It has been shown that expansion of mortar prisms, due to alkali-silica reaction, can be quantitatively related to their environment, i.e. alkali ion concentration and temperature by an equation of the type The physical significance of negative signs of dl/dC and dl/dT terms have been discussed. Th

From an extensive petrographic investigation of concrete samples suffering from alkali-silica reaction, it has been hypothesized that a deliberately introduced air-bubble system will reduce expansion due to alkali-silica reaction. The above hypothesis has been tested using mortar bars made from 35 s
We would like to thank Dr. Chatterji for his interesting and detailed comments on our paper. We agree with Dr. Chatterji that our thinking owes a great deal to the pioneering work of Powers and Steinour though our new data has led us to propose what we feel are significant changes to the original hy
The authors quote us (I) as saying the fume we examined was an effective pozzolan; they then suggest on the basis of their x-ray diffraction results that the presence or absence of calcium hydroxide in their mixtures showed the fumes they examined to have low pozzolanic activity.
