Standard Test Method for Density and Void Content of Freshly Mixed Pervious Concrete

Importancia y uso:

5.1 This test method provides a procedure for determining the density and void content of freshly mixed pervious concrete.

5.2 This test method is applicable to pervious concrete mixtures containing coarse aggregate with a nominal maximum size of 25 mm [1 in.] or smaller.

5.3 The measured fresh density may be used as verification of mixture proportions.

5.4 This method uses a standard consolidation procedure to measure fresh density and void content of a pervious concrete mixture as delivered. Test results are not intended to represent the density and void content of the in-place pervious concrete. This method shall not be used to determine the in-place void content or yield of the pervious concrete.

5.5 The fresh density and void content calculated from this test method may be different when comparing the results from Procedure A with Procedure B. Results are only comparable when obtained using the same procedure (Procedure A or B).
