Experimental Investigations on Expansion Performance of Alkali-Aggregate Reaction of Mortar

Article Preview

Abstract:

Volume expansion is the distinguishing characteristic of concrete occurring AAR. Expansion performance of mortar with different particle size composition aggregate was tested in this paper. The result show that MR specimens with part alkali active sand and R specimens with total alkali active sand present obvious expansion. But expansion ratio of NR specimen with inactive sand remains generally stable and is only 0.02%. Ultimate expansion ratio of specimen due to AAR is not in proportion to content of alkali active aggregate. There is a possible ratio for alkali active aggregate and inactive aggregate to acquire a larger ultimate expansion account. Furthermore, expansion ratio of specimens due to AAR and reaction time present the exponential function relationship.
