3、his test method provides a standard procedure for sampling and testing mortars for compositionand plastic and hardened properties, either before or during actual construction. The proceduresoutlined in the Annexes are considered applicable for evaluating various combinations of portlandcement, lime,

4、 and masonry cement for mortars common to plain and reinforced unit masonryconstruction.The test procedures describe methods for the measurement of mortar composition and mortarproperties. No attempt is made to claim or substantiate specific correlations between the measuredproperties and mortar per

5、formance in the masonry. However, data from these test methods can becombined with other information to formulate judgments about the quality of the masonry.Testing using these procedures is limited to the preconstruction evaluation of masonry mortarswithin the laboratory, to the evaluation of mason

6、ry mortars at the construction site, and in establishingthe degree of quality control exercised during mortar production at the construction site.1. Scope*1.1 This test method covers procedures for the sampling and testing of mortars for composition and for their plastic andhardened properties, eith

Terminology3.1 Terminology defined in Terminology C1180 shall apply for this test method.3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 Terms peculiar to testing masonry mortar are indicated and defined below:3.2.2 disturbed sampleany plastic mortar test sample which is taken at some

21、time after mixing and bulk sampling, that isfurther remixed or molded immediately prior to test, or both.3.2.3 undisturbed sampleany plastic mortar test sample molded immediately after mixing and sampling that sits on avibration-free surface until tested.3.3 During sampling, the following descriptio

22、ns will identify sample locations:3.3.1 Batch mixer samples are those obtained during or immediately after the discharge of the mortar from the batch mixer.3.3.2 Mortar board samples are those obtained from the mortar board after some established time period from the end ofmixing, and before retempe

23、ring. Retempered mortar board samples are those obtained from the mortar board after retempering.Since mortar on a masons mortar board is disturbed by the activity of the mason, samples from a masons mortar board shall beso identified to differentiate them from samples taken from a mortar board used

24、 exclusively for test purposes.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 Preconstruction evaluation of mortar systems involves the preparation of one or more trial batches which are mixed in thelaboratory using mechanical batch mixers. These trial batches are sampled and used in establishing the plastic and hard

25、enedproperties of the mixtures. Because all the trial mixtures are prebatched by weight, additional characteristics of the mortars maybe calculated and used in an analysis of mortar performance.4.2 During actual construction, evaluation of masonry mortars is possible by sampling the mortar at variou

26、s stages ofconstruction, and performing tests on both its plastic and hardened properties. The test results permit further verification ofpreconstruction testing, and reflect batch-to-batch variations introduced during mortar production and use at the construction site.More immediate corrective acti

27、on for the mixing procedure is thereby attainable.4.3 The following test methods may be singly or collectively incorporated into the testing to establish mortar composition, andmortar plastic and hardened properties:4.3.1 Annex A1Consistency by Cone Penetration Test Method,4.3.2 Annex A2Consistency

Signi

30、ficance and Use5.1 During preconstruction and construction evaluations, use of these test methods establishes specific and overall performancecharacteristics for the mortar system.5.2 Preconstruction testing of mortars prebatched by weight provides information for the selection of the individual mor

31、tarsystem best suited for the masonry to be constructed. The recommended tests and their significance are as follows:5.2.1 Consistency determinations by cone penetration (Annex A1) allow gaging the water additions for all mortars included inthe preconstruction test series. Even if the mortar consist

32、ency as measured at the construction site is at a different penetration valuethan those measured during the preconstruction tests, the cone preparation test serves to standardize water additions for mortarsbeing considered as alternatives before construction. Additional testing of mortar water conte

33、nt-consistency relationships (AnnexA4) will allow relating these two factors to batch-to-batch variations at the construction site.5.2.2 Consistency retention by cone penetration (Annex A2) using disturbed or undisturbed mortar samples provides a meansof establishing the early-age setting and stiffe

34、ning characteristics of the mortars. Because laboratory testing is conducted understatic climatic conditions, consistency retention test results reflect the relative performance of the mortar systems under test. Thesame general relationships are expected to hold during testing at the construction pr

35、oject, except as they are influenced by jobsiteweather conditions.5.2.3 Mortar water-content determinations (Annex A4) allow measurement of the water content of the mortar mixture. Mortarsprebatched using moist masonry sand may be mathematically analyzed for mortar water content; however, this test,

36、 when used forpreconstruction evaluation, establishes the effectiveness of the test method and serves as the control or base for tests performedat the construction site.5.2.4 Mortar aggregate ratio testing (Annex A4) provides a method for determining the ratio of aggregate-to-cementitiousmaterials.

