콘크리트에서 알칼리골재반응은 내구성에 악 영향을 주는 일종의 암이라고 표현할 수 있다. 잠복기간이 길고, 균열이 나타나는 시기도 매우 오래 걸리기 때문이다. 이러한 현상이 1940 년대 알려지면서, 미국 ASTM에는 1950년에 모르타르봉 시험방법이, 1952년에 화학법이 각각 시험방법 규격으로 제정되었다. 국내에서는 한국도로교통연구원을 비롯한 전문연구기관 등에서 화학법 및 모르타르봉 방법으로 연구한 결과, 화학법에서는 일부 골재가 반응성이 있는 것으로 보고 되었으나, 모르타르봉 방법에서는 대상 골재에서 유해가능성이 낮은 것으로 보고되었다. 또한, 그동안은 구조물에서 알칼리골재반응에 의한 피해사례도 보고되지 않았고, 골재의 품질도 양호한 것으로 알려져 왔다. 그러나, 최근들어 서해안 고속도로 일부 구간에서 알칼리골재반응에 의한 포장노면에 균열 및 스폴링 등 심각한 피해사례가 보고되면서 국내에서도 관심이 높아지기 시작하였다. 특히 일본에서는 제 63회 시멘트기술대회 (2009년 5월 22일)에서 팽창기구의 재검토에 대한 이야기가 패널토의에서 제기되었고, 일부 시험방법의 이야기도 나왔다. 그동안의 골재는 현재의 규격만으로도 설명이 가능했는데, 최근의 골재들은 설명이 잘 안 되는 경우가 종종 있다는 이야기다. 이런 이야기들은 일본 지인들과 기술교류를 하면서 많은 이야기를 나누었고, 또한 우연히 문헌들을 독해하던 중 이런 이야기들을 경험한 문헌인 일본 태평양시벤트에서 발간되는 CEM'S 자료를 찾았기에 발췌 정리한 것이다.

The possibility of ASR(alkali-silica reaction) for coarse aggregates had known to be low up to recently in Korea. But the distress of ASR was identified and reported by ASTM C 1260 test. The purpose of this paper was to identify the effect of environmental conditions on length expansion of mortar-bar by alkali-silica reaction with KS F 2546 and ASTM C 1260 test. The results of this study were as following; The result of KS F 2546 test for five kinds of aggregates shows that all of them are non-reactive. But that of ASTM C 1260 test shows that all of aggregates except Andesite-2 are over possible reactive because of environmental condition such as external alkali ion by 1N NaOH, high temperature and humidity. The result of variety of NaOH concentration on ASTM C 1260 using Siltstone indicates that length expansion rate increases highly as NaOH concentration increases. And, comparison results of KS F 2546 for Siltstone with that of 0.00N NaOH experiment indicates that length expansion rate increases as temperature and humidity increases.

This purpose of this study was to evaluate the controlling effect of alkali-aggregate reactivity using mineral admixtures for aggregates in Korea according to test methods: chemical test by KS F 2545; mortar bar test by KS F 2546; accelerated mortar bat test by ASTM C 1260.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the alkali-silica reactivity for aggregates in Korea according to test methods: accelerated mortar bar test (AMBT) by ASTM C 1260; chemical test by KS F 2545 (ASTM C 289). The results are as follows: The AMBT (ASTM C 1260) results showed that two (2) igneous rocks (two mica granite and felsite), three (3) sedimentary rocks (arkose, red sandstone and shale), two (2) metamorphic rock (slate and vitric tuff), one (1) mineral (quartz) showed more expansion than 0.1% at 14 days. But, some sedimentary rocks and metamorphic rocks expanded more than 0.1% at 28 days even though they were less than 0.1% at 14 days. Therefore, it is necessary to extend the experimental dates more than 14 days to evaluate the possibility of alkali-aggregate reactivity. The chemical test (KS F 2545) results showed that five (5) igneous rocks (andesite, diabase, granite porphyry, muscovite granite and diorite) were indicative of potentially deleterious expansion, while two (2) igneous rocks (diorite porphyry and quartz porphyry) were possible indicative of expansion, and three (3) igneous rocks (biotite granite, two mica granite and felsite) were indicative of innocuous reactivity. The above results showed that the results from chemical method (KS F 2545) and AMBT (ASTM C 1260) had little relationship.

