Each data set includes a description of the sample, the raw 3-D data, and several two-dimensional images extracted from the raw data. Also included are several C utility programs useful for exploring these datasets.

The paper contains details on the alkali-silica reaction mechanism and the factors influencing it as well as an overview on available test methods (ASTM C1260 and C227). Besides an abstract the fulltext is available as PDF (24 pages, 1.3 MB).

It does not measure the length change but measures the stress generated by the swelling of the gel. The force required to prevent expansion is measured over time while the specimen and frame are immersed in a solution of 1-N NaOH at 50°C. With some test results.

Currently the most common field test is the slump test, and it is related only to the yield stress. Therefore, a simple field test method intended to provide an evaluation of the two Bingham rheological parameters, yield stress and plastic viscosity, was developed.
