13、ontrolled low-strength material (CLSM) is a cementitiousmaterial that is in a flowable state at the time of placement,and that has a specified compressive strength of 1200 psi(8.3 MPa) or less at the age of 28 days. This material isdiscussed further in ACI 229R. Low-density CLSM (LD-CLSM) meets this

14、 definition, and has a cast density that iscontrollable from 20 to 50 lb/ft3(320 to 800 kg/m3). Thequantity of preformed foam in the mixture determines themixtures final density.CHAPTER 2MATERIALSThe basic materials in low-density cellular concrete arecement, water, and preformed foam. Because the m

15、ainingredient by volume of a low-density cellular concretemixture is preformed foam, it is critical that all admixtures becompatible with the preformed foam within the specificmixture. Trial mixture tests are needed to determinecompatibility and the resulting physical properties. Low-density cellula

Blended cements include cementcontaining combinations of portland cement, pozzolans, slag,oth

18、o, fly ash and chemical admixtures.This guide provides data and techniques pertaining to theproperties and applications of cast-in-place low-densitycellular concrete. Common applications of cast-in-placelow-density cellular concrete are on roof decks andgeotechnical applications. On roof decks, the

Wilson (1981) provides additional information onthe use of lightweight aggregates used in cellular concrete.Any proposed aggregates should be tested for physicalproperties, pumpability, and compatibility in tri

24、al mixtures.2.5Admixtures2.5.1 Chemical admixturesChemical admixtures, suchas water-reducing admixtures and set accelerators, are usedwith cellular concretes. Water-reducing admixtures can improvecompressive strength for special mixtures or applications.Hot water, high-early-strength (Type III or HE

25、) cement, andchemical accelerators can be used singly or in combinationand be used at dosages recommended by the manufacturer ordetermined by trial mixtures.Not all chemical admixtures are compatible for use infoamed cellular concrete. Individual manufacturers of foamconcentrate should be contacted

26、for information about thecompatibility of specific admixtures with their foamconcentrates, and trial batches should be used to determinethe resulting mixture characteristics.2.5.2 Supplementary cementitious materialsIn theproduction of cellular concrete, supplementary cementitiousmaterials such as f

27、ly ash, silica fume, high reactivitymetakaolin, or ground-granulated blast-furnace slag (slagcement) are included to reduce bleeding and segregation andto increase strength. Trial batches should be used to confirmthe compatibility of the selected foam concentrate with otheradmixtures, and to help de

28、termine the proper admixturedosages and resulting physical properties. Various mineraladmixtures may differ considerably in composition, fineness,concrete. This specification provides the means for evaluatingthe performance of a specific foaming agent. Furtherinformation concerning these formulation

31、ids, alkalis, salts, organicmaterials, or other substances deleterious to concrete orreinforcement. Any nonpotable water should be tested forhardness, pH, suspended solids, total salt content, andother characteristics that might affect the preformedfoam, the setting time, and the strength of the low

32、-densitycellular concrete.2.3Preformed foamPreformed foam is created by diluting a liquid foamconcentrate with water in predetermined proportions (Fig. 2.1)and passing this mixture through a foam generator. Meter thepreformed foam directly into the cement-water slurry at the jobsite (Fig. 2.2). The

33、density of the preformed foam is typicallybetween 2.5 and 4.0 lb/ft3 (40 and 65 kg/m3).The foam concentrate should have a chemical compositioncapable of producing and maintaining stable air cells withinthe concrete mixture. The air cells should be able to resist thephysical and chemical forces impos

34、ed during mixing,pumping, placing, and setting of the cellular concrete. If thecellular (air-cell) structure is not stable, it may break downunder these forces, resulting in an increased concretedensity. Most common proprietary formulations of foamconcentrates contain protein hydrozylates or synthet

35、icsurfactants. ASTM C 796 provides a standard method forlaboratory measurement of the performance of a foamingchemical to be used in producing foam (air cells) for makingcellular concrete. ASTM C 869 is a standard specificationthat covers foaming agents specifically formulated formaking preformed fo

37、ture. The first of theseproperties (LOI) is addressed in ASTM C 618. A fly ash witha high LOI (carbon content) may adversely affect thepreformed foam by causing an increase in density and loss ofyield. If cementing activity is low, the concrete may set tooslowly, resulting in a lower strength and a

38、higher density. Highwater demand may require that the water-cementitious materialratio (w/cm) be adjusted to achieve the desired strength.2.6Nonstandard materialsSpecial cements, supplementary cementitious materials,and aggregates may be included as nonstandard materials.Some mine-fill applications

39、may use local materials asaggregates or fillers in low-density cellular concrete to extendthe mixture when transportation of materials to remote areas isdifficult. The user should pretest nonstandard mixtures forproper development of the desired fill properties.2.7Fiber reinforcementLow-density cell

Fibers can also help control plasticshrinkage cracking (Fig. 2.4).CHAPTER 3PHYSICAL PROPERTIES3.1As-cast densityThe as-cast density at the point of placement should bedetermined by calculating the density of samples using acontainer of known volume and empty w

43、eight, as prescribedin applicable sections of ASTM C 796 (Fig. 3.1). Monitoringthe as-cast density of the cellular concrete is an importantjob-site quality-assurance tool for controlling the uniformityand density of the mixture at the point of placement. Proceduresfor sampling and testing hardened i

44、nsulating cellularconcrete are given in ASTM C 513.3.2Oven-dry densityOven-dry density, evaluated using ASTM C 796 and C 495,determines the unit weight used to define low-densitycellular concrete, which by definition has a maximum oven-dry density of 50 lb/ft3(800 kg/m3).3.3Compressive strengthThe r

45、elationship between compressive strength and as-castdensity is an important indicator of the quality of cellularconcrete (Kearsley and Wainwright 2002b). The compressivestrength of cellular concrete should be evaluated in accordancewith ASTM C 796 and C 495. Compressive strength specimensshould not

46、be oven-dried. When it is necessary to determineoven-dry density, it is necessary to make companion specimensfor this test in addition to those specimens for compressivestrength testing. The user should relate compressive strengthto the oven-dry density of cellular concrete as indicated inTable 3.1.

47、 Table 3.1 is a guideline only, based on Type Icement, no cement substitution, and using local materials.The user should test specific local materials to determinethese properties.For geotechnical applications, the cast density of thematerial is usually the most significant property and is moreFig.

49、 geotechnical applications.The reason for this is that when cellular concrete is used toinsulate roof decks, it is not considered to contribute structur-ally; and when it is used in geotechnical applications, anyshrinkage cracking that it might undergo does not significantlyreduce bearing capacity. Drying shrinkage is typically0.30 to 0.60% after 6 months at 50% relative humidity and73 F (23 C), and increases with decreasing density. SomeCAST-IN-PLACE LOW-DENSITY CELLULAR CONCRETEstrength).
