Abstract:The process of selecting candidate structures (and
appropriate components of structures) for lithium treatment
invariably involves sampling one or several components
of the structures for laboratory investigations, particularly
petrographic examination, and expansion tests (expansion
tests optional). This sampling is done to (1) confirm
whether alkali-silica reactivity (ASR) is an important part of
the deterioration process, (2) determine the extent of the deterioration
and, (3) if required, determine how much more
expansion/deterioration is to be expected. Figures 1 and 2
show the types of cracking that can be a visual indication of
a candidate for lithium treatment.
