Rationale

Guide ASTM C1778 provides users with valuable guidance and approaches for reducing the risk of alkali aggregate reactions in concrete. Additionally, the document includes valuable supporting documentation and insights on the origins of its guidance. However, its non-mandatory language limits its adoption in other codes, specifications, or mandatory language documents. To facilitate the implementation of this information in concrete construction, a mandatory language document is necessary. This will help prevent misinterpretations that arise and are developed by Subcommittee C09.50.
