Scope*1.1 This specification covers ready-mixed concrete as defined
3、 in 3.2.2 (Note 1). Requirements for quality of ready-mixedconcrete shall be either as stated in this specification or as ordered by the purchaser. When the purchasers requirements, as statedin the order, differ from those in this specification, the purchasers requirements shall govern. This specifi
4、cation does not cover theplacement, consolidation, curing, or protection of the concrete after delivery to the purchaser.NOTE 1Concrete produced by volumetric batching and continuous mixing is covered in Specification C685. Fiber-reinforced concrete is covered inSpecification C1116.1.2 The values st
5、ated in either SI units, shown in brackets, or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. Thevalues stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other.Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance
6、 with the standard.1.3 As used throughout this specification the manufacturer produces ready-mixed concrete. The purchaser buys ready-mixedconcrete.1.4 The text of this standard references notes and footnotes which provide explanatory material. These notes and footnotes(excluding those in tables and
7、 figures) shall not be considered as requirements of the standard.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility ofthe user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applic

Ordering Information6.1 In the absence of designated applicable general specifications, the purchasers order shall include the following:6.1.1 Designated size, or sizes, of coarse aggregate,6.1.2 Slump, or slumps
36、, 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 will be exposed to cycles of freezing and thawing or
37、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 shownin Table 1 may be specified or used for concrete th
38、at 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 air contentshigher than those shown in Table 1 may redu
39、ce 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 or with limited exposure to water, limiting the abilit
40、yto 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 slabs where application of deicing salt is not anticip
41、ated. 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 causingsaturation of a portion of the concrete prior t
42、o 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 exposure areconsistent with those for Exposure Classes F2
43、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 fresh concrete is the only measurable density of ligh

Therefore, for acceptance of lightweight concrete based on density at the time of delivery, arelationship between the equilibrium density and density of fresh concrete ne
45、eds 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, andNOTE 7High-density or heavyweight concrete typicall
46、y 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 ofdelivery, a relationship between the fresh density a
47、nd 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 discharge must begin. If no drum revolution limitis s
48、tated by purchaser, the manufacturer shall determine and communicate the limit to the purchaser prior to delivery.6.2 If a project specification applies, the order shall include applicable requirements for the concrete to be produced incompliance with the specification.TABLE 1 Total Air Content for
