ASTM C1810 – Standard Guide for Comparing Performance of Concrete-Making Materials Using Mortar Mixtures
This guide provides information on how to compare the relative performance and potential incompatibility of combinations of concrete-making materials.
Performance tests on fresh and early-age properties of mortar mixtures can be useful indicators of concrete performance using similar materials.
The performance tests described in this guide include mortar-slump, mortar spread, mortar-workability retention, early stiffening of mortar, time of setting, air entrainment, and hydration kinetics.
