ASTM C1293 : 06

Standard Test Method for Determination of Length Change of Concrete Due to Alkali-Silica Reaction

Standard Details

1.1 This test method covers the determination of the susceptibility of an aggregate or combination of an aggregate with pozzolan or slag for participation in expansive alkali-silica reaction by measurement of length change of concrete prisms.

This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. (Warning-Fresh hydraulic cementitious mixtures are caustic and may cause chemical burns to skin and tissue upon prolonged exposure.)

1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The inch-pound values in parentheses are for information only.
