ASTM C1262/C1262M-18 PDF Download

ASTM C1262/C1262M-18 is a standard test method that evaluates the freeze-thaw durability of dry-cast segmental retaining wall (SRW) units and related concrete units. The purpose of this test method is to determine the effects of freezing and thawing on these units when subjected to potable tap water or saline solution. It should be noted that this procedure is not intended to provide a quantitative measure for determining the expected service life of specific concrete units.

The test method covers the resistance to freezing and thawing of SRW units and related concrete units. These include dry-cast segmental retaining wall units as specified in ASTM C1372, as well as other related units such as hollow and solid concrete masonry units, concrete brick, and concrete roof pavers.

It is important for the testing laboratory conducting this test to be evaluated in accordance with Practice C1093. This ensures that the laboratory follows appropriate practices and procedures for accurate and reliable testing.
