Thermo-chemo-mechanical modelling of hydropower structures affected by alkali silica reaction
Alkali-Silica Reaction (ASR) is a deleterious chemical reaction whose product expands in the presence of water inducing internal pressures within the concrete microstructure resulting in cracking and a reduction in elastic properties of concrete. Thus, ASR can substantially reduce serviceability and...
