This research project concerned methods of minimizing the effects of alkali-silicareaction in concrete. Ten pozzolans were tested to determine how they could most effec-tively be used to maximize reduction of expansion due to alkali-silica reaction when thepessimum amounts of opal or of reactive glassy igneous rock were used as aggregate withcements of several levels of ;A'-ali content. Three of these pozzolans (fly ash AD-505, flyash AD-509, and natural pozzolan AD-518) were selected for further work and were used atselected levels of cement replacement with pessimum amounts of opal, glassy igneous rock,and an estimated pessimum for chert with each of two high-alkali cements. In general, useof these pozzolans at their optimum levels was an effective procedure as expansions ofseveral tenths of a percent were usually reduced to a few hundredths. It was also foundthat some fly ashes when used at about 30 percent cement replacement level actually causedmore expansion, especially with low-alkali cement. This is believed to be due to the addi-tional water-soluble alkali provided by the fly ash to the system. % --L u i. wic

METHODS FOR CONTROLLING EFFECTS OF ALKALI-SILICA REACTION IN CONCRETE

Introduction

1. The intent of this project was to search for practical controls for

the effects of alkali-silica reaction in light of the evolving changes In

cement composition brought about by changes in environmental controls. This

research project was entitled "Minimize Alkali-Silica Reaction" and was con-

ducted from 1976 through 1980. One portion of the work included determination

of pessimum aggregate levels. The word "pessimum" is used to denote the most

reactive amount of reactive material in an aggregate. It need not be and

usually is not 100 percent of an aggregate.

Materials and Procedures

2. This project was conducted in several phases. The major effort con-

sisted of testing 10 pozzolanic admixtures at two of three different levels

with each of three cements of different alkali contents in mortar bars made

with Pyrex glass. This was done to determine the most effective amount of

pozzolan to effectively reduce expansion in this test. This testing was in

general accordance with American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)

C 441/CRD-C 257 (US Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station (WES) 1949).

This was followed by expansion testing of three reactive aggregates (Pyrex

glass, opal, and glassy igneous rock) to establish their pessimum amounts with

a low-alkali cement and two different high-alkali cements or with just the

latter. Once the most effective amount of pozzolan and worst (pessimum)

amount of reactive aggregate had been established, they were combined with two

high-alkali cements in mortar bars to evaluate the control that was obtained

by measurements of expansion in the mortar-bar test (ASTM C 227/CRD-C 123)

(WES 1949). This was done using three reactive aggregates (chert, opal, and

glassy igneous rock), two high-alkali cements, and three pozzolans (sub-

bituminous coal fly ash, lignite fly ash, natural (pozzolan)). Chert was used

instead of Pyrex glass for several reasons; these included the fact that Pyrex

has its pessimum amount at 100 percent and is not a realistic aggregate. How-

ever, since no experimentation had been done with the chert, its pessimum

amount was estimated. Another part of the work consisted of testing a slowly

4

Page 11: smmhmhhhhhhl - DTIC · the effects of alkali-silica reaction in light of the evolving changes In ... reactive granite gneiss as sand, as coarse aggregate, and in separated mineral

reactive granite gneiss as sand, as coarse aggregate, and in separated mineral

fractions to evaluate reactivity and to identify the reactive constituent of

the rock. The final part of this work consisted of combining cement or cal-

cium hydroxide (CH) with fly ash or the natural pozzolan or silica fume and

water and monitoring changes by periodic determination of strength levels, by

X-ray diffraction (XRD), and by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Most of

this latter effort centered on the reaction of a silica fume with CH. There

was some characterization of materials as needed, especially of the reactive

aggregates. The cements and pozzolans that were used had already been char-

acterized by physical, chemical, and petrographic examination in other work.

3. The following materials were used as coarse aggregate or fine aggre-

gate or both:a. CL-3 G-1. For this work, 200 lb* of Pyrex glass cullet were

received. Some of it was crushed into fine aggregate sizes.

b. CL-4 G-1. This was approximately 1,000 lb of chunks of Beltaneopal. Some of it was crushed into fine aggregate sizes.

