Requirements for quality of concrete shall be either as hereinafter specified or a8 specified by the purchaser. In any case where the requirements of the purchaser differ from these in this specification, the purchaser's specification shall govern. This specification’ does not cover the placement, consolidation, curing, of protection of the concrete after delivery to the purchaser. 1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are 10 be regarded as the standard. The values in parentheses are for information only. 1.3 As used throughout this specification the manufac- turer shall be the contractor, subcontractor, supplier, or producer who furnishes the ‘ready-mixed conorete. The purchaser shall be the owner or representative thereof, 1.4 The text of this standard references notes and foot- notes which provide explanatory material. These notes and footnotes (excluding those in tables and figures) shall not be considered as requirements of the standard. 2.

Basis of Purchase 3.1 The basis of purchase shall be the cubie yard or cubic metre of freshly mixed and unhardened concrete as dis- charged from the mixer. 3.2 The volume of freshly mixed and unhardened con- crete in a given batch shall be determined from the total weight of the batch divided by the unit weight of the concrete. The total weight of the batch shall be calculated cither as the sum of the weights of all materials, including ‘water, entering the batch or as the net weight of the concrete in the batch as delivered. The unit weight shall be deter- ‘mined in accordance with Test Method C 138 from the average of at least three measurements, each on a different sample using a ¥-A (14 dm?) container, Each sample shall be taken from the midpoint of each of three different truck loads by the procedure outlined in Practice C 172. Nore Itt should be understood that the volume of bardened concrete may be, or appear to be, less than expected due 10 waste and spillage overexcavation, spreading forms, some los of entrained air, or settlement of wet mixtures, none of which are the responsibility ofthe producer 4. Materials 4.1 In the absence of designated applicable specifications covering requirements for quality of materials, the following specifications shall govern: 4.1.1 Cement—Cement shall conform to Specification C 150 or Specification C 595. The purchaser should specify ‘the type or types required, but if no type is specified, the requirements of Type I as prescribed in Specification C 150 shall apply. Nore 2—These diferent cements will produce concrete of different properties and should not be used interchangeably. 4.1.2 Aggregates —Aggregates shall conform to Specifica- tion C33 or Specification C 330 if lightweight concrete is specified by the purchaser. 4.13 Water: 4.1.3.1 The mixing water shall be clear and apparently clean. Ifit contains quantities of substances which discolor it or make it smell or taste unusual or objectionable oF cause suspicion, it shall not be used unless service records of concrete made with it or other information indicates that iis not injurious to the quality of the concrete, Water of ‘questionable quality shall be subject to the acceptance criteria of Table 1 4.1.3.2 Wash water from mixer washout operations may be used for mixing concrete provided tests of wash water comply with the physical test limits of Table 1. Wash water shall be tested at a weekly interval for approximately 4 weeks, and thereafier at a monthly interval provided no single'test exceeds the applicable limit (Note 3). Optional chemical limits in Table 2 may be specified by the purchaser ‘when appropriate for the construction. The testing frequency * Avail fom te American Asccinton of Ste Highway and Tranepora- ioe Offi, 444 N. Capitol St, NW, Sut 225, Washington, DC 20001 for chemical limits should be as given above or as specified by the purchaser. Nore 3—When recycled wash water is used, ateation should be sven to ellects on the dosage rate and batching sequence of it~ cntraining and other chemical admixtures, and 2 uniform amount should be used in consecutive batches, 4.1.4 Mineral Admixtures—Fly ash and raw or calcined ‘natural pozzolan shall conform to Specification C618 as applicable. 41.5 Ground Granulated Blast-Furnace Slag—Ground granulated blast furnace slag shall conform to Specification C989. 4.1.6 Air-Entraining Admixtures—Airentraining adm tures shall conform to Specification C 260. (Note 4) 4.1.7 Chemical Admixtures—Chemical admixtures shall conform to either Specification C 494 or C 1017 as appli- cable. (Note 4) Nore 4—In any given instance, the required dosage of si-en- training, accelerating, and retarding admixtures may vary. Therefore, 8 Tange of dosages shouldbe alloned which will permit obining the ested ef 5. Ordering Information 5.1 Im the absence of designated applicable general speci- fications, the purchaser shall specify the following: 5.1.1 Designated size, or sizes, of coarse aggregate, 5.1.2 Slump, or slumps, desired at the point of detivery (see Section 6 for acceptable tolerances), 5.1.3 When air-entrained concrete is specified, the air content of the samples taken at the point of discharge from the transportation unit (see Section 7 and Table 3 for the total air content and tolerances) (Note 5), 5.1.4 Which of Options A, B, or C shall be used as a basis for determining the proportions of the concrete to produce the required quality, and 5.1.5 When structural lightweight concrete is specified, the unit weight as wet weight, air-dry weight, or oven-dry weight (Note 6). [Nore $—In selecting the specified ar content, the purchaser should ‘consider the exposure conditions to which the concrete wil be subjected. Ait contents less than shown in Table 3 may not give the required resistance to freezing and thawing, which is the primary purpose of aireatrained concrete. Air contents higher than tbe levels shown msy reduce strength without contributing any further improvement of
