Abstract

The Alkali-silica reaction of concrete is known as one of the destructive reactions.  There are many studies in this area. Taheri Consciousness Fields (TCFs)  were founded and introduced by Mohammad Ali Taheri as new Fields.  These Fields are neither matter nor energy, therefore, they do not possess a quantity, but they have direct effects on both matter and energy. In other words, although TCFs cannot be directly measured, we can investigate their effects indirectly through various controlled experiments. In this study, cement mortar samples were examined by using the ASTM C1260 standard and under the effect of a type of TCF known as TCF(H). Additional experiments, aggregate petrography, L.O.I (Loss on Ignition), SEM (Scanning electron microscopy), XRD (X-ray Diffraction), XRF (X-Ray Fluorescence), and FT-IR (Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy) were performed to further investigate the effect of TCF(H). It was found that the TCF (H) was able to reduce the expansion and improve the cement mortar function by up to 10% (average ̴̴ 7% P-value=0.008) and make observable changes in chemical and elemental compositions.
