0 <br />phi <br />0 <br />Test results obtained at the frequency provided above represent the <br />chloride content of all concrete placed subsequent to the preceding test for the <br />determination of chloride content. <br />346 -4.2.3 Certification: Determine the chloride content, and certify the test <br />results of chloride determinations to the Department. Include in the certification all <br />pertinent data required by the Department. The Department will require properly executed <br />certifications showing the chloride content within the required limits for acceptance of all <br />concrete produced in accordance with these Specifications. <br />346 -4.2.4 Control Level for Corrective Action: If the test results indicate that <br />the chloride level is greater than the following limits, suspend concrete production until <br />implementing corrective measures acceptable to the Engineer. <br />(1) Chloride content of 0.65 Ib /yd3 [0.39 kg /m3] or greater for <br />reinforced concrete that does not require Type II cement plus slag or pozzolan(s). <br />(2) Chloride content of 0.35 Ib /yd3 [0.21 kg /M3] or greater for <br />prestressed concrete and all applications that require Type II cement with slag or <br />pozzolan(s). <br />The Engineer will reject the concrete exceeding the maximum <br />allowable chloride content limits shown in 346-4.2.1. <br />346 -5 Sampling and Testing Methods. <br />Perform concrete sampling and testing in accordance with the following methods: <br />TABLE 5 <br />Description <br />Method <br />Slump of Hydraulic Cement Concrete <br />ASTM C 143 [ASTM C 143M] <br />Air Content of Freshly Mixed Concrete by the Pressure <br />Method* <br />ASTM C 231 <br />Air Content of Freshly Mixed Concrete by the <br />Volumetric Method* <br />ASTM C 173 [ASTM C 173M] <br />Making and Curing Test Specimens in the Field <br />ASTM C 31 [ASTM C 31 M] <br />Compressive Strength of Cylindrical Concrete <br />Specimens * <br />ASTM C 39 [ASTM C 39M] <br />Obtaining and Testing Drilled Core and Sawed Beams of <br />Concrete <br />ASTM C 42 [ASTM C 42M] <br />Early Sampling of Fresh Concrete During the Initial <br />Placement <br />FM 5 -501 <br />Low Levels of Chloride in Concrete and Raw Materials <br />FM 5-516 <br />Density (Unit Weight), Yield and Air Content <br />(Gravimetric) of Concrete <br />ASTM C 138 [ASTM C 138M] <br />Temperature of Freshly Mixed Portland Cement <br />Concrete <br />ASTM C 1064 [ASTM C 1064M] <br />Sampling Freshly Mixed Concrete <br />ASTM C 172 <br />*Use the same type of meter for QC tests as the Department uses for Verification testing. <br />When using pressure type meters, use an aggregate correction factor determined by the <br />concrete producer for each mix design to be tested.