The current ASTM C227-90 is a prescription on the mortar-bar method. This recornrnends that mortar-bars should be made using a mixing ratio by weight of 675 grams aggregate to 300 grams cement, and their initial lengths should be measured in $24{\pm}2$ hours. This method emphasizes that the prepare sample mortar-bars and calculate expansion rates of them. This method requires constant G values (effective gauge lengths) of denominator in the calculation formula, which are fixed either at 10 inches or 250mm. This study, based on experimental approaches, reexamines the suggestions made by those two prescriptions above and important results are summarized in the following. 1. Not only alkali-aggregate reaction but also interaction of interstitial and gel water are responsible for expansion of mortar-bars. This requires partial modification of the current ASTM C227-90. 2. A mixing ratio by volume rather than by weight of aggregate to cement is recommendable for measuring the amount of expansion resulting from alkali-aggregate reaction and from interstitial water. 3. The method of when to measure initial lengths and how to calculate expansion rate suggested by ASThI C227-90 and Cl90-93a should partly be modified for more accurate results.

Since the concrete covers most structures in modern architecture and it is composed of aggregates of about 75%, the appropriate selection of aggregates is valuable for the durability of concrete. A major cause of the expansion of mortar-bar measured by ASTM C 227-90 has been accounted by the alkali-aggregate reaction. This study carried out designed experiments on some aggregates including basalt and sandstone, to classify the expansion factors into the alkali-aggregate reaction, the increase of the gel pore volume, and the interstitial water that could expand physically the cracks or foliation developed in aggregates itself. The quantitative analyses of expansion by each factor indicated that the interstitial water and/or the alkali-aggregate reaction had major roles in the concrete expansion. Thus, if the supplied aggregates have deteriorated the structural framework, it is important to investigate the exact causes through this suggested method.

This study deals with the petrographic examination of aggregates(ASTM C 295) which is one of the methods to diagnose the quality of aggregates for concrete artifacts. A number of examinations including size and sieve analysis, test on the coating material, description of the weathering and contamination condition, petrographic description, and qualitative and quantitative analyses on the rocks and minerals potential to alkali-aggregates reactivity are carried out to examine the quality of aggregates. Petrographic description method examined on the fluvial aggregates from Maewhacheon A, B area, Uljin-gun, Kyungnam province shows that weathering grade ranges from F(fresh) to WS(slightly weathered) and coating material and contamination are not in a harmful condition. The weight percentage of the alkali-aggregates reactive minerals or structurally unstable rocks of the aggregates from study area covers 26% and 19% of all aggregates, respectively. So it is necessary to further identify their quality through the chemical(ASTM C 289) and mortar-bar method (ASTM C 227).

The distresses of alkali-silica reaction (ASR) was recently reported at highway cement concrete pavement in Korea, which showed typical cracking and spalling patterns of ARS. Korea is was no longer safe zone against ASR, needding to find a control methodology against ASR. The purpose of this research was to provide a control methodology against ASR using mineral admixtures through a series of laboratory test program. Laboratory works included the accelerated mortar bar test (AMBT) by ASTM C 1260 regulation with five types of aggregate and three types of mineral admixtures (fly ash, ground granulated blast-furnace slag and silica fume). The result of ASTM C 1260 test for five types of aggregates without mineral admixtures showed that Siltstone and Mudstone were found to be "reactive." Tuff and Andesite-1 were found to be "possiblely reactive." In case of concrete mixed with 10, 20, and 30% fly ash, all specimens except Mudstone mixed with 10% FA were found to be "non-reactive". In cases of concrete mixed with 30, 40, and 50% ground granulated blast-furnace slag and 5, 7.5, and 10% silica fume, all specimens were found to be "non-reactive." These results could be selectively applied in constructions in Korea.
