Decreasing of the durability of the concrete and reinforced concrete structures due to the alkali-silica reaction is actual problem worldwide.In 1968 at the first time it was reported about the destruction of concrete structures by the reason of the reaction between alkalis of cement and silica of aggregate on the territory of Russian Federation.Further studies which were conducted in the period from the 1970s to the 1980s were aimed to the assessing of potential reactivity of all the fields of coarse and fine aggregates in the areas of construction of hydroelectric power plants and other important projects.
