THE EFFECT OF SILICA FUME TO REDUCE EXPANSION DUE TO ALKALI-SILICA REACTION IN CONCRETE . DURABILITY OF BUILDING MATERIALS AND COMPONENTS. PROCEEDINGS OF THE FIFTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE HELD IN BRIGHTON, NOVEMBER 7-9, 1990

Concrete prism specimens containing calcined flint have been stored in humid conditions at 20 deg C and the influence of silica fume content, proportion of calcined flint, and alkali level on alkali silica reaction (ASR) expansion have been investigated. The addition of silica fume reduced both the rate and total amount of expansion due to ASR, and delayed the onset of expansion. Increasing the calcined flint and/or alkali level of otherwise equivalent specimens had the reverse effect. (Author/TRRL)
