Terminology3.1 For common definitions of terms used in this testmethod, refer to Terminology D 653.3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 curing conditionsthe environment, particularly tem-peratur
7、e and humidity, and state of confinement at which aspecimen is stored during the time interval between fabricationand testing.3.2.2 unconfined compressive strengththe load per unitarea at which an unconfined cylindrical specimen of soil willfail in a simple compressive test. Failure is defined as th
8、emaximum load attained per unit area, or the load per unit areaat 20 % strain, whichever occurs first.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 A cylindrical specimen of chemically grouted soil issubjected to a (approximate) constant rate of compressivestrain until it fails.5. Significance and Use5.1 The purpose
9、 of this test method is to obtain values forcomparison with other test values to verify uniformity ofmaterials or the effects of controllable variables, in grout-soilcompositions.5.2 This test method is similar, in principle, to Test MethodD 2166, but is not intended for determination of strengthpar
10、ameters to be used in design. Such values are more properlyobtained from long-term triaxial tests.NOTE 1The quality of the result produced by this standard isdependent on the competence of the personnel performing it, and thesuitability of the equipment and facilities used. Agencies that meet thecri
11、teria of Practice D 3740 are generally considered capable of competentand objective testing/sampling/inspection/etc. Users of this standard arecautioned that compliance with Practice D 3740 does not in itself assurereliable results. Reliable results depend on many factors; Practice D 3740provides a
12、means of evaluating some of those factors.6. Apparatus6.1 Compression DeviceThe compression testing ma-chine may be of any type having sufficient capacity and controlto provide the rate of loading prescribed in 8.4. It shall conformto the requirements of Section 15 of Practices E 4.6.1.1 Bearing Sur
13、facesThe testing machine shall beequipped with two steel bearing blocks having a Rockwellhardness of not less than 55 HRC. One of the blocks shall bespherically seated and normally will bear on the upper surfaceof the specimen. The other bearing block may be either a plainrigid block or spherically
14、seated block on which the specimenwill rest. The bearing faces shall not depart from a plane bymore than 0.0004 in. (0.010 mm) when the blocks are new, andshall be maintained within a permissible variation of 0.001 in.(0.02 mm). The center of the sphere for the spherically seated1This method is unde

The movable portion of the bearing block shall beheld closely in the spherical seat, but the design shall be suchthat the bearing face can be rotated and tilted through smallangles in any direction.6.1.2 Deformation Indicator, shall be a
18、 dial indicator gradu-ated to 0.001 in. (0.02 mm) and having a travel range of at least20 % of the length of the test specimen.6.1.2.1 For true strain measurements, particularly on stiffspecimens, the dial indicator attachment must be made so thataverage axial strain is measured. This eliminates the
19、 possibilityof negative readings due to tilting of the load platens.6.1.3 DynamometerThe load-measuring devices shall becapable of measuring unit load to within 0.01 ton/ft2(0.15 psi)(1 kPa) for specimens with an unconfined compressive strengthof less than 1 ton/ft2(15 psi) (100 kPa), and for strong
20、ersamples, the devices shall be capable of measuring unit load tothe nearest 0.05 ton/ft2(0.75 psi) (5 kPa).7. Preparation of Test Specimens7.1 Specimen SizeThe test specimens shall have a length-to-diameter ratio between 2 and 3, preferably 2.5. Samplediameter shall be greater than 10 times the max
21、imum specimenparticle size, and not less than 1.4 in. (35 mm). For proceduresrelating to particle-size analysis, see Method D 422. Testspecimens shall be right circular cylinders. (When new testdata are only for comparison with existing data from non-standard samples, sample dimensions conforming to
22、 thosepreviously used are acceptable.)7.2 Specimen FabricationLaboratory specimens shallpreferably be made by pumping catalysed grout solutionthrough the soil matrix utilizing procedures in Test MethodD 4320. Specimens may also be made by pouring the soilmatrix into a catalysed grout solution, or by
23、 adding catalysedgrout to a container of soil matrix. If the latter two proceduresdo not produce uniform samples at the desired density, thepumping method must be used. (When new test data are onlyfor comparison with existing data from non-standard prepara-tion methods, the methods previously used a
24、re acceptable.)7.3 Curing ConditionsSpecimens should be cured undermoisture conditions approaching those in-situ. When in-situconditions are not known, specimens should be cured in thecontainers in which they were made, stored under conditionswhich prevent moisture loss or volume change of the speci
25、-men. Permissible exceptions are for tests run to evaluatewet-dry and freeze-thaw cycles.NOTE 2Strength increases with time for many grout formulations.7.4 End ConditionsThe ends of specimens to be testedshall be smooth, perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, and ofthe same diameter as the specimen
26、. Capping materials such asPlaster of Paris or neat cement, which do not change the groutcharacteristics at the contact zone, may be used to improve endconditions.NOTE 3Tensile failure (vertical cracking through the specimen ends)should be avoided by the use of capping materials.8. Procedure8.1 Meas
27、ure the specimen length and diameter to the nearest0.01 in. (0.2 mm) at several places to obtain average values.8.2 Check the ability of the spherical seat to rotate freely inits socket(s) before each test.8.3 Clean the bearing faces of the upper and lower bearingblocks and of the test specimen and
28、place the test specimen onthe lower bearing block. Carefully align the axis of thespecimen with the center of thrust of the spherically seatedblock(s). Adjust the movable portion of the spherically seatedblock so that uniform seating is obtained.8.4 Apply the load continuously and without shock topr
29、oduce an approximate constant rate of load or deformation.In no case shall failure occur in less than 2 min, nor shallmaximum strain rate exceed 1 %/min.NOTE 4Stiffer materials require slower strain rates.9. Calculation9.1 Calculate the unconfined compressive strength of thespecimen by dividing the
30、maximum load carried by thespecimen during the test by the initial cross-sectional area. Thearea may alternatively be calculated from dimensions obtainedby direct measurement when the diameter can be measured.10.
