✦ Synopsis


The reaction product formed within reaction rims of siltstone and sandstone aggregates in the concrete of a dam built in Australia about 30 years ago has been re-examined.

X-ray diffraction, thermal and chemical data show that the reaction product is okenite (Ca0.2Si09.2H20) and/or its precursor (4H20) in which some Ca is replaced 5y K and Na. When the concrete is wet the precursor predominates but as the concrete dries okenite (10.6 and 8.85~ phase) forms irreversibly with a different X-ray pattern to its precursor (12~ phase).
