1.1 This practice outlines procedures for the petrographic examination of samples of hardened concrete. The samples examined may be taken from concrete constructions, they may be concrete products or portions thereof, or they may be concrete or mortar specimens that have been exposed in natural environments, or to simulated service conditions, or subjected to laboratory tests. The phrase “concrete constructions” is intended to include all sorts of objects, units, or structures that have been built of hydraulic cement concrete. 1.2 The petrographic procedures
outlined herein are applicable to the examination of samples of all
types of hardened hydraulic-cement mixtures, including concrete,
mortar, grout, plaster, stucco, terrazzo, and the like. In this
practice, the material for examination is designated as “concrete,”
even though the commentary may be applicable to the other mixtures,
unless the reference is specifically to media other than
concrete.
1.3 Annex A1 outlines an uranyl acetate method for identifying locations where alkali-silica gel may be present. It is a requirement that the substances in those locations must be identified using any other more definitive techniques, such as petrographic microscopy. 1.4 The purposes of and procedures for petrographic examination of hardened concrete are given in the following sections:
1.5 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The SI units in parentheses are provided for information purposes only. 1.6 This standard does not
purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated
with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard
to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine
the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
