19、enitions of Terms Specic to This Standard: 3.2.1 rock saw, na saw capable of cutting rock. The term rock saw shall include the blade which saws the rock, any components that control or power the sawing process or both, and framework on which the blade and any other associated components are mounted.

20、 3.2.2 slab, na section of rock having two smooth, approximately parallel faces, produced by two saw cuts. The thickness of the slab is generally less than the other dimensions of the rock. The slab will be the specimen of a rock which will subsequently undergo durability tests. The words slab and s

21、pecimen are interchangeable throughout the test method. 3.2.3 armor stone, nstone generally 900 to 2,700 kg one to three tons resulting from blasting, cutting, or by other methods placed along shorelines or in jetties to protect the shoreline from erosion due to the action of large waves. 3.2.4 brea

23、 and graded, when properly placed prevents erosion through minor wave action, or strong currents and thereby preserves the shape of a surface, slope, or underlying structure. 3.2.6 gabion-llstone,nstonegenerallylessthan22kg50lbandplacedinbasketsofwireorothersuitablematerial.These baskets are then ti

24、ed together to form an integral structure designed to resist erosion along stream banks and around bridge piers. 4. Summary of Test Method 4.1 Erosion control rock samples are trimmed into saw-cut slab specimens. Each slab is structurally examined macroscopically and under 20 magnication. The specim

25、ens are exposed to up to 55 freezing-thawing cycles. The trimmed slabs are initially immersed in an alcohol/water solution for a minimum of 12 h. The slabs are then frozen for a minimum of 12 h then thawed for 8 to 12 h.At the completion of the test, the percent loss by mass for each specimen set is

26、 determined.Avisual examination of the slabs is performed throughout and at the end of testing. The type of deterioration and changes to previously noted planes of weakness are recorded. 5. Signicance and Use 5.1 Rockforerosioncontrolconsistsofindividualpiecesofnaturalstone.Theabilityoftheseindividu

27、alpiecesofstonetoresist deterioration due to weathering action affects the stability of the integral placement of rock for erosion control and hence, the stability of construction projects, structures, shorelines, and stream banks. 5.2 This test method is designed to determine the effects of freezin

28、g and thawing action on the individual pieces of rock for erosion control and the resistance of the rock to deterioration. This test method was developed to be used in conjunction with additional test methods listed in Practice D4992. This test method does not provide an absolute value but rather an

29、 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. NOTE 1The quality of the result produced by this standard is dependent upon the competence of the personnel performing it,

30、and the suitability of the equipment and facilities used. Agencies that meet the criteria of Practice D3740 are generally considered capable of competent and objective testing/sampling/inspection/etc.UsersofthisstandardarecautionedthatcompliancewithPracticeD3740doesnotinitselfassurereliableresults.R

31、eliable results depend on many factors; Practice D3740 provides a means of evaluation some of those factors. 6. Apparatus 6.1 Rock SawAlaboratory diamond saw used to cut geological and concrete specimens, or a diamond saw used for lapidary purposes,shallbeacceptable.Aminimumbladediameterof36cm14in.w

32、illbeneededtoobtaintherequiredslabsizes(alarger one is preferable). The blade shall be a circular diamond blade. 6.1.1 Therocksawapparatusshallhaveaxedorremovablevisetoholdthesamplesduringthecuttingprocess.Anautomatic feed (either gravity, hydraulic, or screwfeed operated) that controls the cutting

33、action is preferred; however, a manual feed is also acceptable. The saw shall have a platform to prevent the cut slab from falling and shattering. 6.2 Freeze-Thaw Chamber or Home FreezerAtimer-controlled freeze-thaw chamber specically designed for timed cycling of 16 h of freezing at -186 2.5 C 06 5

34、 F followed by a minimum of 8 h of thawing at 326 2.5 C 906 5 F on a daily basis is the most desirable option. This type of apparatus is commercially available and allows for the completion of one freeze-thaw cycle every day including weekends and holidays. D5312/D5312M 12 (2013) 26.2.1 If a freeze-

35、thaw chamber is not available, a standard chest-type home freezer capable of reaching and maintaining the required temperature range in accordance with 6.2 may be used. 6.2.2 The limitations associated with this option are related to the fact that the freeze-thaw cycling must be accomplished manuall

36、y. Typically only four cycles of freezing and thawing may be accomplished during a normal work week. 6.3 Thawing Oven (if option 6.2.1 is used)Thermostatically controlled oven meeting the requirements of Specication E145 and capable of maintaining a constant temperature of 326 2.5 C 906 5 F. Prefera

37、bly the oven should be vented outside the building. 6.4 DryingOvenThermostaticallycontrolledovenmeetingtherequirementsofSpecicationE145andcapableofmaintaining a uniform temperature of 1106 5 C 2306 9 F throughout the drying chamber. These requirements typically require the use of a forced-draft type

38、 oven. Preferably the oven should be vented outside the building. 6.4.1 A single oven may be used in lieu of the thawing and drying ovens if it meets the requirements of both 6.3 and 6.4. 6.5 ContainersOfsufficientsizetoholdthespecimenspartiallyimmersedinanalcohol/watersolution.Itisadvisedthatthese

39、containers be non-reactive, resistant to breakage and resistant to deformation and degradation when exposed to temperatures encountered in this test method. 6.6 Absorptive Pads6-mm 1 4 in. thick felt pads, blotters, synthetic ber carpeting or similar absorptive material for placing between specimens

40、 and the container bottom. 6.7 BalanceA balance capable of determining the mass of the specimen to the nearest 0.1% of the total mass meeting the requirements of Specication D4753. 6.8 CameraA digital or lm camera capable of producing good quality, color photographs for before and after photographs.

41、 6.9 StereomicroscopeAmicroscopeorothersuitablemagnifyingdevice,capableofatleast20magnicationforexamination of the specimen prior to and after testing. Ideally, a camera body could be mounted to the stereomicroscope, allowing the user to document the small-scale bedding or potential planes of weakne

42、ss within the test specimen. 6.10 Photographic ScaleA scale of appropriate dimension and division when compared to the eld of view and the detail being studied. When selecting a scale, always choose the scale that will provide at least as precise a measurement as the system that will be measuring th

43、e photographic information. If the system has a precision to one millimeter, make sure the scale used is accurate and precise to at least one millimeter across the entire scale. 7. Special Solutions 7.1 The special solution required for this test method consists of a 0.5% isopropyl alcohol/water sol

44、ution. This solution may be mixed and stored ahead of time. It will be used to replenish the solution as the test proceeds. Commercially available isopropyl alcohol as opposed to reagent grade is suitable. NOTE 2The 0.5% isopropyl alcohol contained in the special solution is to lower the viscosity o

45、f water, allowing for more thorough penetration of the water into the test specimens micro-pores prior to freezing. 8. Sampling, Test Specimens, and Test Units 8.1 A source of rock to be sampled shall be guided by the principles in Practice D4992. 8.2 Rocksourcesmaybefrommine,quarry,outcrop,oreldbou

46、lders.Visualobservationofcolor,texture,mineralogy,orsome other feature, will be the key to proper representative sampling. 8.2.1 Arock source that is macroscopically uniform shall be represented by a minimum of ve pieces of the material obtained from separate locations within the source area. This g

47、roup is considered as a specimen set. 8.2.2 A rock source that is macroscopically non-uniform shall be represented by a minimum of eight pieces of the material obtained from separate locations within the source area. This group is considered as a specimen set. 8.2.3 Sample the rock types in their ap
