Air content test
(OP)
Hi
Can you help me ? Durable concrete test required slump test and air content test ?
I see the slump test in ACI-336.1-01
But I don't know much about air content test , purpose and range of air percent and what ASTM or ACI spec use for it .
Thanks you

RE: Air content test
Air content is very important for durability in freeze-thaw environments. Specs are commonly location and job specific. We commonly see air (where required) as low as 4% and as high as 8%. ACI, CSA, AASHTO,and other authorities etc. will provide guidance as to suggested air content ranges for various applications.
