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 aggregate

39、s, or a blend of lightweight and normal-weight aggregates. Because the 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.

40、 The combined aggregate gradingrange shown optimizes the particle size 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 maximizi

41、ng aggregatepacking.X1.1.3 Water absorption and penetration are reduced be-cause of improved compaction.X1.1.4 Resistance to freezing and thawing is improvedbecause better compaction results in fewer interconnectedvoids.X1.2 CommentsX1.2.1 Keep particles retained on the 9.5 mm (38 in.) sieveto a min

42、imum. (“0” is optimum.) (Refer to Letter “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.
