1、Designation: C55 11Standard Specification forConcrete Building Brick1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C55; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of originaladoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indica

2、tes the year of last reapproval. A superscriptepsilon () 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. Scope*1.1 This specification covers solid, dry-cast, concrete build-ing brick intended for

3、interior and exterior use in constructingstructural masonry, and are made from portland cement, water,and suitable mineral aggregates with or without the inclusionof other materials.NOTE 1Specification C1634 addresses concrete facing brick used infacing applications and other exposures (previously r

4、eferred to in earliereditions of this standard as Grade Nfor use as architectural veneer andfacing units in exterior walls and for use where high-strength andresistance to moisture penetration and severe frost action are desired). Thisspecification differs from C1634 in that it addresses properties

5、for concretebuilding brick used in non-facing, utilitarian applications (previouslyreferred to in earlier editions of this specification as Grade Sfor generaluse where moderate strength and resistance to frost action and moisturepenetration are required).1.2 The text of this specification references

21、to the durability of the concrete masonry unitsor any material customarily used in masonry construction.5. Physical Requirements5.1 At the time of delivery to the purchaser, units shallconform to the physical requirements prescribed in Table 1.5.1.1 When higher compressive strengths than those liste

22、din Table 1 are specified, the tested average net area compres-sive strength of three units shall equal or exceed the specifiedcompressive strength, and the following single unit strengthrequirements shall apply.5.1.1.1 When the specified compressive strength is less than5000 psi, no single unit net

23、 area compressive strength testresult shall be less than the specified compressive strengthminus 500 psi.5.1.1.2 When the specified compressive strength is 5000 psior greater, no single unit net area compressive strength testresult shall be less than 90 % of the specified compressivestrength.5.2 At

24、the time of delivery to the purchaser, the total lineardrying shrinkage of units shall not exceed 0.065 % when testedin accordance with Test Method C426.NOTE 4The purchaser is the public body or authority, association,corporation, partnership, or individual entering into a contract or agree-ment to

25、purchase or install, or both, concrete building brick. The time ofdelivery to the purchaser is FOB plant when the purchaser or thepurchasers agent transports the concrete building brick, or at the timeunloaded at the worksite if the manufacturer or the manufacturers agenttransports the concrete buil

(3.2 mm) from the specifiedstandard dimensions.NOTE 5Standard dimensions of concrete building brick are themanufacturers designated dimensions. Nominal dimensions

27、of modularsize concrete building brick are equal to the standard dimensions plus thethickness of one mortar joint. Nominal dimensions of nonmodular sizeconcrete building brick usually exceed the standard dimensions by18 to14in. (3.2 to 6.4 mm).6.2 CoringUnless otherwise specified, brick shall be ei-

28、ther solid or cored at the option of the seller. For cored concretebuilding brick, the net cross-sectional area in any plane parallelto the surface containing the cores shall be at least 75 % of thegross cross-sectional area measure in the same plane. No partof any hole shall be less than34 in. (19.

29、1 mm) from any edgeof the unit.7. Finish and Appearance7.1 All units shall be sound and free of cracks or otherdefects that interfere with the proper placement of the units orsignificantly impair the strength or permanence of the construc-tion. Minor cracks incidental to the usual method of manufac-

30、ture or minor chipping resulting from customary methods ofhandling in shipment and delivery are not grounds for rejec-tion.8. Methods of Sampling and Testing8.1 The purchaser or authorized representative shall beaccorded proper facilities to inspect and sample the concretebuilding brick at the place

31、 of manufacture from the lots readyfor delivery.8.2 Sample and test concrete building brick in accordancewith Test Methods C140 and Test Method C426, when appli-cable.8.3 Total linear drying shrinkage shall be based on tests ofconcrete building brick made with the same materials, concretemix design,

32、 manufacturing process, and curing method, con-ducted in accordance with Test Method C426 not more than 24months prior to delivery.9. Compliance9.1 If a sample fails to conform to the specified require-ments, the manufacturer shall be permitted to remove unitsfrom the shipment. A new sample shall be
