Summary of Test Method4.1 A sample of freshly mixed concrete is placed in a moldeither in the upright or inverted

10、position. The concrete is placedin one lift without tamping or vibration. The mold is raised, andthe concrete is allowed to spread. After spreading ceases, twodiameters of the concrete mass are measured in approximatelyorthogonal directions. Slump flow is the average of the twodiameters.5. Significa

11、nce and Use5.1 This test method provides a procedure to determine theslump flow of self-consolidating concrete in the laboratory orthe field.5.2 This test method is used to monitor the consistency offresh, unhardened self-consolidating concrete and its uncon-fined flow potential.5.3 It is difficult

12、to produce self-consolidating concrete thatis both flowable and nonsegregating using coarse aggregateslarger than 25 mm 1 in. Therefore, this test method isconsidered applicable to self-consolidating concrete havingcoarse aggregate up to 25 mm 1 in. in size. Appendix X1provides non-mandatory visual

Apparatus6.1 MoldThe mold used in this test method shall conformto that described in Test Method C143/C143M.6.2 Base PlateAnonabsorbent, smooth, rigid plate havinga minimum diameter of 915 mm 36 in. (See Note 1).NOTE 1Field experience and resul

18、ts from the round robin testprogram have shown that base plates made from sealed/laminatedplywood, acrylic plastic, or steel are suitable for performing this test.6.3 Strike-off BarAs described in Test Method C173/C173M.6.4 Measuring DeviceA ruler, metal roll-up measuringtape, or similar rigid or se

19、mi-rigid measuring instrumentmarked in increments of 5 mm 14 in. or less.7. Sample7.1 The sample of concrete from which test specimens aremade shall be representative of the entire batch. It shall beobtained in accordance with Practice C172.8. Procedure8.1 Perform the test on a flat, level, nonabsor

20、bent surfacesuch as a concrete floor or a base plate. Use the base plate inconditions where a flat, level surface is not available, such ason a construction site. When the base plate is used, position andshim the base plate so that it is fully supported, flat, and level.Pre-moisten the work surface

21、or base plate with a damp towel,rag, or sponge.8.1.1 When performing the slump flow test for a given studyor project, do not change the base plate surface type for theduration of the study or project.8.2 Filling the Mold: Fill the mold by following eitherProcedure A or Procedure B (See Note 2).8.2.1

22、 Filling Procedure A (Upright Mold): Dampen themold and place it on the work surface, or centered on the baseplate, with the larger opening facing down. Hold the moldfirmly in place during filling by standing on the two footpieces. Fill the mold in a continuous manner (See Note 3).Overfill the mold

23、slightly above its top.8.2.2 Filling Procedure B (Inverted Mold): Dampen themold and place it on the work surface, or centered on the baseplate, with the smaller opening facing down (See Note 4). Fillthe mold in a continuous manner (See Note 3). Overfill themold slightly above its top.NOTE 2During t

24、he development of this test method, it was found thatsome of the users preferred to perform the test with the large opening ofthe mold facing down as is performed in Test Method C143/C143M. Theprovision of a collar to the top of the mold is useful to reduce theprobability of concrete spilling over t

25、he mold and on to the base plate.Other users preferred to place the mold with the smaller opening facedown, which facilitates the ease of filling. Both filling procedures havebeen found to be suitable when performing this test. The precisionstatement in Section 10 reflects the use of both procedures

26、. Test data usingthe two filling procedures can be obtained in the round robin test reportavailable from ASTM headquarters.NOTE 3Filling the mold with concrete by using multiple scoops or bypouring from a bucket or similar container has been found to beacceptable.NOTE 4As a precaution, when filling

27、the mold in the inverted position,the mold may be supported to prevent accidental movement or tipping.Experienced users of this test method have found that it is not necessaryto support the mold.8.3 Strike off the surface of the concrete level with the topof the mold by a sawing motion of the strike

28、-off bar. Removeconcrete from the area surrounding the base of the mold topreclude interference with the movement of the flowingconcrete. Remove the mold from the concrete by raising itvertically. Raise the mold a distance of 225 6 75 mm 9 6 3in. in 3 6 1 s by a steady upward lift with no lateral or

29、torsional motion. Complete the entire test from the start offilling through removal of the mold without interruption withinan elapsed time of 212 min.8.4 Wait for the concrete to stop flowing and then measurethe largest diameter (d1) of the resulting circular spread ofconcrete. When a halo is observ

30、ed in the resulting circularspread of concrete, it shall be included as part of the diameterof the concrete. Measure a second diameter (d2) of the circularspread at an angle approximately perpendicular to the firstmeasured diameter (d1). Measure the diameters to the nearest 5mm 14 in. Determine the

