This practice describes a procedure for evaluating aggregate reactivity and determining measures to prevent deleterious expansion due

22、 to alkali-aggregate reaction (AAR). 4.2. Following this practice will not completely eliminate the possibility of deleterious expansion occurring in new construction; rather the practice provides various approaches for minimizing the risk of AAR to a level acceptable to the owner. 4.3. Aggregate re

23、activity is determined on the basis of one or more of the following: field performance, petrographic examination, or the expansion testing of mortars or concrete, or both. 4.4. If the aggregate is deemed to be non-deleteriously reactive, it can be accepted for use in concrete with no further conside

24、ration of preventive measures (assuming that the physical properties of the aggregate render it suitable for use). 4.5. If the aggregate is found to be deleteriously reactive, it must then be determined whether the reaction is of the alkali-carbonate or alkali-silica type. 4.6. If the aggregate is a

25、lkali-silica reactive, the aggregate may be either rejected for use or accepted with an appropriate preventive measure. There are a number of options for minimizing the risk of expansion with alkali-silica reactive rocks. This practice allows for preventive measures to be evaluated on the basis of p

26、erformance testing or to be selected prescriptively from a list of options based on previous experience. The level of prevention required is a function of the reactivity of the aggregate, the class of structure, the nature of the exposure conditions, the availability of alkali in the system, the typ

27、e of material used for prevention, and the level of risk the owner is willing to accept. 4.7. If the aggregate is alkali-carbonate reactive, the aggregate must be rejected for use. There are no proven measures for effectively preventing damaging expansion with alkali-carbonate reactive rocks, and su

28、ch materials should not be used in concrete without selective quarrying or processing to limit the reactive components to acceptable levels. 4.8. In the approach outlined here, the level of testing varies depending on the level of risk that is acceptable to the owner. For example, in regions where o

29、ccurrences of AAR are rare or where the aggregate sources in use have a long history of good field performance, it may be reasonable to continue to rely on the previous field history without subjecting the aggregates to laboratory tests. However, in regions where AAR problems are known and where the

The flow chart in Figure 1 shows the sequence of testing and decisions that has to be made when evaluating a source of aggregate for potential AAR. It is recommended that the following sequence of testi

32、ng is followed to determine aggregate reactivity: consideration of field performance history, petrographic examination, accelerated mortar bar testing, and concrete prism testing. If the rock is a quarried carbonate, additional tests are required to determine the potential for alkali-carbonate react

Some agencies may adopt one or more of these test procedures, depending on prior experience with AAR and the acceptable level of risk of AAR in new construction. 2013 by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials.All rights reserved.

Appropriate preventive measures can be selected either by performance testing using the accelerated mortar bar test or concrete prism test, or by using prescribed measures that have been developed based on previous experience and published research data. The level of prev

The long-term field performance history of an aggregate can be established by consulting the available documentation (e.g., specifications and construction files) and conducting a

42、 survey of existing structures that were constructed using the same or similar (i.e., from the same geological environment) aggregate source. As many structures as practical should be included in the survey, and these structures should, where possible, represent different types of construction (pave

43、ments, sidewalks, curb and gutter, elements of bridges, barrier walls, and even non-transportation structures). The following information should be collected for each structure: (1) agestructures should be at least 10 years old and preferably more than 15 years old as deleterious expansion due to AA

44、R can take more than 10 years to develop; (2) cement content and alkali content of the cement used during construction; (3) use and type of supplementary cementitious materials during construction; (4) exposure conditionavailability of moisture, use of deicing chemicals; and (5) presence and type of

45、 symptoms of distress due to AAR or other causes. 6.1.2. Cores should be taken from a representative number of these structures and petrographic examinations conducted in accordance with ASTM C 856 to establish the following: (1) the presence or not of evidence of deleterious expansion due to AAR, (

46、2) the aggregate used in the structures surveyed is close in mineralogical composition to that of the aggregate currently being produced, and (3) the presence and an estimate of the quantity of supplementary cementitious materials. 6.1.3. If the results of the field survey indicate that the aggregat

47、e is non-deleteriously reactive, the aggregate may be used in new construction provided that the new concrete is not produced with a higher alkali loading, a lower amount of or different supplementary cementitious materials, or more aggressive exposure condition than the structures included in the s

48、urvey. 6.1.4. If field performance indicates that an aggregate source is deleteriously reactive, laboratory expansion testing is required to determine the level of aggregate reactivity and to evaluate prevention measures. Note 2There is a certain level of risk associated with accepting aggregates so

49、lely on the basis of field performance due to difficulties in establishing unequivocally that the materials and proportions used are similar to those to be used in new construction. For example, petrographic examination can estimate only the quantity of pozzolans and slag to the nearest 10 percent or so and is not able to determine the composition of the material (e.g., Class F versus Class C fly ash). The presence of very finely divided pozzolans (silica fume) cannot be detected using a petrographic examination. 6.2. Petrographic Ex
