Abstract

The accelerated mortar-bar test (AAR-2) has been widely and successfully used as a screening test to identify aggregates that are potentially alkali-reactive. However there are some aggregates that, though alkali-reactive according to both field experience and concrete prism test results, do not show as such in the mortar-bar test.
