1、Designation: C232/C232M 09 C232/C232M 12Standard Test Methods forBleeding of Concrete1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C232/C232M; the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A numb
2、er in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope*1.1 These test methods cover the determination of the relativ
3、e quantity of mixing water that will bleed from a sample of freshlymixed concrete. Two test methods, that differ primarily in the degree of vibration to which the concrete sample is subjected, areincluded.1.2 The two test methods are not expected to yield the same test results when samples of concre
4、te from the same batch are testedby each method. When various concretes are to be compared, all the tests must be conducted using the same method, and if thebatches are of similar unit weight, the sample masses shall not differ by more than 1 kg 2 lb.1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-
5、pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in eachsystem may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from thetwo systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.1.4 The text of this standard ref

Test Specimen5.1 For concrete made in the laboratory, prep
23、are as described in Practice C192/C192M. For concrete made in the field, samplethe concrete as described in Practice C172. The apparatus described in this test method is permitted to be used with samples ofconcrete containing any size of aggregate graded up to and including a nominal maximum size of
24、 50 mm 2 in. Concretecontaining aggregate larger than 50 mm 2 in. in nominal maximum size shall be wet sieved over a 3.7537.5 mm 112-in. sieveand the test performed on a portion of the sample that passes through the sieve.5.2 Fill the container with the concrete in accordance with Test Method C138/C
25、138M except that the container shall be filledto a height of 254 6 3 mm 10 6 18 in. Level the top surface of the concrete to a reasonably smooth surface by a minimumamount of troweling.6. Procedure6.1 During the test, maintain the ambient temperature between 18 and 24 C 65 and 75 F. Immediately afte
26、r troweling thesurface of the specimen, record the time and determine the mass of the container and its contents. Place the specimen and containeron a level platform or floor free of noticeable vibration and cover the container to prevent evaporation of the bleed water. Keepthe cover in place throug
27、hout the test, except when drawing off the water. Draw off (with pipet or similar instrument) the waterthat has accumulated on the surface at 10-min intervals during the first 40 min and at 30-min intervals thereafter until cessationof bleeding, recording the time of last observation. To facilitate
28、the collection of bleeding water, tilt the specimen carefully byplacing a block approximately 50 mm 2 in. thick under one side of the container 2 min prior to each time the water is withdrawn.After the water is removed, return the container to a level position without jarring. After each withdrawal,
29、 transfer the water toa 100-mL graduated cylinder. Record the accumulated quantity of water after each transfer. When only the total volume of bleedingis desired to be determined, the periodic removal procedure shall be omitted and the entire amount removed in a single operation.If it is desired to
30、determine the mass of the bleeding water and to exclude the material present other than the water, carefully decantthe contents of the cylinder into a metal beaker. Determine the mass and record the mass of the beaker and its contents. Dry thebeaker and its contents to constant mass and record the f
31、inal mass. The difference between the two masses, D, is equal to the massof the bleeding water. The mass of the sludge shall also be obtained, if desired, by initially determining the tare mass of the beaker.7. Calculation7.1 Calculate the volume of bleeding water per unit area of surface, V, as fol
32、lows:V 5V1/A (1)where:V 1 = volume of bleeding water measured during the selected time interval, mL, andA = area of exposed concrete, cm2.C232/C232M 122The comparative rate of bleeding shall be determined as the test progresses by comparing the volume of bleeding water for eachequal time interval.7.
