| Abstract: | The new DAfStb‐Guideline “Preventive Measures against detrimental Alkali‐Reaction in Concrete (Alkali‐Guideline)” In 2002 the German Committee for Structural Concrete decided to revise the Alkali‐Guideline. The motivation for the revision may be summarised as follows: – further developments in the german concrete technology – damage cases in concrete pavements – development of new rapid test methods – further specification of alkali reactive aggregates The contribution gives a detailed overview of the main amendments in the new Guideline and illustrates the background behind the key regulations. |
