In consideration of practical engineering demands, we carried out long-age simulation test on fully-graded mass concrete alkali aggregate reaction using SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) test technology, and in association with the existing assessment system for alkali aggregate reaction, we researched the long-term inhibition of alkali activity. Results suggest that the characteristics of reaction product can be observed evidently by using SEM, the reaction degree can be obtained semi-quantitatively, and the trend of concrete deterioration can be estimated. %U http://ckyyb.crsri.cn/EN/10.11988/ckyyb.20140220