C. CL-28 MS-I. This was a reactive glassy igneous rock from a 'tVquarry near Jackson Hole, Wyoming.** Two shipments of chunkswere received. The first was about 40 lb and the second wasabout 100 lb. All of the 40-lb sample and about half of theother shipment were combined and crushed into fine aggregatesizes.

d. CL-22 MS-I. This was fine aggregate processed from a localreactive chert gravel.

e. About 2 tons of reactive granite gneiss from Georgia werereceived in October 1976. A small amount of this was essen-tially 6-in. aggregate (CL-14 G-I(A)); the remainder was No. 67rock (CL-14 G-I(B)) which is similar in size distribution toNo. 4 to 3/4-in, material. As before, some of the No. 67 rockwas crushed into fine aggregate sizes (CL-14 MS-I). Heavymedia separation was used to divide some of this fine aggregateinto three parts; one was a biotite mica concentration, anotherwas a potassium feldspar concentration, and the third was acombined quartz and plagioclase feldspar concentration.

4. All of the reactive materials were washed after crushing and before

use to remove fines. The washing of the mineral separations of the granite

gneiss was mainly to remove all traces of heavy liquid.

A table of factors for converting non-SI unIts of measurement toSI (metric) units is presented on page 3.

5. Two similar samples of limestone fine aggregate (CL-MS-28, CL-2

MS-1(3)) were used as needed to dilute the reactive aggregate (Pyrex, opal,

glassy igneous rock, and chert) in a mortar mixture.

6. Petrographic examinations were made and physical data obtained for 4

the aggregate samples as needed.

7. Four different portland cements, not counting repeat samples, were

used in this project. They are identified below:

a. RC-688, RC-688(2). This was low-alkali cement (0.44, 0.37 per-cent as Na20) from Mississippi.

b. RC-720. This was high-alkali cement (0.79 percent as Na 20)from Michigan. It was replaced by RC-725 when all of RC-720had been used.

C. RC-725. This was high-alkali cement (0.78 percent as Na20)from Missouri.

d. RC-756, RC-756(2), RC-761. These were high-alkali (1.16, 1.31,and 1.07 percent as Na20) cements from New York. RC-761 wasused for RC-756 during the course of this work due to lack ofRC-756.

8. Eleven mineral admixtures were used. These were nine fly ashes

(four lignite, three subbituminous coal, and two bituminous coal), one natural

glass, and one silica fume, as identified below:

a. AD-505. Subbituminous coal fly ash from Missouri.

b. AD-506. Lignite fly ash from Texas.

C. AD-507. Subbituminous coal fly ash from Missouri. O%

d. AD-509. Lignite fly ash from North Dakota.

e. AD-510. Lignite fly ash from Minnesota.

f. AD-511. Bituminous coal fly ash from Georgia. .

. AD-512. Subbituminous coal fly ash from Iowa.

h. AD-513. Lignite fly ash from Colorado.

i. AD-570. Bituminous coal fly ash from Mississippi.

£. AD-518. Natural glass pozzolan from California.

k. AD-536, AD-536(2). Silica fume from Alabama.

9. Standard chemical and physical tests were made on all 4 cements

plus repeat shipments and 11 admixtures. In addition, petrographic methods

were used to identify crystalline phases in these materials. For the cements, 4

this included examinations by XRD on the whole cement, on the insoluble resi-

due after treatment with maleic acid, and on this insoluble residue after

treatment with ammonium chloride. The latter two examinations were not made

6

Page 13: smmhmhhhhhhl - DTIC · the effects of alkali-silica reaction in light of the evolving changes In ... reactive granite gneiss as sand, as coarse aggregate, and in separated mineral

on all of the cements. Treatment with maleic acid removes silicate phases;

treatment with ammonium chloride removes sulfate phases. Examination of XRD

patterns made after these chemical treatments is simplified and comparison

between patterns of the same material before and after such treatment can

assist in making correct identifications. The petrographic methods that were

used also included examination of materials with a stereomicroscope, examina-

tion of grain immersion mounts and of thin sections with a polarizing micro-

scope, and examination of materials with a scanning electron microscope.

