ABSTRACT

This report contains a compendium of state-of-the-art methods to aid in the durability

testing of selected elements and materials used in the exterior envelope of buildings.

The purposes of the report are to identify currently available property measurement tests

and aging tests that can be used for durability testing and to identify the degradation

factors included in each aging test. The report will form the basis for selecting specific

elements and materials for inclusion in subsequent comprehensive durability studies.

These additional studies are needed because existing short-term methods are seldom fully

adequate for predicting long-term performance.

The sources of the methods include the American Society for Testing and Materials

(ASTM) , the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), building industry trade associations,

Federal Specifications and Federal Standards. Indications are made for each test method

to show if the methods described include a property measurement test, an aging test or both. If the method contains an aging test, the degradation factors included in the test are listed.

Key words: Aging test; building elements and materials; degradation factors; durability;

property measurement test; standard test methods.

1. INTRODUCTION

1 . 1 Purpose of Study

The term, durability, refers to the length of time a building element or material

performs its intended functions above the minimum acceptable levels. Estimates of durability

are needed, particularly for new or untried building elements and materials, to aid in the

proper choice for specific building applications.

Ideally, information on the effects of various degradation factors on the long-term

performance of building elements and materials would be based upon long-term service tests

of the actual system or material under many types of climatic conditions. However, such

tests would delay the use of new elements and materials to such an extent as to be impractical.

As an alternative, short-term tests to aid predictions of long-term performance, have

been developed for many building elements and materials. These tests include procedures

to accelerate the degradation (aging) processes, procedures to increase the sensitivity

(precision) of property measurement and procedures that combine accelerated aging and

increased property measurement sensitivity. Unfortunately, existing short-term tests are seldom fully adequate for predicting long-term performance. In particular, this is because

the degradation mechanisms are complex and seldom well understood so that it is difficult

to design the most meaningful tests. Also, the degradation factors affecting durability

are numerous and difficult to quantify. Thus, existing short-term tests seldom include

all the factors involved in actual use, and the factors that are included may not be

related quantitatively to exposure in-service. Because of the shortcomings of existing

tests, there is great need for improvement in the technology of durability testing of

building elements and materials.

The purposes of this report are to present a list of durability and related test

methods for selected elements and materials used in the exterior envelope of buildings and

to assess currently available aging tests in terms of the degradation factors included in

the tests. Subsequently, the test methods will be critically evaluated to help identify

specific elements or materials for which tests are needed.

1 . 2 Scope

As a first step in selecting the elements and materials to be included in the study,

a list of building subsystems, components and elements was prepared. A housing system was

first divided into five subsystems:

1. Exterior Envelope

2. Interior Space Dividers

3. Electrical Subsystem

4. Plumbing Subsystem

5. Heating/Cooling Subsystem.

It was then decided to select one subsystem for study so as to keep this stage of the

project to a reasonable size. The Exterior Envelope Subsystem was selected for this study

because of the extent of field problems in terms of frequency and cost that have occurred

in components and elements in this subsystem. The subsystem was then divided into the

components and elements of which it is comprised. Table 1 illustrates the division of the

Exterior Envelope Subsystem into components and elements.

The elements marked with asterisks in Table 1 were selected for inclusion in the

study because they are believed to present a greater magnitude of field problems than

other elements in the list.

1
The sources of test methods include the American Society for Testing and Materials

(ASTM) , the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), building industry trade associations,

Federal Specifications and Federal Standards.

Each test method included in the report is categorized to indicate if it includes a property measurement test, an aging test, or both. If the method is an aging test,' the

degradation factors are identified.

2. COMPILATION AND ANALYSIS OF TEST METHODS

2 . 1 Preparation of a List of Materials

After defining the building elements to be included in the study, a list of materials

that could be used to form each element was prepared. This list was then organized into a format analogous to that of the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) "Master Index

of Government Guide Specifications for Construction" (1)±/. Table 2 contains a list of

materials included in the study according to the CSI format. The DIVISION numbers and

headings used in this report are identical to those of the CSI Index. For example, DIVISION

3 refers to Concrete, and DIVISION 5 to Metals, etc. in both documents. The categories

within each DIVISION listed in Table 2 are not included in the CSI index but are included

in this report to simplify the finding of specific test methods.

