Investigation of Concrete Materials for Felsenthal and Calion Locks and Dams, Ouachita and Black Rivers, Arkansas and Louisiana
In the investigation natural sand and gravel from five sources and water from two sources were tested for suitability for use in making concrete to be used in construction of Felsenthal and Calion Locks and Dams. The results of the tests show that the aggregates from all of the sources are potentially reactive with the alkali in cement and would therefore require the use of low-alkali cement. The coarse aggregates from the St. Francis, Pine Bluff, and Ouachita sources showed high sulfate soundness losses, but these losses seemed susceptible of reduction by thorough washing of the aggregates in water.
