Standards
This standard establishes the basic principles for carrying out vibration measurement and processing data, with regard to evaluating vibration effects on buildings. The evaluations of the effects of building vibration are primarily directed at structural response, and include appropriate analytical methods where the frequency, duration and amplitude can be defined. It only deals with the measurement of structural vibration and excludes the measurement of airborne sound pressure and other pressure fluctuations.
This standard defines working positions and makes it possible to locate welds in space with reference to the horizontal reference plane (usually parallel to the workshop floor) by means of angles of slope and rotation which are independent from surrounding construction.
This document specifies the general requirements and tests for safety devices for fuel gases and oxygen or compressed air which do not incorporate a flame (flashback) arrestor used downstream of manifold, cylinder and/or pipeline outlet regulators, and upstream of blowpipes for welding, cutting and allied processes. This document does not specify the location of these devices in the gas system. This document is not applicable to safety devices which incorporate a flame arrestor, covered by ISO 5175-1.
This standard gives recommendations on the serviceability of buildings against vibrations. It covers three recipients of vibrations: a) human occupancy in buildings and on pedestrian bridges; b) the contents of the building; c) the structure of the building. It applies to buildings, pedestrian bridges and walkways found within buildings or connecting them and does not include bridges that carry vehicular traffic, nor the design of foundations or supporting structures of machinery.
Within the general scope defined in Section I, ANSI/ASME B30.17 applies to overhead and gantry cranse with a top running bridge, of single-girder construction, utilizing one or more underhung hoists (see ANSI B30.16) operating on the bottom flange of the bridge girder. This Standard includes both power-driven and hand-operated equipment.
This standard specifies performance requirements for hollow load-bearing concrete masonry units made from Portland cement, water and mineral aggregates with or without the inclusion of other materials. It covers three weight classifications of the concrete masonry units: (a) normal weight; (b) medium weight; and (c) lightweight.
This specification covers hollow and solid (see 5.3 and 5.4) concrete masonry units made from hydraulic cement, water, and mineral aggregates with or without the inclusion of other materials. There are three classes of concrete masonry units: Normal Weight, Medium Weight, and Lightweight. These units are suitable for both load bearing and non-load bearing applications. This standard covers hollow blocks from sizes of 3in. (76.2mm) to 8 in. (203.2mm).
Concrete masonry units covered by this specification are made from lightweight or normal weight aggregates, or both.
This standard specifies requirements for hollow non-load-bearing concrete masonry units made from portland cement, water and mineral aggregates with or without the inclusion of other materials. It covers three weight classifications of the concrete masonry units: (a) Normal weight; (b) Medium weight; and (c) Light weight. It also covers the sampling and testing of hollow non-load-bearing concrete masonry units for compressive strength, absorption, weight, moisture content and dimensions. It does not cover blocks intended solely for decorative purposes.
This standard specifies the conditions under which ready-mixed concrete shall be made and delivered, and the methods by which the purchaser can specify with his enquiry or order, the properties of the concrete required. It provides a specification for the production and supply of ready-mixed concrete. Methods of specifying ready-mixed concrete for nominal mixes, specified strength mixes and mixes for special purposes, to meet the requirements of standard codes of practice, are covered. It also gives guidance on the data to be provided by the purchaser when ordering ready-mixed concrete, the inspection facilities to be provided by the supplier and the appropriate tests. Routine tests which must be carried out by the supplier and those which are the responsibilities of the purchaser are also included. This standard does not cover the placing, compaction, curing or protection of the concrete after delivery, nor does it apply to materials for lean concrete or similar road care materials.
