โฆ Synopsis
An accelerated test method has been proposed for the detection of potential alkali-aggregate reactivities of aggregates. This consists of making 1:3 sand cement mortar prisms and placing the prisms in a saturated NaCl solution at 50ยฐC. Length change measurement with time reveals the potential alkali-aggregate reactivities of the aggregates.
