ASTM C1105 – Standard Test Method for Length Change of Concrete Due to Alkali-Carbonate Rock Reaction Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Two types of alkali reactivity of aggregates have been described in the literature: the alkali-silica reaction involving certain siliceous rocks, minerals, and artificial glasses (1),3 and the alkali-carbonate reaction involving dolomite in certain calcitic dolomites and dolomitic …
ASTM C1104 – Standard Test Method for Determining the Water Vapor Sorption of Unfaced Mineral Fiber Insulation Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The sorption of water can result in an increase in weight and a resultant potential degradation of the properties of the insulation. Scope 1.1 This test method covers the determination of the amount of water …
ASTM C110 – Standard Test Methods for Physical Testing of Quicklime, Hydrated Lime, and Limestone Description: Abstract These test methods cover physical testing of quicklime, hydrated lime, and limestone. Plastic property testing shall include test methods for standard consistency and plasticity of lime putty, water retention of hydrated lime, and air entrainment. Soundness testing shall …
ASTM C1099 – Standard Test Method for Modulus of Rupture of Carbon-Containing Refractory Materials at Elevated Temperatures Description: Significance and Use 3.1 The modulus of rupture of carbon-containing refractories at elevated temperatures has become accepted as a useful measurement in quality control testing and in research and development. These measurements are also used to determine the …
ASTM C1090 – Standard Test Method for Measuring Changes in Height of Cylindrical Specimens of Hydraulic-Cement Grout Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method is intended to provide a means of assessing the ability of a hydraulic-cement grout to retain a stable volume during the stipulated testing period of 28 days, provided that the tendency …
ASTM C1084 – Standard Test Method for Portland-Cement Content of Hardened Hydraulic-Cement Concrete Description: Significance and Use 3.1 This test method consists of two independent procedures: an oxide-analysis procedure that consists of two sub-procedures and an extraction procedure. Each procedure requires a substantial degree of chemical skill and relatively elaborate chemical instrumentation. Except for the influence …
ASTM C1077 – Standard Practice for Agencies Testing Concrete and Concrete Aggregates for Use in Construction and Criteria for Testing Agency Evaluation Description: Significance and Use 4.1 The testing and inspection of concrete and concrete aggregates are important elements in obtaining quality construction. A testing agency providing these services shall be selected with care. 4.2 A testing …
ASTM C1074 – Standard Practice for Estimating Concrete Strength by the Maturity Method Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This practice can be used to estimate the in-place strength of concrete to allow the start of critical construction activities such as: (1) removal of formwork and reshoring; (2) post-tensioning of tendons; (3) termination of cold weather protection; …
ASTM C1070 – Standard Test Method for Determining Particle Size Distribution of Alumina or Quartz by Laser Light Scattering Description: Significance and Use 4.1 It is important to recognize that the results obtained by this method or any other method for particle size distribution utilizing different physical principles may disagree. The results are strongly influenced by …
ASTM C1069 – Standard Test Method for Specific Surface Area of Alumina or Quartz by Nitrogen Adsorption Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Both sellers and purchasers of alumina and quartz will find the test method useful to determine the specific surface area and indirectly as a measure of the particle size for material specifications, manufacturing control, …
