  • Mise en place du béton
  • Bétonnage

Bien que l'étude de la réaction alcali-carbonate ait été approfondie ces dernières années, il n'est pas possible de certifier, par un examen pétrographique seulement, si une roche donnée peut causer une dilatation excessive en présence d'un ciment à haute teneur en alcalis.
