1910A.1 Cementitious material.

1910A.1 Cementitious material. The concrete supplier shall furnish to the enforcement agency certification that the cement proposed for use on the project has been manufactured and tested in compliance with the requirements of ASTM C150 for portland cement and ASTM C595 or ASTM C1157 for blended hydraulic cement, whichever is applicable. When a mineral admixture or ground granulated blast-furnace slag is proposed for use, the concrete supplier shall furnish to the enforcement agency certification that they have been manufactured and tested in compliance with ASTM C618 or ASTM C989, whichever…

1910A.2 Tests of reinforcing bars.

1910A.2 Tests of reinforcing bars. Samples shall be taken from bundles as delivered from the mill, with the bundles identified as to heat number and the accompanying mill certificate. One tensile test and one bend test shall be made from a sample from each 10 tons (9080 kg) or fraction thereof of each size of reinforcing steel. Where positive identification of the heat number cannot be made or where random samples are to be taken, one series of tests shall be made from each 2 [1] / 2 tons (2270 kg) or fraction thereof of each size of reinforcing steel. Tests of reinforcing bars may be waived…

1910A.3 Tests for prestressing steel and anchorage .

1910A.3 Tests for prestressing steel and anchorage . All wires or bars of each size from each mill heat and all strands from each manu- factured reel to be shipped to the site shall be assigned an individual lot number and shall be tagged in such a manner that each lot can be accurately identified at the jobsite. Each lot of tendon and anchorage assemblies and bar couplers to be installed shall be likewise identified.

1910A.4 Composite construction cores.

1910A.4 Composite construction cores. Cores of the completed composite concrete construction shall be taken to demonstrate the shear strength along the contact surfaces. The cores shall be tested when the cast-in-place concrete is approximately 28 days old and shall be tested by a shear loading parallel to the joint between the precast concrete and the cast-in-place concrete. The minimum unit shear strength of the contact surface area of the core shall not be less than 100 psi (689 kPa). At least one core shall be taken from each building for each 5,000 square feet (465 m [2] ) of area of…

1910A.5 Proof tests for post-installed anchors in concrete.

1910A.5 Proof tests for post-installed anchors in concrete. When post-installed anchors are used in lieu of cast-in place bolts, the proof test loads, frequency and acceptance criteria shall be in accordance with this section. Exceptions. Proof tests are not required for the following: 1. Undercut anchors that allow visual confirmation of full set. 2. Repetitively installed anchors (with 3 or more identical anchors) of diameter one-quarter ( [ 1] / 4 ) in. or less used for distributed systems or architectural components. 3. Power actuated fasteners used to attach tracks of interior…
