Abstract:
The main points with respect to alkali-carbonate reaction are described and discussed in detail. They include: 1) mechanism of expansion; 2) preventive measures; 3) cases of deterioration in China; 4) a rapid method to determine the reactivity of carbonate rock; and 5) comparison of alkali-silica reaction with alkali-carbonate reaction.
