Testing Standard Procedures
AASHTO T 152, Air Content of Freshly Mixed Concrete by
the Pressure Method.
Except for light weight concrete mixtures, WisDOT allows
only type B meters be used, that air meters be calibrated at
three points within the expected range of testing, that
calibration be performed every three months with calibration
records kept with the meter, and that periodic checks with a
calibration canister be performed with records available.
Comply with the air meter calibration procedure as detailed
in AASHTO T 152.
Air Meter Calibration
Air meter calibration every 3 months is required

Records must be with meter
Factors Affecting Air Content

Increase in w/cm ratio will increase air content.
Excessive mixing and/or vibration will decrease
air content.
Increase in air or concrete temperature will
decrease air content.
Increase in material passing the #100 sieve will
decrease air content.
Increase in material between the #30 and #100
sieve will increase air content.
Increase in slump will increase air content,

QC Test - Low Air

Contractor must:
Communicate immediately
React to the situation
Make plant adjustments if necessary
Spec says:
(2) If an individual air test is outside the spec limits, notify the
engineer and test as often as practicable on subsequent
loads until the air content is conforming. Document dosage
rates, time of day, and air temperature whenever adjusting
the air-entraining admixture dosage.
QC Test - Low Air

If ready mix truck it is allowable to:
add additional air entraining admixture and
revolutions to truck and retest to get into
specification
Time limits for delivery still apply
Start Up Low Air

WisDOT is assuming that contractor is testing at
plant prior to sending concrete out for placement
Test from first CY of load
If non-conforming do not incorporate concrete
into work
Retest
Communicate immediately with contractor on
what is happening to correct this situation
QC Test - High Air

Contractor must:
Communicate immediately
React to the situation
Make plant adjustments if necessary
Spec says:
(2) If an individual air test is outside the spec limits, notify the
engineer and test as often as practicable on subsequent
loads until the air content is conforming. Document dosage
rates, time of day, and air temperature whenever adjusting
the air-entraining admixture dosage.
QC Tests High Air

CMM 8.10.6.1
On QMP projects, evaluate strength data. If strengths are
acceptable, do not take a price reduction for high air
content. Contractor is responsible to provide additional
strength data, if necessary.
Start Up High Air

WisDOT is assuming that contractor is testing at
plant prior to sending concrete out for placement
Test from first CY of load
If non-conforming do not incorporate concrete
into work
Retest

Temperature
AASHTO T309
Important influence on concrete properties
High temps affect shrinkage and cracking
Cold temps affect cure time and strength
WisDOT only specifies cold weather
temperature of concrete of 50 degrees.
There is no hot weather specification
Concrete Temperature and Cold

Weather
Ambient air temp below 40 degrees can
require additional temp testing
Concrete temp must be above 50 degrees
Heating aggregates and water?
Can heat these up to 100 degrees
Concrete temp between 50 and 80 degrees

cylinder
AASHTO T23
Cylinders initial cure on site
Covered
Out of direct sunlight
Kept between 60 and 80 degrees
Following proper handling, curing, and transporting

procedures of the cylinders is critical.
It is important to understand that once the cylinder
has been cast anything that happens to that
cylinder will have a negative impact on
compressive strength.
Factors Affecting Compressive

Strength
W/C Ratio
Extent to which hydration has progressed
Curing and environmental conditions
Age of the concrete
Supplementary cementitious materials
Admixtures
Cast 3 cylinders
Randomly select 2 at 28 days
Compare the strengths
If the lower strength divided by the higher strength is 0.9 or
more, average the 2 QC cylinders.
If the lower strength divided by the higher strength is less than
0.9, break one additional cylinder and average the 2 higher
strength cylinders.
(1) If a sublot strength is less than 2500 psi, the department may direct the
contractor to core that sublot to determine its structural adequacy and whether
to direct removal. Cut and test cores according to AASHTO T 24 as and where
the engineer directs. Have an HTCP certified PCC technician I perform or
observe the coring.
(2) The sublot pavement is conforming if the compressive strengths of all cores
from the sublot are 2500 psi or greater or the engineer does not require coring.
(3) The sublot pavement is nonconforming if the compressive strengths of any
core from the sublot is less than 2500 psi. The department may direct removal
and replacement or otherwise determine the final disposition of nonconforming
material as specified in 106.5.
PWL Specification
Lower specification limit 3,700 psi
715.5.2 Pavements
(1) The department will adjust pay for each lot using equation QMP 3.01 as follows:
Percent within Limits (PWL)
Pay Adjustment (dollars per square yard)
95 to 100
(0.1 x PWL) - 9.5
85 to < 95
0
30 to < 85
(1.5/55 x PWL) - 127.5/55
< 30
-1.50
(2) The department will not pay incentive if the lot standard deviation is greater than 400
psi.

(9.5 mm) sieve by the weight of the total sample.
[2] The engineer may accept aggregates exceeding this value if aggregates from the same deposit or from one of
similar geological origin demonstrated a satisfactory service record, or tests the engineer select indicate no inferior
behavior. If using 2 sizes of coarse aggregates, the engineer will determine the percentages of harmful substances
based on one of the following: a sample consisting of 50 percent of size No. 1, and 50 percent of size No. 2; or a
sample consisting of the actual percent of size No. 1 and No. 2 used in the work.
(3) The engineer will not require the contractor to wash coarse aggregate produced within specified gradations, free
of coatings considered injurious, and conforming to the above limits for harmful substances.
Coarse Aggregate
501.2.5.4.3 Physical Properties
(1) The percent wear shall not exceed 50, the weighted soundness loss shall not
exceed 12 percent, and the weighted freeze-thaw average loss shall not exceed
18 percent.
(2) The department may prohibit using crushed stone from limestone/dolomite
deposits having thinly bedded strata, or strata of a shale nature; it may also
prohibit using aggregates from deposits or formations known to produce unsound
material.
(3) If all coarse aggregates used are produced from the same deposit or source,
ensure that testing for wear, sodium sulfate soundness, and soundness by
freezing and thawing uses a composite sample. This sample will contain equal
percentages of each component coarse aggregate used. If the component coarse
aggregates are produced from more than one deposit or source, ensure that
testing for wear, sodium sulfate soundness, and soundness by freezing and
thawing uses one sample from each deposit or source.
