Ordering Information6.1 In the absence of designated applicable general sp
30、ecifi-cations, the purchaser shall specify the following:6.1.1 Designated size, or sizes, of coarse aggregate,6.1.2 Slump, or slumps, desired at the point of delivery (seeSection 7 for acceptable tolerances),6.1.3 When air-entrained concrete is specified, the air con-tent of the samples taken at the
31、 point of discharge from thetransportation unit (see Section 8 and Table 1 for the total aircontent and tolerances) (Note 4),6.1.4 Which of Options A, B, or C shall be used as a basisfor determining the proportions of the concrete to produce therequired quality,6.1.5 When structural lightweight conc
32、rete is specified, themass per unit volume as wet mass, air-dry mass, or oven-drymass (Note 5), and6.1.6 If desired, any of the optional requirements of Table 2in Specification C 1602/C 1602M.NOTE 4In selecting the specified air content, the purchaser shouldconsider the exposure conditions to which
33、the concrete will be subjected.Air contents less than shown in Table 1 may not give the requiredresistance to freezing and thawing, which is the primary purpose of4Available from American Concrete Institute (ACI), P.O.

Air contents higher than the levels shown mayreduce strength without contributing any further improvement of durabil-ity.NOTE 5The mass per unit volume of fresh concrete, which is
35、 the onlyunit mass determinable at the time of delivery, is always higher than theair-dry or oven-dry mass. Definitions of, and methods for determining orcalculating air-dry and oven-dry masses, are covered by Test MethodC 567.6.2 Option A:6.2.1 When the purchaser requires the manufacturer toassume
36、full responsibility for the selection of the proportionsfor the concrete mixture (Note 6), the purchaser shall alsospecify the following:6.2.1.1 Requirements for compressive strength as deter-mined on samples taken from the transportation unit at thepoint of discharge evaluated in accordance with Se
37、ction 18.The purchaser shall specify the requirements in terms of thecompressive strength of standard specimens cured under stan-dard laboratory conditions for moist curing (see Section 18).Unless otherwise specified the age at test shall be 28 days.NOTE 6The purchaser, in selecting requirements for
38、 which he as-sumes responsibility should give consideration to requirements for work-ability, placeability, durability, surface texture, and density, in addition tothose for structural design. The purchaser is referred to Standard PracticeACI 211.1 and Standard Practice ACI 211.2 for the selection o
39、f propor-tions that will result in concrete suitable for various types of structures andconditions of exposure. The water-cement ratio of most structural light-weight concretes cannot be determined with sufficient accuracy for use asa specification basis.6.2.2 At the request of the purchaser, the ma
40、nufacturer shall,prior to the actual delivery of the concrete, furnish a statementto the purchaser, giving the dry masses of cement and saturatedsurface-dry-masses of fine and coarse aggregate and quantities,type, and name of admixtures (if any) and of water per cubicyard or cubic metre of concrete
41、that will be used in themanufacture of each class of concrete ordered by the purchaser.He shall also furnish evidence satisfactory to the purchaser thatthe materials to be used and proportions selected will produceconcrete of the quality specified.6.3 Option B:6.3.1 When the purchaser assumes respon
42、sibility for theproportioning of the concrete mixture, he shall also specify thefollowing:6.3.1.1 Cement content in bags or pounds per cubic yardkilograms per cubic metre of concrete,6.3.1.2 Maximum allowable water content in gallons percubic yard litres per cubic metre of concrete, includingsurface
43、 moisture on the aggregates, but excluding water ofabsorption (Note 6), and6.3.1.3 If admixtures are required, the type, name, anddosage to be used. The cement content shall not be reducedwhen admixtures are used under this option without the writtenapproval of the purchaser.6.3.2 At the request of
44、the purchaser, the manufacturer shall,prior to the actual delivery of the concrete, furnish a statementto the purchaser giving the sources, densities, and sieveanalyses of the aggregates and the dry masses of cement andsaturated-surface-dry masses of fine and coarse aggregate andquantities, type and
45、 name of admixture (if any) and of waterper cubic yard or cubic metre of concrete that will be used inthe manufacture of each class of concrete ordered by thepurchaser.6.4 Option C:6.4.1 When the purchaser requires the manufacturer toassume responsibility for the selection of the proportions forthe
46、concrete mixture with the minimum allowable cementcontent specified (Note 7), the purchaser shall also specify thefollowing:6.4.1.1 Required compressive strength as determined onsamples taken from the transportation unit at the point ofdischarge evaluated in accordance with Section 18. The pur-chase
47、r shall specify the requirements for strength in terms oftests of standard specimens cured under standard laboratoryconditions for moist curing (see Section 18). Unless otherwisespecified the age at test shall be 28 days.6.4.1.2 Minimum cement content in bags or pounds percubic yard kilograms per cu
48、bic metre of concrete.6.4.1.3 If admixtures are required, the type, name, anddosage to be used. The cement content shall not be reducedwhen admixtures are used.NOTE 7Option C can be distinctive and useful only if the designatedminimum cement content is at about the same level that would ordinarilybe
49、 required for the strength, aggregate size, and slump specified. At thesame time, it must be an amount that will be sufficient to ensure durabilityunder expected service conditions, as well as satisfactory surface textureand density, in the event specified strength is attained with it.
