A number in parentheses indic
2、ates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers fly ash brick intended for usein masonry, which are made from fly ash, water, and suitablemineral aggregates with or without the inclusi
3、on of othermaterials, and without the use of portland cement. Thisspecification covers units intended for use in masonry, in bothstructural and facing applications.1.2 Units covered under this specification include a fly ashbinder that undergoes hydraulic, pozzolanic, alkali-activated,or geopolymer
4、reactions, or any combination thereof. Thesechemical reactions, in conjunction with the other materials inthe units, provide the strength and durability necessary to meetthe requirements of this specification.NOTE 1This specification addresses properties of units formed usingfly ash, aggregates, and
5、 other allowed binders. Although not required bythis standard, users may request tests that establish assembly performancesuch as unit-mortar bond and fire resistance. As an alternative to tests,evidence of successful use in similar applications could be provided toestablish assembly performance.1.3

These notes and footnotes (ex-cluding those in tables and figures) shall not be considered asrequirements of the standard.1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas the standard. The values giv
7、en in parentheses are forinformation only.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulator

United States1by test or experience not to be detrimental to the durability ofthe fly ash units or any material customarily used in masonryconstruction.5. Physical Properties5.1 Physical RequirementsAt the time of delivery to thepu
16、rchaser, units shall conform to the physical requirementsprescribed in Table 1. All units shall be sound and free ofcracks or other defects that interfere with the proper placementof the units or significantly impair the strength or permanenceof the construction. Minor cracks incidental to the usual
17、method of manufacture or minor chipping resulting fromcustomary methods of handling in shipment and delivery arenot grounds for rejection.5.2 StrengthWhen bricks are required having strengthsgreater than prescribed by this specification, the purchaser shallspecify the desired minimum compressive str
18、ength.5.3 DurabilityFreeze-thaw durability shall be demon-strated by test. The units shall be tested in accordance with 8.5.The average mass loss of all the specimens tested shall not begreater than: (a) 0.046 lb/ft2(225 g/m2) when subject to 28freeze-thaw cycles, or (b) 0.102 lb/ft2(500 g/m2) when
19、subjectto 49 freeze-thaw cycles.5.4 ShrinkageAt the time of delivery to the purchaser, thetotal linear drying shrinkage of units shall not exceed 0.065 %when tested in accordance with Test Method C426.NOTE 2The purchaser is the public body or authority, association,corporation, partnership, or indiv
20、idual entering into a contract or agree-ment to purchase or install, or both, fly ash facing brick. The time ofdelivery to the purchaser is FOB plant when the purchaser or thepurchasers agent transports the fly ash facing brick, or at the timeunloaded at the worksite if the manufacturer or the manuf
21、acturers agenttransports the fly ash facing brick.6. Permissible Variation in Dimensions6.1 Measured width, height, and length of test specimensshall not differ by more than 6116 in. (61.6 mm) fromspecified dimensions.NOTE 3Specified dimensions of fly ash facing brick are the manu-facturers designat
22、ed dimensions.6.2 For those units with faces altered for aesthetic purposes,overall dimensional tolerances apply only to those dimensionsnot affected by the altering.NOTE 4For such units, dimensions will vary. Consult with suppliers todetermine achievable dimensional tolerances.6.3 For cored fly ash
23、 facing brick, the net cross-sectionalarea in any plane parallel to the surface containing the coresshall be at least 75 % of the gross cross-sectional areameasured in the same plane. No part of any hole shall be lessthan34 in. (19.1 mm) from any edge of the unit.7. Finish and Appearance7.1 At the t
24、ime of delivery to the purchaser, no more than5 % of the units in the shipment shall have finished face(s) thatexhibit one or more of the characteristics described in 7.1.1through 7.1.3.7.1.1 Units containing chips larger than12 in. (12.5 mm) inany dimension.7.1.2 Units containing cracks wider than
25、0.02 in. (0.5 mm)and longer than 25 % of the nominal height of the unit.7.1.3 Broken units.NOTE 5Units specified to have particular features or finishes, such assplit face and tumbled units, should not be rejected based on theconformance of such features to the requirements of 7.1.1.7.2 The finished
26、 face(s) of units shall not show imperfec-tions except as permitted in 7.1.1 though 7.1.2 when viewedfrom a distance of 20 ft under diffused lighting.7.3 The color and texture shall be specified by the purchaser.The exposed faces shall conform to an approved sampleconsisting of not fewer than four u
27、nits, representing the rangeof color and range of texture permitted.NOTE 6Fly ash brick are produced using a wide variety of naturalaggregates and other materials. As such, slight variations inherent innatural materials should be expected. Since specifying units and approv-ing samples can take place
28、 several months prior to production of actualunits for a project, slight variations in appearance from the approvedsample are to be expected.8. Sampling and Testing8.1 For purposes of testing, the term lot refers to anynumber of fly ash units of any configuration or dimensionmanufactured by the prod
29、ucer using the same materials, mixdesign, manufacturing process, and curing method.8.2 Compressive strength and absorption shall be based ontests of fly ash facing brick from the same lot. Sample and testcompressive strength and absorption in accordance with TestMethods C140, Annex A2, within 12 mon
30、ths of production ofthe units.8.3 Dimensional tolerance shall be based on tests of fly ashfacing brick of each configuration. Sample and test dimen-sional tolerance in accordance with Test Methods C140, within12 months of production of the units.8.4 Total linear drying shrinkage shall be based on te
31、sts offly ash facing brick from the same lot, conducted in accordancewith Test Method C426, within 24 months of production of theunits.TABLE 1 Strength, Absorption, and Density Classification RequirementsADensityClassificationOven-Dry Density, lb/ft3(kg/m3)Maximum Water Absorption, lb/ft3(kg/m3) Min

35、hall be permitted to removeunits from the shipment. A new sample, with a similarconfiguration and dimension, shall be selected by the purchaserfrom remaining units in the shipment and tested. If the secondsample meets the specified physical requirements, the remain-ing portion of the shipment repres
