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 concrete and concrete aggregates committee ( C09 ) is developing a proposed standard that will be used to help measure the tensile strength of fiber reinforced concrete. According to ASTM International member Luke Pinkerton, the use of fiber reinforcement as an alternative to conventional reinforcement of various concrete structures has been limited in the construction…, 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 #11599 ###

ASTM International’s performance of buildings committee ( E06 ) has developed a new test method for moisture in insulating glass. The test method introduced in this standard, currently known as WK83631 , will measure moisture ingress into insulating glass, and allow for predicting window lifetimes. Insulated glass is often used in residential and industrial locations to maintain heat and humidity…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Frank McConnell, tel +1.610.832.9686; fmcconnell@astm.org Release #11582 ###

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 ###

A new ASTM International standard will describe in detail the design and specification process for water vapor transmission properties of water-resistive barriers and air barriers(WRB/AB) in building construction. ASTM’s performance of buildings committee ( E06 ) developed the new standard, which will soon be published as E3127. ASTM International member Danko Davidovic says that the new standard…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Steve Mawn, tel +1.610.832.9726; smawn@astm.org Release #11441 ###

A proposed ASTM International standard will help engineers to better understand how various climates affect water vapor transmission of water-resistive barriers and air barriers (WRB/AB) in building envelopes. ASTM’s performance of buildings committee ( E06 ) is developing the proposed standard. ASTM International member Danko Davidovic says that the proposed standard ( WK51917 ) will explain…, Media Inquiries:, Jaime Martorana, tel +1.610.832.9796; jmartorana@astm.org , Committee Contact:, Stephen Mawn, tel +1.610.832.9726; smawn@astm.org Release #11213 ###

A new ASTM International standard will help architects who are designing mockup structures used to prepare for the construction of a new building. ASTM’s committee on performance of buildings ( E06 ) developed the standard, which will soon be approved as E3223. ASTM International member Eric Peterson notes that when new buildings are constructed, especially large complex buildings with intricate…, Media Inquiries:, Jaime Martorana, tel +1.610.832.9796; jmartorana@astm.org , Committee Contact:, Stephen Mawn, tel +1.610.832.9726; smawn@astm.org Release #11152 ###

A proposed standard will be used to support the periodic assessment of cavity wall facades. ASTM’s committee on the performance of buildings (E06) is developing the standard. In cavity wall facades, a grid of wall ties provides lateral restraint between the exterior veneer and the back-up wall. The proposed guide will support stability assessments of such facades. According to ASTM member Michael…
