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 security systems and equipment committee ( F12 ) has developed and approved several standards designed to assess the performance of security screening technologies. These standards cover three different types of metal detectors: hand-worn ( F3020 ), hand-held ( F3278 ), and walk-through ( F3566 ). The committee also approved a practice for conformity assessment of metal…, Verification Program Contact, : Anna Seiple, tel +1.703.930.0971; aseiple@seinet.org Release #11650 ###

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 committee on building and environmental acoustics ( E33 ) is developing a new standard guide for estimating the accuracy of acoustic test methods through interlaboratory studies (ILS). These acoustic test methods are used to measure acoustical performance of products like doors, windows, and wall systems, to compare amongst them and to develop new products. This new standard…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Kelly Paul, tel +1.610.832.9666; kpaul@astm.org Release #11498 ###

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 standard developed by ASTM International’s building and environmental acoustics committee ( E33 ) establishes an evaluation metric for low-frequency impact noise. Specifically, it allows for evaluation of thudding from footfalls in buildings. The standard ( E3207 ) provides designers a new evaluation tool for assessing thudding in buildings from heavy footfalls. When used in conjunction…, Media Inquiries:, Jaime Martorana, tel +1.610.832.9796; jmartorana@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Kelly Paul, tel +1.610.832.9745; kpaul@astm.org Release #11270 ###
