ASTM International’s composite materials committee ( D30 ) is developed two proposed standards that will have direct practical applications for new-built infrastructure. Both proposed standards are relevant to alternative non-metallic materials that are applied to concrete structures for civil and infrastructure uses. “These proposed standards will help further implement non-metallic materials,…, Media Inquiries:, Gavin O’Reilly, tel +1.610.832.9618; goreilly@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Melissa Marcinowski, tel +1.610.832.9626; mmarcinowski@astm.org Release #11734 ###

ASTM International’s composite materials committee ( D30 ) has developed a new standard specification for the latest generation of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) bars. FRP bars are used as internal concrete reinforcement. According to ASTM International member Francisco De Caso, this new standard (D8505) is a milestone after several decades of collaboration to further integrate these composites…, Media Inquiries:, Gavin O’Reilly, tel +1.610.832.9618; goreilly@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Melissa Marcinowski, tel +1.610.832.9626; mmarcinowski@astm.org Release #11664 ###

ASTM’s dimension stone committee ( C18 ) is developing a proposed standard that will be used to test the resistance of natural stone to long-term freeze-thaw cycles found in colder climates. “Natural stone is widely variable in composition and can include granite, sandstone, marble, and limestone, among others,” says ASTM member Frank Strickland. “This means that the resistance of natural stone…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, David Lee, tel +1.610.832.9681; dlee@astm.org Release #11626 ###

ASTM International’s composite materials committee ( D30 ) is developing a proposed standard that will help define the test methods and specimens that should be used for bolted joint related properties. Many composite structures are assembled with mechanically fastened (“bolted”) joints. Structural analysis of these attachments requires a linked set of design properties that are generated by…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Melissa Marcinowski, tel +1.610.832.9626; mmarcinowski@astm.org Release #11569 ###

ASTM International’s dimension stone committee ( C18 ) is developing a proposed standard that will be used to test the resistance of natural stone to long-term freeze-thaw cycles. ASTM International member Frank Strickland notes that the de facto standard for testing freeze-thaw resistance for natural stone has been ASTM standard C666, which describes a pass-fail test for concrete. However, the…

ASTM International’s composite materials committee ( D30 ) is developing a proposed standard that will be used in the inspections of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite repairs to buildings and other civil structures. There are a number of overlapping standards and codes on FRP inspections. The proposed standard ( WK74694 ) will include the applicable current industry references, standards,…

A new standard developed by ASTM International’s dimension stone committee ( C18 ) provides the first quantitative field test for determining the shear bond strength of stone tile. According to ASTM member Donato Pompo, the new standard will allow for meaningful on-site assessment of shear bond strength. It can be applied to newly adhered stone installations for quality assurance testing or to…, Media Inquiries, : Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact, : David Lee, tel +1.610.832.9681; dlee@astm.org Release #11101 ###

A new standard from ASTM International’s coal and coke committee ( D05 ) covers the determination of the quality of flue gas desulfurization (FGD) solids that are products of processes used to remove sulfur dioxide from exhaust gasses at fossil-fuel power plants and waste incinerators. The new standard, soon to be published as D8339, covers the determination of free moisture, by-product gypsum…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org , Committee Contact:, Melissa Macinowski, tel +1.610.832.9626; mmarcinowski@astm.org Release #11077 ###
