3、thod covers test procedures for evaluating the soundness of riprap rock for erosion control by the effects of a sodium or magnesium sulfate solution on slabs of rock. The test is an accelerated weathering test that simulates the freezing and thawing of cold weather exposure. The rock slabs, prepared

It is beyond the scope of this standard to consider signicant digits used in analytical methods for engineering design. 1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use.

The ability of riprap to withstand deter

29、ioration from weathering affects both the effectiveness of the project and its cost. The The sodium sulfate or magnesium sulfate soundness test is one method by which to estimate qualitatively the durability of rock under weathering conditions. This test method was developed to be used in conjunctio

30、n with additional test methods listed in Practice D4992. This test method does not provide an absolute value, but rather an indication of the resistance to freezing and thawing; therefore, the results of this test method are not to be used as the sole basis for the determination of rock durability.

31、NOTE 1The quality of results produced by this standard is dependent on the competence of the personnel performing it and suitability of the equipment and facilities used. Agencies that meet the criteria of Practice D3740 are generally considered capable of competent and objective testing. Reliable r

32、esults depend on many factors and Practice D3740 provides a means of evaluating some of them. 4.2 The results of this test method are not to be used as the sole basis for determination of rock durability, but rather should always be used in conjunction with the results of other tests. 5.3 This test

33、method has been used to evaluate many different types of rocks.There have been occasions when test results have provided data that have not agreed with the durability of rock under actual eld conditions; samples yielding a low soundness loss have disintegrated in actual usage, and the reverse has be
