Summary of Test Method4.1 A specimen of freshly mixed paste or mortar is preparedusing a corrugated mold that offers litt

The mold is sealed to prevent moistureloss and the specimen is stored at constant temperature.Starting at the time of final setting, the length of the specimenis measured using a dilatometer. The change in length isrecorded at regular time intervals unt

Significance and Use5.1 Autogenous strain is the self-created bulk strain ofcement paste, mortar, or concrete during hardening at constanttemperature. In conventional concrete,

Both methods may showevidence of significant artifacts (1); therefore, results of thetwo methods may disagree considerably if not carried outproperly.5.3 A sealed, flexible cor

Moreover, resultsobtained with the corrugated mold

The corru-gated mold system is easier to use and shows better repeatabil-ity than the volumetric tec

Measurements with thecorrugated mold system are in good agreement with unre-strained length change measurements obtained using TestMethod C157/C157M with sealed specimens (5); however,Test Method C157/C157M does not allow measurement of theshrinkage occurring before 24 h (5).5.4 This t

Apparatus6.1 The apparatus to measure autogenous strain is com-posed of a corrugated mold with two end plugs, a dilatometerbench, a length

24、 measuring gauge, and a reference bar (see Fig.1).6.2 MoldsThe molds consist of corrugated plastic tubes,having a length of 420 6 5 mm and an outer diameter of 29 60.5 mm (see Note 2). The plastic tubes are made of 0.5 60.2-mm thick low-density polyethylene (PE) and havetriangular-shaped corrugation

25、s in order to minimize restraint inthe longitudinal direction (see Fig. 2). The distance betweencorrugations is 5.8 6 0.2 mm. The mold is tightly closed withtwo tapered end plugs having a length of 19 6 0.5 mm. Thediameter of the plastic end plugs tapers from 21 6 0.1 mm to22.4 6 0.1 mm (see Fig. 3)

26、.NOTE 2The small diameter of the molds limits the temperaturedifferences that may arise during hydration of the cementitious materials.Typical maximum temperature increase in the center of the test specimen,due to heat of hydration of cement paste or mortar has been determined tobe 2 C. The maximum

27、longitudinal restraint stress exerted by the moldshas been determined to be 0.001 MPa (6).6.3 Dilatometer BenchThe dilatometer bench consists ofthree stainless steel rods with a diameter of 20 6 1.0 mm andtwo stainless steel end plates. Technical drawings of a suitabledilatometer bench are shown in

During measurement,the test specimen is positioned horizontally and is supportedlongitudinally by the two upper rods.6.4 Length Measuring GaugeA gauge measures lengthchanges at one end of the specimen. The measuring range ofthe gauge shall be at least 10 mm and the resolution shall be atleas

Place a pluginto one end of the mold, and position the mold, with the closedend down, inside the support tube. If the cementitious mixtureis pourable, slowly pour the mixture into the corru

For a semi-fluidmixture, fill the mold in four equal layers and compact eachlayer 5 times with the tamping rod before each subsequentlayer is cast. The rod shall just penetrate the underlying layer.For a stiff mixture, hand prepare rolled se

To ensure that the cast specimens haveapproximately the same length, do not stretch or compress thecorrugated mold during filling. For fluid mixtures, the corru-gated mold shall be held only by the suppo

Support specimens along theirentire length to avoid damage and to ensure they remainstraight (see Note 5).

47、 Maintain a separation of at least 30 mmbetween specimens during the first day of measurement toallow dispersion of their heats of hydration.NOTE 5Corrugated plastic sheets as shown in Fig. 8 or other suitablematerials can be used to support the molded specimens.7.5 Time of First MeasurementStart le
