These ma

The name of the specific material should be used,for example, use “pozzolan,” “slag cement,” or “finely divided aggregate,” as is appropriate.retarding admixture,nadmixture that retards the setting of concrete.

(2011)DISCUSSIONCalibration takes into account systematic error (or bias) of the measuring
46、 instrument or system as well as random error that is associated with the useof the measurement instrument or system and error associated with the measurement standards or certified reference materials. Calibration should notbe confused with an adjustment of a measuring instrument or with verificati
47、on of a measuring instrument. Sometimes the first step alone is mistakenlycalled calibration, but performing only the first step is the process of standardization. In tests of concrete and concrete aggregates, standardizationof measuring instruments or systems is often sufficient.cellular concretese
