A TEST METHOD ON RAPID IDENTIFICATION OF ALKALI REACTIVITY AGGREGATE (GBRC RAPID METHOD) --PROCEEDINGS OF THE 7TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON CONCRETE ALKALI-AGGREGATE REACTIONS, OTTAWA, CANADA, 1986

Since 1984, the gbrc rapid method has been developed in general building research corporation of Japan (gbrc), in order to rapidly identify the alkali reactivity of aggregates. It is also available for the determination of future suscepitibility to alkali-aggregate reaction of fresh concrete. We have published the results of studies on gbrc rapid method several times in Japan (1-5). In this report, we present an outline of the test method and a description of the investigation to develop the test. We also present test results on 152 aggregate samples using this method, and a correlation of the results of the gbrc rapid method with the ASTM chemical and mortar-bar methods, and its application for the identification of future susceptibility to alkali-aggregate reaction of fresh concrete.(a) for the covering abstract of the conference see IRRD 811982.
