FACTORS AFFECTING THE THERMAL EXPANSION OF CONCRETE AGGREGATE MATERIALS

RESULTS OF THERMAL EXPANSION DETERMINATIONS MADE ON 137 SPECIMENS OF AGGREGATE MATERIAL AND SINGLE CRYSTALS BY THE OPTICAL INTERFEROMETER METHOD OVER THE TEMPERATURE RANGE -4 TO +140 DEG. F. ARE GIVEN. CRYSTAL ORIENTATION, ROCK TEXTURE, AND COMPOSITION ARE DISCUSSED IN REGARDS TO THEIR EFFECT ON THERMAL EXPANSION OF AGGREGATE AND THEIR RELATION TO THE DURABILITY OF CONCRETE.
