16、its and masonry specimens extracted from the field are expected to varyfrom and will likely be less than test results of masonry units that have not been placed in service or masonry prisms that have been constructed withina controlled environment. Comparison of results of tests conducted on specime
17、ns removed from service to those of masonry units prior to use or ofconstructed prisms is difficult. Considerable judgment is typically required for the selection and preparation of specimens removed from service.5. Inspection of Specimens5.1 Specimens shall be selected, removed from service, and sh
18、ipped in accordance to Practice C1532C1532/C1532M.5.2 Carefully remove specimens from transportation packaging. Visually inspect specimens. Compare received specimens withvisual assessment as reported under Practice C1532C1532/C1532M. Note additional damage, if any, contained within eachspecimen.5.2
19、.1 If specimen shipment does not include a visual assessment report, note the report as missing as part of the subsequent testreport and document condition of each specimen as received.5.3 Take photographs of specimens as received to document condition prior to any preparation for testing.6.

20、tion for Compressive Strength Testing6.1 Preparation of Units and Prisms : Prisms:6.1.1 Unless required by the testing procedure that will be subsequently used to evaluate the specimen, do not oven dry the testspecimens.6.1.2 Remove all unsound material and smooth irregularities of the units or maso
21、nry specimens bearing surfaces using amethod that will not affect the integrity of the unit or masonry specimen to produce a test specimen, either a unit or a prism, thatis no more than 3 mm 18 in.

22、plumb over 12 in. (305 mm).300 mm 12 in.6.1.3 Test specimens are subsequently capped to provide a level-bearing surface for compressive strength testing. Therefore, itis not necessary to remove portions of hardened mortar in recesses of masonry.6.1.4 Ungrouted masonry specimens are particularly susc
23、eptible to damage during handling and preparation for testing. Usecare to limit the potential damage to the bond between mortar and manufactured masonry units in the masonry specimen.6.1.5 If necessary, remove sound material to produce a more suitable test specimen.6.1.6 If possible, avoid producing
24、 test specimens containing unsupported protrusions (from face shells or webs of hollow units)whose lengths are more than twice their thickness.Limit protrusions to those allowed in the appropriate test procedure.6.1.7 If possible, avoid saw-cuts that reduce the thickness of the webs and face shells
25、of hollow units or prisms.6.1.8 If possible, prepare test specimens to minimize variations in length and width provided such preparation does not damagethe test specimen.6.1.9 Remove loose and unsound mortar. Remove excess mortar that would interfere with capping from the top and bottom ofbearing su
26、rfaces of the unit or prism. However, if such removal is expected to do more harm to the test specimen than good, leavemortar in place.6.1.10 Discard all test specimens that are damaged as a result of removing unsound material. Resulting damage is assessed bycomparing visible cracking, or chipping o
27、n the unit or prism after removal to that documented under 6.1.2 and 6.1.3. Do not discardtest specimens if resulting damage occurs in portions of the test specimen that will be subsequently cut or otherwise modified sothat the damaged portion of the masonry unit or masonry specimen will not be test

30、r partially filled with grout or mortar should not be used to determine the compressive strength of the masonryunits or of the masonry assembly. If evaluation of grouted masonry is desired, it should be performed on masonry assemblies meeting the requirementsof Section 6.3.6.3 Masonry Prisms:6.3.1 T
31、he masonry prisms shall:6.3.1.1 Include at least one bed joint,6.3.1.2 Have an aspect ratio (height divided by least lateral dimension) between 1.3 and 5,6.3.1.3 Have a height defined by at least two units, each of which are no less than one-half the full height of a typical unit,6.3.1.4 Have a mini
32、mum length of 12 unit and a maximum length of 2 units, and6.3.1.5 Not contain vertical reinforcement.6.3.2 For prisms containing units of varying sizes and/or shapes, unit height and length shall be considered that of the largestunit height or the largest unit length within the prism, respectively.C

Remove only enough material to enable proper attachmentof the bond wrench apparatus defined in Test Method C1072.7.2 Do not discard test specimens if resulting damage occurs in portions of the test specimen that wil
