Reaction in Concrete
FULL FUNDING has been secured for the American Society for Testing and Materials Institute's project to study expansion due to the alkali-silica reaction in concrete. Twelve organizations have donated nearly $100,000 to sponsor the project and form the advisory committee.
The committee held its first meeting in mid-December to review the progress of the project and set objectives for the next six months. The project is expected to improve the understanding of the kinetics of alkali-silica reaction in concrete and to develop a test method and specification concerning the reactivity of portland cement when combined with alkali reactive aggregate.
