B. The available alkali,as sodium oxide equivalent,shall not exceed 1.5 percent when determined in conformance with <br /> the requirements in ASTM Designation: C 311 or the total alkali, as sodium oxide equivalent, shall not exceed <br /> 5.0 percent when determined in conformance with the requirements in AASHTO Designation: T 105. <br /> C. Commingling of fly ash from different sources at uncontrolled ratios is permissible only if the following criteria are <br /> satisfied: <br /> 1. Sources of fly ash to be commingled shall be on the approved list of materials for use in concrete. <br /> 2. Testing of the commingled product is the responsibility of the fly ash supplier. <br /> 3. Each fly ash's naming average of density shall not differ from any other by more than 0.25g/cm3 at the time of <br /> commingling. <br /> 4. Each fly ash's running average of loss on ignition shall not differ from any other by more than one percent at the <br /> time of commingling. <br /> 5. The final product of commingled fly ash shall conform to the requirement in AASHTO Designation: M 295. <br /> • Raw or calcined natural pozzolans shall conform to the requirements in AASHTO Designation: M 295,Class N and <br /> the following requirements: <br /> A. Calcium oxide content shall not exceed 10 percent. <br /> B. The available alkali,as sodium oxide equivalent,shall not exceed 1.5 percent when determined in conformance with <br /> the requirements in ASTM Designation: C 311 or the total alkali, as sodium oxide equivalent, shall not exceed <br /> 5.0 percent when determined in conformance with the requirements in AASHTO Designation: T 105. <br /> • Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBFS) shall conform to the requirements in AASHTO Designation: <br /> M 302,Grade 100 or Grade 120. <br /> • Silica Fume shall conform to the requirements of AASHTO Designation: M 307 with reduction in mortar expansion <br /> of 80 percent,minimum,using the cement from the proposed mix design. <br /> 90-2.01C REQUIRED USE OF SUPPLEMENTARY CEMENTITIOUS MATERIALS <br /> • The amount of portland cement and SCM used in portland cement concrete shall conform to the minimum <br /> cementitious material content provisions in Section 90-1.01, "Description," or Section 904.05, "Optional Use of Chemical <br /> Admixtures,"and the following: <br /> A. If a blended cement conforming to the provisions in Section 90-2.O1A, "Cement," is used,the minimum amount of <br /> SCM incorporated into the cement shall conform to the provisions in this Section 90-2.01C. <br /> B. Fly ash or natural pozzolan,silica fume,or GGBFS shall not be used with Type IP or Type IS cements. <br /> • Use of SCMs shall conform to the following: <br /> A. If fly ash or natural pozzolan is used: <br /> 1. The minimum amount of portland cement shall not be less than 75 percent by mass of the specified minimum <br /> cementitious material content. <br /> 2. The minimum amount of fly ash or natural pozzolan shall be: <br /> a. Fifteen percent by mass of the total amount of cementitious material if the calcium oxide content <br /> of fly ash or natural pozzolan is equal to or less than 2 percent by mass; <br /> b. Twenty-five percent by mass of the total amount of cementitious material if the calcium oxide <br /> content of fly ash or natural pozzolan is greater than 2 percent by mass. <br /> B. The total amount of fly ash or natural pozzolan shall not exceed 35 percent by mass of the total amount of <br /> cementitious material to be used in the mix. If Section 90-1.01, "Description," specifies a maximum cementitious <br /> material content in kilograms per cubic meter,the total mass of portland cement and fly ash or natural pozzolan per <br /> cubic meter shall not exceed the specified maximum cementitious material content. <br /> C. If silica fume is used: <br /> 1. The amount of silica fume shall not be less than 10 percent by mass of the total amount of cementitious <br /> material. <br /> 2. The amount of portland cement shall not be less than 75 percent by mass of the specified minimum <br /> cementitious material content. <br /> Contract No. 10-OM7104 <br /> 72 <br />
