ICC-ES AC87
Full Name
ICC-ES AC87 – Acceptance Criteria for Mortar Containing Admixtures
Scope
ICC-ES AC87 establishes the requirements for evaluating mortar products that contain admixtures, which are ingredients added to enhance specific properties of the mortar.
The scope of AC87 includes:
- Types of admixtures: it covers various types of admixtures used in mortar, such as air-entraining agents, water reducers, accelerators, retarders, and other specialty admixtures.
- Performance requirements: it outlines the performance requirements for mortar containing admixtures, including compressive strength, bond strength, air content, workability, and durability.
- Test methods: it specifies the test methods for evaluating the mortar properties with and without admixtures, under various conditions, such as different curing times and temperatures.
- Evaluation criteria: it provides the criteria for evaluating the test results and determining the suitability of the mortar containing admixtures for various construction applications.
Overall, ICC-ES AC87 serves as a comprehensive guideline for evaluating the performance and suitability of mortar products containing admixtures, ensuring their compliance with building codes and standards, and their effectiveness in various construction applications.
