19、gate reactivity(AAR) in many types of concrete construction. AAR mayinvolve siliceous aggregates (alkali-silica reactivity, ASR)or carbonate aggregates (alkali-carbonate reactivity, ACR),and failure to take precautions may result in progressivedeterioration, requiring costly repair and rehabilitatio

20、n ofconcrete structures to maintain their intended function.Extensive knowledge is available regarding the mechanismsof the reactions, the aggregate constituents that may reactdeleteriously, and precautions that can be taken to avoidresulting distress. However, deficiencies still exist in ourknowled

21、ge of both ASR and ACR. This is particularly truewith respect to the applicability of test methods to identifythe potential for reactivity, methods to repair affectedconcrete, and means to control the consequences of thereactions in existing structures.Intensive research has been conducted to develo

22、p thisneeded information. As a result, concrete structures can nowbe designed and built with a high degree of assurance thatexcessive expansion due to AAR will not occur and causeprogressive degradation of the concrete.This report provides information for those involved with thedesign and constructi

23、on of concrete, to make them aware ofthe factors involved in AAR and the means that are availableto control it.1.1Historical perspective1.1.1 Alkali-silica reactivityAlkali-silica reactivity(ASR) was first recognized in concrete pavement in Californiaby Stanton (1940, 1942) of the California State D

24、ivision ofHighways. Stantons early laboratory work demonstratedthat expansion and cracking resulted when certain combina-tions of high-alkali cement and aggregate were combined inmortar bars stored in containers at very high relativehumidity. Two important conclusions were drawn from thiswork: First

25、, expansions resulting from ASR in damp mortarbars were negligible when alkali levels in cement were lessthan 0.60 percent, expressed as equivalent sodium oxide(percent Na2Oe = percent Na2O + 0.658 percent K2O). Asecond conclusion was that the partial replacement of high-alkali cement with a suitabl

26、e pozzolanic material preventedexcessive expansions. Thus, foundations for the engineeringcontrol of the reaction were developed. This work also formedthe basis for ASTM C 227, the mortar-bar test procedure.Based on Stantons work, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation(Meissner, 1941) conducted investigatio

27、ns of abnormalcracking in concrete dams. Meissners findings generallycorroborated those of Stanton, and lent further credence tothe importance of cement alkali level, aggregate composition,and environmental requirements in the development ofexpansion due to ASR. One outcome of this work was thedevel

28、opment of the quick chemical test, ASTM C 289(Mielenz et al., 1948).In the 1940s, other agencies both in the U.S. and othercountries conducted further studies on ASR. These agenciesincluded the Army Corps of Engineers, the Bureau ofALKALI-AGGREGATE REACTIVITY 221.1R-3Public Roads, and the Portland C

29、ement Association in theU.S., the Australian Council for Scientific and IndustrialResearch (Alderman et al., 1947) and the Danish NationalCommittee for Alkali Aggregate Research. They furtheredthe understanding of relationships among cement composition,aggregate types, mixture proportions of mortar

30、andconcrete, and expansion.Other workers during this period and in the early 1950sconcentrated on clarifying mechanisms expansive and non-expansive reactions. At the Portland Cement Association,Hansen (1944) proposed that osmotic pressures generatedduring swelling of gel reaction products were respo

31、nsible forthe observed expansion. Powers and Steinour (1955)proposed a variant of this hypothesis, while later researchersattempted to refine these ideas of expansion mechanisms. Aswith other aspects of the reaction, gaps still exist, particularly inthe quantitative aspects of reactivity.Mather (199

32、3) reviewed the use of admixtures to preventexcessive expansion due to alkali-silica reaction. Stanton(1940, 1942) reported that 25 percent pumicite, a pozzolan,“seems to be effective” in reducing “the expansion to a negli-gible amount at early periods.” The proposal to use pozzolanto prevent excess

33、ive expansion due to ASR apparently wasfirst advanced by Hanna (1947). The 1963 report of ACICommittee 212 indicated that there had been “a fewinstances” where a mineral admixture was used to provideprotection with high-alkali cement and reactive aggregate. Inspite of this statement, Mather (1993) r

34、eported that he couldfind no documented evidence of such use. However, Rogers(1987) had written, “At the Lower Notch Dam on the Mont-real River, 20 percent fly ash replacement was used success-fully to prevent cracking of concrete containing argillite andgraywacke.” This appears to have been the fir