2 . 2 Procedure for Identifying Test Methods

The initial step in identifying test methods for the materials (or elements) listed

in Table 2 was to search the Ind ex of U.S. Voluntary Engineering Standards (2). This

index contains references to more than 400 standards-setting organizations, including ASTM

and ANSI. The indexes of ASTM (3) and ANSI (4) were then searched as was the Index of

Federal Specifications and Standards (5). The ASTM Parts referred to for test methods

were the latest available and were dated either 1974 or 1975.

2.3 Procedure for Assessing Test Methods

After identifying test methods for each material (or element) listed in Table 2, each

method was reviewed and assessed in terms of content. The first step in assessing a method was to determine if it included a property measurement test, an aging test, or both. Both property measurement tests and aging tests are needed for durability testing

since durability testing consists of measuring the amount and rate of change of a property

as a result of the aging.

A property measurement test provides for the measurement of one or more properties of

a material or element. Examples are the measurement of color of paints, flexural strength

of concrete, water and air leakage of window units, peel strength of sealants and adhesives,

transparency of window glass or plastic and hardness of metals.

An aging test provides for a means of exposing specimens to factors that may cause their degradation. An aging test may be long-term, such as weathering test at an outdoor

exposure test site, or short-term such as an accelerated laboratory test. Examples of

aging tests are exposure of organic materials to simulated or natural sunlight, exposure

of metals to corrosive environments, exposure of adhesive bonds or sandwich panels to sustained or fatigue loading, exposure of concrete to freeze-thaw cycles, exposure of

flooring to abrasives and exposure of asphalt to heat.

The final step in assessing the test methods was to identify the factors included in

the aging tests to induce degradation. Degradation factors considered included 1) weathering

factors, 2) biological factors, 3) stress factors and 4) incompatibility factors. Table

3 liscs these factors. The factors are described further in Section 4.2.

1/ Numbers in parenthesis refer to references included in the list of References at the end

of this report

2
One additional degradation factor not included in the Table 3 list can be termed a "use" factor. Use factors reflect the design of the system in which the element or material is used and includes installation and maintenace procedures and abuse by the

user. Use factors were not included in the study because they are not typically included

in standard test methods.

3. DATA PRESENTATION

The Appendix to this report is composed of tables listing the test method data that were compiled during the study. It is organized according to the outline of Table 2.

3 . 1 Format of Appendix Tables ^

The top left corner of each sheet in the Appendix contains descriptive information

about the material or element for which test methods are being presented. This information

is identical to that outlined in Table 2.

Each table is divided into six columns. The first column is labeled "Source" and

identifies the publisher of the test method. Abbreviations are used to designate the test

method publishers. An alphabetical list of the abbreviations used and the names and

addresses of each organization are included in Table 4. The column labeled "Number",

includes the number identification of the test method as assigned by the source. For ASTM

test methods, the number of the (Part) (Volume) from which the method was taken is indicated

in parenthesis next to the method number. If a test methods is available from more than

one source, the alternative source(s) and the test method number(s) are listed in parenthesis

directly below the initial source and method number of the initial source. ANSI standards,

for example, are often identical to those of other standards-setting groups.

The third column contains the title of the test method and, in parenthesis, the last

date of issuance or revision of trade association methods, Federal Specifications and

Federal Standards. The fourth and fifth columns are used to indicate if the method is a property measurement test or an aging test. An "X" in these columns indicates that such a test is included either directly or by reference. Information sources which contains

neither a property measurement test nor an aging test are shown by blank spaces in these

columns. Such sources are included because they often provide useful information such as quality control and installation and handling procedures for building materials.

The last column includes a listing of d aging test of the method. These factors are remarks. The identification number of each

egradation factors that are included in the

indicated by number or by brief explanatory

degradation factor is included in Table 3.

3.2 Organization of Appendix Tables

The Appendix tables are first organized according to the outline of Table 2. The

categories under each DIVISION in Table 2 represent natural boundaries resulting from the

types of methods available for each.

The sources and the test methods are listed in alphabetical and numerical order under

each category in the following order:

1. ASTM methods (alternative sources of each method, such as ANSI, are listed

in parenthesis below the ASTM designation)

2. ANSI methods, which are not listed as being alternatives to ASTM or building

industry trade association methods.

3. Trade association methods (alternative sources of the methods, such as ANSI, are listed in parenthesis below the building industry trade association

designation)

3
4. Federal Specifications.

