Meso-scale finite element modeling of Alkali-Silica-Reaction

Jean-François Molinari, Emil Gallyamov, Roozbeh Rezakhani

The Alkali-Silica Reaction (ASR) in concrete is a chemical reaction, which produces an expansive product, generally called “ASR gel”, and causes cracking and damage in concrete over time. Affecting numerous infrastructures all around the world, ASR has bee ...

The effect of sodium hydroxide on Al uptake by calcium silicate hydrates (C S H)

Christian Ludwig, Barbara Lothenbach, Sonya Barzgar, Mohamed Tarik, Alessio Di Giacomo

To reduce the CO2 emissions from cement production, Portland cement (PC) is partially replaced by supplementary cementitious materials (SCM). Reactions of SCM with PC during hydration leads to the formation of CSH with more silicon and aluminum than in PC, ...

Fly ash-based geopolymers are being developed as sustainable alternate binders for producing concrete. The consistent production of a stable geopolymeric binder suitable for use in structural applications from alkaline activation of low-calcium fly ash was ...

Alkali-silica reaction (ASR) is a concrete disease that leads to its degradation. ASR is the reaction between the amorphous silica (SiO2 ) and the alkali ions (Na + , K + ), leading to expansion of concrete in presence of Ca 2+ . In this study, it is assum ...

Experiments-based multi-scale modeling of the alkali-silica reaction in concrete

Jean-François Molinari, Emil Gallyamov, Mauro Corrado, Roozbeh Rezakhani

In this study, we investigate the mechanical behavior of large concrete structures affected by the alkali-silica reaction. Particularly, concrete dams are explored. Their permanent contact with water, and thus increased humidity, promotes the ASR. Seasonal ...

Investigation of the use of Limestone Calcined Clay Cement (LC3) applied to Thailand

Wilasinee Hanpongpun

The replacement of clinker with supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) is the most interesting solution to reduce the CO2 emissions from cement production. The abundant availability of clays, which have a sufficient amount of kaolinite content in Thai ...

Micro-chemo-mechanical features of ultra-high performance glass concrete (UHPGC)

William Wilson, Luca Sorelli

The development of Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) opened new research directions for enhancing the architectural design, sustainability and serviceability of concrete structures. However, the costs and resource intensiveness trigger the need for in ...

Impact of temperature on expansive behavior of concrete with a highly reactive andesite due to the alkali-silica reaction

Karen Scrivener, Cyrille Dunant

The influence of temperature on the expansive behavior and microstructural damage of concrete due to the alkali-silica reaction (ASR) is studied experimentally by applying a new testing protocol, the Alkali-Wrapped Concrete Prism Test (AW-CPT). Early-stage ...

Hydration reactions and stages of clinker composed mainly of stoichiometric ye'elimite

Karen Scrivener, Emmanuelle Boehm Courjault, Mohsen Ben Haha, Frank Bullerjahn

Ye'climitc (Ca4Al6O12SO4 or C(4)A(3)(S) over bar) is the main hydraulic mineral present in calcium sulfoaluminate cement (CSA). The hydration of ye'elimite is responsible for the early age cement properties. We identify 5 stages in the hydration of neat st ...
