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

β¦ Synopsis
The effect of LiNOz on the expansion of mortars made completely of reactive aggregate with five particle size fractions was investigated by means of an autoclave test. The results show that the effect of LiNOz varies with its content and NazO level, or more specifically, with the molar ratio of Li/Na in mortars. When the ratio reaches 0.8 at higher NazO level (greater than 2% in this study), ASR expansion is substantially suppressed and the ratio below or beyond this value will give different results. For the other cases of lower NazO levels the results are distinguished from this and the best Li/Na molar ratios of 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5 corresponding to the NazO levels of 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5%, respectively, are recommended.

Recently a method for the detection of alkali-silica reactivity of sand has been proposed. In this method sand is digested in a mixture of Ca(OH)2 and saturated KCl for 24 hours. The OH ion concentration is determined by titration. The OH ion concentration for a control mixture without sand is deter
Mortar bars containing a commercial accelerator and using opal as reactive component have been measured for expansion due to alkali silica reaction up to a total age of 18 months. Ultimate expansion for bars containing 2% opal plus accelerator reached 2.18% -61% greater than the control bars (withou
