ASTM C936
Full Name
ASTM C936 – Standard Specification for Solid Concrete Interlocking Paving Units
Scope
ASTM C936 outlines the material, physical, and manufacturing requirements for solid concrete interlocking paving units intended for use in paved surfaces. It covers units made from both lightweight and normal weight aggregates.
Key aspects of the scope include:
- Material requirements: specifies the types of cementitious materials, aggregates, and admixtures allowed in the production of the units.
- Physical requirements: establishes minimum compressive strength, maximum absorption, abrasion resistance, and freeze-thaw resistance requirements for the units.
- Manufacturing requirements: addresses dimensional tolerances and surface texture of the units.
- Testing and sampling: provides guidelines for sampling and testing procedures to verify compliance with the specification.
- Acceptance and rejection: outlines the criteria for acceptance or rejection of a lot of units based on test results.
ASTM C936 does not cover the design of paved surfaces or the installation of the units. It focuses solely on the quality and performance of the interlocking concrete paving units themselves.
