ASTM International’s concrete and concrete aggregates committee ( C09 ) is developing a proposed standard ( WK73384 ) that will evaluate the tensile performance of fiber-reinforced concrete using cylindrical specimens with double-punch loading. The proposed standard contains “pre- and post-peak tensile properties (that) hold great significance in fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) and ultra-high-…, Media Inquiries:, Gavin O’Reilly, tel +1.610.832.9618; goreilly@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Scott Orthey, tel +1.610.832.9730; sorthey@astm.org Release #11676 ###

ASTM International’s concrete and concrete aggregates committee ( C09 ) is developing a proposed standard specification for a broad range of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs). According to ASTM International member Larry Sutter, this performance specification ( WK70466 ) will ease the adoption of new materials used for SCMs as established sources become less available. “For a variety of…, Media Inquiries:, Gavin O’Reilly, tel +1.610.832.9618; goreilly@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Scott Orthey, tel +1.610.832.9730; sorthey@astm.org Release #11659 ###

ASTM International’s road and paving materials committee ( D04 ) has approved a new standard that will allow those in the road construction industry to extend the service life of asphalt mixtures by more accurately predicting and evaluating fatigue performance. According to ASTM member M. Emin Kutay, the new standard ( D8458 ) will be used to assess the resistance of different types of asphalt…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Asley Wiand, tel +1.610.832.9551; awiand@astm.org Release #11610 ###

ASTM International’s concrete and concrete aggregates committee ( C09 ) is developing a new standard for economical testing of concrete strength. The proposed standard, WK82351 , will provide a fast, simple, non-destructive method for testing concrete strength that can be performed almost anywhere. According to ASTM International member Neil Cox this method, which measures the dominant resonant…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Scott Orthey, tel +1.610.832.9730; sorthey@astm.org Release #11488 ###

ASTM International announced today the Journal of Testing and Evaluation, the organization’s flagship journal, received an increased 2021 impact factor rating of 1.333, up 5.5% from the previous year. The impact factor is calculated each year by Clarivate Analytics and given to journals that appear in their database, Science Citation Index. Launched in 1973, the journal is a multi-disciplinary…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org Release #11472 ###

ASTM International’s geosynthetics committee ( D35 ) has approved a new standard that will help engineers, designers, and specifiers who work with vinyl sheet piling. Applications for such piling include the construction of seawalls, retaining walls, and chemical cut-off walls. “The new specification will standardize the materials used and it will allow producers to meet the United States Army…

ASTM International’s geosynthetics committee ( D35 ) is developing a proposed standard that covers vinyl sheet piling used in marine and geotechnical fields for seawalls, retaining walls, flood walls, erosion control, and pollution cut-off. According to ASTM member Steve Hargrave, the proposed standard ( WK75165 ) will fill the need for a specification for vinyl sheet piling used for structural…, Media Inquiries:, Jaime Martorana, tel +1.610.832.9796; jmartorana@astm.org , Committee Contact:, Travis Murdock, tel +1.610.832.9826; tmurdock@astm.org Release #11185 ###

A new standard developed by ASTM International’s road and paving materials committee ( D04 ) provides guidance on both blast and steel furnace slag product classification. ASTM defines iron and steel slags as the nonmetallic products of the manufacturing of iron and steel. They can be considered products based on the mineralogy of samples that are tested using this standard as a guide. “The…, Media Inquiries:, Jaime Martorana, tel +1.610.832.9796; jmartorana@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Ashley Wiand, tel +1.610.832.9551; awiand@astm.org Release #11129 ###
