✦ Synopsis

In this paper various practical implications of a recently proposed alkali-silica reaction mechanism have been expressed in a coherent fashion. Aspects of alkali-silica reaction considered are: long latency, sources of alkalies, relative aggressivity of sodium and potassium ions, reduction of expansion, relationship between the degree of chemical reaction and the expansion, and accelerated testing of aggregates.

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
