As per ASTM C 579, test methods cover the determination of the compressive strength of
chemical-resistant mortars, grouts, monolithic surfacing, and polymer
concretes. These materials may be based on resin, silicate, silica, or sulphur
binders.
There
are 3 methods are explained in this standard:
Test Method A - outlines the testing procedure generally used for
systems containing aggregate less than 0.0625 in. (1.6 mm) in size. Moulds size
shall be right cylinder of 25mm in diameter by 25mm high are tested
Test Method B - covers the testing procedure generally used for
systems containing aggregate from 0.0625 to 0.4 in. (1.6 to 10 mm) in size. Moulds
size of 50 mm cube are tested.
Test Method C - is used for systems containing aggregate larger
than 0.4 in. Moulds shall be right cylinders diameter shall be at least four
times the nominal maximum aggregate size in the mix, but minimum cylinder diameter
shall be 50 mm. The cylinder height shall be two times the diameter.
Filling
and Capping for top with Resin, Silica, and Silicate Specimens—The top layer
may be filled to slightly below the top edge of the mould except for sulphur
materials.
Let see the testing procedure:
