Significance and Use4.1 This test method provides a means for evaluating theability of pozzolans and ground granulated blast-furnace slagto control deleterious internal expansion due to alkali-silicareaction when used with an aggregate intended for use
16、inconcrete. It is based on the Accelerated Test Method developedat the National Building Research Institute (NBRI) in theRepublic of South Africa (1-4).34.2 This test method has been developed for evaluatingcombinations of certain cementitious materials with a singleaggregate source in a mortar of s
17、tandard proportions. It yieldsan empirical result, which is utilized to compare to criteriawithin some specifications to accept or reject the combinationof materials being evaluated for a particular application.Currently this method has no standard procedure for testingfine and coarse aggregates pro
18、posed for use in concretetogether in a single batch of mortar, nor for varying theproportions of the constituent materials of the mortar beyondthe relative proportions of the individual cementitious materialconstituents to each other, as the significance of these practiceshave not been determined no
19、r have appropriate limits beenestablished for evaluating the results of tests conducted usingthese modifications.4.3 Results obtained using this test method may overesti-mate the reactivity of some types of aggregates if used inservice with the same pozzolans or slag and hydraulic cementof low alkal
20、i content.4.4 Different levels of pozzolan and ground granulatedblast-furnace slag may require testing to determine the amountrequired to reduce expansion to an acceptable level. Pozzolansand ground granulated blast-furnace slag may be tested sepa-rately or in combination.4.5 It is recommended to te
21、st the same aggregate andhydraulic cement (without pozzolans and slag) using TestMethod C1260.4.6 This test method may underestimate the expansion ofcementitious systems containing pozzolans with an alkalicontent 4.0 % sodium oxide equivalent (7-9). It is recom-mended that such materials be tested u

Sampling and Preparation of Test Specimens8.1 Selection of AggregateProcess materials proposed foruse as fine aggregate in concrete
34、 as described in 8.2 with aminimum of crushing. Process materials proposed for use ascoarse aggregate in concrete by crushing to produce as nearlyas practical a graded product from which a sample can beobtained. Grade the sample as prescribed in Table 1. Thesample shall represent the composition of
35、the coarse aggregateas proposed for use.8.1.1 When a given quarried material is proposed for useboth as coarse and as fine aggregate, test only a selection of thefine aggregate, unless there is reason to expect that the coarseaggregate has a different composition than the fine aggregate.If such a di
36、fference is expected and if the differences mightsignificantly affect expansion due to reaction with the alkaliesin cement or from the environment of service, test the coarseaggregate in a manner similar to that employed in testing thefine aggregate.8.2 Preparation of AggregateGrade aggregates to pr

In the case of aggregates containing insufficientamounts of one or more of the larger sizes listed in Ta
38、ble 1, andif no larger material is available for crushing, the first size inwhich sufficient material is available shall contain the cumu-lative percentage of material down to that size as determinedfrom the grading specified in Table 1. When such proceduresare required, make a special note thereof
39、in the test report.After the aggregate has been separated into the various sievesizes, wash each size with a water spray over the sieve toremove adhering dust and fine particles from the aggregate.Dry the portions retained on the various sieves and, unless usedimmediately, store each such portion in
