The method is an aggregate test where aggregates are extracted from concrete and reused in accelerated mortar tests with added alkali. The mortar tests are used to determine the advancement of the different classes of aggregate sizes used in the structure. Residual expansion is evaluated from inverse analysis of data available on the damaged structure (displacements, cracking measurements).