37、The sieving operation employed during this test is incapable of separating an individual cementitious material whenmore than one such material is used, but can accurately establish the aggregate-to-cementitious materials ratio of the mixture.5.2.5 Mortar air-content testing (Annex A5) is useful in e

38、stablishing the value of this component of the mortar. This test is ofparticular importance in evaluating mortars that contain air-entraining portland cement, air-entraining lime, masonry cement or anycombination thereof.5.2.6 Compressive strength testing (Annex A6) of molded mortar cylinders and cu

39、bes establishes one of the characteristics ofhardened mortar. Mortar compressive strength test values are not representative of the actual compressive strength of mortar in theassembly and are not appropriate for use in predicting the compressive strength that would be attained by the mortar in the

40、masonryassembly. The measured compressive strength of a molded mortar specimen is almost always lower than the strength of the samemortar in the wall, primarily as a result of differences in mortar water content and specimen shape. Mortar compressive strengthis influenced by mortar water content at

41、the time of set. Because molded mortar specimens are not in contact with absorptivemasonry units and are not subjected to other mechanisms of water loss, they have higher water contents than mortar in the wall.Higher water contents almost always result in lower strengths. Specimen size and shape als

42、o affect compressive strength. Cylindersand cubes exhibit different strengths even when made from the same mortar mix. Both of these specimen configurations yield lowerstrengths than what would be attained if a specimen having the same size and configuration of a typical mortar joint could bereliabl

43、y tested.NOTE 3When cube and cylinder test specimens from like mixtures are to be compared, the cylinder compressive strength is approximately 85 % ofthe cube compressive strength.5.3 Testing during the actual construction may employ one or more of the test methods described in 4.2. Repetitive testi

44、ng usingthese test methods on consecutive or intermittent batches provides a method for measurement of batch-to-batch variations in themortar production. Testing during actual construction may be referenced to laboratory testing and used to predict later age mortarcharacteristics. In addition to the

45、 comments in 5.2, the following test meanings may be obtained from construction project testing:5.3.1 Consistency by cone penetration (Annex A1) is used as a quick reference for indicating batch-to-batch variations in mixingredients and mixing time. Erratic consistency readings indicate poor control

46、 during batching and mixing, but they do notindicate if cement, sand, or water additions are improper. Other test methods must be used to isolate and identify the unsatisfactoryproportioning or mixing procedure, for example, cement to aggregate, mortar water, or air content tests.5.3.2 Consistency r

47、etention by cone penetration (Annex A2) tests establishes the early-age setting and stiffening characteristicsof the mortar.These properties are influenced by mix proportions and ingredients, weather conditions, effects of chemical additives,and mixing time.5.3.3 Individual and repeated evaluations

48、of mortar water content (AnnexA4) show the ability of the mixer operator to properlyand consistently add water to the mixer.5.3.4 Individual and repeated tests for mortar aggregate ratio (AnnexA4) show the ability of the mixer operator to properly andconsistently add the cementitious material and sa

49、nd to the mixer, and will establish batch-to-batch variations in the compositionof the mortar.5.3.5 Individual and repetitive tests for mortar air content (Annex A5) show the changes caused by variations in mixing time,mixing efficiency and other factors.C780 1635.3.6 Comparison of compressive strength tests (Annex A6) of field batched mortars to preconstruction mortar compressiontests, each conducted in accordance with this test method, can be used to identify variations in mortar mix constituents and/orproportions.
