This guide addresses the process of identifying both potentially alkali-silica reactive (ASR) and alkali-carbonatereactive (ACR) aggregates through standardized testing procedures and the selection of mitigation options to minimize the risk ofexpansion when ASR aggregates are us

Preventive measures for ACR aggregates are limited to avoidance of use.Because the potential for deleterious reactions depends not only on the concrete mixture

23、tes.4. Summary of Guide4.1 Alkali-aggregate reactions (AAR) occur between the alkali hydroxides in the pore solution of concrete and certaincomponents found in some aggregates. Two types of AAR are recognized depending on the nature of the reactive component:alkali-silica reaction (ASR) nvolves vari

24、ous types of reactive siliceous (SiO2 containing) minerals and alkali-carbonate reaction(ACR) involves certain types of rocks that contain dolomite CaMg(CO3)2. Both types of reaction can result in expansion andcracking of concrete elements when exposed to moisture, leading to a reduction in the serv

Preventive measures include avoiding use of the reactive aggregate, limiting the alkali loading of theconcrete, using supplementary cementitious materials, using lithium-based admixtures, or a combination of these strategies.5.

In this guide, the level of preven

31、tion required is a function of the reactivity of the aggregate, the nature of the exposureconditions (especially availability of moisture), the criticality of the structure, and the availability of alkali in the concrete.5.2 Risk EvaluationTo use this guide effectively, it is necessary to define the

32、 level of risk that is acceptable, as this willdetermine the type and complexity of testing (Note 1). The risk of deleterious expansion occurring as a result of a failure to detectdeleteriously reactive aggregates can be reduced by routine testing using petrography, or laboratory expansion tests, or

33、 both.NOTE 1The level of risk of alkali-silica reaction will depend upon the nature of the project (criticality of the structure and anticipated exposure). Thedetermination of the level of risk is generally associated with the responsible the responsibility of the individual in charge of the design,

For certain critical structures, such as those exposed to continuous moisture (for example,hydraulic dams or power plants), in wh

37、If an aggregate is identified as potentially deleteriously reactive as a result ofASR, and the structure size, class, and exposurecondition requires preventive measures, the aggregate may be accepted for use together with appropriate preventive measuresfollowing the prescriptive or performance metho

38、ds outlined in this guide.6. Procedure6.1 The flow chart in Fig. 1 shows the general sequence of testing and decisions that should be made when evaluating a sourceof aggregate for potential AAR. Prior documented satisfactory field performance of the aggregate in concrete is generallyconsidered to be

39、 sufficient for its acceptance in new concrete. However, reliance on prior field performance without following theguidance and recommended testing in 7.1 may not be sufficient to safeguard against damage as a result of AAR in newconstruction. This is due to the difficulties in assuring that the mate

40、rials and mixture proportions used in existing structures built10 to 20 years ago (the time frame needed to ensure that a deleterious reaction as a result of AAR has not occurred) are similarto those being proposed for use today. In most cases, it will be necessary to perform laboratory tests to det

41、ermine whether theaggregate is potentially deleteriously reactive for the specific concrete mixture to be used. There are several test methods availablefor evaluating potential AAR; petrographic examination, determination of chemical constituents, and mortar bar and concreteprism expansion tests are

42、 recommended in this guide. If the aggregate is deemed to be non-reactive, it can be accepted for use inconcrete with no further consideration of mitigation provided that the other physical properties of the aggregate render it suitablefor use (refer to Specification C33/C33M). If the aggregate is a

43、 quarried carbonate, additional tests are required to determinewhether the potential reaction is of the alkali-carbonate or alkali-silica type.6.2 Steps for selecting appropriate preventive measures for ASR follow either a performance-based (Section 8) orprescriptive-based (Section 9) approach. In t

44、he performance-based approach, a potential preventive measure is tested to determineif the measure provides a reduction in expansion below the limits outlined in this guide. Both approaches are intended to minimizethe potential for deleterious expansion in field concrete.7. Determining Aggregate Rea
