ABSTRACT

From visual examination a ranking of the cores according to the damage could be achieved. C4 and C5 showed the highest damage-followed by C7, C8 and C6, C7 from the A9. Features typical for an ASR could be observed (e.g. cracks running through cement paste and grains being partly filled with gel, reaction rims around grains, translucent drops of gel on grains at the superficies surface and air voids filled with gel).
