Siliceous and dolomitic-bearing aggregates reaction in Tetramethylammonium hydroxide
Highlights TMAH as organic base which can have different effect on silica and dolomite. Deducing the mechanism of stabilization of silica in a TMAH. Dolomite treated in TMAH solution is similar in NaOH solution. TMAH could distinguish ASR and ADR.
Abstract Due to argillaceous dolomitic limestones usually contain more or less quartz or micro-crystalline quartz, based on existence of alkali-silica gels in concretes with dolomitic aggregates, lead to alkali-carbonation reaction (ACR) coexists with alkali-silica reaction (ASR) in concrete. This paper focuses on distinguish ASR are affected by the presence of Tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) solution to offer a better understanding of the effect of ADR on the mitigation process of alkali-carbonation reaction (ACR). In this work, X-ray diffraction (XRD), laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were carried out analyses of products. The results presented strongly support that the TMAH has no react on reactive silica, and thus stop further attack on the reactive silica by hydroxyl lions. According to the results of the tests, the presence of TMAH is sufficient to promote the ADR in samples with dolomitic aggregates, formation products of brucite and calcite. Therefore, it was concluded that evidence to support the theory of TMAH can distinguish ASR and ADR when dolomitic aggregate bearing quartz.
