Seven pre-stressed post-tensioned concrete bridges, known to be suffering from alkali-silica reaction (ASR) were inspected in 1989 and their structural capacity assessed. The sixteen-year-old bridges are mainly of 42.3 m span through girder construction and carry farm access tracks over dual carriag

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
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
Both field observations and subsequent laboratory experiments showed that the presence of free Ca(OH)~ is a necessary condition for the breakdown of a PortlaHd cement concrete structure due to the destructive alkali-silica reaction. The complete removal of free Ca(OH) 2 either by leaching with a con
