Determining alkali leaching during accelerated ASR performance testing and in field exposed cubes using cold water extraction (CWE) and µXRF

Considerable leaching of alkali metals was documented, both in concrete samples exposed to accelerated laboratory testing and field samples. CWE allowed to quantitatively determine the free alkali metal profiles as a function of the depth. However, CWE cannot account for the changes in the paste con...
