    The progress of the alkali-carbonate reaction (ACR) in NaOH or an aqueous environment at elevated tem-perature (60°C) was investigated in concrete prepared with silica-free dolomite aggregate. The ... resultsobtained show that chemical reactions characteristic for the ACR progressed in all aged concrete systems.In NaOH aged samples, dolomite grains smaller than 2 mm in diameter went through a completededolomitisation process. Additionally, new Mg-Al, Mg-Si and Mg-Al-Si phases were recognized at theaggregate-cement paste interface. The less alkaline environment in the case of H2O-aged samplesresulted in substantially decelerated ACR reaction. Based on observed long-term microstructural andphase changes, a detailed scheme of the ACR in concretes with silica-free dolomite aggregates was pro-posed. It turned out that the soluble Si-source does not necessarily originate from the aggregate itself butrather through the Pozzolanic reaction of cement binder decomposition/regeneration cycle.
