Summary of Test Method4.1 Asample of freshly-mixed self-consolidating
10、concrete isplaced in a cylindrical mold without tamping or vibration. Themold is separated into three sections representing differentlevels of the cylindrical specimen (or column). Portions ofconcrete from the top and bottom section are washed on a 4.75mm No. 4 sieve, leaving the coarse aggregate on
11、 the sieve.The masses of coarse aggregate in the top and the bottomsections are determined and the percent static segregation iscalculated.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method provides users with a laboratoryprocedure to determine the potential static segregation ofself-consolidating concrete
12、.5.2 This test method shall be used to develop self-consolidating concrete mixtures with segregation not exceed-ing specified limits. Self-consolidating concrete is a fluidconcrete that can be prone to segregation if not proportioned tobe cohesive. A cohesive self-consolidating concrete is impor-tan
13、t for all applications but is especially critical for deep-section applications such as walls or columns. Therefore, thedegree of segregation can indicate if a mixture is suitable forthe application.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee C09 onConcrete and Concrete Aggregates

The column shall be8 in. 200 mm in diameter 3 26 in. 660 mm in height andseparated into 3 sections.
18、The top section shall be 6.5 in. 165mm in height, the middle section 13 in. 330 mm in height,and the bottom section 6.5 in. 165 mm in height, as shown inFig. 1. Each section shall have its ends flat and plane and bemarked as “Top”, “ Middle”, or “Bottom” relative to itslocation in the column. Couple
19、rs, brackets, clamps, or otherequivalent fastening systems shall be used for securing thecolumn sections together to form a mortar-tight joint and tosecure the column to the base plate. The column mold shall besecurely attached to a non-absorbent, rigid base plate measur-ing at least 12 in. 300 mm 3
