ASTM C1319
Full Name
ASTM C1319 – Standard Specification for Concrete Grid Paving Units
Scope
ASTM C1319 covers the requirements for concrete grid paving units used in various applications such as vehicular trafficways, parking areas, soil stabilization, and revetments. The specification outlines the essential properties and characteristics that these units must possess to ensure their suitability for the intended uses.
Specifically, the scope of ASTM C1319 includes:
- Material requirements: the standard specifies the type and quality of materials that can be used to manufacture concrete grid paving units, including cement, aggregates, water, and admixtures.
- Physical requirements: the standard defines the minimum acceptable values for various physical properties of the units, such as compressive strength, absorption, density, and dimensional tolerances.
- Permissible variations in dimensions: it establishes the allowable tolerances for variations in the dimensions of the units, ensuring consistency and proper fit during installation.
- Sampling and testing: the standard provides guidelines for sampling and testing procedures to verify that the units meet the specified requirements.
- Visual inspection: it outlines the criteria for visual inspection of the units to identify any defects that may affect their performance or appearance.
- Compliance: the standard specifies the conditions under which the units are considered compliant with the requirements of the specification.
It’s important to note that ASTM C1319 primarily focuses on the technical aspects of the concrete grid paving units and does not cover other aspects like design considerations, installation procedures, or maintenance practices.
