Based on the results, for concretes containing aggregates exhibiting moderate reactivity, the maximum allowable cement alkali limit was raised from 1.00% to 1.15%. For all levels of aggregate reactivity, cement alkali contents could be allowed up to 1.25% provided the recommended level of mitigation by supplementary cementitious materials was increased. In the initial laboratory study, mortar bars and concrete prisms were cast and monitored using two different reactive aggregates and recommended levels of fly ash and slag. For the concrete prism tests, the alkali contents of the cements were increased to 1.25%, as per the standard, or were increased by 0.25%. Instrumented outdoor exposure concrete blocks, along with additional concrete prisms stored at different temperatures, were cast from numerous mixtures made with cement alkali equivalents ranging up to 1.22%. This paper report on the long-term performance of the prisms and concrete blocks after 12 and 27 years. The performance of the outdoor blocks is also compared to predicted performance based on the accelerated mortar bar and concrete prism test results.","PeriodicalId":51787,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers-Construction Materials","volume":"69 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89515290","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Linear variable differential transformer (LVDT) and non-contact three-dimensional digital image correlation (DIC) measuring techniques were used separately to measure deformation in the elastic region, and the elastic moduli, EpC,0 and EpC,90, were derived. Mean elastic modulus values obtained using LVDTs exhibited a good match with analytically predicted values. In contrast, the elastic values obtained by the DIC method were considerably higher and presented a considerable scatter of results. For instance, the EpC,0 for G-XLam3 and G-XLam5 panels were 17·22 and 15·67 GPa, and 14·86 and 12·48 GPa, using the DIC and LVDT methods, respectively.
