31、s of coarse aggregate,6.1.2 Slump or slumps desired at the point of delivery (see 10.3),6.1.3 When air-entrained concrete is specified, the air content of samples taken at the point of discharge from the transportationunit (see 10.4 and Table 1 for the total air content and tolerances) (Note 4),6.1.
32、4 When structural lightweight concrete is specified, the density as fresh density, equilibrium density, or oven-dry density(Note 5), and6.1.5 Which of Options A, B, or C shall be used as a basis for determining the proportions of the concrete to produce therequired quality (see 6.2, 6.3, or 6.4).NOT
33、E 4In selecting the specified air content, the purchaser should consider the exposure conditions to which the concrete will be subjected. Aircontents less than shown in Table 1 may not give the required resistance to freezing and thawing, which is the primary purpose of air-entrained concrete.Air co
34、ntents higher than the levels shown may reduce strength without contributing any further improvement of durability.NOTE 5The density of fresh concrete, which is the only density determinable at the time of delivery, is always higher than the equilibrium density,or oven-dry density.
