Therefore, a range of dosagesshould be allowed, which will permit obtaining the desired effect.NOTE 4Interchanging kinds,
34、 characteristics, types, classes, or grades of the materials permitted in ready-mixed concrete may produce concrete ofdifferent properties.6. Ordering Information6.1 In the absence of designated applicable general specifications, the purchasers order shall include the following:6.1.1 Designated size
35、, or sizes, of coarse aggregate,6.1.2 Slump, or slumps, desired at the point of delivery (see Section 7 for acceptable tolerances),6.1.3 Slump flow, or flows, desired at the point of delivery (see Section 7 for acceptable tolerances),6.1.4 Total air content at the point of delivery for concrete that
36、 will be exposed to cycles of freezing and thawing or anticipatedexposure of the concrete (see Section 8 for sampling for air content tests and tolerances).NOTE 5Table 1 provides total air contents for concrete that vary by exposure condition and aggregate size. Total air contents less than those sh
37、ownin Table 1 may be specified or used for concrete that is not subject to freezing and thawing. This may be done to improve workability and cohesiveness,reduce the rate of bleeding, reduce the water content for a given consistency, or achieve required lightweight concrete density. Specified total a
38、ir contentshigher than those shown in Table 1 may reduce strength without any further improvement of durability.Exposure conditions for freezing and thawing environments in Table 1 correspond to the following:Moderate ExposureConcrete exposed to freeze-thaw cycles but not in contact with the ground
39、or with limited exposure to water, limiting the abilityto cause saturation of a portion of the concrete prior to freezing. The concrete shall not receive deicing salts or other aggressive chemicals. Examplesinclude: exterior beams, columns, walls, girders, footings below the frost line, or elevated
40、slabs where application of deicing salt is not anticipated. Theair content requirements for this exposure are consistent with those for Exposure Class F1 of ACI 318.Severe ExposureConcrete exposed to freeze-thaw cycles while in contact with the ground or with frequent exposure to water, potentially
41、causingsaturation of a portion of the concrete prior to freezing. The concrete 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 requirements for this expo
42、sure areconsistent with those for Exposure Classes F2 and F3 of ACI 318.6.1.5 Which of Options A, B, or C shall be used as a basis for determining the proportions of the concrete to produce therequired quality,6.1.6 When lightweight concrete is specified, the equilibrium density,NOTE 6The density of
43、 fresh concrete is the only measurable density of lightweight concrete at the time of delivery. The density of fresh concreteis always higher than the equilibrium or oven-dry density. Therefore, for acceptance of lightweight concrete based on density at the time of delivery, arelationship between th
44、e equilibrium density and density of fresh concrete needs to be established. Definitions of, and methods for determining orcalculating equilibrium and oven-dry density, are covered by Test Method C567/C567M.6.1.7 When high-density or heavyweight concrete is specified, the density of fresh concrete,
45、andNOTE 7High-density or heavyweight concrete typically contains aggregate with a relative density of 3.3 or greater conforming to Specification C637.This concrete is used for radiation shielding or other applications where higher density is required by design. For acceptance of density at the time
46、ofdelivery, a relationship between the fresh density and the density of hardened concrete required by design should be established.6.1.8 If desired, any of the optional requirements of Table 2 in Specification C1602/C1602M.6.1.9 Purchaser shall state any drum revolution limit as to when the concrete
47、 discharge must begin. If no drum revolution limitis stated by purchaser, the manufacturer shall determine and 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 inclu
