| 520 | _aConsiders the risks to buildings from concrete cancer, cement and concrete with alkali levels high enough to cause Alkali Silica Reaction (ASR). This follows the announcement that for more than two years, the Westbury plant of Lafarge Cement UK has been unknowingly supplying these damaged materials. Argues that the existence of high-alkali cement does not mean that ASR is inevitable as three factors must be present; high alkalinity, moisture, and a particular silica in the aggregate. Gives five points to consider when assessing the risk of any building developing ASR which include the use of the affected concrete, the reinforcement arrangements and the level of the groundwater on site. | ||
