Alkali-Silica Reactivity of Aggregate - Concrete Prism Test
This Test Method determines the susceptibility of aggregate to an expansive reaction when mixed with cement in a concrete mix. It measures the change in length of concrete prisms containing the aggregate under investigation. This Test Method is not…
Alkali-Silica Reactivity of Aggregate – Accelerated Mortar Bar Test
This Test Method determines the susceptibility of aggregate to an expansive reaction when mixed with cement in a concrete mix. It measures the change in length of representative mortar bars containing the aggregate under investigation during storage…
Cementitious Patch Repair of Concrete
Austroads Technical Specification 5340 sets out the requirements for the patch repair of defective concrete using cementitious materials. The process of restoring existing concrete typically includes: breaking back to sound and dense concrete to…
Webinar: Properties of General-purpose Cement with Increased Percentages of Limestone
This webinar, presented on 15 October 2019, provides an overview of an Austroads project that investigated whether cements with elevated limestone content would perform satisfactorily in ambient-cured and precast concretes subjected to aggressive…
Properties of General-purpose Cement with Increased Percentages of Limestone
This report presents the results of a research project commissioned by Austroads to investigate whether the currently used Australian general-purpose (GP) cement which complies with AS 3972, and which may contain up to 7.5% limestone as a mineral…
