Construction and demolition waste (CDW) from earthquake rubbles was used here as
recycled aggregates (RA) in cementitious binders. The materials were sorted in six groups …

Experimental laboratory tests were performed using volcanic glasses from Argentina of
variable chemical composition and texture, in 1 N KOH, NaOH, Ca (OH) 2 and combined …

After 15 years of exploitation, numerous instances of damage to the concrete pavement
motorway located in northern Germany were observed. Detailed macro and microscopic …

This work consists of two stages; first, studies were conducted to evaluate the potential
reactivity of crushed material (6–20 mm fraction) from two quarries (named A and B) …

The present chapter aims at providing an overview on the situation in the countries here
described as 'Mainland Europe', with the enlargement of the definition to include all of …

The study focused on natural aggregates used in concrete, sourced from six different
production sites in Italy, and assessed their potential alkali-silica reactivity through two …

The deterioration of concrete can be caused by different processes. Alkali-aggregate
reactions are some of the most widely known modes of chemical deterioration, usually …

Identifying which constituent mineral of a rock is the cause of its reactivity is neither well
understood nor evident for many types of rocks. In order to summarise the information …
