Domain size as a parameter for studying the potential alkali-silica reactivity of chert-bearing aggregates

McNally, Ciaran ; Richardson, Mark G. ; Carr, A. J. (Alun J.) ; Strogen, Peter (Institution of Civil Engineers, 2004-05)

The presence of chert or flint in aggregates used for concrete manufacture has long been a source of concern in the context of alkali-silica reactivity. The global in-service performance of chert and flint-bearing aggregates, ...
The performance of Irish aggregates in the 'ultra-accelerated test' for alkali-aggregate reactivity with particular reference to chert content

McNally, Ciaran ; Richardson, Mark G. (2000-06)

Irish aggregates have a satisfactory history of service regarding alkali-aggregate reaction despite containing significant amounts of chert and use for a period in conjunction with cements of high alkali level. An investigation ...
