Evaluation of the Efficiency of Supplementary Cementitious Materials to Prevent Alkali-Silica Reaction in Concrete with Highly and Very Highly Reactive Aggregates

Creator:

Chopperla, Krishna Siva Teja

Abstract:

The most common test methods to evaluate alkali-silica reaction (ASR), the concrete prism test (CPT) and the accelerated mortar bar tests (AMBT), have limitations and are not entirely reliable in terms of predicting the performance of concrete with prevention measures under field conditions. In this study, the miniature concrete prism...