35、st documentedcase where a pozzolan was used with cement known to havehigh-alkali content and with aggregate known to be poten-tially deleteriously reactive. A similar case was reportedfrom Wales (Blackwell and Pettifer, 1992).Test methods currently in use to determine potential forexpansive reactivi

36、ty, particularly in the United States, deriveprimarily from work carried out in the 1940s. However,research efforts in several countries today indicate a promiseof newer, more reliable tests to identify potentially deleteri-ously reactive cement-aggregate combinations.1.1.2 Alkali-carbonate reactivi

37、tyAlkali-carbonate reac-tivity (ACR) was identified as causing a type of progressivedeterioration of concrete by Swenson (1957) of the NationalResearch Council of Canada. He found that an alkali-sensitivereaction had developed in concrete containing argillaceouscalcitic dolomite aggregate that appea

38、red to be different thanthe alkali-silica reaction. Subsequent work by Swenson(1957), Swenson and Gillott (1960), and Gillott (1963) inCanada, and by various other agencies in Canada and theUnited States, further elucidated factors that affected themagnitude of expansion resulting from the reaction.

39、 Note-worthy among researchers in the United States were Newlonand Sherwood (1962), Newlon et al. (1972a,b), and Hadley(1961, 1964). Two hypotheses on the mechanism of ACRwere developed, both of which still are cited.Because rock susceptible to this type of reaction is rela-tively rare, and is often

40、 unacceptable for use as concreteaggregate for other reasons, reported occurrences of delete-rious ACR in actual structures are relatively few. The onlyarea where it appears to have developed to any great extentis in southern Ontario, Canada, in the vicinities of Kingstonand Cornwall. Isolated occur

41、rences in concrete structureshave been found in the United States in Indiana, Kentucky,Tennessee, and Virginia. So-called “alkali-dolomite reactions”involving dolomitic limestones and dolostones have alsobeen recognized in China (Tang et al., 1996).1.2Scope of reportThis report is intended to provid

42、e information on ASR andACR. Accordingly, chapters in this report provide an overviewof the nature of both ASR and ACR reactions, the means ofavoiding the deleterious effects of each reaction, methods oftesting for potential expansion of cement-aggregate combina-tions, measures to prevent deleteriou

43、s reactions, and recom-mendations for evaluation and repair of existing structures.CHAPTER 2MANIFESTATIONS OF DISTRESS DUE TO ALKALI-SILICA REACTIVITY2.1IntroductionThe most evident manifestations of deleterious ASR in aconcrete structure are concrete cracking, displacement ofstructural members due

44、to internal expansion of the concrete,and popouts. However, these features should not be used asthe only indicators in the diagnosis of ASR in a concretestructure. Cracking in concrete is essentially the result of thepresence of excessive tensile stress within the concrete,which can be caused by ext

45、ernal forces such as load, or bydevelopment of a differential volume change within theconcrete. Early contraction, too large thermal gradientsduring curing of the concrete, corrosion of embedded reinforce-ment, freezing and thawing, and internal and external sulfateattack are some of the mechanisms

46、that also can lead to theformation of cracks in concrete.Diagnosing ASR-related cracking requires the additionalidentification of ASR reaction product in the concrete and,most importantly, requires positive indications that thisproduct has led to the generation of tensile stresses sufficientlylarge

47、that the tensile strength of the concrete was exceeded.2.2Cracking mechanismsLittle is usually known about the time necessary fordevelopment of cracks in ASR-affected concrete in thefield. This is partly due to the heterogeneous nature ofconcrete as a material, and to the fact that the reactionkinet

48、ics of ASR are practically unexplored. For example:1. Does the reaction product swell at the place it forms, orat a different place where it migrates after formation?2. How rapidly are expansive pressures generated from theswelling reaction product?3. How do these mechanisms produce cracks in the co

49、ncrete?However, some inferences can be made based onobserving ASR-affected concrete in the field and in thelaboratory. For example, in an unreinforced and unconfinedconcrete element, such as a concrete slab or beam, the largest221.1R-4 MANUAL OF CONCRETE PRACTICEdegree of deformation of the concrete will occur in thedirection of least restraint.Fig. 1 is a sketch of the surface and a cross section of aconcrete slab undergoing ASR. Swelling due to the uptake ofwater by alkali-silica reaction product generates tensile
