Alkali aggregate reactions (AAR) occur when aggregates in concrete react with the alkali hydroxides in concrete producing a hygroscopic gel which, in the presence of moisture, absorbs water and causes expansion and cracking over …
The Shapley Additive Explanations analysis reveals that the most influential factors include reaction days, alkali content, aggregate particle size, and silica content, contributing to up to 35 % of the variation in ASR expansion. This work offers valuable insights for the efficient assessment of durability of concrete structures concerning ASR ...
carbonate, then the potential for alkali-silica reactivity should be determined. The potential for deleterious alkali-silica reaction can be determined following either ASTM C1260 (AMBT) or ASTM C1293 (CPT). If the aggregate falls below the 0.10% expansion limit at 14 days in the AMBT, the aggregate is considered to be innocuous in most cases.
However, some aggregates react with the alkali hydroxides in concrete, causing expansion and cracking over a period of many years. This alkali-aggregate reaction has two forms— alkali-silica reaction (ASR) and …
3. 9/12/2015 3 Most common reaction of ASR is that between the active silica constituents of the aggregate and the alkalis in cement It results in the formation of an alkali-silicate gel, either in planes of weakness or pores in the aggregate …

It enhances the bleed control, reduces water usage, alkali-aggregate reaction potential. These factors make blended cement an ideal choice for domestic construction, pre-cast concrete, and also for mining applications. | PowerPoint …
This chapter introduces and defines the nature of alkali-aggregate reactions in concretes. Alkali-silica reactivity in concrete is a particular variety of chemical reaction within the fabric of a concrete involving alkali hydroxides, usually derived from the alkalis present in the cement used, and reactive forms of silica present within aggregate particles. This chemical …

alkali-aggregate reaction. There are three types of alkali-aggregate reactions, namely the alkali-silica, alkali-silicate and akali-carbonate reactions. Deterioration due to the alkali-silica reaction is more common and this paper refers to this aspect. The alkali-silica reaction was first recognized as a problem in North American in 1940, in
This document discusses alkali-aggregate reaction (AAR) which can cause cracking and loss of serviceability in concrete. There are two main types of AAR - alkali-silica reaction (ASR) and alkali-carbonate reaction (ACR). ASR occurs due to a reaction between hydroxyl ions in cement pore solution and reactive forms of silica in aggregates, producing an expansive gel. The three …
Because of alkali aggregate reaction manufactures are more careful about alkali content (K2O and Na2O) . Alkali content = [Na2O + (0.658)K2O ] < (0.6% by mass of cement) Alkali aggregate reaction takes place at higher concentration of OH-, that is at high pH value. High alkali cement pH(13.5 to 13.9) unsafe against AAR Low alkali cement pH(12.7 ...
It is now more than 80 years since Alkali Aggregate Reactions (AAR) first were reported as a deleterious deterioration mechanism in concrete. In Norway, AAR was recognised in the late nineteen-eighties. Norwegian experience and expertise have increased significantly since then and entered the international stage, with connections to leading ...

a Concrete pore solution is dominated by Na, K, and OH (with minor amounts of Ca). If the silica in the aggregate is reactive — the OH and then the Na and K will react with the SiO 2.. b The product of the reaction is in alkali-silica gel composed of Na, K, Ca, and Si The gel forms around and within the aggregate.c The gel imbibes water from the surrounding cement …
Alkali–aggregate reaction (AAR) 1 is a chemical reaction between alkalis in the concrete and reactive components of the aggregates. It was first observed in the United States in the 1920s and initially researched by Stanton in 1940. AAR is a type of internal chemical damage to concrete, and therefore it can be avoided or mitigated by engineering design and careful …
The alkali-aggregate reaction (AAR) in concrete is a group of chemical reactions that involves the reaction of certain minerals present in the aggregates with alkali and hydroxyl ions in...
This paper presents theoretical and applied state-of-the-art information in the field of alkali-aggregate reactivity (AAR) in concrete. The aspects discussed include basic concepts of the reaction and expansion mechanisms, conditions conducive to the development and the sustainability of AAR in concrete, field and laboratory investigation programs for evaluating the …
Alkali-aggregate reaction is a common cause of concrete cracking that results in significant damage to concrete structures worldwide. This Update explains the mechanisms of alkali-aggregate reaction, its effects on concrete and methods for preventing deterioration from this cause in new construction.
This reaction is known as ' alkali aggregate reactions' . 25. Alkali - Aggregate Reaction 25 • Alkali content (K2O and Na2O) or what is called soda equivalent. • This is calculated as the actual Na2O content plus 0.658 times the K2O content of the clinker. • It should be less than 0.6 percent by mass of cement.
Alkali-Aggregate Reaction • Chemical reactions between aggregate containing certain reactive constituents and alkalis (sodium and potassium salts) and hydroxyl ions released by the hydration of cement can have deleterious effects on concrete. •Granite, granite gneiss and schist, quartzite and sandstone, containing strained quartz are among ...
Alkali-aggregate reaction is the expansive reaction that takes place in PCC between alkali (contained in the cement paste) and elements within an aggregate. The most common is an alkali-silica reaction. This reaction, which occurs to …
Alkali-Aggregate reaction is a an umbrella term for two types of premature concrete deterioration: alkali-silica reaction (most common) and alkali-carbonate reaction (less common).
1. Introduction. Alkali-Aggregate Reaction (AAR), a chemical reaction between certain mineral phases from the aggregates and the alkali hydroxides from the concrete pore solution is one of the most harmful distress mechanisms affecting the durability of concrete infrastructure worldwide [1].Normally, AAR is divided in two categories: Alkali-Silica Reaction …
Alkali-aggregate reaction in concrete is the name given to a group of reactions leading to expansion caused by a chemical reaction between the alkalis contained in the cement paste and certain reactive forms of (usually silica containing) minerals in the aggregates, see Figure 4.