5. Federal Standards.

Since many of the ASTM and building industry trade association methods are subsequently

accepted as ANSI standards, ANSI standards are listed primarily as alternative sources.

The first category in each DIVISION, except DIVISIONS 5, 9 and 13, includes "General

Tests" for the material or element in the DIVISION title. For example, the first category

of DIVISION 3: CONCRETE IS "A. General Tests for Concrete". The first category of DIVISION

7: THERMAL and MOISTURE PROTECTION includes general tests for thermal and moisture protection.

(It also includes general tests for weathering of non-metallic materials) . The methods

listed in the "General Tests" category of a particular DIVISION are not listed in other

categories of that DIVISION or in the "General Tests" category of other DIVISIONS. Although

thermal and moisture protection information may be important for specific materials in

other DIVISIONS, such as metal roofing, tests for this property are included in the "General

Tests" of DIVISION 7 only.

The scope of many of the test methods in subsequent categories is such that the

methods apply to more than one category. For example, in DIVISION 7, Category B (Tests

for Roofing Materials), ASTM Method D 529 applies to "Built-Up" roofing as well as "Bituminous

Materials", "Asphalt Roll Roofing and Sheets" and "Bituminous/Felt Combination". It also

applies to "Asphalt Siding" in DIVISION 7, Category C (Tests for Wall Materials). Therefore,

D 529 is listed in each of these categories. Thus, if methods are directly applicable to more than one category, except the "General Tests" category, they are listed more than once

Methods in categories other than "General Tests", whose scope is such they may apply

to multiple categories are listed in the category in which they most directly apply and are referred to other categories by footnotes. For example, in DIVISION 6.2: PLASTICS,

one category is "Tests for Transparent and Translucent Plastics". Some of these tests may

be applicable for testing "Window Glazing" included in DIVISION 8: DOORS and WINDOWS,

Category C (Tests for Windows). Thus, a cross reference is included to refer the reader

to both categories.

4. USE OF THE APPENDIX TABLES

4.1 Finding Test Methods

The first step in finding test methods for specific materials or elements is to refer

to the table of contents at the beginning of the Appendix or to Table 2 which contains an outline of the DIVISIONS and categories included in the Appendix.

The major headings of the following DIVISIONS refer to specific materials or elements:

DIVISION 3: CONCRETE

DIVISION 4: MASONRY

DIVISION 5: METALS

DIVISION 6. 1: WOOD

DIVISION 6. 2: PLASTICS

DIVISION 8: DOORS AND WINDOWS.
The major headings of two other DIVISIONS refer to the function of materials or elements

rather than to specific materials. These are:

DIVISION 7: THERMAL AND MOISTURE PROTECTION

DIVISION 9: FINISHES.

DIVISION 13: SPECIAL CONSTRUCTION is a unique listing in regard to other DIVISIONS. This

DIVISION is used in this report to include tests for sandwich constructions and for adhesives

The second step in finding test methods is to locate the DIVISION which most closely

fits the material or element of interest. Then, the search can be narrowed to the "General

Tests" category or other more specific categories that describe the type of application

for which the material or element is used. Cross referencing is included in tables,

except for the "General Tests" categories to aid referral from one category to another.

4 . 2 Interpreting the Data for Test Methods

As mentioned previously, each test method listed in the Appendix tables has been

assessed for type of test (property measurement test or aging test) and for the degradation

factors included in the aging test. Definitions and examples of property measurement

tests and aging tests were presented in Section 2.3 of this report. A brief description

of these tests will be provided in this section as well as a brief description of the

degradation factors listed in Table 3.

A check in the "Aging Test" column of the tables indicates that a test for exposing

the material or element to one or more degradation factors is either described or referenced

in the method. An aging test is intended for use with a property measurement test in

determining the change of one or more properties of a material or element as a result of

exposure to degradation factors. To actually measure the properties before and after

aging, a property measurement test is needed. Durability tests, then are comprised of

both property measurement tests and aging tests. A check in the "Property Measurement

Test" column indicates that a test for measuring one or more properties of the material or element is either included or referenced in the method.

Degradation factors 1 through 8 which are listed in Table 3, are termed Weathering

Factors. The numbers 1, 2, and 3 appearing in the last column of the Appendix tables indicate

the aging test contains a combination of exposure to solar radiation, temperature and water.

