33、ess than shown in Table 1 may not give the requiredresistance to freezing and thawing, which is the primary purpose ofair-entrained concrete. Air contents higher than the levels shown mayreduce strength without contributing any further improvement of durabil-ity.4Available from American Concrete Ins

Box 9094, FarmingtonHills, MI 48333-9094, http:/www.concrete.org.C94/C94M 10a2NOTE 5The mass per unit volume of fresh concrete, which is the onlyunit mass determinable at the time of delivery, is always higher than theair-dry or oven-dry mass. Definitions of, and methods for deter
35、mining orcalculating air-dry and oven-dry masses, are covered by Test MethodC567.6.2 Option A:6.2.1 When the purchaser requires the manufacturer toassume full responsibility for the selection of the proportionsfor the concrete mixture (Note 6), the purchaser shall alsospecify the following:6.2.1.1 R
36、equirements for compressive strength as deter-mined on samples taken from the transportation unit at thepoint of discharge evaluated in accordance with Section 18.The purchaser shall specify the requirements in terms of thecompressive strength of standard specimens cured under stan-dard laboratory c

38、ty, in addition tothose for structural design. The purchaser is referred to Standard PracticeACI 211.1 and Standard Practice ACI 211.2 for the selection of propor-tions that will result in concrete suitable for various types of structures andconditions of exposure. The water-cement ratio of most str

45、dered by thepurchaser.6.4 Option C:6.4.1 When the purchaser requires the manufacturer toassume responsibility for the selection of the proportions forthe concrete mixture with the minimum allowable cementcontent specified (Note 7), the purchaser shall also specify thefollowing:6.4.1.1 Required compr
46、essive strength as determined onsamples taken from the transportation unit at the point ofdischarge evaluated in accordance with Section 18. The pur-chaser shall specify the requirements for strength in terms oftests of standard specimens cured under standard laboratoryconditions for moist curing (s
47、ee 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 cubic 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 admixt
48、ures 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 required for the strength, aggregate size, and slump or slump flowspecified. At the same time, it must be an amount that will be sufficient toens
