ASTM C900 – Standard Test Method for Pullout Strength of Hardened Concrete Description: Significance and Use 5.1 For a given test apparatus, pullout strengths can be related to compressive strength test results. Such strength relationships are affected by the configuration of the embedded insert, bearing ring dimensions, depth of embedment, and the type of aggregate (lightweight …
ASTM C90 – Standard Specification for Loadbearing Concrete Masonry Units Description: Abstract This specification covers hollow and solid concrete masonry units made from hydraulic cement, water, and mineral aggregates with or without the inclusion of other materials. There are three classes of concrete masonry units: normal weight, medium weight, and lightweight. These units are suitable …
ASTM C892 – Standard Specification for High-Temperature Fiber Blanket Thermal Insulation Description: Abstract This specification covers the standard for high-temperature fiber blanket thermal insulation for use at various temperatures. The insulation should be tested and comply accordingly to physical and mechanical properties of the insulation such as apparent thermal conductivity, density, and temperature of use. …
ASTM C886 – Standard Test Method for Scleroscope Hardness Testing of Carbon and Graphite Materials Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The scleroscope is a rebound hardness tester with a scale divided into 140 equal parts. For carbon and graphite materials, there is no established correlation between the Scleroscope hardness scale and other hardness scales. The test …
ASTM C884 – Standard Test Method for Thermal Compatibility Between Concrete and an Epoxy-Resin Overlay Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method applies to materials used in making epoxy-mortar overlays for concrete pavement. If debonding occurs between the overlay and the pavement, the material is unsuitable. 5.2 This test method evaluates the ability of an overlay …
ASTM C883 – Standard Test Method for Effective Shrinkage of Epoxy-Resin Systems Used With Concrete (Withdrawn 1996)
ASTM C882 – Standard Test Method for Bond Strength of Bonding Systems Used With Concrete By Slant Shear Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The strength developed by a bonding system that joins two regions of concrete is its most important property. Abstract This test method covers the determination of the bond strength of epoxy-resin-base bonding systems …
ASTM C881 – Standard Specification for Epoxy-Resin-Base Bonding Systems for Concrete Description: Abstract This specification covers two-component, epoxy-resin bonding systems for application to Portland-cement concrete, which are able to cure under humid conditions and bond to damp surfaces. The epoxy-resin bonding systems are classified according to type, grade, class, and color. The bonding systems can …
ASTM C88 – Standard Test Method for Soundness of Aggregates by Use of Sodium Sulfate or Magnesium Sulfate Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method provides a procedure for making a preliminary estimate of the soundness of aggregates for use in concrete and other purposes. The values obtained may be compared with specifications, for example …
ASTM C878 – Standard Test Method for Restrained Expansion of Shrinkage-Compensating Concrete Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Since the potential for expansion, under conditions of controlled restraint, of concrete made with shrinkage-compensating cement cannot always be satisfactorily predicted from tests of mortars made in accordance with Test Method C806, a need has been recognized for a test …
