Abstract: A series of concretes with two types of slowly reacting alkali sensitive aggregates and two types of cements was exposed in a fog chamber during 560 days. One cement was a Portland cement CEM I 32.5 R with a total alkali content of 1.24 by mass Na2Oequ.. The second cement was a “Portland pozzolana cement CEM II/B-Q 32.5 R (V)” with a total alkali content of 3.5 by mass Na2Oequ. made by replacement of 30 by mass of Portland cement CEM I 32.5 R by phonolite as supplementary cementious material. Compressive strength, static and dynamic modulus of elasticity were measured at fixed intervals. With determination of static Young`s modulus, predictions can be made about the damage degree and deleterious progress respectively. Such predictions are not possible with the determination of the dynamic Young´s modulus following the resonance frequency method.
