Standard Test Methods for Measurement of Masonry Flexural Bond Strength

Importancia y uso:

5.1 This test method is intended for use in comparing the bond strengths (under the given conditions) of masonry mortars.

5.2 This test method could be used, for example, to check one aspect of the quality of mortar products after production, or to indicate the bond potential of a mortar product without requiring the product to be tested in combination with many different units.

5.3 This test method uses controlled conditions of fabrication and curing that are not intended to represent field conditions.

5.4 This test method uses standard concrete masonry units. Mortars are batched by weight equivalents of volume proportions and are mixed to a prescribed flow. Prisms are constructed using a jig and are bag-cured.

5.5 Flexural bond strength determined by this test method shall not be interpreted as the flexural bond strength of a wall (because standard units are not used for wall construction), nor shall it be interpreted as an indication of extent of bond for purposes of water permeability evaluation.
