Title: EXPANSION OF GULL RIVER CARBONATE ROCKS IN SODIUM HYDROXIDE
Accession Number: 00233647
Record Type: Component
Abstract: THE ALKALI-CARBONATE ROCK REACTION THAT HAS CAUSED SERIOUS DETERIORATION OF CONCRETE APPEARS TO BE LIMITED IN ONTARIO TO ROCKS OF THE GULL RIVER FORMATION. THIS MIDDLE ORDOVICIAN FORMATION, WHICH OCCURS IN A NARROW ZONE AVERAGING ABOUT 10 MI WIDE ALONG THE SOUTHERN BORDER OF THE CANADIAN SHIELD, WAS FORMERLY KNOWN AS THE BLACK RIVER FORMATION BUT WAS REDEFINED BY LIBERTY ON THE BASIS OF LITHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS. BECAUSE MANY QUARRIES, AMONG THEM THE CLASSICAL KINGSTON QUARRIES, ARE LOCATED IN THIS FORMATION, AN INVESTIGATION WAS CONDUCTED TO ESTABLISH WHETHER THE EXPANSIVE TYPE OF ROCK FOUND AT KINGSTON OCCURS ELSEWHERE IN ONTARIO AND, IF SO, WHETHER IT MIGHT BE USED BY ONTARIO HYDRO AS CONCRETE AGGREGATE. /AUTHOR/
