Evaluation of Potential Alkali-Carbonate Reactions

Abstract

The application of an integrated procedure for evaluating marginal aggregates with potentially deleterious degrees of alkali-carbonate reactivity is described. This evalation couples petrographic examination and laboratory expansion testing with a detailed field inspection of existing structures. Field inspection often indicates other sources of potential problems such as chert zones, shale pop-outs, road salt action, and the influence of high …