33、2 Calculate the accumulated bleeding water, expressed as a percentage of the net mixing water contained within the testspecimen, as follows:C 5w/W! 3S (2)Bleeding,%5D/C! 3100where:C = mass of the water in the test specimen, g,W = total mass of the batch, kg,w = net mixing water (the total amount of
34、water minus the water absorbed by the aggregates), kg,S = mass of the sample, g, andD = mass of the bleeding water, g, or total volume withdrawn from the test specimen in cubic centimeters multiplied by 1g/cm3.TEST METHOD BSAMPLE CONSOLIDATED BY VIBRATION8. Apparatus8.1 Vibrating PlatformA platform
35、shall be provided upon which the filled container shall be mounted. The platform shall beequipped with a suitable device so that intermittent periods of vibration of reproducible duration, frequency, and amplitudes willbe imparted to the specimen container as prescribed by Section 8 (see Fig. 1). Su
36、itable vibration will be provided if there is boltedto the platform a 93W 18-hp electric motor, to the shaft of which a small eccentric whose mass is approximately 110 g 0.24 lbis attached by means of a setscrew. The eccentric shall be fabricated from cold-rolled stock in accordance with the details
37、 anddimensions shown in Fig. 2. The hole through the eccentric is 13.5 mm 34/64 in. or an appropriate size to accommodate the motorshaft. The platform shall be supported on rubber supports resting on a concrete slab. The concrete slab shall be separated from thefloor by a layer of cork as shown in F
38、ig. 2.8.2 TimerA timing device, by means of which the periods of vibration provided to the platform and specimen in accordancewith the provisions of Section 8 is permitted to be regulated.8.3 ContainerA steel container 290 mm 1112 in. in diameter at the top, 280 mm 11 in. in diameter at the bottom,
39、and 285mm 1118 in. high shall be provided. A steel container cover shall also be provided. The container and cover shall conform withthe details given in Fig. 3.8.3.1 The remainder of the apparatus is identical with that given for Method A.FIG. 1 Vibrating Platform and TimerC232/C232M 1239. Vibratin
40、g Cycle9.1 The vibrating cycle shall be as follows: Power on for 3 s, power off 30 s. However, due to the coasting of the motor afterthe power is turned off, the period of perceptible vibration is approximately 7 s.10. Test Specimen10.1 The sample shall be prepared as described for Method A.10.2 The
41、 sample shall be placed in the container to a depth equal to approximately one half the average diameter of thecontainer. The size of the test sample can best be regulated by mass; a sample with a mass of 20 6 0.5 kg 45 6 1 lb usuallymeets the requirements for the apparatus described herein.11. Proc
42、edure11.1 Consolidation of Test SpecimenConsolidate the sample in the container by means of vibration of only that durationrequired to effect the desired degree of compaction. Sufficient vibration has been applied as soon as the surface of the concretehas become relatively smooth. Stop the consolida
43、ting procedure immediately upon the first appearance of free water segregatingfrom the concrete as indicated by the development of a water sheen on its surface. For some unusually wet or plastic mixtures,no consolidating effort will be needed beyond that supplied by placing the sample in the contain
44、er and handling the containerduring the operations of determining the mass and placing it on the platform for test.11.2 Intermittent VibrationPlace the cover on the container and the container on the vibrating platform. Clamp the containerand cover down tightly. Note and record the time, and start t
45、he motor. Continue intermittent vibration for 1 h.FIG. 2 Detail of Vibrating Platform ApparatusC232/C232M 12411.3 Determination of Bleeding WaterThe intermittent periods of vibrations do not permit the determination of bleeding waterat a number of different time intervals. Determine the total volume
46、 of bleeding water as described for Method A.12. Calculation12.1 Calculate the percentage bleeding water as described for Method A.13.

Precision and Bias14.1 Precision:14.1.1 Method AData are not availabl
48、e to evaluate the precision of Method A directly. However, there is reason to believe thatthe precision for Method A is at least as good as that for Method B. The values given for Method B shall be used as maximumprecision limits for Method A.14.1.2 Method BThe single operator-day-multibatch standar
49、d deviation (1s) has been found to be 0.71 % for a bleeding rangefrom 0 to 10 %, 1.06 % for a bleeding range from 10 to 20 %, and 1.77 % for more than 20 %. Therefore, results of two properlyconducted tests by the same operator on the same day on different batches of the same mixture are not expected to differ by morethan 2.0 % (d2s) for a bleeding range from 0 to 10 %, 3.0 % for a range from 10 to 20 %, and 5.0 % for more than 20 %.
