Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONMasonry units of autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) can be produced with dimensional tolerancesas small as 0.06
3、in. (1.5 mm). As a consequence, AAC masonry units can be laid with mortar jointsapproximately 0.38 in. (10 mm) thick, and also with thinner joints. The exterior face of the resultingAAC masonry wall is then protected from the elements using an exterior wythe of masonry, a claddingsystem, or a breath
4、able coating resistant to penetration by liquid water. The interior face can beplastered, furred, or painted.1. Scope*1.1 This practice applies to construction and testing of masonry made of AAC units. It includes or references terminology,material specifications, and methods of test. It references

16、nd methods used in the construction ofAAC masonry. It directly references theAACmaterials standards under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee C27 and the workmanship requirements of TMS 602-08 / ACI530.1-08 / ASCE 6-08 602 and supplements those workmanship requirements with additional requirements pa
17、rticular to AACmasonry.5. Materials5.1 AAC masonry units shall conform to Specification C1691.5.2 Mortar for thick-bed AAC masonry shall meet the performance standards prescribed by the AAC manufacturer.5.3 Mortar for thin-bed AAC masonry shall comply with Specification C1660.NOTE 1In general, AAC m
18、anufacturers performance standards for mortar for AAC masonry address minimum dry compressive strength, minimumwet compressive strength, minimum bond strength, minimum open time, and minimum working time. They also require that the mortar provide sufficientbond to the AAC masonry unit so that flexur
19、al tensile strength is controlled by the flexural tensile strength of the units rather than by the bond betweenunits and mortar.5.4 Grout shall conform to Specification C476.6. Methods of Test6.1 Compressive Strength Test for AAC MasonryReport the compressive strength of the AAC masonry as the stren
20、gth of theAAC material determined in accordance with Specification C1693.NOTE 2Bond-strength requirements for AAC masonry mortar (Note 1) result in AAC masonry assemblages that behave monolithically. Thecompressive strength of anAAC prism depends on the prisms aspect ratio only, and not on the prese
21、nce, number, or orientation of joints.Any reasonableaspect ratio can be used to verify compressive strength, provided that the same aspect ratio is used to calibrate design equations. Design equations forAAC masonry are calibrated using compressive strengths determined in accordance with Specificati
22、on C1693. It is therefore appropriate to report thosesame strengths, which Specification C1693 requires AAC manufacturers to determine and report.NOTE 3The tests noted in subsections 6.2 through 6.4 are not required by TMS 40208 / ACI 53009 / ASCE 508 or TMS 602-08 / ACI 530.1-08/ ASCE 6-08. 402 or
23、TMS 602. They may be required for research purposes or other reasons.6.2 Flexural Strength Test for AAC Masonry AssemblagesIf required, conduct flexural strength tests in accordance with TestMethods C1717, E518E518/E518M, or C1072.6.2.1 If conducting flexural strength tests in accordance with Test M
24、ethods E518E518/E518M, construct at least five testspecimens as stack-bonded prisms at least 32 in. (0.81 m) high. Use mortar meeting the performance requirements of the AACmanufacturer. Conduct the flexural strength test in accordance with Test Methods E518E518/E518M, Test Method A (SimplySupported
25、 Beam with Third-point Loading).6.2.2 If conducting flexural strength tests in accordance with Test Method C1072, construct test specimens as stack-bondedprisms comprising at least three bed joints. Test a total of at least five joints. Use mortar complying with 5.2 or 5.3 as appropriate.6.3 Shear S

Cure the gypsum capping material for at least six hours prior to testing. Use mortarcomplying with 5.2 or 5.3 as appropriate.6.4 Modulus of Elasticity of AAC Un

31、Workmanship shall be in accordance with TMS 602-08 / ACI 530.1-08 / ASCE 6-08 602 (Part 3Execution), and with theadditional requirements of this practice.8.2 Install the first course in a full bed of mortar conforming to Specification C270, Type M, S or N.8.3 Use thin-bed mortar complying with 5.3.8
32、.4 Mix thin-bed mortar as prescribed by the AAC manufacturer.8.5 Lay subsequent courses using thin-bed mortar. Use the special notched trowel available from the AAC manufacturer tospread the thin-bed mortar so that it completely fills the bed joints. Similarly fill the head joints, unless the units
33、are designed tobe connected across the head joints by tongue-and-groove or other mechanical means rather than by thin-bed mortar. Spread mortarand place the next unit before the mortar dries. Set the units into final position, in mortar joints approximately 0.06-in. (1.5-mm)thick, by striking on the
34、 end and top of the unit with a rubber mallet.8.6 Lay units in alignment with either the inside or the outside plane of the wall.Align vertically and plumb using only the firstcourse for reference. Make minor adjustments by sanding the surfaces of the units with a sanding board.8.7 If it is necessar
35、y to field-cut units, cut them to tolerances consistent with 5.1.8.8 IfAAC masonry is to be grouted, wet it thoroughly before grouting, to ensure that the grout flows to completely fill the spaceto be grouted.9. Exterior Surface Treatment9.1 AAC masonry exposed to weather shall be protected with an
36、exterior wythe of masonry, a cladding system, or a coatingcomplying with the requirements of 9.2 and 9.3.9.2 Vapor PermeabilityThe PERM rating of the coating, determined in accordance with Test Methods E96/E96M, shall notbe less than 5.9.3 Liquid PermeabilityThe coating shall show no leakage when te
37、sted using the following procedure:9.3.1 As shown in Fig. 1, prepare an AAC masonry assemblage with plan dimensions of 12 by 12 in. (0.3 by 0.3 m) and athickness of 1 in. (25 mm). Make the assemblage using two pieces ofAAC material with a vertically oriented joint between them.Join the two pieces at
38、 the joint using thin-bed or thick-bed mortar as appropriate to the AAC masonry being tested. Cover the topsurface with the coating to be tested. Affix to the top surface of the specimen, over the joint, a clear glass or plastic measurementtube with an inside diameter between 2 and 4 in. (50 and 100
39、 mm), and a height of at least 24 in. (0.6 m). Prepare a reference tube,closed at the bottom, of the same material and dimensions as the measurement tube. Fill the measurement tube and the referenceFIG. 1 Masonry Assemblage for Testing Liquid Permeability of Exterior Surface Treatment for AAC Masonr
40、yC1692 183tube with water to a height of 21.6 in. (0.55 m), within a tolerance of 61 in. (25 mm). Note the original height of water, and theheight after 5 h, in the measurement tube and in the reference tube. Record the difference between the initial height and the finalheight of water in the measur
41、ement tube, and in the reference tube. If those differences differ by less than 1 mm, the coating shallbe considered to have shown no leakage.NOTE 4The above test method is intended to verify the water-penetration resistance of the coating only, when applied to an AAC masonry substrate.To examine th
42、e water-penetration resistance of an AAC masonry system, tests such as Test Method E514E514/E514M are appropriate.10.
