For the purpose of this specification, ready-mixed concrete is hydraulic cement concrete manufactured for delivery to a purchaser in a plastic state and delivered as hereinafter specifi

14、ed. 3.2. The volume of freshly mixed and unhardened concrete in a given batch shall be determined from the total mass of the batch divided by the actual mass per cubic foot of the concrete. The total mass of the batch shall be calculated either as the sum of the masses of all materials, including wa

15、ter, entering the batch or as the net mass of the concrete in the batch as delivered. The mass per cubic foot shall be determined in accordance with T 121M/T 121 from the average of at least three measurements, each on a different sample using a 14-L (1/2-ft3) container. Each sample shall be taken f

16、rom the midpoint of each of three different truck loads by the procedure outlined in R 60. Note 1It should be understood that the volume of hardened concrete may be, or appear to be, less than expected due to waste and spillage, overexcavation, spreading forms, some loss of entrained air, or settlem

Duplication is a violation of applicable law.TS-3b M 157-4 AASHTO desired to use admixtures for purposes other than entrainment of air, the admixture shall conform to the requirements of M 194M/M 194. 5. QUALITY OF CONCRETE 5.1. The mix design may be spe

30、cified by the engineer or submitted to the engineer by the contractor for approval, or a performance based specification can be used. When specified by the engineer, it shall include the following: 5.1.1. Each cementitious materials content in kg/m3(lb/yd3) of concrete, or equivalent units; 5.1.2. D

31、esignated size, or sizes, and amount by mass of aggregates; 5.1.3. Maximum water to cementitious materials ratio where water includes surface moisture and water in the admixture but excludes the absorption water of the aggregates; 5.1.4. Consistency desired at the point of delivery (see Section 6.1.

32、1 for acceptable tolerances); 5.1.5. The range of air content of the concrete when air-entraining cement or an air-entraining admixture is specified. The air content shall be determined on samples taken at the point of placement; and 5.1.6. The type and amounts of admixture other than air-entraining

33、 agents when such admixtures are specified. 5.2. When submitted by the contractor for approval by the engineer, the mix design shall be within the limitation specified for: 5.2.1. Minimum cement content, 5.2.2. Maximum amount of water, 5.2.3. Range for air content, 5.2.4. Range for consistency, and

34、5.2.5. Maximum aggregate size. 5.3. When a performance-based specification is used, the engineer shall specify the desired fresh and hardened concrete properties and permit the contractor to design the mixture. The specifying agency may specify the design method to be used by the contractor. The con

35、tractor will demonstrate through trial mixtures that the mix designs will provide the specified fresh and hardened properties. Selection of slump for placement shall be the responsibility of the contractor. The contractor shall make trial placements to demonstrate that concrete can be placed without

36、 any segregation and without any difficulty in consolidating and finishing. 6. TOLERANCES IN SLUMP 6.1. Unless other tolerances are included in the project specifications, the following shall apply: 6.1.1. When the project specifications for slump are written as a “maximum” or “not to exceed” requir

37、ement, see Table 3. This option is to be used only if one addition of water is permitted on the 2016 by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials.All rights reserved. Duplication is a violation of applicable law.TS-3b M 157-5 AASHTO job provided such addition does not in

38、crease the water-cement ratio above the maximum permitted by the specifications. Table 3Specified Slump If 76 mm (3 in.) or Less If More Than 76 mm (3 in.) Plus tolerance 0 0 Minus tolerance 38 mm (11/2in.) 63 mm (21/2in.) 6.1.2. When the project specifications for slump are not written as a “maximu

39、m” or “not to exceed” requirement, see Table 4. Table 4Tolerances for Nominal Slumps For Specified Slump of Tolerance 51 mm (2 in.) and less 13 mm (1/2in.) More than 51 to 102 mm (2 through 4 in.) 25 mm (1 in.) More than 102 mm (4 in.) 38 mm (11/2in.) 7. AIR-ENTRAINED CONCRETE 7.1. The purchaser sha

40、ll specify or approve the design total air content of the concrete. 7.2. The air content of air-entrained concrete, when sampled from the transportation unit at the point of placement, shall be within the purchaser specified tolerances. Where it is not practical to test at this point, comparison of

41、values measured at the point of placement and the nearest practical location shall be established. 8. MEASURING MATERIALS 8.1. Except as otherwise specifically permitted, cementitious material shall be measured by mass. When supplementary cementitious materials are specified in the mix design, they

42、may be weighed cumulatively with cement. Cement and other cementitious material shall be weighed on a scale and in a weigh hopper, which is separate and distinct from those used for other materials. Cement shall be weighed before other cementitious material. When the quantity of cementitious materia

43、l exceeds 30 percent of the full capacity of the scale, the quantity of cement, and the cumulative quantity of cement plus supplementary cementitious material, shall be within 1 percent of the required mass. For small batches to a minimum of 1 m3(1 yd3), the quantity of cement, and the quantity of c

44、ement plus supplementary cementitious material used, shall not be less than the required amount nor more than 4 percent in excess. Under special circumstances, approved by the purchaser, cement may be measured in bags of standard mass (Note 2). No fraction of a bag of cement shall be used unless wei

45、ghed. Note 2In the United States, the standard mass of a bag of portland cement is 42.6 kg (94 lb) 3 percent. 8.2. Aggregate shall be measured by mass. Batch mass shall be based on dry materials and shall be required mass of dry materials plus the total mass of moisture (both absorbed and surface) c

46、ontained in the aggregate. The quantity of aggregate used in any batch of concrete as indicated by the scale shall be within 2 percent of the required mass when weighed in individual weigh batchers. In a cumulative aggregate weigh batcher, the cumulative mass after each successive weighing shall be

47、within 1 percent of the required cumulative amount when the scale is used in 2016 by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials.All rights reserved. Duplication is a violation of applicable law.TS-3b M 157-6 AASHTO excess of 30 percent of its capacity. For cumulative mass

48、 for less than 30 percent of scale capacity, the tolerance shall be 0.3 percent of scale capacity or 3 percent of the required cumulative mass, whichever is less. 8.3. Mixing water shall consist of water added to the batch, ice added to the batch, water occurring as surface moisture on the aggregate

49、s, and water introduced in the form of admixtures. The added water shall be measured by mass or volume to an accuracy of 1 percent of the required total mixing water. Added ice shall be measured by weight. In the case of truck mixers, any wash water retained in the drum for use in the next batch of concrete shall be accurately measured; if this proves impractical or impossible, the wash water shall be discharged prior to loading the next batch of concrete. Total water (includ
