1、Designation: C902 11 C902 12Standard Specification forPedestrian and Light Traffic Paving Brick1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C902; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A
2、number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This specification covers brick intended for use as paving material subjected to pedestrian and light vehicular traffic. Theunits are
3、designed for use in pedestrian applications and vehicular areas that are subjected to low volumes of vehicular traffic, suchas residential driveways and streets and commercial driveways (passenger drop-offs). The units are not intended to support heavyvehicular traffic covered by Specification C1272
4、 or for industrial applications covered by Specification C410.NOTE 1Heavy vehicular traffic is defined as high volumes of heavy vehicles (trucks having 3 or more axles) in Specification C1272.1.2 The property requirements of this specification apply at the time of purchase. The use of results from t
5、esting of brickextracted from masonry structures for determining conformance or nonconformance to the property requirements (Section 4) ofthis specification is beyond the scope of this specification.1.3 Brick are manufactured from clay, shale, or similar naturally occurring earthy substances and sub
6、jected to a heat treatmentat elevated temperatures (firing). The heat treatment must develop sufficient fired bond between the particulate constituents toprovide the strength and durability requirement of this specification (see Terminology C1232).1.4 The brick are available in a variety of sizes, c
7、olors, and shapes. They are available in three classes according to exposureenvironment and three types according to type of traffic exposure.1.5 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard.

There is no known testthat can predict weathering resistance with complete accuracy.Brick in general is superior in weathering resistance to other building materials. There are innumerable instances of satisfactory performance beyond200 years
29、 and even into the thousands of years. Nevertheless, there are some brick that cannot survive a few winters of a severe freezing and thawingenvironment.The durability requirements of the specification attempt to exclude such brick.

Nevertheless,it is known that some brick that meet this specification may not be serviceable in severe climates. Furthermore, other brick that do not meet the
33、sespecifications may show superior serviceability in the most severe climate. The best indication of brick durability is its service experience record.4.2 Abrasion ResistanceThe brick shall meet the requirements of either column (1) or (2) of Table 2 for the applicable trafficuse (see 3.1.2).3NOTE 9
34、Skid/slip resistance should be considered by the purchaser for uses of brick where pedestrian traffic is anticipated.

The volume loss shall be calculated from
45、the bulkdensity of the modeling clay. The bulk density shall be determined on each lot ofmodeling clay.An alternative method of determining the weight of clay used in filing the sand-blast cavity is to determine the weight of the modeling clay sample before and afterfilling the cavity.C902 1236.

When the efflorescence test is requested by the specifier or purchaser, the brick shall be sampled at the place ofmanufacture, and tested in accordance
47、 with Test Methods C67, and a rating for efflorescence shall be “not effloresced.” If the ratingfor efflorescence is “effloresced,” the brick represented by the testing do not meet the efflorescence requirements of thisspecification.7.
