1、Designation: C331/C331M 10Standard Specification forLightweight Aggregates for Concrete Masonry Units1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C331/C331M; the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last

2、revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1.

3、regates in-tended for use in concrete masonry units when a primeconsideration is to reduce the density of the units.1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, eachsyst

4、em shall be used independently of the other. Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard. Some values have only SI units because theinch-pound equivalents are not used in practice.NOTE 1Sieve size is identified by its standard designation in Speci-fication E11

The alternative designation given in parentheses is forinformation only and does not represent a different standard sieve size.1.3 The text of this specification references notes andfootnotes which provide explanatory material.

40、X(Nonmandatory Information)X1. AGGREGATE GRADING GUIDE FOR CONCRETE MASONRY UNITS WITH LOWER DENSITIESX1.1 Concrete masonry units with lower densities aremanufactured with lightweight aggregate, with a blend oflightweight aggregates, or a blend of lightweight and normal-weight aggregates. Because th

41、e aggregates being blended maycome from several different sources, the proper combinedaggregate grading (see Fig. X1.1 and Table X1.1) is important,and is one of the essential ingredients in producing qualityconcrete masonry units. The combined aggregate gradingrange shown optimizes the particle siz

42、e distribution which, inturn, optimizes the quality of the CMU in the following ways:X1.1.1 Compactibility and high strengths are obtained with-out excessive amounts of cementitious materials.X1.1.2 Shrinkage is reduced by maximizing aggregatepacking.X1.1.3 Water absorption and penetration are reduc

43、ed be-cause of improved compaction.X1.1.4 Resistance to freezing and thawing is improvedbecause better compaction results in fewer interconnectedvoids.FIG.

(“0” is optimum.) (Refer to Let

46、ter “A” in Fig.X1.1.)X1.2.2 A uniform, fine textured surface is controlled bylimiting the material on 4.75 mm (No. 4) and 2.36 mm (No. 8)sieves. (Refer to Letter “B” in Fig. X1.1.)X1.2.3 A minimum of 8 % passing the 150 m (No. 100)sieve is desirable for green strength, moldability and compac-tion. L

47、ess than 8 % is acceptable when using mixtures withhigh cementitious material content.
