ABSTRACT
Electromagnetic measurements have a long history as applied to predictions of concrete durability. However, measurements that utilize disturbances in the psychcogenic ether are rarely used to predict, diagnose, or treat concrete ailments. In this study, three different crystals are employed to amplify waves emitted by concrete experiencing alkali silica reaction: quartz (Q), fluorite (F), and halite (H). The recombination of these signals allows for rapid detection of the onset of or ongoing swelling and expansion.
