Predicting damage in aggregates due to the volume increase of the alkali-silica reaction products

Jean-François Molinari, Barbara Lothenbach, Emil Gallyamov

Volume increase between the reactants and the products of alkali silica reaction could reach up to 100%. Taking place inside the aggregates, ASR imposes internal pressure on the surrounding material. In the current paper, we study the possibility of crack ...
