Behavior of common rock-forming minerals in a strongly basic NaOH solution
TL;DR: In this article, the behavior of several common minerals in a pure sodium hydroxide solution was evaluated by the means of two experiments, and the results showed that the most stable phases were found to be the iron and magnesium silicates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determination of In Situ Esterification Parameters of Citric Acid-Glycerol Based Polymers for Wood Impregnation
TL;DR: In this article, the synthesis and determination of in situ parameters of citric acid and glycerol-based polymers for wood impregnation was investigated. But the authors focused on the synthesis of a solvent free approach and achieved through an esterification condensation reaction under acidic conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Laboratory and field investigations of the influence of sodium chloride on alkali-silica reactivity
TL;DR: In this paper, high and low-alkali cements were used to make concrete cylinders, 255 mm in diameter, with a highly alkali-silica-reactive coarse aggregate, and subjected to various conditions at 38 � C: immersion in 3% NaCl solution; immersion in 6% NaC solution; humidity at 100% RH; and 14-day cycles including 12 days in humid air, 2 days of drying, and 3 h in 6%.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of the expansion attained to date by concrete affected by alkali–silica reaction. Part III: Application to existing structures
TL;DR: In this article, the expansion attained by a concrete affected by alkali-silica reaction (ASR) is an important parameter in the evaluation of the corresponding structure, and relationships were established i...

Alkali-aggregate reactivity in Québec (Canada)
TL;DR: In the province of Quebec, due to the particular geology and the historic use of high-alkali cements, a large number of concrete structures are affected by alkali-silica reactivity (ASR) as mentioned in this paper.
