Description

<p>Using concrete cores taken from the abutments of K and T bridges in Toyama Prefecture, the judgement of potential expansion capacity by accelerated expansion test in 1N-NaOH sol. was verified from the ASR reactivity of the used aggregate and the results of detailed texture observation of the concrete. Fine aggregates used in K bridge has a high content of andesite showing a high ASR reactivity and ASR-gel filled cracks were observed in andesite. By contrast, fine aggregates used in T bridge has a high content of rhyolitic welded tuff showing a low ASR reactivity and no cracks due to ASR were observed. As a result of the alkali solution immersion test, the concrete of K bridge was assessed as “harmful” and that of T bridge was as “innocuous”. From microscopic observations, it was considered that accelerated expansion in T bridge was not promoted due to original absence of cracks in concrete and the progress of carbonation in cement paste.</p>
