19、d possiblychemical admixtures that, as the cement hydrates, forms a soil replacement material. The CLSM is a self compacting, flowable,cementitious material that is primarily used as a backfill or structural fill instead of compacted fill or unsuitable native soil.Depending on the amount of water us

Significance and Use4.1 This practice shall be used to provide a representative sample of th
21、e material for the purpose of testing various properties.The procedures used in sampling shall include the use of every precaution that will assist in obtaining samples that are trulyrepresentative of the nature and condition of the CLSM.NOTE 2The quality of the result produced by this standard is d
22、ependent on the competence of the personnel performing it and the suitability of theequipment and facilities used. Agencies that meet the criteria of Practice D3740 are generally considered capable of competent and objectivetesting/sampling/inspection/ and the like. Users of this standard are cautio
23、ned that compliance with Practice D3740 does not in itself assure reliableresults. Reliable results depend on many factors. Practice D3740 provides a means of evaluating some of these factors.5. Apparatus5.1 Hand ToolsShovels, hand scoops, and rubber gloves as required.5.2 ReceptacleA container of s
24、uitable size size, 14 L 0.5 ft3, and having a non-absorbent surface.6. Sampling6.1 Size of SampleThe sample of CLSM for compressive strength testing shall be a minimum of 14 L(0.50.5 ft 3). For othertests, the composite size shall be large enough to perform the test and to ensure a representative sa
25、mple of the batch was taken.6.2 The procedures used in sampling shall include the use of every precaution that will assist in obtaining samples that are trulyrepresentative of the nature and condition of CLSM sampled as outlined in 7.1.7. Procedure7.1 Sampling from Revolving-Drum Truck Mixers or Agi
26、tatorsSample the CLSM by collecting two or more portions takenat regularly spaced intervals during discharge of the middle portion of the batch (Note 3). These samples shall be obtained withinthe time limit specified in 7.2 and composited into one sample for test purposes. In any case do not obtain
27、samples until after allwater has been added to the mixer; also do not obtain samples from the very first or last portions of the batch discharge (Note 4).Sample by repeatedly passing a receptacle through the entire discharge stream or by completely diverting the discharge into asample container. Reg
28、ulate the rate of discharge of the batch by the rate of revolution of the drum and not by the size of the gateopening.NOTE 3Sampling normally should be performed on the CLSM as delivered from the truck to the job site excavation.NOTE 4No samples should be taken before 10 % or after 90 % of the batch
29、 has been discharged. Due to the difficulty of determining the actualquantity of CLSM discharged, the intent is to provide samples that are representative of widely separated portions, but not the beginning and the end ofthe load.7.2 The elapsed time between obtaining the first and final portions of
30、 the composite sample shall be as short as possible andin no instance shall it exceed 2 min.7.3 Transport the composite samples to the place where fresh CLSM tests are to be performed or where test specimens are tobe molded. The composite sample shall be combined and remixed with a shovel or scoop t
31、he minimum amount necessary to ensureuniformity and compliance with the minimum time limits specified in 7.4.7.4 Start tests for flow consistency (Test Method D6103), density (unit weight), and air content (Test Method D6023) within5 min after obtaining the final portion of the composite sample. Com
32、plete these tests as expeditiously as possible. Start moldingspecimens for strength tests (Test Method D4832) within 10 min after obtaining the final portion of the composite sample. Keepthe elapsed time between obtaining and using the sample as short as possible and protect the sample from the sun,
33、 wind, and othersources of rapid evaporation, and from contamination.8.
