24、phase at early days 3.2 water retention efficiency index the reduction in evaporation of water from the test specimen treated with a curing compound compared to an untreated specimen expressed as a percentage of the evaporation from the untreated specimen 4 Principle The test consists of: measuring
25、the quantity of water which evaporates, under specified conditions, from test specimens of concrete with and without the application of a curing compound, CEN/TS 14754-1:20075 calculating the curing efficiency index. 5 Apparatus a) non-absorbent watertight moulds of (50 000 5 000) mm2 surface area a
26、nd inside depth of (50 2) mm for the preparation of specimens made of concrete; b) vibrating table with a frequency of about 50 Hz and an amplitude of about 0.5 mm; c) scoop; d) steel float; e) non absorbent plates (e.g. glass, metal) of the same surface area as in a); f) Spray gun with a max. nozzl
27、e of 2 mm and a pressure of 1.0 MPa; g) balance of sufficient capacity to weigh the test specimens with an accuracy of 0.1 g; h) mask to ensure only the specified surface is treated; i) controlled room at (35 2) C and (40 3) % relative humidity with no air circulation on the top of the specimens or
28、ventilated room at (40 2) C NOTE Special arrangement to protect the specimens from air circulation is recommended. 6 Reference concrete 6.1 Constituent materials 6.1.1 Cement For the reference concrete use a CEM I - R cement conforming to EN 197-1. 6.1.2 Aggregate A natural normal weight aggregate c
29、onforming to EN 12620 with a water absorption 2 % by mass. Maximum nominal upper aggregate size 8 mm as defined in EN 206-1. 6.1.3 Additions To fulfil the requirements on bleeding or mat dry surface, additions according to the definitions in EN 206-1 may be used. 6.1.4 Mixing water Water conforming
30、to EN 1008. CEN/TS 14754-1:20076 6.2 Test concrete 6.2.1 Mix design Tests on reference concrete are performed as comparative tests. That is, the performance of curing agents is determined by comparing the treated concrete specimens with the untreated concrete specimens. All concrete specimens have t
31、he same mix design and constituent materials from the same delivery. Mix design by mass Cement: 1,0 Aggregates and additions: 3,0 Water: 0,42 6.2.2 Concrete properties The concrete shall be as dry as possible (slump class S1 when measured in accordance with EN 12350-2) but compactable and able to be
32、 finished to a perfectly closed and smooth surface. When tested in accordance with the procedure described in clause 6.3.2 and 7.3 there shall be no bleeding after compaction and the surface shall be mat dry within the time given in clause 7.3. The air content of the fresh concrete shall not exceed
33、3 % by volume when measured in accordance with EN 12350-7. 6.3 Production of reference concrete 6.3.1 Mix preparation Mix design shall be in accordance with clause 6.2. Aggregate is used in the oven dry condition to remove doubts on the moisture content variation. If the aggregate is not oven dry, t
34、he moisture content shall be determined and the specific gravity corrected accordingly. In case of dispute, oven dry aggregate shall be used. 6.3.2 Mixing procedure Prior to mixing, each of the constituents is conditioned to a temperature of (20 2) C. Mix the concrete in accordance with EN 480-1, ex
35、cept for the requirement for consistence, to ensure repeatability of results and eliminate the effect of initial absorption on consistence. Measure the air content in accordance with EN 12350-7 and the fresh concrete density in accordance with EN 12350-6 and make specimens after completion of mixing
36、. 7 Water retention efficiency test 7.1 Number of specimens For the test 3, concrete specimens are treated with curing compound, 3 concrete specimens are left untreated and 3 non-absorbent plates are treated with curing compound. CEN/TS 14754-1:20077 7.2 Determination of loss of solvent To determine
37、 the loss of solvent from the curing compound: Weigh the non-absorbent plate. Spray apply the curing compound at the manufacturers recommended rate. Immediately, reweigh the plate. Place the plate in the controlled room (5i) and reweigh at 6 h, 24 h and 72 h (+ 15 min). A total of 3 tests on differe
38、nt plates are carried out. Determine the coverage rate of the curing compound in g/m and the cumulative loss of solvent at each time interval. Individual and mean values are reported. 7.3 Procedure Fill the moulds with concrete in one layer and compact on the vibrating table for a maximum of 20 seco
39、nds. After compaction, finish the surface with a steel float, making the minimum number of passes and working along the length of the mould in both directions, to produce a uniform, flat, smooth and closed surface, free from undulations and surface defects. After the second water addition to the mix
40、, complete the compaction and finishing of the specimens within 45 minutes and record the time taken. After finishing the surface, store the specimens in the controlled room until the surface loses its wet sheen and record the time taken. If the time exceeds 30 min repeat the specimen preparation us
41、ing a revised test mix. As soon as the surface has lost its sheen, remove all 6 specimens from the controlled room. Weigh one specimen, cover with the mask, uniformly spray apply the curing membrane and check by intermediate weighing to obtain the manufacturers recommended rate of application. Rewei
42、gh the specimen to determine the applied weight of curing compound and the initial weight at tofor water loss determinations. Take a second specimen, leave untreated and weigh it to determine the initial weight at tofor water loss determinations. Return these two specimens to the controlled room and
43、 record the zero water loss time for this pair. Repeat this procedure for the remaining 4 specimens. Working in pairs, one test and one control specimen. All three pairs should be returned to the controlled room within 30 minutes. NOTE It can be an advantage to seal the seam between concrete and mou
44、ld with a strip of elastic material. Determine the difference of the weight before sealing and after sealing of protected and unprotected specimens to correct the weight. Keep the specimens, treated and untreated, in the controlled room for 72 h. In addition to determining the initial weight, reweig
45、h the specimens after 6 h, 24 h and 72 h. CEN/TS 14754-1:20078 8 Calculations The water retention efficiency is expressed by the curing efficiency index It. Calculate the curing efficiency index of the curing compound at the time t as a percentage from the equation: 100=RtCtRttMMMI (1) where: Itis t
