19、ons of the barriershall be as shown in Fig. 1. Unless otherwise specified by thepurchaser, the length of each barrier section shall be aminimum of 10 ft (3 m).6.5 Steel ReinforcementUnless designated by the pur-chaser, steel reinforcement shall be designed by the producerand shall be sufficient to p
20、ermit handling, delivery, andplacement of the sections without damage. The producer shallprovide steel reinforcement details to the purchaser. The designcover of concrete over reinforcing steel shall be a minimum of2 in. (50 mm). Unless prestressing is used, reinforcement shallbe assembled as a cage
21、 utilizing any combination of single ormultiple layers and mats containing sufficient longitudinal barsor wire extending through the section to maintain the shape andposition of reinforcement within the form during placement ofthe concrete. The exposure of the ends of longitudinal rein-forcement in
22、the barrier shall not be a cause for rejection.NOTE 1The purchaser or producer, or both, of the precast concretebarrier specified herein is cautioned that he should design reinforcing forthe ends of barrier sections in accordance with the publication “ConcreteMedian Barrier Research,” Vol, 2, Resear
23、ch Report, prepared by theSouthwest Research Institute for the Federal Highway Administration, toprevent fracture at the joints.6.6 Reinforcement Laps, Welds, and SplicingAll splicesshall be acceptable to the purchaser and shall develop the fullstrength of the reinforcing.6.7 Concrete FinishConcrete
24、 finishing shall be at theoption of the producer and shall produce a finish comparable toa steel form finish. The concrete finish and curing of all medianbarrier sections shall be uniform for all sections included in thecontract lot.6.8 Lifting DevicesShould the producer cast lifting de-vices into t
25、he barrier sections, they shall not be on the sidesurfaces.6.9 AnchorageAnchorage to prevent lateral movement ofthe barrier shall consist of dowels, keyway joints, or interlock-ing devices as may be specified by the purchaser.7. Manufacture7.1 MixtureThe constituent materials shall be propor-tioned
26、and thoroughly mixed to produce a uniform concretemixture of such quality so as to conform to the strengthrequirements of this specification.7.2 CuringThe barrier section shall be subjected to anyone of the following methods of curing, or combinationthereof. The sections shall be cured for a length
27、of timesufficient to develop the specified concrete compressivestrength as determined in accordance with Section 8.7.2.1 Accelerated CuringThe sections may be cured witheither low-pressure steam or radiant heat in a moist atmo-sphere.7.2.2 Water CuringThe sections may be water-cured bycovering with
28、water-saturated material or by a system ofFIG. 1 New Jersey BarrierFIG. 2 Type-F BarrierC825 06 (2011)2perforated pipes, mechanical sprinklers, porous hose, or by anyother method that will keep the section moist.7.2.3 Membrane CuringA sealing membrane may beapplied at a rate which will restrict the
29、loss of water to not morethan 0.055 g/cm2of surface in 72 h. The concrete at the timeof application shall be within 10F (6C) of the atmospherictemperature. All surfaces shall be kept moist prior to theapplication of the compounds and shall be damp when thecompound is applied.7.2.4 Curing OptionsOthe
30、r methods of curing may beused, if approved by the purchaser.7.3 FormsThe forms used in the manufacture of barriersections shall be sufficiently rigid to maintain productionwithin the permissible tolerances given in Section 9. Allcasting surfaces shall be of smooth nonporous material.8. Physical Req
31、uirements8.1 Compression Test SpecimensThe specimens requiredfor the tests shall be furnished by the producer and shall bemade at random from different batches. Test specimens shall beidentified with barrier sections. Two cylinders will be requiredfor each 25 yd3(19 m3) with a minimum of 2 cylinders
32、 for eachday of production. Compression test specimens for satisfyingthe minimum specified concrete strength requirement shall bemade in accordance with Practice C31/C31M except thatcuring shall be in accordance with 8.2.8.2 Curing Compression Test SpecimensTest specimensshall be cured in a similar
33、manner to barrier sections if they aresteam cured. If barrier sections are cured at normal ambienttemperatures, the specimens shall be cured in accordance withPractice C31/C31M.8.3 Compression TestsCylinders shall be tested in accor-dance with Test Method C39/C39M. The average compressivestrength of
34、 all cylinders tested for each days production shallbe equal to or greater than the specified design strength of theconcrete. In no case shall any cylinder tested fall below 80 %of design strength.8.4 Core Compression TestsIf the criteria of 8.3 are notmet or as an alternative, the producer or purch
35、aser may agreeto use cores taken from the barrier sections in accordance withTest Method C42/C42M. The number of tests required shall beas specified in 8.1. Test results shall conform to 8.3 except thatif cores are used the average compressive ot1 strength of thetest specimens shall be equal to or g
36、reater than 3400 psi (23MPa). No single core shall have a compressive strength lessthan 3000 psi (21 MPa). If the core tests fail on the dailyproduction run, each barrier section may be individually coredfor acceptance.9. Permissible Dimensional Tolerances9.1 Cross-Sectional DimensionsCross-sectiona
37、l dimen-sions shall not vary from design dimensions by more than14 in.(6 mm). The vertical center line shall not be out of plumb bymore than14 in. (6 mm).9.2 Longitudinal DimensionsLongitudinal dimensionsshall not vary from the design dimensions by more than14 in.(6 mm) per 10 ft (3 m) of barrier se
38、ction and shall not exceed34 in. (19 mm) per section.9.3 Location of Anchoring DevicesLocation of anchoringholes shall be as specified by the purchaser.9.4 Surface StraightnessWhen checked with a 10-ft (3-m)straight edge, irregularities measuring more than14 in. (6 mm)shall be corrected as the purch
39、aser may order or approve.9.5 Position of ReinforcementCover over reinforcementshall be not less than 2 in. (50 mm), except for longitudinalreinforcement at the end face of barrier sections.10. Inspection10.1 The quality of materials, the process of manufacturing,and the finished median barrier shal
40、l be available for inspectionby an inspector employed by the purchaser. If the manufactureris required to obtain the services of an independent testingagency, the costs shall be the purchasers responsibility.11. Repairs11.1 Barrier sections may be repaired, if necessary, becauseof occasional imperfe
41、ctions in manufacture or damage duringhandling. They shall be acceptable if, in the opinion of thepurchaser, the repairs are sound, properly finished, and cured.The repaired sections shall conform to the requirements of thisspecification. Repairs to correct imperfections in manufactureor damage duri
42、ng handling may be made only after authoriza-tion by the purchaser.12. Rejection12.1 Barrier sections shall be subject to rejection for failureto conform to any of the specification requirements. In addi-tion, individual sections may be rejected due to defects thatindicate inadequate proportioning,
43、mixing, or molding.ASTM International takes no position respecting the validity of any patent rights asserted in connection with any item mentionedin this standard.
