method is to evaluate the bondstrength (under the given conditions) of a pa
46、rticular unit-mortarcombination, either for preconstruction evaluation of materialsor for quality control purposes during construction. Precon-struction field tests may be used to provide information on thepotential performance of a mortar-unit combination under fieldconditions of fabrication and wo
47、rkmanship (but not curing).Construction field tests may be used as a quality controlmeasure to ensure that performance criteria established inpreconstruction tests are being met.13.3 Flexural bond strength determined by this test methodshall not be interpreted as the flexural bond strength of a wall
48、constructed of the same material, nor shall it be interpreted asan indication of extent of bond for purposes of water perme-ability evaluation. However, if effects of construction condi-tions, specimen size, workmanship, and curing conditions aretaken into account, the results may be used to estimat
49、e theflexural strength of a wall.14.
