Abstract

The effect of content of reactive aggregate on alkali-silica reaction was investigated through the ASTM C 1260 method. The replacement proportions of fine aggregate by reactive aggregate were 25, 50, 75 and $100\%$, respectively. Reactive aggregate and fine aggregate(non-reactive aggregate) used are a metamorphic rock and andesite rock, respectively. The results indicate that the mortar-bar containing $25\%$ replacement of fine aggregate by reactive aggregate shows the lowest expansion but expansion in excess of $0.1\%$ at 16 days, which can distinguished between deleterious and potentially reactive. Although content of reactive aggregate is a small amount, it can cause detrimental expansion due to alkali-silica reaction.
