United States14. Significance and Use
16、4.1 This practice is intended to be used for stiff to extremely dry concrete mixtures commonly used in roller-compacted concreteconstruction. This practice is used instead of rodding or internal vibration, which cannot properly consolidate concrete of thisconsistency (Note 1).NOTE 1Further descripti
17、on of this concrete consistency is given in ACI 207.5 Roller-Compacted Mass Concrete3 and 211.3 Guide for SelectingProportions for No-Slump Concrete3. The consistency of roller-compacted concrete may be determined in accordance with Test Method C1170C1170/C1170M.5. Apparatus5.1 Molds:5.1.1 Type A Mo

27、ecifications for the sinusoidal vibration given in 7.1.5.3 Swivel Arm and Guide SleeveA metal guide sleeve with a clamp assembly or other suitable holding device mounted ona swivel arm. The swivel arm and guide sleeve must be capable of holding a metal shaft attached to a 9-kg 20-lb cylindrical mass
28、in a position perpendicular to the vibrating surface and allowing the shaft to slide freely when the clamp is released. The swivelarm must be capable of maintaining the guide sleeve in a locked position directly over the center of the specimens to be vibrated.The swivel arm shall also be capable of

36、under simulated test conditions prior to initial useand annually thereafter. A vibrating reed tachometer should be used to check the frequency of vibration.7.2 Recalibrate the vibrating table after any event (including repairs) that might affect its operation, or whenever test results arequestionabl
37、e.8. Technical Precautions8.1 When obtaining samples, ensure that the samples are representative of the material being sampled.8.2 Concrete with stiff to extremely dry consistency is highly susceptible to segregation during handling. To minimizesegregation, use care in obtaining samples and during t
38、ransporting, remixing, and testing of the concrete.8.3 After at least every three months of continued use, inspect and clean the underside of the vibrating table top of any hardenedconcrete or cement paste which may interfere with free movement of the table top.9. Procedure9.1 Method AType A Molds:9
39、.1.1 Coat Type A molds with a suitable lubricant or bond breaker prior to casting the test specimens to facilitate removal fromthe mold.9.1.2 Place the mold on the vibrating table, and center the surcharge so that the edges of the plastic plate do not touch the wallsof the mold. Lower the surcharge
40、into the mold to check for proper clearance. Attach the mold to the vibrating table, and firmlytighten the wing nuts. Move the surcharge away from the mold.9.1.3 Place enough concrete in the mold so that the mold will be filled to one-third of its volume after consolidation(approximately 4.5 kg 9.5
41、lb). A tamping rod may be used to distribute the loose concrete as it is added. During filling, usesquare-ended shovels and scoops to obtain representative samples, and handle the concrete in such a manner that larger sizedcoarse aggregate particles do not separate from the mortar.9.1.4 Move the sur
42、charge over the center of the mold, release the guide sleeve clamp, and place the surcharge gently on the looseconcrete. The surcharge shall be able to vertically slide free without binding on the guide sleeve.9.1.5 If the surcharge cannot be centered in the mold without binding on the inside wall o
43、f the mold, place the surcharge directlyonto the specimen in the mold without use of the guide sleeve, and hold the surcharge shaft perpendicular to the top of the table.Hold the surcharge shaft manually while vibrating the specimen. Do not apply any additional hand pressure to the surcharge whenman
44、ually holding the surcharge.9.1.6 Start the vibrator table, and allow the concrete to consolidate under the surcharge. Using a flashlight, observe the concretein the annular space between the edge of the surcharge and the inside wall of the mold. As the concrete consolidates, mortar willfill in the
45、annular space between the outer edge of the surcharge and the inside mold wall. Observe the mortar until it forms a ringaround the total perimeter of the surcharge. When the mortar ring forms completely around the surcharge, stop the vibrator. If thewing nuts loosen while casting the specimen, retig
46、hten the wing nuts, then continue vibrating to ensure complete consolidation ofthe specimen.9.1.7 If a rock pocket prevents the mortar ring from forming at one small location, even though it has formed in all otherlocations, the vibrator can be stopped and another layer of concrete added. If a signi
47、ficant portion of the mortar ring does not form,this indicates the concrete may have insufficient mortar due to either improper sampling, segregation, or improper mixtureproportioning. In these instances, the concrete specimen should be visually inspected after stripping from the mold, and a decisio
48、nthen made whether to accept or reject the specimen.9.1.8 Repeat the procedure in 9.1.3 through 9.1.7 for the second lift of concrete, filling the mold to approximately two-thirdsof its volume. For the third lift, overfill the mold by mounding the concrete above the top of the mold. Again, place the
49、 surchargeon the loose concrete and consolidate. If the surcharge consolidates concrete below the top level of the mold, turn off the vibratingtable. Place additional concrete in the mold so that, when consolidated, the concrete will be about 3 mm 18 in. above the topof the mold. Continue vibrating, and slide the surcharge back and forth across the top of the mold until the compacted concreteis level with the top of the mold. This replaces strikeoff with a float since stiff concrete
