Test method used shall be referenced in the test report. 1024 -5 FLY ASH Provide fly ash that meets ASTM C618 for Class F or Class C, except ensure that the loss on ignition does not exceed 4%. Use fly ash that meets the optional physical requirements for uniformity shown in Table 3 of ASTM C618. Do not use Class C fly ash in Portland cement concrete if the alkali content of the cement exceeds 0.4%. All fly ash is sampled and tested by the Department as it arrives on the project at such frequency as established by the Department. 1024 -6 GROUND GRANULATED BLA ST FURNACE SLAG Use blast furnace slag that meets AASHTO M 302, Grade 100. All slag is sampled and tested by the Department as it arrives on the project at such frequency as established by the Department.
1024-7 Silica Fume
Provide silica fume (microsilica) that meets Tables 1, 2 and 3 of ASTM C1240. All silica fume is sampled and tested by the Department as it arrives on the project at such frequency as established by the Department. 1024 -8 NATURAL POZZOLANS Provide natural pozzolans that meet ASTM C618 for Class N pozzolans, except ensure that the loss on ignition does not exceed 4%. Use natural pozzolans that meet the optional physical requirements for uniformity shown in Table 2 of ASTM C618. All natural pozzolan is sampled and tested by the Department as it arrives on the project at such frequency as established by the Department. CONCRETE CURING MATERIALS 1026 -1 GENERAL All curing materials shall be free from impurities that may be detrimental to the concrete. 1026 -2 LIQUID MEMBRANE CURING COMPOUNDS