31、Slump flow in accordance withSection 9.8.5 If the measurement of the two diameters differs by morethan 50 mm 2 in., the test is invalid and shall be repeated.9. Calculation9.1 Calculate the slump flow using Eq 1:Slump flow 5d11 d2!/2 (1)where:d1= the largest diameter of the circular spread of thecon

32、crete, andd2= the circular spread of the concrete at an angle approxi-mately perpendicular to d19.2 Record the average of the two diameters to the nearest10 mm 12 in.10. Report10.1 Report the filling procedure (A or B) used.10.2 Report the slump flow to the nearest 10 mm 12 in.11. Precision and Bias

33、411.1 The precision of this test method was determined basedon the results obtained from a round robin test programconducted by members of the ASTM C09.47 subcommittee onJanuary 9, 2003. The round robin test program consisted ofusing single and multiple operators performing 3 replicas of thetest usi

34、ng the mold in both the upright and inverted positions.The tests were performed using self-consolidating concretewith high and low levels of slump flow and on stable and4Supporting data have been filed at ASTM International Headquarters and maybe obtained by requesting Research Report RR:C09-1033.C1

Complete details of the round robin testprogram are available from ASTM headquarters in a reportentitled “Report on Development of a Precision Statement forthe Slump Flow Test Method for Self-Consolidating Concrete.”11.2 Single-Operator PrecisionThe single-operator pr

36、eci-sion statement reflects the use of both procedures A and B. Thesingle-operator standard deviation for slump flow has beenfound to be 27 mm 1.1 in. (See Note 5) for mixtures havingslump flow values between approximately 480 and 680 mm 19and 27 in. Therefore, results of two properly conducted test

37、sby the same operator on the same batch of concrete should notdiffer by more than 75 mm 3.0 in. (See Note 5).11.3 Multi-Operator PrecisionThe multi-operator preci-sion statement reflects the use of both procedures A and B. Themulti-operator standard deviation for slump flow has beenfound to be 27 mm

38、 1.1 in. (See Note 5) for mixtures withslump flow values between approximately 530 and 740 mm 21and 29 in. Therefore, the results of properly conducted testsby two operators on the same batch of concrete should notdiffer by more than 75 mm 3.0 in. (See Note 5).NOTE 5These numbers represent, respecti

39、vely, the (1s) and (d2s)limits as described in Practice C670.11.4 BiasThe procedure used in this test method has nobias since slump flow is defined only in terms of this testmethod.12.

40、NDIX(Nonmandatory Information)X1. RELATIVE MEASURE OF FLOW RATE, VISCOSITY, AND STABILITYX1.1 The flow rate of a self-consolidating concrete mixtureis influenced by its viscosity. Hence, for the purpose ofdeveloping a self-consolidating concrete mixture in the labo-ratory, a relative measure of visc

41、osity is useful. When perform-ing the slump flow test, the time it takes for the outer edge ofthe concrete mass, to reach a diameter of 500 mm 20 in. fromthe time the mold is first raised, provides a relative measure ofthe unconfined flow rate of the concrete mixture. For similarmaterials, this time

42、 period, termed T50, gives an indication ofthe relative viscosity of the self-consolidating concrete mix-ture.NOTE X1.1The T50value can provide information on the flowproperties of the self-consolidating concrete mixture, whereby longervalues normally correspond to increased viscosity. Special high-

43、rangewater-reducing admixtures are typically used to modify the flow proper-ties of the self-consolidating concrete mixture. In addition, viscosity-modifying admixtures and other changes in mixture proportions andmaterials can also influence flow properties and resistance to segregation.X1.2 The sta

44、bility of self-consolidating concrete can beobserved visually by examining the concrete mass and there-fore can be used for quality control of self-consolidatingconcrete mixtures. Table X1.1 contains Visual Stability Index(VSI) values with corresponding criteria to qualitatively assessthe stability

45、of self-consolidating concrete. However, thesevalues do not quantify a concrete property.X1.3 Apparatus:X1.3.1 Inscribed base plate - a base plate as described in6.2, with a circular mark centrally located for the placement ofmold, and a further concentric circle at 500 mm 20 in.NOTE X1.2The central

46、ly located circular mark made at the 500 mm20 in. location on the base plate will assist the user in determining theT50value.X1.3.2 Stop watch least reading of not more than 0.01 s.X1.4 Procedure:X1.4.1 To determine T50, use a stopwatch to measure thetime in seconds it takes any part of the outer ed

48、e mortar fraction particularly along the perimeter, and thebleeding characteristics. Assign a Visual Stability Index (VSI)value to the concrete spread using the criteria shown in TableX1.1 and illustrated in Figs.