10. All of the admixtures except the AD-570 ash were used at a 30 per-

cent solid volume replacement level with low-alkali cement RC-688, with Imoderately high-alkali cement RC-720, and with high-alkali cement RC-756;

length-change expansion was measured at 14 days and compared with similar data

for bars made with these cements without any admixture. The reactive aggre- .

gate was the Pyrex glass. This testing procedure is essentially as described

in ASTM C 441/CRD-C 257 (WES 1949) except for the use of other than the speci-

fied 25 percent admixture replacement by solid volume. The general intent was

to calculate reductions in expansion for each admixture compared to its corre- 'p.

sponding control mixture. If the reduction was 75 percent or more, the mix-

ture was repeated using 25 percent admixture by solid volume replacement of

cement. If the reduction was less than 75 percent, the mixture would be

repeated using 50 percent replacement. In general, this was done with excep-

tions or modifications as needed. It was necessary to change from RC-720 to *

RC-725, a cement of similar alkali content, for the second phase because all 0

of RC-720 had already been used. The amount of silica fume was reduced to

15 percent replacement because bars containing 30 percent fume shrank instead

of expanding. Reduction in expansion data were later used to estimate the

amount of admixture needed to obtain 75 percent reduction in expansion. This

was done by plotting these data and interpolating or extrapolating as required

to obtain these values.

11. The next step was to determine pessimum amounts of reactive material

(Pyrex glass, opal, and glassy igneous rock) by using different amounts of

these materials in the fine aggregate in mortar and determining expansion of

mortar bars using the same test method as before for Pyrex glass. The reac-

tive material was blended with limestone fine aggregate as needed. This was

done for Pyrex glass and opal using RC-688 or RC-688(2), RC-725, and RC-756 or

RC-761 (used to replace the exhausted supply of RC-756). The same procedures

7 -

Page 14: smmhmhhhhhhl - DTIC · the effects of alkali-silica reaction in light of the evolving changes In ... reactive granite gneiss as sand, as coarse aggregate, and in separated mineral

were used with the glassy igneous rock using cements RC-725 and RC-756(2), but

test method ASTM C 227/CRD-C 123 (WES 1949) was used instead of ASTh C 441/

CRD-C 257 (WES 1949). When the fine aggregate for mortar was to be a blend of

limestone and reactive material, the reactive material used consisted of equal

portions by mass of three sieve fractions: 2.36-1.18mm, 1.18mm-600m, and

600pm-300pm (No. 8-No. 16; No. 16-No. 30; No. 30-No. 50, respectively).

12. Using the preceding work as a basis for choosing the most effective

amount of admixture to reduce expansion due to alkali-silica reaction and the

worst (pessimum) amount of aggregate to obtain maximum expansion by the same

reaction, mortar mixtures were made and tested by ASTM C 227/CRD-C 123

(WES 1949) using such combinations to determine the control that was obtained.

Fly ashes AD-505 (subbituminous) and AD-509 (lignite) were used to represent

the ashes and AD-518 was used to represent a natural pozzolan. Moderately

high-alkali RC-725 and high-alkali RC-756(2) cements were used. The reactive

aggregates were opal, glassy igneous rock, and chert produced by crushing

chert gravel. As indicated earlier, it was decided not to use the Pyrex

glass. Therefore, a pessimum level for the chert was estimated since no work

had been done to determine this value. The reactive rocks were distributed

equally in the No. 16, 30, 50, and 100 sieves but no No. 8 size material was

used. This inclusion of the smaller size in this work and not in the work to

determine pessimum amounts of aggregate was necessary to compensate for some

chert contamination of the limestone.

13. A different phase of the project work was done on the slowly reac-

tive granite gneiss. Some of the coarse aggregate was crushed into fine

aggregate sizes. A concrete mixture was made using this rock as coarse and%Or

fine aggregate. Compressive strength data for this mixture were obtained %

through I year. Length changes for specimens stored in a moist environment at

1000 and 1400 F were measured for 32 months. Mortar bars were made with the

fine aggregate and measured for length changes under the same conditions as

above for 30 months; the compressive strengths of 2- by 2- by 2-in. mortar

cubes from this mixture were tested through I year. i

14. The four major mineral phases in the reactive granite gneiss were

separated into concentrations of biotite mica, potassium feldspar, and com-

bined quartz and plagioclase by density separation of fine aggregate using a

heavy liquid. Quartz and plagioclase were left combined because their densi-

ties were too close to permit a reasonable separation. The intent was to

8

Page 15: smmhmhhhhhhl - DTIC · the effects of alkali-silica reaction in light of the evolving changes In ... reactive granite gneiss as sand, as coarse aggregate, and in separated mineral

