Field Evaluation of Concrete using Hawaiian Aggregates for Alkali Silica Reaction
Alkali Silica Reaction (ASR) occurs in concrete when the alkali hydroxides (Na+, K+ and OH-) from the cement react with unstable silica, SiO2, in some types of aggregate. The resulting gel will expand when it absorbs water, potentially leading to cracking and overall expansion of the concrete. Concr...
