40、EGATE5. General Characteristics5.1 Fine aggregate shall consist of natural sand, manufac-tured sand, or other recycled aggregate, or a combinationthereof.NOTE 2This standard only addresses properties of aggregates consid-ered necessary for use in concrete and the associated test methodscontained wit
41、hin this standard. Certain recycled aggregate sources maycontain materials and properties not addressed as part of the documentspecifications, limits, or test methods. Recycled aggregates may requireevaluation for environmental considerations (air quality, water quality,storage) using the appropriat
42、e local, state, and federal test methods ineffect at the time of use.6. Grading6.1 Sieve AnalysisFine aggregate, except as provided in6.2 and 6.3 shall be graded within the limits in Table 1.NOTE 3Concrete with fine aggregate gradings near the minimums forpercent passing the 300 m (No.50) and 150 m
43、(No.100) sometimes havedifficulties with workability, pumping or excessive bleeding. The additionof entrained air, additional cement, or the addition of an approved mineraladmixture to supply the deficient fines, are methods used to alleviate suchdifficulties.6.2 The fine aggregate shall have not mo
44、re than 45 %passing any sieve and retained on the next consecutive sieve ofthose shown in 6.1, and its fineness modulus shall be not lessthan 2.3 nor more than 3.1.6.3 Fine aggregate failing to meet these grading require-ments shall meet the requirements of this section provided thatthe supplier can
45、 demonstrate to the purchaser or specifier thatconcrete of the class specified, made with fine aggregate underconsideration, will have relevant properties (see Note 6)atleast equal to those of concrete made with the sameingredients, with the exception that the reference fine aggregateshall be select
46、ed from a source having an acceptable perfor-mance record in similar concrete construction.NOTE 4Manufactured fine aggregate having elevated proportions ofmaterial passing the 75-m (No. 200) sieve may need further evaluation toensure that material passing the 75-m (No. 200) sieve is essentiallycompo
47、sed of dust of fracture derived from the parent rock in the crushingoperation, and does not contain an appreciable level of clay minerals orother deleterious constituents as described in Descriptive NomenclatureC294. Because some of the dust of fracture may occur in the clay sizerange, defined here
48、as material finer than 2 m, care must be taken toproperly differentiate these clay-sized materials from clay minerals.Natural fine aggregate with elevated proportions of material passing the75-m (No. 200) sieve may have higher potential for clay mineral content.Various means are available for charac
49、terizing these fines, such aspetrographic analysis (Guide C295), sand equivalent determination (TestMethod D2419), hydrometer analysis (Test Method D422), methyleneblue adsorption determination (AASHTO T 330) and X-ray diffractionanalysis. While these techniques are useful for investigative purposes, nospecific limits have been established for prediction of performance ofthese materials in concrete under various intended service conditions.Methylene blue adsorption and hydrometer analyses are believed to betwo relatively quick and reliable tests for