determine which phase or phases were responsible for the reactivity of the

rock. Since this effort resulted in small amounts and sizes of these concen-

trations, the amount of work that could be done was limited. Three normal

size mortar bars (I by I by 11-1/4 in.) were made with the mica concentration

and three with the quartz-plagioclase concentration using only the 600-, 300-,

and 150-um (No. 30, 50, 100) sieves,* as these were all that were available;

high-alkali cement RC-756(2) was used. One bar of each set was stored at

1000 F with the other two bars kept at 140 ° F; these were measured for length

changes periodically for 27 months. There was not enough of the potassium

feldspar concentration to make normal size bars. Therefore, six small bars

(1/2 by 1/2 by 3-1/2 in.) were made as above from each of the three mineral i

concentrations and half were tested for length changes at each of the same two

temperatures for 1 year. Molds and containers to make these smaller bars were

provided by the courtesy of Mr. Robert S. Barneyback, Jr., then at Purdue

University.

15. The third and final phase of this project was to follow the strength

development and composition of hydration products with time of cement and poz-

zolan or hydrated lime (CH) and pozzolan-paste mixtures. Materials were low-

alkali cement RC-688(2) or CH with bituminous coal fly ash AD-511, natural

pozzolan AD-518, and silica fume AD-536(2). Early combinations were one part

cement or CH with two parts pozzolan; later the ratios were one to one and the

water contents were changed. Curing was usually at room temperature for 24 hr

and at 1000 F thereafter. Composition was determined by periodic monitoring

by XRD and SEM. After these early efforts, most mixtures that were made were

CH and silica fume due to the unusual activity of this material; flow was

usually between 95 to 110 percent. Adequate consolidation of paste specimens

made with the fume was a continual problem due to the unusual fineness of this

material. The final work in this phase was to make CH and fume mixtures and

CH with bituminous fly ash AD-570 mixtures to have lime-to-silica (CaO/SiO2,

C/S) ratios of about 1 to 2; testing was as before.

* About 30 percent retained on the 6 00 -um sieve, 34 percent on the 300-um

sieve, and 36 percent on the 150-um sieve.

Results

16. Chemical and physical analytical data for the cements and the mineral

admixtures that were used are shown in Tables 1 through 7 and 8 through 19,

respectively; petrographic data for these materials are given in Reinhold

et al. (1986). The work done to determine the most effective amount of 10 of

these pozzolans in reducing expansion was described earlier. The actual expan-

sion data are shown for low-alkali cement RC-688 in Table 20, moderate high-

alkali cement RC-720 or RC-725 in Table 21, and high-alkali cement RC-756 in

Table 22. These include initial mixtures with 30 percent pozzolan plus mix-

tures with 25 or 50 percent pozzolan plus the 15 percent silica fume. The

data are generally self-explanatory. However, the behavior of three of the

four lignite ashes should be noted. They were the only 3 (AD-509, AD-510,

AD-513) of the 10 pozzolans that permitted more than 0.1 percent expansion

when combined with low-alkali cement. As shown in Table 23, which is the cal-

culation of reduction in expansion obtained with these pozzolans, these three

actually encouraged expansion at the 30 percent level with the low-alkali

cement. AD-510 also did this with moderate high-alkali cement RC-720 at the

30 percent level. Ash AD-510 was always found to be unusual without specific

recognition of why this was so. Data for ashes AD-509, AD-510, and AD-513

(Tables 11, 12, and 15, respectively) show the following alkali contents:

PPercent Alkali as Na, 0

Water AcidAshes Soluble Available Soluble Total

AD-509 0.39 1.63 1.69 5.16

AD-510 0.66 2.55 2.67 3.54

AD-513 0.01 0.65 0.85 1.65

The total alkali content of low-alkali cement RC-688 is 0.44 percent expressed

as NaO0. It appears that use of AD-509 and AD-510 and perhaps AD-513 may have

added as much alkali for reaction as was removed by replacing 30 percent of

the cement, especially with the low-alkali cement.

