These tests are intended to qualify sourcesof fly ash and other pozzolans to meet specified job or projectcriteria as related to soil stabilization.7.
17、Water-Soluble Fraction7.1 ProcedurePlace 10 g of a dried pozzolan sample(dried to constant weight in an oven at 221 to 230 F (105 to110 C) in a 200-mL Erlenmeyer flask and add 100 mL ofdistilled water at 73 6 3F(236 2 C). Shake well by handuntil no lumps can be observed; then with a mechanical shake
18、ror stirring device, agitate at laboratory room temperature for aperiod of 1 h. Pour the material into a weighed Gooch orsintered-glass crucible, and wash all residue from the flask intothe crucible with distilled water from a wash bottle. Wash theresidue in the crucible free of adhering solution by
19、 repeatedwashings with distilled water. Dry the crucible to constantweight in an oven at 221 F (105 C).7.2 CalculationCalculate the percentage of water-solublefraction by multiplying the loss in weight in grams by 10.8. Fineness8.1 Test in accordance with Test Methods C110, except thatthe sample sha
20、ll be 100 g of the dried pozzolan.9. Lime-Pozzolan Strength Development9.1 Test the pozzolan in accordance with the applicableportions of Test Method C109/C109M and Practice C305, andin accordance with the following:9.2 Apparatus:9.2.1 Oven, closed, vapor-type.9.3 Materials:9.3.1 Hydrated LimeWhere
21、possible, the lime shall be thesame as that to be used on the job and shall meet therequirements of Specification C821.9.3.2 SandThe sand shall be graded standard sand asrequired by Test Method C109/C109M.9.4 Number of Test SpecimensThree specimens shall beprepared for each age at which a strength t

23、itres,shall be such as to produce a flow of 65 to 75 as determined inaccordance with 9.6, and shall be expressed as weight percentof the combined lime and pozzolan. The lime and pozzolanshall be blended together in a closed container. Mixing shall bedone in accordance with the procedure described in
24、 PracticeC305, except that it shall be amended to read “Add the blendedlime and pozzolan to the water and allow it to stand for 1 min.Then start the mixer and mix at slow speed (140 6 5 rpm) for30 s.”9.6 Determination of FlowDetermine the flow in accor-dance with Test Method C109/C109M, except that
25、the numberof drops of the flow table shall be 10 drops in 6 s instead of 25drops in 15 s. If the flow is less than the specified limit, thematerial used for the flow test may be returned to the mixingbowl and additional water added, the batch mixed for 112 min,and a new flow taken. This operation ma
26、y be repeated until aflow within the specified range is obtained. If the flow exceedsthe range specified, discard the batch and give a new batch anew trial until a flow within range is obtained.9.7 Molding Test SpecimensImmediately after thecompletion of the flow test, mold specimens in accordancewi
27、th Test Method C109/C109M.9.8 Storage of Test SpecimensWhen molding is com-pleted, place the filled mold in the vapor immediately abovewater at 130 6 3F(546 2 C) in a closed vapor oven withthe top surface protected from the drip. Allow the specimens inthe molds to remain in the vapor for a period of
28、 7 days, afterwhich remove them from the vapor and cool to 73 6 3F(236 2 C) in air saturated sufficiently that no drying takes placeduring the cooling. When the specimens are cool, remove themfrom the molds, and store them at 73 6 3F(236 2 C) at 95to 100 % relative humidity until time of the compres

Whenusing job aggregates, discard
31、the material, if any, retained onthe34-in. (19.0-mm) sieve. If the aggregate fraction betweenthe34-in. and No. 4 (4.75-mm) sieve does not contain freesurface moisture, then that fraction of the aggregate shall besoaked for 24 h and towel dried to obtain a saturated surfacedry condition. If job aggre

41、weights of thespecimens and then carefully remove from the mold by the useof a sample extruded, such as a jack or lever frame.10.5 Curing of Test SpecimensImmediately after thespecimens are removed from the mold, reweigh the specimensand place in a sealed container (12-gal (2-L) or 1-gal (4-L) canwi
42、th double friction lids) to prevent loss of moisture. Place thespecimens in the sealed containers carefully in a room orcabinet with forced-air circulation maintained at 100 6 3F(38 6 2 C) for a 7-day period. After this period, remove thespecimens from the container, reweigh, and allow to cool toroo
