31、on 7 for acceptable tolerances),6.1.4 Total air content at the point of delivery for concretethat will be exposed to cycles of freezing and thawing oranticipated exposure of the concrete (see Section 8 for sam-pling for air content tests and tolerances).4Available from American Concrete Institute (A

Total air contents less than thoseshown in Table 1 may be specified or used for conc
34、rete that is not subjectto freezing and thawing. This may be done to improve workability andcohesiveness, reduce the rate of bleeding, reduce the water content for agiven consistency, or achieve required lightweight concrete density.Specified total air contents higher than those shown in Table 1 may
35、 reducestrength without any further improvement of durability.Exposure conditions for freezing and thawing environments in Table 1correspond to the following:Moderate ExposureConcrete exposed to freeze-thaw cycles but notin contact with the ground or with limited exposure to water, limiting theabili
36、ty to cause saturation of a portion of the concrete prior to freezing.The concrete shall not receive deicing salts or other aggressive chemicals.Examples include: exterior beams, columns, walls, girders, footings belowthe frost line, or elevated slabs where application of deicing salt is notanticipa
37、ted. The air content requirements for this exposure are consistentwith those for Exposure Class F1 of ACI 318.Severe ExposureConcrete exposed to freeze-thaw cycles while incontact with the ground or with frequent exposure to water, potentiallycausing saturation of a portion of the concrete prior to
38、freezing. Theconcrete may receive deicing chemicals or other aggressive chemicals.Examples include: pavements, bridge decks, curbs, gutters, sidewalks,canal linings, or exterior water tanks or sumps. The air content require-ments for this exposure are consistent with those for Exposure Classes F2and
39、 F3 of ACI 318.6.1.5 Which of Options A, B, or C shall be used as a basisfor determining the proportions of the concrete to produce therequired quality,6.1.6 When lightweight concrete is specified, the equilib-rium density,NOTE 6The density of fresh concrete is the only measurable densityof lightwei
40、ght concrete at the time of delivery. The density of freshconcrete is always higher than the equilibrium or oven-dry density.Therefore, for acceptance of lightweight concrete based on density at thetime of delivery, a relationship between the equilibrium density anddensity of fresh concrete needs to
41、 be established. Definitions of, andmethods for determining or calculating equilibrium and oven-dry density,are covered by Test Method C567/C567M.6.1.7 When high-density or heavyweight concrete isspecified, the density of fresh concrete, andNOTE 7High-density or heavyweight concrete typically contai
42、nsaggregate with a relative density of 3.3 or greater conforming toSpecification C637. This concrete is used for radiation shielding or otherapplications where higher density is required by design. For acceptance ofdensity at the time of delivery, a relationship between the fresh density andthe dens
43、ity of hardened concrete required by design should be established.6.1.8 If desired, any of the optional requirements of Table 2in Specification C1602/C1602M.6.1.9 Purchaser shall state any drum revolution limit as towhen the concrete discharge must begin. If no drum revolutionlimit is stated by purc
44、haser, the manufacturer shall determineand communicate the limit to the purchaser prior to delivery.NOTE 8An example of a drum revolution limit would be “XXX”revolutions.6.2 If a project specification applies, the order shall includeapplicable requirements for the concrete to be produced incomplianc
45、e with the specification.6.3 If the type, kind, or class of cementitious materials in5.2.1 and 5.2.2 are not designated by the purchaser, it ispermitted to use cementitious materials in concrete mixturesthat will satisfy the concrete properties and other requirementsof the purchaser as ordered.6.4 O
46、ption A:6.4.1 When the purchaser requires the manufacturer toassume full responsibility for the selection of the proportionsfor the concrete mixture (Note 9), the purchaser shall alsospecify the following:6.4.1.1 Requirements for compressive strength as deter-mined on samples taken from the transpor
47、tation 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 conditions for moist curing (see Section 18).Unless otherwise specified the age at test
48、 shall be 28 days.NOTE 9The purchaser, in selecting requirements for which heassumes responsibility should give consideration to requirements forworkability, placeability, durability, surface texture, and density, in addi-tion to those for structural design. The purchaser is referred to StandardPrac
49、tice ACI 211.1 and Standard Practice ACI 211.2 for the selection ofproportions that will result in concrete suitable for various types ofstructures and conditions of exposure. The water-cement ratio of moststructural lightweight concretes cannot be determined with sufficientaccuracy for use as a specification basis.6.4.2 At the request of the purchaser, the manufacturer 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 qu
