Designation:D813917Standard Specification forSemi-Rigid,Closed-Cell Polypropylene Foam,PreformedExpansion Joint Fillers for Concrete Paving and StructuralConstruction1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D8139;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This specification covers preformed expansion jointfillers made from closed-cell polypropylene foam materialshaving suitable compressibility,recovery from compression,nonextruding,and weather-resistant characteristics.1.1.1 Type I,closed-cell polypropylene foam.1.2 These joint fillers are intended for use in concretepavements in full-depth joints.There are several variations insize with typical thicknesses of12in.(12.7 mm),34in.(19.05 mm),and 1 in.(25.4 mm);typical widths of 312in.(88.9 mm),4 in.(101.6 mm),5 in.(127 mm),6 in.(152.5 mm),7 in.(177.8 mm),8 in.(203.2 mm),or 48 in.(1.2 m)sheet;and typical lengths of 5 ft(1.52 m)and 10 ft(3.05 m).1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas the standard.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety,health,and environmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.5 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recom-mendations issued by the World Trade Organization TechnicalBarriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2C666/C666M Test Method for Resistance of Concrete toRapid Freezing and ThawingD545 Test Methods for Preformed Expansion Joint Fillersfor Concrete Construction(Nonextruding and ResilientTypes)D1623 Test Method for Tensile and Tensile Adhesion Prop-erties of Rigid Cellular PlasticsD4329 Practice for Fluorescent Ultraviolet(UV)Lamp Ap-paratus Exposure of PlasticsD5249 Specification for Backer Material for Use with Cold-and Hot-Applied Joint Sealants in Portland-Cement Con-crete and Asphalt Joints3.Materials and Manufacture3.1 Type I,Closed-Cell Polypropylene FoamThese fillersshall be made from extruded foam polypropylene,and theirpreformed cross section shall be closed-cell.4.Physical Properties4.1 Compressive StrengthThe load required to compressthe test specimen to 50%of its original thickness before testshall not be less than 30 psi nor greater than 60 psi.4.2 RecoveryAfter compressing the test specimen to 50%of its original thickness before test,the load shall be released;and 10 min after release of the load,the specimen shall haverecovered to at least 80%of its thickness before test.4.3 ExtrusionWhen a12-in.(12.7-mm)thick test speci-men is compressed to 50%of its original thickness with threeof its edges restrained,the free edge shall extrude not morethan 0.1 in.(2.54 mm).4.4 DensityThe density of air-dried filler material shallnot be less than 3.5 lb ft3(56.06 kg m3).4.5 Water AbsorptionThe standard expansion joint fillertest specimen with four square-cut edges,when submergedhorizontally under 1 in.(25.4 mm)water at 70 6 5 F(21.1 63 C),shall absorb not more than 1%volume%in 24 h fornominal thickness of12in.(12.7 mm).4.6 Heat ResistanceThe material shall display no observ-able shrinkage or disintegration when tested per SpecificationD5249.1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D04 on Roadand Paving Materials and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D04.34 onPreformed Joint Fillers,Sealers and Sealing Systems.Current edition approved Oct.1,2017.Published October 2017.Originallyapproved in 2017.DOI:10.1520/D8139-17.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United StatesThis international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.1 4.7 Freeze Thaw ResistanceThe material shall display novisual change when tested per Test Method C666/C666M andless than 10%change in tensile strength when tested per TestMethod D1623 after 300 cycles.4.8 UV WeatheringThe material shall display no observ-able change or cracks when tested per Practice D4329,1000 h,Cycle A.5.Dimensions,Mass,and P
