... Tests were performed on samples of alkali-bearing aggregates to determine amounts of alkali that could be removed by leaching in Ca(OH) 2 solution and water at 38°C (100°F) and 80°C (176°F). Additional tests were made on one reactive aggregate which was first subjected to leaching and then used...

... In order to better understand the factors controlling alkali-silica reaction, a study was carried out to show if the distribution of alkalies among the cement minerals influences the expansion of mortar containing reactive aggregate. The approach was to determine the distribution of alkalies...
