Cements and Admixtures• Cements
– Types I through V, p. 250– Special purpose, p. 251
• Admixtures– Accelerators and retarders– Plasticizers– Air entrainment– Water reduction– Corrosion inhibiters– Beware possible adverse interaction; a few % matter

Temperature Effects
• Lower temperature slows hydration• Higher temperature speeds hydration• Water or aggregate can be artificially
heated or cooled• Freezing during first day or two is
devastating• Shrinkage may exceed tensile strength:
saw joints

Water: Strength vs. Slump• Little water for hydration; most for workability• Water-cement ratio, w/c:
– Extremely critical for strength: lower is better– Determined mainly by amount water/sack cement– Δ1 gal/sack cement = Δ500 to 1,000 lb/in2 (psi)
• Slump– Indicates (does not measure) consistency– Match to formwork and reinforcement configuration– Determined mainly by amount of water per yd3
– Δ1 gal/yd3 concrete = Δ1-in slump

• Types– Bars– Welded wire fabric (WWF)
• Accessories– Bolsters and chairs– Ties and clips

Inspection Before Placement
• Plant– Consistency– Mix materials: tests, p. 264– Batching and mixing equipment– Pre-stressed members– Reports, p. 268

Inspection Before Placement (Cont’d)
• Site– Reinforcement
• Surface condition• Strength• In-place configuration and fastening
– Foundation, Table 10-9– Formwork, Table 10-10
• Commercial, reusable systems• Job-built
– Timely correction is critical

Inspection During Placement
• Checklist, Table 10-12• Delivery: adequate trucks, tools, labor?• Placement
– Methods– Delivery tickets
• Pumping, pp. 280-81• Construction joints

Weather Extremes
• Heat > 90oF– Time of day– Crushed ice replaces water lb for lb– Enclosure?
• Cold < 40oF– Heat components– Enclosure
• Not only temperature, but also gradient from time rate of internal temperature change

Concrete Tests
• Pass, substantially comply, or fail• Random, representative samples• Sample from middle 70% of batch• Waste tested concrete• Make sure number and type of tests are
specified
![Page 11: Portland Cement Concrete Module #10](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020118/568167f3550346895ddd6846/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Statistics in Quality Control
• Specifications can use statistics to derive target values that should be achieved.
• Tolerances can be based on variations in materials, testing, processes, and sampling.– They consider all variable factors that
influence outcomes.– They can be realistic and enforceable.
![Page 12: Portland Cement Concrete Module #10](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020118/568167f3550346895ddd6846/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
2005, Randy R. Rapp 12
Randomness of Testing
• Obtained by purposeful action– Not haphazard selection– Not merely without intentional bias
• Each part of a batch, each lot, should have same chance of being chosen as any other.
![Page 13: Portland Cement Concrete Module #10](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020118/568167f3550346895ddd6846/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
2005, Randy R. Rapp 13
Randomness of Testing(Cont’d)
• A lot is a prescribed and defined quantity of material from the same process, for the same purpose.– All sampling and testing requirements are in relation
to the lot.– Must establish lot size to determine proper sampling
location and frequency.– Sublots, e.g., for paving batches
• keep sampling and testing spaced out more evenly• reduces chance of extended periods without testing, such as
start and finish periods.

Slump Test
• Three layers of equal volume, not height
• Measure to center of slumped sample, not highest point
• Changes in slump indicate changes in consistency: find out why

Air Entrainment Test
• Type A (shown) and Type B meters
• Consolidate to remove voids
• Air pressure collapses entrained air
• Volume change is correlated to bowl volume to find % air

Yield Tests
• Sample introduced into 0.5-ft3 (≤ 1.5-in aggregate) or 1-ft3 (≤ 3-in aggregate) mold
• Three equal volume layers: rod 25 times in smaller mold, 50 in larger

Cylinder and Beam Tests• Cylinders (6-in x 12-
in) for compressive strength
• Beams (6-in x 6-in x 20-in) for flexural strength
• Larger molds if aggregate >2-in
• Two samples from middle of batch
