1、Designation: C232/C232M 13cC232/C232M 14Standard Test Method 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 numbe
2、r in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This test method covers the determination of the relative quantity of mixing water that will bleed from a sample of freshlymixed concrete.1
3、.2 When various concretes are to be compared, if the batches are of similar unit weight, the sample masses shall not differ bymore than 1 kg 2 lb.1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in eachsystem may not be exact e
4、quivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from thetwo systems may result in non-conformance with the standard. Some values have only SI units because the inch-pound equivalentsare not used in practice.NOTE 1Sieve size is identified by its standard

These notes and footnotes(excluding those

21、)A small electric hot plate or other source of heat for evaporating decanted water.6. Test Specimen6.1 For concrete made in the laboratory, prepare as described in Practice C192/C192M. For concrete made in the field, samplethe concrete as described in Practice C172/C172M. The apparatus described in
22、this test method is permitted to be used withsamples of concrete containing any size of aggregate graded up to and including a nominal maximum size of 50 mm 2 in.Concrete containing aggregate larger than 50 mm 2 in. in nominal maximum size shall be wet sieved over a 37.5 mm 112-in.sieve and the test
23、 performed on a portion of the sample that passes through the sieve.6.2 Determine the proportion of net mixing water (total water minus water absorbed by the aggregates) in the batch of concretebeing tested from the batch weights data.6.3 Determine the mass of the empty container. Fill the container
24、 with the concrete in accordance with Test MethodC138/C138M except that the container shall be filled to a height of 255 6 3 mm 10 6 18 in. Level the top surface of the concreteusing no more than three passes of a trowel. Determine the mass of the container and concrete.7. Procedure7.1 During the te
25、st, maintain the ambient temperature between 18 and 24 C 65 and 75 F. Immediately after troweling thesurface of the specimen, record the time. Place the specimen and container on a level platform or floor free of noticeable vibrationand cover the container to prevent evaporation of the bleed water.
26、Keep the cover in place throughout the test, except when drawingoff the water. Draw off (with pipet or similar instrument) the water that has accumulated on the surface at 10-min intervals duringthe first 40 min and at 30-min intervals thereafter until cessation of bleeding, recording the time of la
27、st observation. To facilitatethe collection of bleed water, tilt the specimen carefully by placing a block approximately 50 mm 2 in. thick under one side ofthe container 2 min prior to each time the water is withdrawn.After the water is removed, return the container to a level position without jarri
28、ng. After each withdrawal, transfer the water toa 100-mL graduated cylinder. Record the accumulated quantity of water after each transfer. If it is desired to determine the massof the bleed water and to exclude the material present other than the water, carefully decant the contents of the cylinder
29、into a metalbeaker. Determine the mass and record the mass of the beaker and its contents. Dry the beaker and its contents to constant massand record the final mass. The difference between the two masses, D, is equal to the mass of the bleed water. The mass of the sludgeshall also be obtained, if de
30、sired, by initially determining the tare mass of the beaker.8. Calculation8.1 Calculate the volume of bleed water per unit area of surface, V, as follows:V 5V1/A (1)where:V 1 = volume of bleed water measured during the selected time interval, mL, andA = area of exposed concrete, cm2.The comparative
31、rate of bleeding shall be determined as the test progresses by comparing the volume of bleed water for eachequal time interval.C232/C232M 1428.2 Calculate the accumulated bleed water, expressed as a percentage of the net mixing water contained within the testspecimen, as follows:C 5w/W! 3S (2)Bleedi
32、ng,%5D/C! 3100where:C = mass of net mixing water in the test specimen, g,W = total mass of the batch, kg,w = mass of net mixing water in the batch (the total amount of water minus the water absorbed by the aggregates), kg,S = mass of the specimen, g, andD = accumulated mass of the bleed water, g, (t
33、otal volume withdrawn from the test specimen in mL multiplied by 1 g/mL).9. Report9.1 Concrete mixture proportions,9.2 Source and identification of each material used,9.3 The volume of bleed water per unit area of surface, and the accumulated bleed water, expressed as a percentage of the netmixing w
34、ater contained within the test specimen, and9.4 Elapsed time required for cessation of bleeding.10. Precision and Bias10.1 Precision:10.1.1 Data are available to evaluate the precision of the test method for concrete consolidated by vibration. There is reason tobelieve that the precision of tests fo
35、r concrete consolidated by rodding is at least as good as that for concrete consolidated byvibration. The values given shall be used as maximum precision limits for concrete consolidated by rodding.NOTE 2In earlier versions of this test method, there were two consolidation procedures: Method A by ro
36、dding and Method B by using a vibratingplatform. Precision data had been obtained for Method B and because both methods used the same procedures for determining the amount of bleed waterthe precision for Method B is applicable to Method A. In 2013, Method B was deleted from the test method. The prec
37、ision statement is based onconsolidation using a vibrating platform and is provided to give the user information on the magnitude of the variation that is expected for concreteconsolidated by rodding.10.1.2 The single operator-day-multibatch standard deviation (1s) has been found to be 0.71 % for a
38、bleeding range from 0 to10 %, 1.06 % for a bleeding range from 10 to 20 %, and 1.77 % for more than 20 %. Therefore, results of two properly conductedtests by the same operator on the same day on different batches of the same mixture are not expected to differ by more than 2.0 %(d2s) for a bleeding
39、range from 0 to 10 %, 3.0 % for a range from 10 to 20 %, and 5.0 % for more than 20 %. (See Note 23.)NOTE 3These numbers represent, respectively, the (1s) and (d2s) limits as described in Practice C670.10.2 BiasThe test method has no bias because the values determined can be defined only in terms of
