Test Specimen5.1 For concrete made in the laboratory, prepare as described in Pr
23、actice 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 50 mm 2 in. Concretec
24、ontaining aggregate larger than 50 mm 2 in. in nominal maximum size shall be wet sieved over a 37.5 mm 112-in. sieve andthe 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/C138M except that the conta
25、iner 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 after troweling thesurface of
26、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 throughout the test, except when
27、 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 the collection of bleeding
28、bleed water, tilt the specimen carefullyby placing a block approximately 50 mm 2 in. thick under one side of the container 2 min prior to each time the water iswithdrawn. After the water is removed, return the container to a level position without jarring. After each withdrawal, transfer thewater to
29、 a 100-mL graduated cylinder. Record the accumulated quantity of water after each transfer. When only the total volumeof bleeding is desired to be determined, the periodic removal procedure shall be omitted and the entire amount removed in a singleoperation. If it is desired to determine the mass of
30、 the bleedingbleed water and to exclude the material present other than the water,carefully decant the contents of the cylinder into a metal beaker. Determine the mass and record the mass of the beaker and itscontents. Dry the beaker and its contents to constant mass and record the final mass. The d
31、ifference between the two masses, D,is equal to the mass of the bleedingbleed water. The mass of the sludge shall also be obtained, if desired, by initially determiningthe tare mass of the beaker.7. Calculation7.1 Calculate the volume of bleedingbleed water per unit area of surface, V, as follows:V
32、5V1/A (1)where:V 1 = volume of bleeding water measured during the selected time interval, mL, andV 1 = volume of bleed water measured during the selected time interval, mL, andA = area of exposed concrete, cm2.C232/C232M 132The comparative rate of bleeding shall be determined as the test progresses
33、by comparing the volume of bleedingbleed waterfor each equal time interval.7.2 Calculate the accumulated bleedingbleed 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 spec
34、imen, g,W = total mass of the batch, kg,w = net mixing water (the total amount of 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.D = mass
35、 of the bleed water, g, or total volume withdrawn from the test specimen in cubic centimeters multiplied by 1 g/cm3.TEST METHOD BSAMPLE CONSOLIDATED BY VIBRATION8. Apparatus8.1 Vibrating PlatformA platform shall be provided upon which the filled container shall be mounted. The platform shall beequip
36、ped 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). Suitable vibration will be provided if there is boltedto the platform a 93W 18-hp electric motor
37、, 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 anddimensions shown in Fig. 2. The hole through the eccentric is 13.5 mm 34/64 in. or an appr
38、opriate 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 Fig. 2.8.2 TimerA timing device, by means of which the periods of vibration provided to the pla
39、tform 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, and 285mm 1118 in. high shall be provided. A steel container cover shall also be provided. The
40、 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.9. Vibrating 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
41、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 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
42、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. Procedure11.1 Consolidation of Test SpecimenConsolidate the sample in the container by means of vibration of only that durationrequired to effect t
43、he desired degree of compaction. Sufficient vibration has been applied as soon as the surface of the concretehas become relatively smooth. Stop the consolidating procedure immediately upon the first appearance of free water segregatingfrom the concrete as indicated by the development of a water shee
44、n 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 container and handling the containerduring the operations of determining the mass and placing it on the platform for test.11.2 Intermittent VibrationP
45、lace 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 the motor. Continue intermittent vibration for 1 h.11.3 Determination of Bleeding WaterThe intermittent periods of vibrations do not permit the
46、determination of bleeding waterat a number of different time intervals. Determine the total volume of bleeding water as described for Method A.C232/C232M 13312. Calculation12.1 Calculate the percentage bleeding water as described for Method A.8. Report8.1 Concrete mixture proportions,8.2 Source and

48、sed time required for cessation of bleeding.9. Precision and Bias9.1 Precision:9.1.1 Method AData are not available to evaluate the precision of Method A directly. However, there the test method forconcrete consolidated by vibration. There is reason to believe that the precision for Method A of test
49、s for concrete consolidatedby rodding is at least as good as that for Method B. concrete consolidated by vibration. The values given for Method B shall beused as maximum precision limits for Method A.concrete consolidated by rodding.9.1.2 Method BThe single operator-day-multibatch standard 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
