Corrosion Protection of Steel Reinforcement in AAC7.1 Apparatus:7.1.1 Storage Container, with dimensions sufficient to com-pletely immerse AAC specimens.7.2 Test SpecimensA test set shall consist of six testspecimens hav
16、ing the dimensions 16 in. (400 mm) by width ofthe reinforced element by thickness of the reinforced element.The exposed surface areas of the steel reinforcement at eachend of the test specimen shall be coated with the corrosion-protection compound and allowed to dry before testing. Threespecimens ar
17、e to be kept as reference specimens, and threespecimens shall be tested.7.3 Procedure:7.3.1 Reference SpecimensStore the reference specimensin a room having a temperature of 59 to 68F (15 to 20C) anda relative humidity of 50 to 70 %.7.3.2 Test SpecimensImmerse the test specimens in anaqueous sodium
18、chloride solution, 3 % sodium chloride (NaCl)by mass, for periods of2hatintervals of three days. Repeat fora total of ten test cycles. When the specimens are not immersedin the sodium chloride solution, store them under the sameconditions as the reference specimens.After completing the tentesting cy
19、cles, allow the specimens to air dry for 4 h.7.3.3 Inspection for RustAfter completing the testingprocedure, remove the autoclaved aerated concrete around thesteel reinforcement in the reference specimen and the testspecimens. By visual inspection, determine the area of rustcovering the steel and ex
20、press that area as a percentage of thetotal area of the specimen, using the following calculation:At5pn1d1l11pn2d2l2mm2! (1)Ar5 ( wilimm2! (2)Pr5 100 Ar/At! (3)where:At= total surface of reinforcement present in the specimen(mm2)n1= number of longitudinal reinforcing rods,d1= diameter of the longitu
21、dinal reinforcing rods (mm),l1= length of the longitudinal reinforcing rods (mm),n2= number of transverse reinforcing rods,d2= diameter of transverse reinforcing rods (mm),l2= length of the transverse reinforcing rods (mm),Ar= area of rusted surface,wi= unrolled width of the corroded surface,li= len
22、gth of the corroded surface, andPr= percentage of surface area which is rusted.The total area of corroded surface shall be reported as theaverage total area for the three test and the three referencespecimens.8. Weld-Point Shear Strength8.1 ApparatusPerform this test using the device shown inFig. 1
23、or an equivalent device that can be fitted into a normaltension testing machine.8.2 SpecimenUse a specimen of the shape shown in Fig.2. Take specimens at random from welded mats of reinforce-ment that have not been coated with a corrosion-resistantcompound. The bar with the largest diameter shall be
24、 selectedas the test specimen. Do not fabricate special test specimens forthis test, except for initial qualification of the welding device.8.3 ProcedureGrip the specimen in the test fixture so thatthe tension bar is centrally located and rotation of the anchor-ing bar is prevented. Load at a rate n

Shipping and Handling of Reinforced AAC Elements9.1 Protect rein
26、forced AAC elements from damage duringshipping by placement on pallets or other supports, banding ofthe elements, placement of material between the elements, orany other method deemed appropriate by the AAC manufac-turer. Handle reinforced AAC elements using lifting devices orclamps recommended by t
27、he AAC manufacturer.10. Visual Inspection10.1 All elements shall be sound and free of defects thatwould interfere with the proper placement of the unit or impairthe strength or permanence of the construction. Minor imper-fections incidental to the usual methods of manufacture, orresulting from custo
28、mary methods of handling in shipment anddelivery, shall not be deemed grounds for rejection.TABLE 1 Properties of Steel ReinforcementProperty Minimum Characteristic ValueYield strength, min, ksi (MPa) 70 (485)Tensile strength, min, ksi (MPa) 80 (550)Reduction of area, min, % 30AAFor material testing
