1、Designation: C31/C31M 18Standard Practice forMaking and Curing Concrete Test Specimens in the Field1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C31/C31M; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revi

2、sion. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S. Department of Defense.1. Scope*1.1 This practice covers procedures for maki

4、s. This practice is not satisfactory for making speci-mens from concrete not having measurable slump or requiringother sizes or shapes of specimens.1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated ineach system may not be exact

5、equivalents; therefore, eachsystem shall be used independently of the other. Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the us

6、er of this standard to establish appro-priate safety, health, and environmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.(WarningFresh hydraulic cementitious mixtures are causticand may cause chemical burns to exposed skin and tissue uponprolonged exposure.2)

7、1.5 The text of this standard references notes which provideexplanatory material. These notes shall not be considered asrequirements of the standard.1.6 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision

37、consolidation, finish the top surfacesby striking them off with the tamping rod where the consis-tency of the concrete permits or with a handheld float or trowel.If desired, cap the top surface of freshly made cylinders with athin layer of stiff portland cement paste which is permitted toharden and

38、cure with the specimen. See section on CappingMaterials of Practice C617/C617M.9.5.2 BeamsAfter consolidation of the concrete, use ahandheld float or trowel to strike off the top surface to therequired tolerance to produce a flat, even surface.9.6 IdentificationMark the specimens to positively iden-

39、tify them and the concrete they represent. Use a method thatwill not alter the top surface of the concrete. Do not mark theremovable caps. Upon removal of the molds, mark the testspecimens to retain their identities.10. Curing10.1 Standard CuringStandard curing is the curingmethod used when the spec

40、imens are made and cured for thepurposes stated in 4.2.10.1.1 StorageIf specimens cannot be molded at the placewhere they will receive initial curing, immediately afterfinishing move the specimens to an initial curing place forstorage. The supporting surface on which specimens are storedshall be lev

41、el to within 20 mm/m 14 in. ft. If cylinders in thesingle use molds are moved, lift and support the cylinders fromthe bottom of the molds with a large trowel or similar device.If the top surface is marred during movement to place of initialstorage, immediately refinish.10.1.2 Initial CuringImmediate

42、ly after molding andfinishing, the specimens shall be stored for a period up to 48 hin a temperature range from 16 to 27C 60 to 80F and in anenvironment preventing moisture loss from the specimens. Forconcrete mixtures with a specified strength of 40 MPa 6000psi or greater, the initial curing temper

43、ature shall be between20 and 26C 68 and 78F. Various procedures are capable ofbeing used during the initial curing period to maintain thespecified moisture and temperature conditions. An appropriateprocedure or combination of procedures shall be used (Note 7).Shield all specimens from the direct sun

44、light and, if used,radiant heating devices. The storage temperature shall becontrolled by use of heating and cooling devices, as necessary.Record the temperature using a maximum-minimum thermom-eter. If cardboard molds are used, protect the outside surface ofthe molds from contact with wet burlap or

45、 other sources ofwater.NOTE 7Asatisfactory moisture environment can be created during theinitial curing of the specimens by one or more of the followingprocedures: (1) immediately immerse molded specimens with plastic lidsin water saturated with calcium hydroxide, (2) store in properly con-structed

46、wooden boxes or structures, (3) place in damp sand pits, (4) coverwith removable plastic lids, (5) place inside plastic bags, or (6) cover withplastic sheets or nonabsorbent plates if provisions are made to avoiddrying and damp burlap is used inside the enclosure, but the burlap isprevented from con

47、tacting the concrete surfaces. A satisfactory tempera-ture environment can be controlled during the initial curing of thespecimens by one or more of the following procedures: (1) use ofventilation, (2) use of ice, (3) use of thermostatically controlled heating orcooling devices, or (4) use of heatin

48、g methods such as stoves or lightbulbs. Other suitable methods may be used provided the requirementslimiting specimen storage temperature and moisture loss are met. Forconcrete mixtures with a specified strength of 40 MPa 6000 psi orgreater, heat generated during the early ages may raise the tempera

49、tureabove the required storage temperature. Immersion in water saturated withcalcium hydroxide may be the easiest method to maintain the requiredstorage temperature. When specimens are to be immersed in watersaturated with calcium hydroxide, specimens in cardboard molds or othermolds that expand when immersed in water should not be used. Early-agestrength test results may be lower when stored at 16C 60F and higherwhen stored at 27C 80F. On the other hand, at later ages, test resultsmay