17. Ashes AD-505 and AD-509 and the natural pozzolan AP-518 were later

selected for further work. The foregoing data indicated most effective amounts

by solid volume of each to inhibit expansion as follows:

This indication that large amounts of pozzolan would be needed to reduce

expansion to an acceptable level had also been found by Pepper and

Mather (1959). The sec of three bars made with high-alkali cement RC-715

without pozzolan had expansions at 14 days of 0.374, 0.323, and 0.382 for an

average of 0.360 percent.

18. The next part of this work was done to find pessimum amounts of reac-

tive aggregates. The expansion data in Tables 24, 25, and 26 for Pyrex glass

aggregate clearly show expansion always increases with amount, so its pessimum

is 100 percent with each of three different cements.

19. Data for Beltane opal (CL-4 G-1) at the 2-, 4-, 6-, and 100-percent

levels with cement RC-688 are shown in Table 27. Data for Beltane opal at the

1-, 2-, 4-, 6-, and 100-percent levels with cement RC-725 are shown in

Table 28. Table 29 presents the data for Beltane opal at the 1-, 2-, 4-, 6-,

and 100-percent levels with RC-756 or RC-761. XRD examination of crushed opal

representative of that used in mortar bars indicated it was composed of:

Mineral Relative Amount

Low temperature dis- Majorordered alphatridymite

Quartz Moderate

High-temperature Minortridymite

High- and low-temperature Minorcristobalite

There was probably also some amorphous material. Similar work with a separate

hand sample showed the above composition plus the presence of weak XRD peaks0

at 5.8 and 5.0 A. Robert Barneyback, then at Purdue University, suggested

these might be due to alunite, which is a hydrated potassium aluminum sulfate

mineral. The chemical analyses of the composite sample and of the hand sample

in Table 30 show a much higher sulfate level for the hand sample. It was

concluded that there was some alunite in the hand sample but not in the rock

used for mortar bars.

20. Expansion data for glassy igneous rock (CL-28 MS-1) at the 3-, 6-,

12-, and 100-percent levels in mortar bars with cement RC-725 are shown in

Table 31. Similar data at the 5-, 10-, 20-, 40-, and 100-percent levels with

cement RC-756(2) are shown in Table 32. These tests were made in accordance

with ASTM C 227/CRD-C 123 (WES 1949) instead of ASTM C 441/CRD-C 257 (WES

1949), but this change should not be significant for the purpose of this work.

XRD examination of both shipments of this rock showed crystalline phases to be0

tridymite, a 14-A clay, plagioclase feldspar, pyroxene, magnetite, and hema-

tite for the second shipment only, all in minor amounts. Examination of thin

sections showed the rock to consist largely of a ground mass of devitrified

glass with recognizable phenocrysts of some of the above phases; hypersthene,

a pyroxene, was recognized as one of the pyroxenes by its pleochroism. Based

on these examinations, the two shipments were combined as described and pro-

cessed into fine aggregate. A chemical analysis of the fine aggregate was

made and is shown in Table 33. The total alkali in this rock expressed as

Na 20 is 5.04 percent calculated from the data for Na 20 and K 20 in the average

column in this table. Separate analysis to determine the amount of water-

soluble alkali in the rock was also done. Twenty grams of the rock were added

to 200 ml of water in a flask. The flask was shaken for 10 min, and the solu-

tion filtered through a Buchner funnel which contained a filter paper. The

filtrate was then diluted to 500 ml, and the Na2O and K20 determined by atomic

absorption spectrophotometer (AA). The results are:

Water-soluble Na 0 - 0.002 percent2

Water-soluble K20 - 0.006 percent

Total water-soluble alkali, as Na 0 - 0.007 percent

This showed that most of the alkali was not water soluble. '

21. Examination of the foregoing data for the three reactive aggregates

indicated the following:

a. The pessimum amount was 100 percent for the Pyrex glass withall of the three cements used. As indicated before, it wasdecided not to use this material in the next part of this work.

b. The pessimum amount for the Beltane opal was about 1 percent orless with low-alkali cement RC-688, 1.5 percent with moderatehigh-alkali cement RC-725, and 3 percent with high-alkalicements RC-756 or RC-761; RC-756(2) was used in the next workbecause the supplies of RC-756 and RC-761 were exhausted.

c. The pessimum amount for the glassy igneous rock was 9 percentwith moderate high-alkali cement RC-725 and 30 percent withhigh-alkall cement RC-756(2).

