Assessment of alkalis released by aggregates. Contribution to the alkalinity increase and AAR development in concrete

Concrete swelling processes are one of the main degradation mechanisms of hydro concrete structures, such as dams. Included in this degradation phenomenon, the reactions that involve the aggregates when exposed to the alkali rich environment of the cement paste are probably the ones that deserve mor...
