16、, using the aggregates proposed for specific work, thefine and coarse aggregates used in any series of tests shall comefrom single lots of well-graded, sound materials that conformto the requirements of Specification C33, except that thegrading of the aggregates shall conform to the followingrequire

Ac
20、complish this by placing equal quantities intoeach container, successively, and repeat the procedure until allthe containers have their required mass (See Note 2).NOTE 2See the Appendix of Practice D75, Sampling from Stock-piles, and the section on SamplingAggregates in the Manual ofAggregateand Con

25、an air-entraining admixture for use in specific work, thecement and aggregates used shall be representative of thoseproposed for use in the work, and the concrete mixtures shallbe designed to have the cement content specified for use in thework (Note 4). If the maximum size of coarse aggregate isgre

27、 made as prescribed in PracticeC 192/C 192M.NOTE 4It is recommended that whenever practicable, tests be made inaccordance with 4.4 using the cement and pozzolanic or chemicaladmixtures, if any, proposed for specific work.5. Concrete Mixtures5.1 ProportionsUsing ACI 211.1, all concrete shall bepropor
28、tioned to conform to the following requirements:5.1.1 The cement content shall be 307 6 3 kg/m3(517 6 5lb/yd3) except when tests are being made for specific uses (see4.4).5.1.2 The first trial mixture shall contain the amount ofcoarse aggregate shown in Table 6.3.6 of ACI 211.1 for themaximum size o
29、f aggregate and for the fineness modulus of thesand being used.4Manual of Aggregate and Concrete Testing, Annual Book of ASTMStandards , Vol 04.02.5The sole source of supply of Vinsol resin known to the committee at this timeis Hercules Inc., Wilmington, DE. If you are aware of alternative suppliers
30、, pleaseprovide this information to ASTM International Headquarters. Your comments willreceive careful consideration at a meeting of the responsible technical committee,1which you may attend. Neutralization may be accomplished by treating 100 parts ofthe Vinsol resin with 9 to 15 parts of NaOH by we
31、ight. In an aqueous solution, theratio of reagent water (See Specification D 1193) to the resinate shall not exceed12:1 by weight.C233072NOTE 5The volumes of coarse aggregate recommended in ACI 211.1are intended to ensure workable mixtures with the least favorablecombinations of aggregate likely to
32、be used. It is suggested, therefore, thatfor a closer approximation of the proportions required for this test, therecommended values in ACI 211.1 be multiplied by 1.07 for the first trialmixture.5.1.3 The air content used in the computation of proportionsfor all concrete shall be 5.5 % except where
33、the admixtureunder test is for use in specific work (see 4.4). In this case theair content used in selecting proportions shall be the median ofthe range to be permitted in the work. If lightweight aggregatesare to be used in specific work, the unit weight of concrete usedin selecting proportions sha
34、ll be the median of the rangepermitted in the work.5.1.4 The water content and sand content shall be adjustedto obtain a slump of 90 6 15 mm (312 612 in.). Theworkability of the concrete mixture shall be suitable forconsolidation by hand rodding and the concrete mixture shallhave the minimum water c
35、ontent possible. These conditionsshall be achieved by final adjustments in the proportion of fineaggregate to total aggregate, in the amount of total aggregate,or both, while maintaining the yield and slump in the requiredranges.5.2 ConditionsConcrete mixtures shall be prepared bothwith the air-entr
36、aining admixture under test and with thereference admixture. The admixtures shall be added in theamounts necessary to produce the air content selected inaccordance with 5.1.3 within a tolerance of 60.5 % of thevolume of concrete.6.

Preparation of

Thepreparation of all specimens shall be completed in three days ofmixing.8.2 Manifestly Faulty SpecimensEach
42、 group of specimensrepresenting a given test or a given age of test, including testsof freshly mixed concrete, shall be examined visually before orduring the test, or both, whichever is appropriate. Discard anyspecimen found to be manifestly faulty by such examinationwithout testing. Visually examin

Should more than one specimen representing agiven test at a given age be found manifestly faulty, eitherbefore or after testin

The test result reported shall be the average of theindividual test results of the specimens tested or, in the eventthat one specimen or one result has been discarded, it shall bethe average of the test results of the remaining specimens.9.