22. The physical properties of these reactive aggregates were not

obtained since they were not needed to make mortars. The two limestone fine

aggregates that were combined to dilute the reactive aggregates had the

following properties:

Absorption Relative

percent Density

CRD-MS-28 0.6 2.71

CRD-2 MS-1(3) 0.5 2.72

23. Tables 34 through 39 show the expansion data obtained when what ..- '

were intended to be the most effective amounts of three pozzolans or no

pozzolan (control mixture) were combined with intended pessimum amounts of

three different reactive aggregates with each of two high-alkali cements. The

data in Tables 34 and 35 indicate that the estimated pessimum of 80 percent

for the chert was too high; therefore, no further attention will be paid to

these data.

24. Since the no-pozzolan condition in Tables 36 through 39 represents

the interpolation of reactive aggregate amounts from Tables 28 and 29 for the

opal and Tables 31 and 32 for the glassy igneous rock, it is possible to

determine by inspection of the data whether pessimum amounts were actually

used. By this comparison the pessimum amounts look good for the 3-percent

opal and both levels of glassy igneous rock. Visual interpolation from

Table 28 at 56 days indicates expansion should be about 0.1 percent for

1.5 percent opal with cement RC-725. Since it was actually about half this

13

%I

Page 20: smmhmhhhhhhl - DTIC · the effects of alkali-silica reaction in light of the evolving changes In ... reactive granite gneiss as sand, as coarse aggregate, and in separated mineral

amount (Table 36), a batching error in the amount of opal used probably

occurred since a separate remake of mortar using cement RC-725 and 1.5 percent

opal did show the expansion expected. In any case, less attention should be

paid in this table to the effect of pozzolan.

25. The use of 30 or 50 percent of ash AD-505 and of 50 or 60 percent

of ash AD-509 through 105 to 113 days of testing (Tables 37, 38, and 39)

seems quite effective as expansions of about 0.17 to 0.45 percent in the con-

trol mixtures without a pozzolan were all reduced to about 0.01 to

0.02 percent.

26. An extrapolated value for the most effective amount of natural poz-

zolan AD-518 from the mixtures that contained 30 and 25 percent of it was

10 percent. However, inspection of the data for those mixtures containing

this amount of AD-518 (Tables 36 through 39) shows that 10 percent was not

effective in reducing expansion. Six additional mortar mixtures containing 0,

5, 10, 20, 25, and 30 percent of AD-518 were made with high-alkali cement

RC-756(2) and 3 percent opal and tested for length changes out to about

90 days (only 29 days for the mixture with 25 percent AD-518) (Table 40).

These verify that 10 percent or less of this material is not effective in

reducing expansion and that 20 to 30 percent is required. It may be that the

30 and 25 percent amounts in the original work gave data points too close

together to do a good extrapolation. In any event, this material was effec-

tive in reducing expansion when it was used at its proper amounts of 20 to

30 percent. The work just described was reported by Buck (1985).

27. Work with the reactive granite gneiss (CL-14 G-I(B), CL-14 MS-I)

has already been described. Table 41 shows compressive strength data for 3-

by 6-in. concrete specimens and 2- by 2- by 2-in. mortar cubes made with this

rock and high-alkali cement RC-756(2) through I year of testing. The absorp-

tion and density of this material as coarse aggregate and fine aggregate are

shown below:I

Absorption Relativepercent Density

Rock CL-14 G-I(B) 0.7 2.68

Fine Aggregate CL-14 MS-i 1.0 2.74

The strength data seem normal and do not reflect the slow reactivity of this

rock. Length-change data for specimens from the same concrete and mortar

Page 21: smmhmhhhhhhl - DTIC · the effects of alkali-silica reaction in light of the evolving changes In ... reactive granite gneiss as sand, as coarse aggregate, and in separated mineral

mixtures are shown in Table 42 through 30 or 32 months of testing; the testing

was at two temperatures (100 ° and 140 ° F) like that for gravels described in

other work (Buck and Mather 1984). Both the concrete and mortar specimens

show expansion of about 0.05 to 0.06 percent after 2 years at the lower

temperature; they show definitely significant expansion (-0.10 percent) by

this age at the higher temperature. The expansion results for these specimens

were much like those for the gravels just mentioned.

