Pyrite Testing explained by Dr Bernadette Azzie For the Institute of Geologists of Ireland Need to identify the presence of reactive pyrite and secondary minerals that IS EN 932 3 Tests for general properties of aggregates on reactions of aggregates involving alkalies and on methods by which potentially alkali reactive aggregates or cement aggregate combinations can be detected How 173 ever chemical properties and reactions of aggregates not involving alkalies are locally of great significance especially in architectural quality of concrete and should

What is Alkali Silica Reaction Alkali silica reaction ASR is a chemical reaction between the alkalis in portland cement and certain types of silica minerals present in some aggregat The reaction product is a hygroscopic gel which absorbs moisture and swells Under certain circumstances the formation of the gel can cause expansion and eventually cracking of the concreteidentification and approximate quantification of reactive minerals Petrography may be used to classify an aggregate as potentially reactive but expansion testing is required to determine the extent of the reactivity and appropriate levels of prevention Aggregates may be accepted as non reactive solely on

The elevated temperature and high relative humidity RH in the concrete core of usually massive shielding structures may promote the development of a detrimental alkali silica reaction ASR provided that both reactive minerals in the aggregate and sufficient alkali in concrete pore solution are presentAn aggregate is considered reactive when bar expansion exceeds a limit value of 019 after 30 days and when petrographic analysis identifies the presence of reactive mineral phas The measurements were performed in triplicate The elemental composition of the Portland cement used in the mortar bars was determined by EDX Table 1

The reaction starts with the attack on the reactive siliceous minerals in the aggregate by the alkaline hydroxide formed by the alkaline hydroxide K 2 O and Na 2 O present in the cement As a result of this reaction the alkali silicate gel of unlimited swelling property is formed and the alteration of boarders of the aggregates takes placeAn aggregate is considered reactive when bar expansion exceeds a limit value of 019 after 30 days and when petrographic analysis identifies the presence of reactive mineral phas The measurements were performed in triplicate The elemental composition of the Portland cement used in the mortar bars was determined by EDX Table 1
