In this case, the sample must be surrounded on all sides by a layer of water at least 20 mm thick. The saturation time in water is included in the total age of the solution.

10.7. Carrying out the test

10.7.1. Basic samples saturated with water should be placed in the freezer in special containers or placed on mesh shelves. The distance between samples, as well as between samples and the walls of containers and overlying shelves, must be at least 50 mm.

10.7.2. Samples should be frozen in a freezing unit that allows the chamber with the samples to be cooled and maintained at a temperature of minus 15-20 °C. The temperature should be measured at half the height of the chamber.

10.7.3. Samples should be loaded into the chamber after the air in it has cooled to a temperature not exceeding minus 15 °C.

type and composition of the solution, design grade for frost resistance;

DETERMINING THE STRENGTH OF THE SOLUTION TAKEN FROM THE JOINTS,

FOR COMPRESSION

1. The strength of the solution is determined by compression testing of cubes with ribs 2-4 cm, made from two plates taken from horizontal joints of masonry or joints of large-panel structures.

2. The plates are made in the form of a square, the side of which is 1,5 times the thickness of the plate equal to the thickness of the seam.

3. Gluing the mortar plates to obtain cubes with 2-4 cm edges and leveling their surfaces is done using a thin layer of gypsum dough ( 1-2 mm).

4. It is allowed to cut cube samples from plates in the case when the thickness of the plate provides the required rib size.

5. Samples should be tested one day after their manufacture.

6. Sample cubes from solution with edges of length 3-4 cm are tested according to paragraphs of this standard.

7. For testing cube samples made of mortar with ribs 2 cm, as well as thawed solutions, a small-sized desktop press of the PS type is used. The normal load range is 1,0-5,0 kN ( 100-500 kgf).

8. The strength of the solution is calculated according to clause of this standard. The strength of the solution should be determined as the arithmetic mean of the test results of five samples.

9. To determine the strength of the solution in cubes with ribs 7,07 cm, the test results of cubes of summer and winter mortars that hardened after thawing should be multiplied by the coefficient given in the table.
