3、trength, normal to the bed joints, of masonry built of manufactured masonryunits. Sampling and testing procedures are referenced, and terms are defined. Three different specimen fabrication methods arespecified, each for a different purpose:1.1.1 The first method is the “Test Method for Laboratory-P
4、repared Specimens.” Its purpose is to compare the bond strengths(under the given conditions) of masonry mortars. It could be used, for example, to check the quality of mortar products afterproduction, or to indicate the bond strength (under the given conditions) of a mortar product without requiring
5、 the product to betested in combination with many different units. It is not intended to represent field conditions. It uses standard concrete masonryunits. Mortars are batched by weight equivalents of volume proportions and are mixed to a prescribed flow. Prisms are constructedusing a jig and are b
6、ag-cured.1.1.2 The second method is the “Test Method for Field-Prepared Specimens.” Its purpose is to evaluate the bond strength (underthe given conditions) of a particular unit-mortar combination, either for preconstruction evaluation of materials or for qualitycontrol purposes during construction.
7、 Mortars are batched conventionally, and the flow is not prescribed. Prisms are constructedconventionally (no jig) and are bag-cured.1.1.3 The third method is the “Test Method for Prisms Removed from Existing Masonry.” Its purpose is to evaluate the bondstrength of unit-mortar combinations of prisms
8、 cut from existing walls.1.1.4 The three methods are not consistent, nor are they intended to be. They are intended to be used for three different purposes.To make this clear, the three methods are presented separately.1.1.5 Appendix X1 suggests two possible criteria for assessing the bond strength

It uses standard concrete masonry units. Mortars are batched by weight equivalents of volume proportio
20、ns and aremixed to a prescribed flow. Prisms are constructed using a jig and are bag-cured.NOTE 1Standard fired clay masonry units are under development but are not now available. When their development is complete, they will beincorporated into these test methods.5. Significance and Use5.1 This tes
21、t method is intended for use in comparing the bond strengths (under the given conditions) of masonry mortars.5.2 This test method could be used, for example, to check one aspect of the quality of mortar products after production, or toindicate the bond potential of a mortar product without requiring
22、 the product to be tested in combination with many different units.5.3 This test method uses controlled conditions of fabrication and curing that are not intended to represent field conditions.5.4 This test method uses standard concrete masonry units.

Temperature and Humidity8.1 Maintain the temperature of laboratory air in the vicinity of mixing of mortar, fabrication of specimens, curing, and testingof specimens at 75 6 15F (24 6 8C).8.2 Main
29、tain the relative humidity of laboratory air in the vicinity of mixing of mortar, fabrication of specimens, and testingof specimens between 30 and 80 %.9. Procedure9.1 Fabricate a set of stack-bonded test prisms (any convenient number of prisms) containing a total of not less than 15 mortarjoints. E
30、ach prism shall have no more than 5 joints.9.1.1 Proportion mortar materials by weights equivalent to volume proportions to be used in prism construction. Use unitweights for individual materials as given in Specification C270. Sand shall be permitted to be used in a damp loose condition,provided th
31、at moisture content of sand is determined with reference to the oven-dried condition and batch proportions are adjustedaccordingly. Record weight of ingredients (including water) added to the batch of mortar.9.1.2 Mix mortar in a mechanical paddle-type mortar mixer. Time periods referenced below are
32、 measured from when water andcementitious materials are combined.9.1.2.1 For standard concrete masonry units, add an estimated amount of water to the mortar to achieve a flow of 127 6 3determined in accordance with Test Method C1437. Mix mortar for 3 min and determine flow. Once flow is recorded, re
33、turn thematerial used to measure flow to the mixer. If the flow is 127 6 3, continue mixing the batch for an additional 2 min. If the flowis less than 124, add water to the batch, mix for 1 min, and determine flow. Once flow is recorded, return the material used tomeasure flow to the mixer. If the f
34、low is 127 6 3, continue mixing the batch for 1 min.9.1.2.2 If after the one-time addition of water the flow is not 127 6 3, discard the batch.9.1.2.3 If the measured flow exceeds 130 at any time, discard the batch.9.1.3 Immediately after mixing the mortar, determine its initial cone penetration in
35、accordance with Test Method C780.Determine the cone penetration of the mortar every 15 6 5 min. If the cone penetration is less than 80 % of its initial value, discardthe remaining portion of the mortar without constructing additional mortar joints.9.1.4 Use standard concrete masonry units as define
36、d in Annex A1. Clean the bed surface of units of dirt, loose sand, or othercontaminants.9.1.5 Fabricate prism specimens as described in Annex A2.9.1.6 Cure prism specimens in accordance with Annex A2.9.2 Conduct bond-wrench tests on prism specimens.9.2.1 Test the prisms in the same facility where th
37、ey were built.9.2.2 Test masonry prisms in accordance with Annex A3. Determine the flexural tensile strength of each mortar joint tested, asdescribed in Annex A3.NOTE 2When test ages other than 28 days are specified, the general relationship between the strength at the specified test age and that at
38、 28 daysis generally established by test. That relationship may vary with different materials and curing conditions.10. Report10.1 Report the following information:10.1.1 Identify mortar materials and units tested, including as applicable the manufacturers name, brand name, type, grade,source of sam

Precision and Bias11.1 Precisio
43、nPublished data are not available for within-laboratory variability of this test method. Published data(Hedstrom,5 Melander6) obtained under conditions almost identical with those of this test method show within-batch coefficientsof variation varying between 10 % and 25 % for 30-joint samples of sel
44、ected portland cement-lime mortars and masonry cementmortars. Because only one sample of each mortar was tested in each laboratory, sufficient data are not available to establishrepeatability for this test method. Inter-laboratory testing is now planned to determine the reproducibility of this test
45、method. Itis the intent of this committee to develop precision values within five years from the date of issuance of this test method.11.2 BiasNo information can be presented on the bias of this test method because no test having an accepted reference valueis available.TEST METHOD FOR FIELD-PREPARED
46、 SPECIMENS12. Summary of Test Method12.1 This test method is for evaluating the flexural bond strength (under the given conditions) of masonry built of conventionalmasonry units. Mortars are batched conventionally, and their flow is not prescribed. Prisms are constructed conventionally (no jig)and a
47、re bag-cured.13. Significance and Use13.1 This test method is intended for evaluation of flexural bond strength (under the given conditions) between mortar and units.13.2 The purpose of this test method is to evaluate the bond strength (under the given conditions) of a particular unit-mortarcombinat
48、ion, either for preconstruction evaluation of materials or for quality control purposes during construction. Preconstructionfield tests may be used to provide information on the potential performance of a mortar-unit combination under field conditionsof fabrication and workmanship (but not curing).
49、Construction field tests may be used as a quality control measure to ensure thatperformance criteria established in preconstruction tests are being met.13.3 Flexural bond strength determined by this test method shall not be interpreted as the flexural bond strength of a wallconstructed of the same material, nor shall it be interpreted as an indication of extent of bond for purposes of water permeabilityevaluation. However, if effects of construction conditions, specimen size, workmanship, and curing conditions are taken intoaccount, the results may be used to estimat
