Preparation of Crossed-Brick Test Specimens8.1 With mortars designed for a trowel-type application,apply the mortar over the area on the brick that is marked forthe joint. The amount of mortar applied sha

At thesame time, align the two brick-mortar contacts as parallelsurfaces. Strike off the excess mortar

(Note 1) Mark the brick as shown in Fig. 1,toensure that the crossed bricks will be at right angles to eachother and centered one on the other when the specimen isassembled. At the same time, mark the contact po

Preparation of Mortar10.1 For mortars to be applied by troweling, prepare a 1200to 1500-g sample of mortar, mixing it in the proper proportionsand in the manner specified
23、 by the manufacturer of thematerials. If the proportions so specified are by volume, weighthe materials and report the corresponding proportions byweight.10.2 For sulfur mortars to be applied by casting, preparesamples in accordance with 7.1.1 of Specification C 287.11. Conditioning Test Specimens11
24、.1 Condition the specimens, except those of sulfur andhydraulic cement mortars, for seven days at 73 6 4F (23 62C). Other conditioning temperatures are acceptable, pro-vided they are reported with the test data. In the case of sulfurmortars, test the samples after 48 h. The conditioning time andtemp
25、erature may be varied to establish time-temperature-strength relationship or to conform with intended service. Storespecimens made with hydraulic cement mortars for 14 days ina moist cabinet at 73 6 4F (23 6 2C) and at a relativehumidity of not less than 90 %.11.2 Take care in handling the specimens
26、 to avoid abuse,such as lifting the unit by the top brick, or stacking specimensone on another.12. Procedure12.1 Mount the test specimen in the special test fixture asshown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 4. Place the specimen on the supportpoints of the bottom head in such a manner that the specimenis balanced.
27、 The marked contact points on the bottom surfaceof the top brick must match the support points of the bottomtest head. Position the apparatus to match the contact points ofthe top head with the marked contact points on the top surfaceof the bottom brick.12.2 With the cross-head movement of 0.20 to 0

33、ll berejected and the mean recalculated. If any value still differsfrom the new mean by more than 15 %, the farthest value shallagain be rejected and the mean recalculated. If any valueremains 15 % from the mean, the test shall be rerun.15.4 If less than four values remain, the test shall be rerun.1
