Standard Test Method for Length Change of Hardened Hydraulic-Cement Mortar and Concrete
Also Known As:
ASTM C157/C157M-17 is a standard test method that allows for the measurement of length change in hardened hydraulic-cement mortar and concrete. The purpose of this test is to assess the potential for volumetric expansion or contraction of the material due to factors other than applied force or temperature change. It is particularly useful for comparing the potential length changes in different mixtures of hydraulic-cement mortar or concrete.
This test method provides valuable information for experimental purposes or for products that require testing under nonstandard conditions such as variations in mixing, placing, handling, or curing. Standard conditions for this test method are specified in the document, but it also allows for deviations from these standard conditions to be reported. Any nonstandard conditions and the reasons for their departure from the standard should be clearly and prominently reported along with comparator values.
