Significance and Use5.1 Drying behavior is related to the mass transport proper-ties of concrete, such as liquid permeability and water diffu-sivity. It depends on a number of factors such as concretemixture proportions, presence

10、of admixtures and supplemen-tary cementitious materials, composition and physical charac-teristics of the aggregates and cementitious materials, curingconditions, degree of hydration, and presence of microcrack-ing. Drying behavior is also affected strongly by the degree ofsaturation and temperature

11、 of the concrete at the start of dryingas well as the environmental conditions that exist during dryingsuch as temperature, relative humidity, and air flow rate (windspeed).5.2 This test method subjects initially saturated specimensof concrete to one-dimensional drying under controlled envi-ronmenta

For example, forinterior commercial flooring applications, a mass loss thatoccurs quickly may be preferable, while for outdoor exposuresin an aggressive environment, slower mass loss may bebeneficial.6. Apparatus6.1 Drying

18、Chamber, a temperature- and humidity-controlled chamber or room with temperature maintainedconstant at 23C 6 2C and relative humidity at 50 % 6 4%,such as the drying room specified in Test Method C157/C157M. The chamber shall have proper specimen supports toallow airflow around each concrete specime

19、n (see Note 1). Thechamber shall be of sufficient volume to hold at least three testspecimens (see Note 2). The air movement around the speci-mens within the chamber shall result in an evaporation rate asrequired for the drying room described in Test Method C157/C157M.NOTE 1Rack shelving composed of

20、 metal, plastic, or compositematerials will provide a convenient pathway for air circulation aroundeach supported specimen.NOTE 2A walk-in chamber is preferable, so that the balance can beinstalled and maintained at constant conditions.6.2 Temperature and Relative Humidity MeasuringEquipment, of the

21、 digital type to be placed next to thespecimens in the drying chamber and capable of measuringrelative humidity with an accuracy of 63 % at a relativehumidity of 50 % and temperature with an accuracy of 60.5 Cat a temperature of 23C. At least two separate measurementsof both temperature and relative

22、 humidity are required for eachdrying chamber. Measurements shall be obtained at intervals of15 min or less.NOTE 3The accuracy of the relative humidity measured by theequipment can be verified by measurement of relative humidity overaqueous solutions of various salts, as outlined in Practice E104.6.

23、3 Absorbent Towels, wetted thoroughly and wrung out, forblotting free water from specimen surfaces.6.4 Balance, complying with Specification C1005 with acapacity of at least 1500 g, but with an index scale readable toat least 0.01 g.6.5 Water-Cooled Saw, with diamond impregnated blade ofadequate dim

24、ensions to cut test specimens from larger samples.6.6 Caliper, to measure the specimen dimensions to thenearest 0.1 mm.6.7 Compressed Air, source of compressed air at sufficientpressure to dry surfaces of specimens.7. Materials7.1 Sealing Material, strips of low permeability adhesivesheets, epoxy co

25、ating, or (paraffin) wax for sealing the sidesurfaces of test specimens. The hardening time of the sealingmaterial shall not exceed 30 minutes. The adequacy of thesealing material is to be verified with respect to both drying andlimewater immersion.Adequacy with respect to drying is to beverified by

26、 sealing a saturated specimen on all sides and storingit in the drying chamber for 3 days. The sealing material isadequate if the measured mass loss is less than 0.1 % of theoriginal mass of the sealed specimen. The sealing material alsomust not gain mass or deteriorate when placed in a limewatersol

27、ution. Adequacy with respect to limewater immersion is tobe verified by sealing a saturated specimen on all sides andimmersing it in limewater for 7 days. Visually examine thesealing material after immersion to detect any reaction with thelimewater. The sealing material is adequate if the measuredma

28、ss gain is less than 0.1 % of the original mass of the sealedspecimen.8. Sampling, Test Specimens, and Test Units8.1 Three cylindrical sawcut specimens are to be preparedfor each concrete mixture to be evaluated. Unless requiredotherwise by the specifier of the tests, specimen dimensionsafter cuttin

29、g shall be a diameter of 100 mm 6 5 mm and alength of 50 mm 6 2 mm. Specimens are cut to length, usinga water-cooled saw (see 6.5), from either cylinders moldedaccording to Practices C31/C31M or C192/C192M or coresdrilled according to Test Method C42/C42M. The averagediameters (see 9.3) of the end f

30、aces of a specimen shall notdiffer by more than 1 mm.NOTE 4While other specimen sizes may be employed, the minimumspecimen dimension should exceed the nominal maximum aggregate sizeby a factor of two or more. Because the drying is one-dimensional throughthe exposed cylinder faces, a nominal diameter

31、-length ratio of 2.0 does nothave to be used if alternative specimen sizes are specified.8.2 This test method may be applied to either specimenscontaining a cast or a finished wearing surface or those inwhich the cast or finished surface layer(s) of the concrete havebeen removed by sawing. In the la

32、tter case, the distancesbetween the original exposed surface of the concrete and theend faces of replicate test specimens shall be within 5 mm ofeach other.NOTE 5An exterior surface of a concrete specimen seldom has thesame porosity as the interior concrete. To reduce data scatter, measure-ments are

33、 made with the drying surfaces of replicate test specimens at thesame distance from the original exposed surface of the concrete.9. Sample Conditioning9.1 Specimens are to be in a saturated condition at the startof the test. Cure molded concrete cylinders for at least 28 daysin water storage tanks c

Measureeach diameter to the nearest 0.1 mm and calculate the averagediameter for the eight readings to the nearest 0.1 mm.9.4 Use the caliper to ma

37、ke four measurements of specimenlength approximately 90 apart. Measure each length to thenearest 0.1 mm and calculate the average length to the nearest0.1 mm.9.5 Dry the specimen side surface along its length withcompressed air until the surface is visibly dry. Seal the sidesurface of each specimen

38、with an impermeable material, asdescribed in 7.1, leaving the two end faces uncoated to act asdrying surfaces (Note 6).NOTE 6It is best practice to minimize the drying of the end facesduring the sealing operation. Moistened paper towels or sponges can beused to maintain the two end faces in a moiste

39、ned condition during thesealing process.9.6 After the sealing is completed and the coating has curedif applicable, measure and record the mass of each specimen tothe nearest 0.1 g.9.7 Immerse the sealed specimens for 7 days in watersaturated with calcium hydroxide. After 7 days of immersion,determin

40、e each specimen mass after removing surface water byblotting with an absorbent towel that has first been wettedthoroughly and wrung out (see 6.3). If the mass has changed bymore than 0.5 % from the mass determined in 9.6, repeat theimmersion for another 7 days. Continue this cyclic procedureof immer

41、sion and weighing until the mass variation is less than0.5 % between successive mass readings taken 7 days apart.10. Procedure10.1 Once the specimens have satisfied the immersion massgain criteria in 9.7, remove the saturated specimens from thelimewater one at a time and complete the initial mass me

42、a-surements on the removed specimen before proceeding to thenext one. For each removed specimen, to remove excesssurface water, blot all surfaces with absorbent towels that havefirst been wetted thoroughly and wrung out (see 6.3). Recordthe date and time of the beginning of the drying exposure forea

Maintain a minimum distance of 25 mm between thedrying surfaces of neighboring specimens.10.3 In the drying

44、 chamber, place each specimen on appro-priate supports so that air can move freely across both exposedsurfaces. Record temperature and relative humidity in at leasttwo different locations within 150 mm of the specimens.10.4 Record the mass change of the specimens by periodi-cally determining their m
