Incidence of Alkali Release in Concrete Dams. Evaluation of Alkalis Releasable by Feldspars

Alkali release from aggregates can constitute a source of alkalis in concrete exposed to wet environments for long periods of time. Feldspars are one of the minerals that can release alkalis to the concrete with time. The formation of reaction products in the interface with the paste due to the alka...
