Thus, actual field performance will not be dupli-cated due to differences in wetting and drying, temperature,other factors, or combinations of these (see Appendix X1).4.3 Use of this test method is of particular value whensamples of aggregate from a source h
18、ave been determined tocontain constituents that are regarded as capable of participa-tion in a potentially deleterious alkali-carbonate rock reactioneither by petrographic examination, Guide C295, by the rockcylinder test, Test Method C586, by service record; or by acombination of these.4.4 Results
19、of tests conducted as described herein 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 N
20、ote 1).NOTE 1Other elements that may be included in the decision-makingprocess for categorizing an aggregate or a cement-aggregate combinationwith respect to whether precautions are needed, and examples of precau-tions that may be taken, are described in Appendix X1.4.5 While the basic intent of thi
21、s test method is to developinformation 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. Apparatus5.1 The molds, the associated items for
22、 molding testspecimens, and the length comparator for measuring lengthchange shall conform to the applicable requirements of TestMethod C157/C157M and Practice C490, and the molds shallhave nominal 75-mm square cross sections.6. Materials6.1 Maximum Size of Coarse AggregateCoarse-aggregatefractions
23、larger than the 19.0-mm sieve shall not be tested assuch. When petrographic examination using Guide C295reveals 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 mater
24、ial to be tested, or when tests, made inaccordance with Test Method C586, of material in such sizesreveal no significant differences from the sizes to be tested,then no further attention need be paid to the larger sizes. Ifresults of petrographic examination or tests made in accor-dance with Test Me
25、thod C586 suggest that the larger sizematerial should be studied for its effects in concrete, one or theother of two alternative procedures described herein may beused.6.1.1 Proportional TestingMaterial larger than the19.0-mm sieve shall be crushed to pass the 19.0-mm sieve andmaterial larger than t
26、he 4.75-mm sieve shall be proportioned toinclude the same proportion by mass of the crushed materialoriginally retained on the 19.0-mm sieve and that originallypassing this sieve, as may be expected to be used in the fieldconcrete.6.1.2 Separated Size TestingMaterial larger than the19.0-mm sieve sha
27、ll be crushed to pass this sieve and shall beused in concrete as a second aggregate.6.1.2.1 In the case of construction where several size rangescoarser than the 19.0-mm sieve are contemplated, each of thesemay, if desired, be separately crushed to pass this sieve andmay be tested separately.6.2 Job
28、 CementWhen it is desired to evaluate 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
29、 work, it is desirable that tests be made usingeach cement separately.6.3 Reference CementsWhen it is desired to evaluateaggregates for general use or to compare aggregates forinvestigational purposes, the cement used shall be of thehighest alkali content representative of the general useintended, o
30、r available to the laboratory making the tests. Thecement or cements selected should comply with SpecificationC150 or Specification C595. Additional information of valuemay be obtained by conducting parallel tests with cements ofdifferent alkali content, of different sodium oxide to potassiumoxide r

32、with alkalies(see Note 2) shall be used.NOTE 2Advice on judging the expansive reactivity of aggregate isgiven in Appendix XI of Specification C33.7.
