Summary of Test Method3.1 A concrete cylinder mold assembly consisting of a
8、moldand a tubular support member is fastened within the concreteformwork prior to placement of the concrete as shown in Fig.1. The elevation of the mold upper edge is adjusted tocorrespond to the plane of the finished slab surface. The moldsupport prevents direct contact of the slab concrete with th
9、eoutside of the mold and permits its easy removal from thehardened concrete. The mold is filled at the time its location isreached in the normal course of concrete placement. Thespecimen in the “cured-in-place” condition is removed from itsin-place location immediately prior to de-molding, capping,a
10、nd testing. The reported compressive strength is corrected onthe basis of specimen length-diameter ratio using correctionfactors provided in the section on calculation of Test MethodC 42/C 42M.4. Significance and Use4.1 Cast-in-place cylinder strength relates to the strength ofconcrete in the struct
11、ure due to the similarity of curingconditions since the cylinder is cured within the slab. However,due to differences in moisture condition, degree of consolida-tion, specimen size, and length-diameter ratio, there is not aconstant relationship between the strength of cast-in-placecylinders and core
12、s. When cores can be drilled undamaged andtested in the same moisture condition as the cast-in-placecylinders, the strength of the cylinders can be expected to be onaverage 10 % higher than the cores at ages up to 91 days forspecimens of the same size and length-diameter ratio.44.2 Strength of cast-
13、in-place cylinders may be used forvarious purposes, such as estimating the load-bearing capacity1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee C09 onConcrete and Concrete Aggregates, and is the direct responsibility of SubcommitteeC09.61 on Testing for Strength.Current edition approve

The length-diameter ratio (L/D) of the specimen after capping shall not beless than 1.0 and should preferably be between 1.5 and 2.0.Molds (inner member) s
18、hall be constructed in one piece in theform of right circular cylinders at least 4 in. 100 mm in insidediameter with the average diameter not differing from thenominal diameter by more than 1 % and no individual diameterdiffering from any other diameter by more than 2 %. The planeof the rim of the m
19、old and the bottom shall be perpendicular tothe axis of the mold within 0.5 (approximately equivalent to18 in. in 12 in. 1 mm in 100 mm).5.2 Molds shall be watertight and meet the criteria of thesection on water leakage of Specification C 470/C 470M.Molds and auxiliary apparatus shall be made of non
20、absorbentmaterial that does not react with concrete containing portlandFIG. 1 Schematic of Cast-in-Place Cylinder Mold AssemblyC873042or other hydraulic cements. They shall be sufficiently strongand tough to permit use under normal construction conditionswithout tearing, crushing, or otherwise defor
21、ming when filledwith fresh concrete. They shall resist deformation to the extentthat they produce hardened concrete cylinders such that twodiameters measured at right angles to each other in anyhorizontal plane do not differ by more than116 in. 2.0 mm.5.3 The exterior top of the mold shall have outw
22、ardlyextending centering knobs and an annular flange to rest on topof the support member (5.4) and to seal the annular ring spacebetween the mold and that support member. Means for twistingand vertical withdrawal of molds shall be provided in theannular flange (see Fig. 1).5.4 Support members shall
23、be right circular cylinders andshall be rigid tubes of diameter required to accommodatemolds stipulated in 5.1 and to concentrically contact andsupport the annular flange of the mold. Support members shallbe provided with a means for height adjustment and shall befitted with exterior means to permit

Installation of Apparatus6.1 After completion of reinforcing steel placement andother formwork preparation, fast
25、en the support member to slabforms using nails or screws. Adjust the support member so thatthe tops of the molds are aligned with the elevation of otherscreeds. The location of mold assemblies should be noted onthe project plans for easy location after concrete placement,and for identification.6.2 P
26、lace the mold in the support member so that the flangeof the mold is uniformly supported by the sleeve to preventconcrete or mortar from penetrating into the space between themold and support member.NOTE 1Insertion of compressible material between the support mem-ber and the mold is permitted to pre

Fill the molds when the concreteplacement progresses to the vicinity of mold location.7.2 Consolidation of concrete in the mold may be varied tosimulate the c
28、onditions of placement. In normal field construc-tion practice, if the surrounding concrete is consolidated byinternal vibration, use the vibrator externally, briefly touchingthe exterior of the mold support member. Internal vibration ofconcrete in the mold is prohibited except under specialcircumst
29、ances, which shall be explained in the report of testresults. Subject the specimen surface to the same finishing asthe surrounding concrete.7.3 Curing of SpecimensSubject the specimens to thesame curing and treatment as provided to the surroundingconcrete. Record maximum and minimum slab surface tem

From the time ofremoval fr
31、om the structure until time of test, maintain testspecimens at a temperature within 610 F 66 C of the slabsurface temperature at the time of removal. Transport speci-mens to the laboratory within 4 h after removal. Duringtransportation protect the specimens with suitable material toprevent damage fr

Precision and Bias10.1 PrecisionThe single-operator coefficient of variationhas been found to be 3.5 %5for a range of compressivestrength between 1500 and 6000 psi 10 and 41 MPa.6Therefore, r
39、esults of two properly conducted tests by the sameoperator on the same sample of concrete should not differ fromeach other by more than 10.0 %5of their average. Largerdifferences may be due to improperly prepared specimens oractual strength differences because of different batches ofconcrete or diff
40、erent curing conditions.10.2 BiasThe bias of this test method cannot be deter-mined because the strength of a cast-in-place cylindricalspecimen can only be obtained by using this test method.11.
