On 22 February 2019 IPPT PAN held the ALKALINE REACTIVITY OF DOMESTIC AGGREGATES workshop. It was organized a part of the Development of Road Innovations programme, supported by the National Centre for Research and Development (NCBiR) and the General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways (Generalna Dyrekcja Dróg Krajowych i Autostrad GDDKiA).
All national representatives from GDDKiA Provincial Branches took part in the event. The programme covered the presentation of Technical Guidelines for the classification of domestic aggregates and discussion on the damage prevention due to alkali aggregate reaction in concrete used on road surfaces and road engineering structures. The workshop also covered the demonstration of research methods used to identify reactivity evaluation of aggregates.
The new research methods will be implemented for use in the GDDKiA laboratories.
