All concreteshall have a water-cementitious ratio not exceeding 0.53 byweigh
34、t. Cementitious materials shall be as specified in 4.1.2and shall be added to the mix in a proportion not less than 470lb/yd3, unless mix designs with a lower cementitious materialscontent demonstrate that the quality and performance of theproduct meet the requirements of this specification.7.2 Curi
35、ngConcrete products shall be subjected to anyone of the methods of curing prescribed in 7.2.1-7.2.4 or to anyother method or combination of methods approved by theowner that will give satisfactory results.7.2.1 Steam CuringConcrete products are placed in acuring chamber, free of outside drafts, and

Acceptance8.1 Acceptance Procedures:8.1.1 Unless otherwise designated by the owner at the
40、timeof, or before, placing an order, acceptance procedures forprecast reinforced concrete manhole products shall be asspecified in the Part II section for a particular product, and shallnot be prohibited from consisting of one or more of thefollowing:8.1.1.1 Acceptance of a product on the basis of t
41、ests ofmaterials, including concrete compressive strength and absorp-tion.8.1.1.2 Acceptance of a product on the basis of inspection ofthe finished product, including amount and placement ofreinforcement to determine conformance with the designprescribed under this specification, and freedom from de
42、fects.8.2 Test Methods:8.2.1 Concrete Compressive Strength Test:8.2.1.1 Type of SpecimenCompression tests for satisfyingthe minimum specified concrete strength requirement shall bemade on either concrete cylinders or, at the option of themanufacturer, on cores cut from the concrete manhole product.8
43、.2.1.2 Compression Testing of CylindersCylinders shallbe made in accordance with Test Methods C497, and shall betested in accordance with Test Method C39/C39M. For man-hole products, an owner shall not be prohibited from requiringconcrete compressive tests on cylinder specimens numberingin the amoun
44、t of 5 % of the total order of a manhole product,but not to exceed two cylinders for each days production. Theaverage compressive strength of all cylinders tested shall beequal to or greater than the specified strength of the concrete.Not more than 10 % of the cylinders tested shall fall below thesp
45、ecified strength of the concrete. In no case shall any cylindertested fall below 80 % of the specified strength of the concrete.8.2.1.3 Compression Testing of CoresCores shall be cutfrom the concrete manhole product and tested in accordancewith Test Methods C497, except that the requirements formois
46、ture conditioning shall not apply. One core shall be takenfrom a manhole product selected at random from each daysproduction run of a single concrete strength. When the concretecompressive strength of the core is equal to or greater than80 % of the specified strength of the concrete, the concretestr
47、ength of the production run is acceptable. If the core doesnot meet the preceding concrete strength requirement, anothercore from the same manhole product shall be taken and tested.8.2.1.4 If the concrete compressive strength of the recore isequal to or greater than 80 % of the specified strength of
48、 theconcrete, the concrete strength of the production run is accept-able. If the recore does not meet the preceding concretestrength requirement, that manhole product shall be rejected.Two manhole products from the remainder of the daysproduction run shall be selected at random and one core takenfro
49、m each manhole product and tested. When the averageconcrete strength of the two cores is equal to or greater than80 % of the specified strength of the concrete with no corebelow 75 % of the specified strength of the concrete, theconcrete strength of the days production run shall be accept-able.8.2.1.5 If the concrete strength of the two cores does notmeet the preceding concrete strength requirement, then theremainder of the days production run shall be either rejected,or, at the option of the manufacturer, each manhole product ofthe remainder of the d
