Historical Standard: Standard Test Method for Compressive Strength of Masonry Prisms
ASTM C1314
Scope
1.1 This test method covers procedures for masonry prism construction and testing, and procedures for determining the compressive strength of masonry, fmt, used to determine compliance with the specified compressive strength of masonry, fāā²m. When this test method is used for research purposes, the construction and test procedures within serve as a guideline and provide control parameters.
1.2 This test method also covers procedures for determining the compressive strength of prisms obtained from field-removed masonry specimens.
1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
