Three coarse aggregates, i.e. New Mexico polymictic gravel, Ottersbo cataclasite, and a non-reactive limestone aggregate, were used to manufacture cubes (300×300×300 mm3) from air-entrained, control (high-alkali cement; normal alkali cement) and ASTM Class F fly ash (20 and 30 % replacement levels of the high-alkali cement) concrete mixtures.

International audience As part of the Norwegian R&D project “ASR - Reliable concept for performance testing (KPN-ASR)” and of the RILEM TC 258-AAA activities, a study was launched in 2015 with the aim of correlating the results of field and laboratory investigations for selecting appropriate preventive measures against deleterious alkali-silica reaction (ASR) in concrete.
