Abstract:

Alkali–silica reaction (ASR) is one of the most recognized chemical reactions that lead to the deterioration and premature failure of concrete. The severity of ASR is largely dependent on the expansive nature of the reaction product (ASR gel). As such, it is important to expound the developed knowledge on the formation, structure, composition, and swelling mechanism of ASR gel, to provide a greater understanding of ASR deterioration and to facilitate the development of more reliable prediction and mitigation methods. We present a summary of existing methods for assessing ASR and the state-of-the-art techniques that use neutron and X-ray scattering methods to characterize the nano- and microstructural properties of concrete and elucidate the potential transport dynamics of reactants that determine the mechanism and extent of ASR.
