18、 shouldform a part of the basis for a decision as to whether precautionsbe taken against excessive expansion due to alkali-carbonaterock reaction. This decision should be made before a particularcement-aggregate combination is used in concrete construction(see Note 1).NOTE 1Other elements that may b

20、 on a particular cement-aggregate combination, itwill usually be very useful to conduct control tests in parallelusing the aggregate of interest with other cements or thecement of interest with other aggregates.5.

When petrographic examination using Guide C 295reveals that the material making up the size fractions largerthan the 19.0-mm sieve is of such a composition and lithologythat no differences should be expected compared with thesmaller size material to be tested, or when tests,

27、valuate a particularcement-aggregate combination for use in particular work, thecement or cements used shall meet the requirements for thework and shall be from the source or sources and in theamounts expected to be used in the work. If several cementsmay be used in the work, it is desirable that te

In the event that no specific concretemixture is being considered, that described in Test MethodC 233 shall be used.8.2 If control

Precision and Bias413.1 Precision:13.1.1 Single-Operator PrecisionThe precision statementis based on calculations made using data reported by Buck (2).The parti
38、cular within-laboratory variability for which precisionis reported was obtained by a single operator, using the samematerials and equipment over a short period of time. Thesingle-operator standard deviation (1sA) does not vary appre-ciably with age over the range of 90 through 365 days.Standard devi

41、.2 Multilaboratory PrecisionIn studies involving 12and 20 laboratories (8,9), testing three specimens rather thanthe six specified in this test method, and testing nominal 19 mmmaximum size coarse aggregates known to be susceptible toalkalicarbonate rock reaction, in concrete mixtures with acement c
42、ontent of 310 kg/m3, the multilaboratory precisionwas found to be as follows:13.1.2.1 For concrete with an average expansion less than0.014 % the multilaboratory standard deviation of a single testresult (mean of measurements on three prisms) for averageexpansion less than 0.014 % has been found to
43、be 0.0032 %.Therefore, results of two properly conducted tests in differentlaboratories using the same aggregate should not differ by morethan 0.009 %.513.1.2.2 For concrete with an average expansion greaterthan 0.014 % the multilaboratory coefficient of variation of asingle test result (mean of mea
44、surements on three prisms) foraverage expansion greater than 0.014 % has been found to be23 %. Therefore, results of two properly conducted tests indifferent laboratories using the same aggregate should notdiffer from each other by more than 65 % of their average.513.2 BiasA statement on bias has no
45、t been developedsince no reference materials are available.APPENDIX(Nonmandatory Information)X1. GENERAL INFORMATIONX1.1 The question of whether or not criterion based on theresults obtained using this test method should be used foracceptance of materials for use as concrete aggregate will bedealt w
46、ith, if deemed appropriate, in Specification C33.X1.2 Work has been reported from which it may be inferredthat a cement-aggregate combination might reasonably beclassified as potentially deleteriously reactive if the averageexpansion of six concrete specimens is equal to or greater than:0.015 % at 3
47、 months; 0.025 % at 6 months; or 0.030 % at 1year (1,2). Data for later ages are preferred but the 3-month or6-month average may be used if necessary.X1.3 If this test method has been performed on a cement-aggregate combination involving an aggregate that has notbeen examined petrographically using
48、Practice C 295, or thathas not been measured by the rock prism expansion in TestMethod C 586, it is recommended that one or both of those4Supporting data have been filed at ASTM International Headquarters and maybe obtained by requesting Research Report RR: C09-1002.5These numbers represent, respect
