901.01 General Requirements
Provide facilities for sampling and inspecting cement at the mill, distribution point, and project . Store cement to allow access for inspection and identification of each shipment. Ensure that Portland cement does not develop false set if tested by the mortar method specified in ASTM C359. The Department defines false set as occurring if penetration is less than 5 mm at 5-, 8 -, or 11 -minute intervals . The Department will apply these limits if dif ficulties arise from premature stiffening during the concrete placement or finishing. Before concrete placement, provide the Engineer a copy of the Certification of Quality of Cement, as provided by the producer.
901.02 Testing
Cement and lime materials testing must be in accordance with the specified ASTM, AASHTO, or Department methods, as modified by this section.
901.03 Portland Cement
A.Type I, Type II, and Type III Portland Cements . Type I, Type II, and Type III Portland cements must meet the requirements of ASTM C150/C150M . The requirements for time of setting by Gillmore Needle or Vicat Needle and the 7-day and 28- day compressive strength apply.
B.Blended Cements . Blended cements must meet the requirements of ASTM C595 /C595M .
901.04 Masonry Cement
Masonry cement must meet the requirements of ASTM C91 /C91M , Type N, Type S, or Type M.
901.05 Hydrated Lime
Hydrated lime must meet the requirements of ASTM C207, Type S , or Type SA.
901.06 Slag Cement
Slag cement must meet the requirements of ASTM C989/C989M , Grade 100, minimum. MDOT Standard Specifications for Construction Section 901 9-4 901.07. Fly Ash Fly ash must meet the requirements of ASTM C618, Class F or Class C, except that the loss on ignition must not exceed 5 % and the air -entraining admixture uniformity requirement in ASTM C168, Table 3 of Supplementary Optional Physical Requirements , applies.
901.08 Silica Fume, Dry -Densified
Dry-densified silica fume must meet the requirements of ASTM C1240.
