Current concern with alkali silica reactions is due to rising alkali contents of cements, changed concrete technology, and necessity of employing marginal aggregates in many areas, as well as to new reports of field damage coming to light. A brief overall view of the physicochemical basis for alkal

This paper examines the dimensional change of concrete prisms that were fabricated using concrete made with either sodium silicate or sodium carbonate ABFSC binder incorporating either an innocuous control aggregate, an aggregate that is known to be reactive by way of ASR or ACR in ordinary Portland
The diffusion rate for chloride in cement paste is a parameter of major significance for the resistance of concrete structures to seawater environments. The results of this investigation show that an addition of silica fume or flyash in ordinary Portland cement paste considerably reduces the diffusi
Both field observations and subsequent laboratory experiments showed that the presence of free Ca(OH)~ is a necessary condition for the breakdown of a PortlaHd cement concrete structure due to the destructive alkali-silica reaction. The complete removal of free Ca(OH) 2 either by leaching with a con
