Castle Sand Company 2832 Fairway Forest Circle Salem, VA 24153

Attention: Mr. Robert Lindsey (robertlindsey@castlesands.com )

Subject: Castle Sand Laboratory Testing

Dear Mr. Lindsey, As requested, Froehling & Robertson, Inc. (F&R) is providing laboratory testing services for the above referenced project. The purpose of this letter is to summarize our laboratory results for two samples of Castle Sand that was provided to our laboratory by Castle Sand Company. The two samples were identified as “Natural Sand”, and “Fine Screened Natural Sand”. The tests performed on both samples included a particle size gradation (ASTM C136), and specific gravity and absorption (ASTM C128).

The same set of tests was performed by F&R Roanoke in 2008 on two samples of Natural Sand. In addition, an ASTM C270 mortar mix design was also performed on this sand. Castle Sand Company has requested that we comment on the applicability of the 2008 mix design to the present sample of Natural Sand, based upon a comparison of the 2008 and the present laboratory results for particle size gradation (ASTM C136) and specific gravity and absorption (ASTM C128).

A tabular comparison of the results from 2008 and present is provided as an attachment to this letter.

The gradations and material properties for the 2008 and 2011 samples of Natural Sand are reasonably similar. It is, therefore, our opinion that the present sample of Natural Sand, when utilized in a masonry mortar mix that utilizes proportions in accordance with the 2008 mix design, is expected to provide an ASTM C270-compliant mortar. We recommend that the mortar be tested in accordance with ASTM C780 prior its utilization in construction in order to confirm the conformance of material properties to project needs and code requirements.

We appreciate the opportunity to be of service to you. If you have any questions concerning this report please do not hesitate to contact us.

Sincerely yours, FROEHLING & ROBERTSON, INC.

® Construction Research & Technology GMBH

© BASF Construction Chemicals, LLC 2007 n Printed in USA n 03/07 n LIT # 1016972

Description GLENIUM® 7500 high-range water-reducing admixture is based on the next generation of polycarboxylate technology found in all of the Glenium 7000 series products. This technology combines state-of-the-art molecular engineering with a precise understanding of regional cements to provide specific and exceptional value to all phases of the concrete construction process.

GLENIUM 7500 admixture is very effective in producing concrete mixtures with different levels of workability including applications that require self-consolidating concrete (SCC). The use of GLENIUM 7500 admixture results in faster setting characteristics as well as improved early age compressive strength.

GLENIUM 7500 admixture meets ASTM C 494/C 494M compliance requirements for Type A, water-reducing, and Type F, high-range water-reducing, admixtures.

Applications Recommended for use in:

n Concrete with varying water reduction requirements (5-40%) n Concrete where control of workability and setting time is critical n Concrete where high flowability, increased stability, high early and ultimate strengths, and improved durability are needed n Production of Rheodynamic® Self- Consolidating Concrete (SCC) mixtures n 4x4™ Concrete for fast-track construction n Pervious Concrete mixtures

GLENIUM® 7500

High-Range Water-Reducing Admixture

Features n Excellent early strength development n Controls setting characteristics n Optimizes slump retention/setting relationship n Consistent air entrainment n Dosage flexibility

Benefits n Faster turnover of forms due to accelerated early strength development n Reduces finishing labor costs due to optimized set times n Use in fast track construction n Minimizes the need for slump adjustments at the jobsite n Less jobsite QC support required n Fewer rejected loads n Optimizes concrete mixture costs

Performance Characteristics Concrete produced with GLENIUM 7500 admixture achieves significantly higher early age strength than first generation polycarboxylate high-range water-reducing admixtures. GLENIUM 7500 admixture also strikes the perfect balance between workability retention and setting characteristics in order to provide efficiency in placing and finishing concrete.

Guidelines for Use Dosage: GLENIUM 7500 admixture has a recommended dosage range of 2-15 fl oz/cwt (130-975 mL/100 kg) of cementitious materials. For most applications, dosages in the range of 5-8 fl oz/cwt (325-520 mL/100 kg) will provide excellent performance. For high performance and Rheodynamic Self-Consolidating Concrete mixtures, dosages of up to 12 fl oz/cwt (780 mL/100 kg) of cementitious materials can be utilized. Because of variations in concrete materials, jobsite conditions and/or applications, dosages outside of the recommended range may be required. In such cases, contact your local BASF Construction Chemicals representative.

Mixing: GLENIUM 7500 admixture can be added with the initial batch water or as a delayed addition. However, optimum water reduction is generally obtained with a delayed addition.

Product Data 03 30 00 Cast-in-Place Concrete 03 40 00 Precast Concrete 03 70 00 Mass Concrete 04 05 16 Masonry Grouting

Product Notes Corrosivity – Non-Chloride, Non-Corrosive: GLENIUM 7500 admixture will neither initiate nor promote corrosion of reinforcing steel embedded in concrete, prestressing steel or of galvanized steel floor and roof systems. Neither calcium chloride nor other chloride-based ingredients are used in the manufacture of GLENIUM 7500 admixture.

Compatibility: GLENIUM 7500 admixture is compatible with most admixtures used in the production of quality concrete, including normal, mid-range and high-range water-reducing admixtures, air-entrainers, accelerators, retarders, extended set control admixtures, corrosion inhibitors, and shrinkage reducers.

Do not use GLENIUM 7500 admixture with admixtures containing beta-naphthalene sulfonate. Erratic behaviors in slump, workability retention and pumpability may be experienced.

Storage and Handling Storage Temperature: GLENIUM 7500 admixture must be stored at temperatures above 40 °F (5 °C). If GLENIUM 7500 admixture freezes, thaw and reconstitute by mechanical agitation.

Shelf Life: GLENIUM 7500 admixture has a minimum shelf life of 6 months. Depending on storage conditions, the shelf life may be greater than stated. Please contact your BASF Construction Chemicals representative regarding suitability for use and dosage recommendations if the shelf life of GLENIUM 7500 admixture has been exceeded.

Packaging GLENIUM 7500 admixture is supplied in 55 gal (208 L) drums, 275 gal (1040 L) totes and by bulk delivery.

Benefits n Improved workability n Reduced segregation n Superior finishing characteristics for flatwork and cast surfaces n Flexibility in scheduling of placing and finishing operations n Offsets effects of early stiffening during extended delays between mixing and placing n Helps eliminate cold joints

PerformanceCharacteristics
Rate of Hardening:Thetemperatureoftheconcretemixtureandtheambient

temperature (forms, earth, reinforcement, air, etc.) affect the hardening rate of concrete.

At higher temperatures, concrete stiffens more rapidly which may cause problems with placing and finishing. Pozzolith 100 XR admixture retards the set of concrete. Within

fl oz/cwt (0.65 – 2.9 L/100 kg) of cementitious materials for most concrete mixtures using average concrete ingredients. Because of variations in job conditions and concrete materials, dosage rates other than the recommended amounts may be required. In such cases, contact your BASF Construction Chemicals representative.

The maximum dosage of Pozzolith NC 534 in potable water applications that require the use of NSF Certified products is 30 fl oz/cwt (2.0 L/kg) of cementitious materials. For specialty concrete mixtures such as 4x4™ Concrete, dosages up to 100 fl oz/cwt (6.5 L/100 kg) may be required.