28. Length-change data for the mica and the quartz-plagioclase feldspar

concentrations that were separated from the granite gneiss and used in three

normal size mortar bars are shown in Table 43 through 27 months of testing at

two temperatures. The data are generally similar to those for the concrete

and for the whole fine aggregate in mortar bars; thus, there is no specific

indication here to identify the reactive constituent of the rock.-.

29. Because of the small amount of the mineral separations, the rest of F %

these separations were used to make small mortar bars. Length-change data for

each of the three mineral separations are shown in Table 44 through I year of

testing at two temperatures. Because of the same lack of material by size

fractions, these 18 small bars and the 6 normal size ones shown in the previ-

ous table were made using just the No. 30, 50, and 100 sieve size fractions;

all of these bars were made to be identical mixtures. Once again, none of.

these data clearly identifies the reactive component of the rock.

30. In general, the testing of the reactive granite gneiss showed that

expansive reaction could be seen in specimens tested at 600 C for more than

1 year and that the quartz was probably the reactive constituent. These find-

ings are parallel to those found by other testing of quartz and quartzite

gravels (Buck and Mather 1984).

31. The work involving study of strength development and characteriza-

tion of reaction products using cement and fly ash or calcium hydroxide (CH)

with fly ash or silica fume or the natural pozzolan with water was done to

study simplified systems, especially those with CH, to follow the effect of

the pozzolan. This included limited and the only use of the eleventh admix-

ture, fly ash AD-570. The work involving the combination of CH and silica

fume was summarized by Buck and Burkes (1981). Those data will not be repeated

here. They showed good compressive strengths that varied with water content '

but were not much affected by using one or two parts of fume to CH when the

water-to-solids ratio was about 1.0. XRD and SEM studies showed that these

Page 22: smmhmhhhhhhl - DTIC · the effects of alkali-silica reaction in light of the evolving changes In ... reactive granite gneiss as sand, as coarse aggregate, and in separated mineral

combinations of silica fume and CH with water resulted in the formation of h

well crystallized calcium silicate hydrate-I (CSH-I) (Taylor 1964). Presum-

ably, this formation of CSH is akin to what happens when the silica fume is

added as a pozzolan to inhibit alkali-silica reaction and reacts with CH in

the paste. As indicated earlier (Tables 20, 21, and 22), it was an especially

effective pozzolan in reducing expansion. Most of this work was done using

lime-to-silica (C/S) ratios of about 0.4 to 0.8; a small amount of work was

done increasing this ratio to about 1.7 with silica fume and 1.0 and 2.0 for

fly ash AD-570, both with CH. The intent was to determine whether CSH-II

would form at these higher C/S ratios; it did not.

Conclusions

32. The portion of this project dealing with the ability of different

pozzolans, when used at their most effective level with high-alkali cement, to

control alkali-silica reaction when the reactive aggregate is at its pessimum

(worst) amount was generally successful. Expansions of over 0.1 percent were

reduced safely below those levels by this procedure. This is verification of

the ability of different pozzolans to control this reaction without the neces-

sity of using low-alkali cement. However, as found by Pepper and Mather .

(1959), it may and probably will be necessary to use larger amounts of a given

pozzolan, up to 60 percent by solid volume replacement of cement.

33. The work with reactive granite gneiss did not specifically identify

either mica or feldspar as being the reactive material in this rock. It is

believed that strained quartz was the reactive constituent since it was all

that was left. Expansion data were generally similar to those obtained In the %%

project devoted to reactivity of quartz (Buck and Mather 1984). These data

formed part of the basis for revision of Appendix B of EM 1110-2-2000, Stan-

dard Practice for Concrete (I'S Army Corps of Fngineers 1983) to include

strained quartz as reactive material.

34. The final portion of all of this work dealt largely with the reac-

tion of silica fume and calcium hvdroxide with water; it showed the high reac-

tivity of silica fume and provided data on the well crystallized calcium

silicate hydrate Type I that developed by this reaction. %
