I am trying to find an standard/guideline for testing a concrete/mortar mixture containing more than one source of aggregate (we have a fine and coarse aggregate). I am already familiar with ASTM C1260, ASTM C1567, ASTM C1293 and AASHTO TP110. But they discuss testing only for one source of aggregate.
We already know that none of them is completely none-reactive (Separate testing ASTM C1260).
Was wondering if anyone knows a standardized test procedure or a guideline for testing the combined aggregate?
Hello,
You can take a look at the rilem recommandations hereafter especially the methods aar3 and aar4
https://www.rilem.net/docs/2015102851_complete-pdf-protege.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwjhw76foOPcAhUIWxoKHWb4ABUQFjADegQICBAB&usg=AOvVaw18bkEciDlfLXDuR0jol22c
You will find some tests dedicated to the aggregate combination qualication. In France these kind of test on concrete is used as a performance concrete test (qualification of the concrete formula expected on site accordant to nf p 18-454).