Such a designation often refers to a test consisting of exposure simulated solar radiation,

elevated temperature as a result of the arc, and periodic water spray. Factor 2 includes

elevated, depressed or cyclic temperature exposure while factor 3, Water, includes solid,

liquid, and vapor forms of water. Degradation factor number 4, Freeze-Thaw, is often used

for porous materials and includes wetting. The only tests found for the effect of Normal

Air Constituents, factor 5, were oxygen exposure tests such as the oxygen bomb for rubber

and rubber products. Factor 6, Air Contaminants, includes tests for factors such as salt

spray, ozone, sulphur compounds and nitrogen oxides. Natural Exposure, factor 8, refers to tests in which materials or elements are exposed to natural weathering, usually at exposure

test sites. The other Weathering Factors included in this factor depend upon the location of

the exposure site and the time of the year specimens are exposed.

Factors 9 and 10 are termed Biological Factors and include tests for degradation by

fungi and bacteria.

Stress factors include sustained stress and periodic stress. Aging tests for sustained

stress include applied sustained loads such as those in creep tests. Periodic stress, number

12, includes any applied stress that occurs periodically. For example, fatigue testing of

adhesive bonds can be an aging test to determine the effect of periodic stress. Abrasive

wear on flooring materials, abrasion from wind blown sand and impact from hail are other

examples of this factor. Tests that are designed to exposure materials or elements to these

types of stresses are labeled aging tests.

5
Factors 13 and 14 reflect chemical and physical incompatibility factors. An example

of chemical incompatibility is accelerated corrosion caused by contact between two dissimilar

metals, while an example of physical incompatibility is stress caused by a rigid connection

between two adjoining materials whose thermal expansion coefficients are different. These

factors are important because in practice, materials and elements are joined together with

other materials and elements to form a system. Adjoining materials and elements must be

chemically and physically compatible for the final product to be durable. The Appendix

tables indicate the existence of a test for these factors only in cases where the method

specifies such a test. The reader should note that some methods inherently include a type

of incompatibility test because of the test specimen design. For example, one widely used

specimen for joint sealant tests includes both sealant and substrate. Exposure tests

performed on such a specimen may provide information regarding the compatibility of the

sealant and the substrate even though the test description does not mention this factor.

5. CONCLUSIONS

Hundreds of test methods have been identified in this report as being available as standards to aid durability predictions of elements and materials used in the exterior en- velope of building systems. The large number of available methods may lead to the erroneous conclusion that existing methods are adequate to fulfill the need for durability testing.

Actually, very few existing short-term test methods are fully adequate for reliably predicting long-term performance. Because of the shortcomings of existing tests, there is great

need for improvement in the technology of durability testing of building elements and

materials.

The first step in fulfilling this need is to critically evaluate the test methods

identified in this report to estimate their usefulness for durability testing. Such an evaluation would first consist of identifying the degradation factors that are of primary

importance for each element or material, depending upon their use, and determining if

methods are available for evaluating the effect of these factors. If methods are not

available to test for all factors of importance, obvious needs will be identified. Methods

that are available for factors of importance should then be judged, if possible, in terms

of whether or not they yield results that can be related to long-term performance.

Based on such an analysis of the existing methods, elements and materials for which

durability tests are most urgently needed could be identified. This information would

then form the basis for commencing laboratory based studies to improve the existing technology.

15. SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES

16. ABSTRACT (A 200-word or less (actual summary oi most significant information. If document includes a significant

bibliography or literature survey, mention it here.) This report contains a compendium of state-of-the-art methods to aid in the durability

testing of selected elements and materials used in the exterior envelope of buildings.

The purposes of the report are to identify currently available property measurement

tests and aging tests that can be used for durability testing and to identify the degradation factors included in each aging test. The report will form the basis for

selecting specific elements and materials for inclusion in subsequent comprehensive

durability studies. These additional studies are needed because existing short-term

methods are seldom fully adequate for predicting long-term performance.

The sources of the methods include the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)

,

the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), building industry trade associations,

Federal Specifications and Federal Standards. Indications are made for each test method

to show if the methods described include a property measurement test, an aging test or both. If the method contains an aging test, the degradation factors included in the

test are listed.

17. KEY WORDS (six to twelve entries; alphabetical order; capitalize only the first letter of the first key word unless a proper name; separated by semicolons

)

Aging test; building elements and materials; degradation factors; durability;

property measurement test; standard test methods.
