PROGRESS ON THE STUDIES OF ALKALI-CARBONATE REACTION

摘要

During the past twenty years, a series of studies on alkali-carbonate reaction (ACR) were carried out by our research group. They include mechanism of reaction and expansion, test methods, deteriorated cases of concrete structures, alkali-carbonate reactivity of carbonate rocks in China, geological conditions of formation of reactive carbonate rocks; distinguishing of alkali-silica reaction (ASR) from ACR. In this paper, the major results were summarized.
