Terminology3.1 Terminology used in this standard is as given in Termi-
16、nology C 125 or Descriptive Nomenclature C 294.4. Significance and Use4.1 Alkali-silica reaction is a chemical interaction betweensome siliceous constituents of concrete aggregates and hy-droxyl ions (1).5The concentration of hydroxyl ion within theconcrete is predominantly controlled by the concent
17、ration ofsodium and potassium (2).4.2 This test method is intended to evaluate the potential ofan aggregate or combination of an aggregate with pozzolan orslag to expand deleteriously due to any form of alkali-silicareactivity (3,4).4.3 When testing an aggregate with pozzolan or slag, theresults are
18、 used to establish minimum amounts of the specificpozzolan or slag needed to prevent deleterious expansion.Pozzolan or slag from a specific source can be tested individu-ally or in combination with pozzolan or slag from othersources.4.4 When selecting a sample or deciding on the number ofsamples for
19、 test, it is important to recognize the variability inlithology of material from a given source, whether a deposit ofsand, gravel, or a rock formation of any origin. For specificadvice, see Guide C 295.4.5 This test method is intended for evaluating the behaviorof aggregates in portland cement concr
20、ete with an alkali (alkalimetal oxide) content of 5.25 kg/m3(8.85 lb/yd3) or in concretecontaining pozzolan or slag with an alkali content proportion-ally reduced from 5.25 kg/m3(8.85 lb/yd3)Na2O equivalent bythe amount of pozzolan or slag replacing portland cement. Thistest method assesses the pote
21、ntial for deleterious expansion ofconcrete caused by alkali-silica reaction, of either coarse orfine aggregates, from tests performed under prescribed labora-tory curing conditions that will probably differ from fieldconditions. Thus, actual field performance will not be dupli-cated due to differenc
22、es in concrete alkali content, wetting anddrying, temperature, other factors, or combinations of these (5).4.6 Results of tests conducted on an aggregate as describedherein should form a part of the basis for a decision as towhether precautions should be taken against excessive expan-sion due to alk
23、ali-silica reaction. Results of tests conducted oncombinations of an aggregate with pozzolans or slag shouldform a part of the basis for a decision as to whether the specificpozzolan or slag, when used in the amount tested, was effectivein preventing excessive expansion. These decisions should bemad
24、e before a particular aggregate is used in concrete con-struction. Criteria to determine the potential deleteriousness ofexpansions measured in this test are given in Appendix X1.4.7 When the expansions in this test method are greater thanthe limit shown in X1.2, the aggregate or combination ofaggre
25、gate with the tested amount of pozzolan or slag ispotentially alkali-reactive. Supplemental information should bedeveloped to confirm that the expansion is actually due toalkali-silica reaction. Petrographic examination of the concreteprisms should be conducted after the test using Practice C 856to
26、confirm that known reactive constituents are present and toidentify the products of alkali-silica reactivity. Confirmation ofalkali-silica reaction is also derived from the results of the testmethods this procedure supplements (see Appendix X1).4.8 If the supplemental tests show that a given aggrega
27、te ispotentially deleteriously reactive, additional studies may beappropriate to evaluate preventive measures in order to allowsafe use of the aggregate. Preventive measures are mentionedin the Appendix to Specification C33.4.9 This test method does not address the general suitabilityof pozzolans or
28、 slag for use in concrete. These materials shouldcomply with Specification C 618, Specification C 989,orSpecification C 1240.5.
