Designation:C1116/C1116M10a(Reapproved 2015)Standard Specification forFiber-Reinforced Concrete1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C1116/C1116M;the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This specification covers all forms of fiber-reinforcedconcrete that are delivered to a purchaser with the ingredientsuniformly mixed,and that can be sampled and tested at thepoint of delivery.It does not cover the placement,consolidation,curing,or protection of the fiber-reinforcedconcrete after delivery to the purchaser.1.2 Certain sections of this specification are also applicableto fiber-reinforced concrete intended for shotcreting by thedry-mix process when sampling and testing of concrete ispossible only at the point of placement.In this case,thesections dealing with batching plant,mixing equipment,mix-ing and delivery,and measurement of workability and aircontent,are not applicable.1.3 This specification does not cover thin-section glassfiber-reinforced concrete manufactured by the spray-up processthat is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Subcommittee C27.40.1.4 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard.The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents;therefore,eachsystem shall be used independently of the other.Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.5 The following precautionary statement pertains only tothe test method portion,Sections 15 and 18,of this specifica-tion:This standard does not purport to address all of the safetyconcerns,if any,associated with its use.It is the responsibilityof the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety andhealth practices and determine the applicability of regulatorylimitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2A820/A820M Specification for Steel Fibers for Fiber-Reinforced ConcreteC31/C31M Practice for Making and Curing Concrete TestSpecimens in the FieldC39/C39M Test Method for Compressive Strength of Cylin-drical Concrete SpecimensC42/C42M Test Method for Obtaining and Testing DrilledCores and Sawed Beams of ConcreteC94/C94M Specification for Ready-Mixed ConcreteC125 Terminology Relating to Concrete and Concrete Ag-gregatesC138/C138M Test Method for Density(Unit Weight),Yield,and Air Content(Gravimetric)of ConcreteC143/C143M Test Method for Slump of Hydraulic-CementConcreteC150 Specification for Portland CementC172 Practice for Sampling Freshly Mixed ConcreteC173/C173M Test Method forAir Content of Freshly MixedConcrete by the Volumetric MethodC192/C192M Practice for Making and Curing Concrete TestSpecimens in the LaboratoryC231 Test Method for Air Content of Freshly Mixed Con-crete by the Pressure MethodC387 Specification for Packaged,Dry,Combined Materialsfor Mortar and ConcreteC567 Test Method for Determining Density of StructuralLightweight ConcreteC666/C666M Test Method for Resistance of Concrete toRapid Freezing and ThawingC684 Test Method for Making,Accelerated Curing,andTesting Concrete Compression Test Specimens(With-drawn 2012)3C685/C685M Specification for Concrete Made by Volumet-ric Batching and Continuous MixingC1077 Practice for Agencies Testing Concrete and ConcreteAggregates for Use in Construction and Criteria forTesting Agency EvaluationC1140 Practice for Preparing and Testing Specimens fromShotcrete Test PanelsC1385/C1385M Practice for Sampling Materials for Shot-crete1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee C09 onConcrete and Concrete Aggregates and is the direct responsibility of SubcommitteeC09.42 on Fiber-Reinforced Concrete.Current edition approved April 1,2015.Published May 2015.Originallyapproved in 1989.Last previous edition approved in 2010 as C1116/C1116M10a.DOI:10.1520/C1116_C1116M-10AR15.2For 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.3The last approved version of this historical standard is referenced onwww.astm.org.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 C1399 Test Method for Obtaining Average Residual-Strength of Fiber-Reinforced ConcreteC1436 Specification for Materials for ShotcreteC1480 Specification for Packaged,Pre-Blended,Dry,Com-bined Materials for Use in Wet or Dry Shotcrete Applica-tionC1550 Test Method for Flexural Toughness of Fiber Rein-forced Concrete(Using Centrally Loaded Round Panel)C1602/C1602M Specification for Mixing Water Used in theProduction of Hydraulic Cement ConcreteC1604/C1604M Test Method for Obtaining and TestingDrilled Cores of
