- C 1581 Standard Test Method for Determining Age at Cracking and Induced Tensile Stress Characteristics of Mortar and Concrete under Restrained Shrinkage
Measures the strain development and cracking tendencies of specimens cast around a metal (steel) ring of specified dimensions. - C 1608 Standard Test Method for Chemical Shrinkage of Hydraulic Cement Paste
Measures water imbibition by a hydrating cement paste. Useful for quantifying hydration rates and for estimating water demand for mixture proportioning for internal curing. - C 1702 Standard Test Method for Measurement of Heat of Hydration of Hydraulic Cementitious Materials using Isothermal Conduction Calorimetry
Measures the heat release of a hydrating specimen of cement paste or mortar for ages out to 7 days, to provide an indication of hydration rates. Can also be used to examine cement/SCM/admixture compatability issues as described in C1679. - C 1698 Standard Test Method for Autogenous Strain of Cement Paste and Mortar
Measures autogenous (sealed) deformation of cement paste or mortar using a sealed corrugated tube protocol. C 1761 Standard Specification for Lightweight Aggregate for Internal Curing of Concrete includes test methods for determining the absorption and desorption properties of lightweight aggregate in support of mixture proportioning for internal curing.
