Current concern with alkali silica reactions is due to rising alkali contents of cements, changed concrete technology, and necessity of employing marginal aggregates in many areas, as well as to new reports of field damage coming to light. A brief overall view of the physicochemical basis for alkal

The use of superplasticizers (SP) is widespread in today's concrete production. Usually, SP are used when specific demands in regard to workability, strength or durability have to be met. As they contain sodium sulphate, they have the potential to increase the alkalinity in the pore solution and the
This paper deals with the application of various test methods for monitoring the progression of alkalisilica reaction (ASR) in laboratory concrete mixtures. The effectiveness of each method is reported. Concrete specimens were stored at 38 °C in high humidity environment according to the Canadian CS
An accelerated laboratory test on concrete prisms is being developed which shows good correlation with the observed field performance of concrete structures damaged due to Alkali-Silica Reaction (ASR). The procedure for the test was determined by collecting a substantial database on actual structur
