A STRATEGY FOR USE AND CONTROL OF POTENTIALLY REACTIVE CARBONATE ROCKS INCLUDING AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY OF VIRGINIA RESEARCH

GUIDELINES ARE PRESENTED FOR THE IDENTIFICATION AND ACCEPTANCE OF AGGREGATE FROM QUARRIES FURNISHING MATERIAL FOR CONSTRUCTION. THE ONLY DISTRESS IN STRUCTURES DOCUMENTED IN VIRGINIA WAS CAUSED BY EARLY EXPANDING AGGREGATES. THUS, THIS REPORT ADDRESSES ITSELF ONLY TO THIS TYPE OF ROCK. TWO STAGES OF SAMPLING ARE OUTLINED FOR OBTAINING FLEXIBILITY IN THE CONTROL AND INSPECTION PROGRAM, AND TESTING TECHNIQUES FOR PREDICTING REACTIVITY ARE REVIEWED. VARIOUS APPLICATIONS OF TEST RESULTS ARE LISTED, AND A BRIEF REVIEW IS GIVEN OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SUGGESTED GUIDELINES. THE NUMEROUS REPORTS, PUBLICATIONS, AND PRESENTATIONS THAT HAVE RESULTED FROM THE PROJECT ARE LISTED IN THE ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY.
