United States13.2 Store concrete masonry units off the ground to prevent contamination by mud, dust, and materials likely to cause stainingor other defects, and protect from rain.4. Materi
17、als and Manufacture4.1 Concrete masonry units shall be clean and shall meet the requirements of either Specifications C55, C90, or C129. Thesurface to receive surface bonding mortar shall be free of paint, oil, efflorescence, or foreign materials that interfere with bonding.4.2 Surface bonding morta
18、r shall meet the requirements of Specification C887. If the dry mix contains hard lumps, it shall notbe used.4.3 Leveling course shall be bedded with a mortar meeting either Specification C270 or Specification C887.4.4 Shims shall be corrosion-resistant metal or plastic with a minimum compressive st
19、rength of 2000 psi (13.8 MPa), or steelprotected from corrosion by a coating of zinc at least 0.8 oz/ft2 (2.4 gm/mm2), or by a coating of cadmium or zinc of equivalentcorrosion resistance.5. Leveling Courses5.1 Leveling courses, when needed, are to provide a smooth surface level within 14 in. (6.35
20、mm) in 20 ft (6.1 m), for drystacking concrete masonry units. Leveling courses shall be located whenever a vertical difference greater than 12 in. (12.7 mm)in 10 ft (3.0 m) occurs within one course. Leveling courses are usually located on the first course above the foundation, becausefootings are no
21、t normally placed in a level condition, and at each floor level.5.2 When Specification C270 mortar or surface bonding mortar is used a leveling course, concrete masonry units shall be setin a full bed of mortar, laid to a line with the top surface level, as defined in 5.1, and butted together with n
22、o mortar in the headjoints. Bed joints shall be struck flush. If the cores are to be grouted, no mortar shall be placed in the space to receive grout.5.3 Allow the levelling mortar to set sufficiently so no movement breaks the bond while dry stacking units in subsequentcourses.6. Dry-Stacking Concre
23、te Masonry Units6.1 Courses of concrete masonry units between the leveling courses shall be placed without mortar on the bed or head joints.Place units in running bond. Remove burrs and butt blocks tightly.6.2 Use shims, mortar, or surface bonding mortar to plumb and level individual units when nece
24、ssary.6.3 Check the wall every fourth course to be certain it is plumb and level. If any course is out of level by more than 12 in. (12.7mm) in 10 ft (3.0 m), another leveling course shall be built.6.4 Cut masonry units to fit openings. Minimum length of cut piece used in the wall shall be 114 in. (
25、31.8 mm).6.5 Precut units for inserts indicated on drawings.6.6 Anchors, reinforcing, flashing, lintels, and other items to be built in shall be installed as the stacking progresses. Cut or notchmasonry units as required.NOTE 2Special consideration must be given to the placement of built-in items. S
26、urface bonding mortar requires approximately 114 in. (31.8 mm)from the edge of a unit to develop tensile strength across the joint. Layout of the first course with respect to built in items is extremely important, itdetermines the size of the cut pieces for closure.NOTE 3Utilities such as electrical
27、 lines and plumbing located in the cores of the units are best placed prior to the application of surface bonding mortarwhile the concrete masonry units are visible.6.7 Cores to be filled with grout shall be aligned to provide a continuous, unobstructed opening.6.8 Where a horizontal change in wall
28、thickness occurs, the thicker portion shall end with a solid surface. Use a leveling coursefor the first course in the upper portion.7. Mixing Surface Bonding Mortar7.1 Use clean mixing equipment and water free of deleterious amounts of acid, alkali, and organic materials.7.2 Surface bonding mortar
29、shall be mixed according to the manufacturers instructions and used within the time recommendedby the manufacturer.7.3 Mix only full bag multiples of material to overcome any segregation of ingredients while in the package.7.4 Mixing time shall be kept to a minimum, as over-mixing may cause damage t
30、o fibers in Specification C887 mortar.7.5 Hand Mixing:7.5.1 Place water in the mixing container.7.5.2 Slowly add the dry surface bonding material.7.5.3 Mix thoroughly.C946 1827.6 Machine Mixing:7.6.1 Place water in mixer.7.6.2 Add the surface bonding material to the operating mixer.7.6.3 Mix thoroug
31、hly, 1 to 3 min after all materials have been added.7.7 The mixture should be creamy, nonlumpy, and easy to apply.7.8 Admixtures may be permitted within the limits set by Specification C887 and the manufacturer of the surface bondingmortar. If desired, admixtures must be specified in the contract do
32、cuments.8. Application of Surface Bonding Mortar8.1 Wet the wall uniformly with water immediately before applying surface bonding mortar to prevent excessive suction ofwater from the surface bonding mortar. If the wall dries prior to application, rewet it. Avoid saturating the units.8.2 Trowel- or s
33、pray-apply surface bonding mortar to both sides of the dry-stacked concrete masonry units.8.3 Completely cover the wall surface with a minimum thickness of 18 in. (3.2 mm) of surface bonding mortar by trowel orspray.8.4 When a second coat of surface bonding mortar is to be applied, the first coat sh
34、all have taken its initial set but not becompletely hardened or dried out. If the first coat has completely hardened or dried out, consult the manufacturersrecommendations for application of a second coat, since a bonding agent may be required.8.5 Finish to the texture specified.8.6 If application o
35、f surface bonding mortar is discontinued for more than 1 h, the horizontal joint between the two applications,other than at wall tops, must occur at least 114 in. (31.8 mm) from the horizontal edge of the concrete masonry unit.9. Curing and Protection9.1 At ambient temperatures below 40F (4.4C) or a
36、bove 90F (32.2C), follow the Specification for Masonry Structures (TMS602-08/ACI 530.1-08/ASCE 6-08).602-16).9.2 Dampen the wall with a water mist after 8 h, but within 24 h of application of the surface bonding mortar.9.3 Fog spray twice within the first 24 h from application of the surface bonding
37、 mortar. With pigmented mortar, the time maybe extended to 48 h. With maximum temperature in excess of 90F (32.2C), wind speed greater than 20 mph (32.2 km/h), or meanrelative humidity less than 50 % relative humidity, more frequent application of fog spray shall be necessary.9.4 The top of the wall
38、s shall be covered with a nonstaining, waterproof covering, extending at least 2 ft (0.6 m) on each sideof the wall to prevent moisture from entering the wall until the top is permanently protected.10.
