What Is Alkali Silica Reaction In Concrete? - Civil Engineering Explained

Описание: What Is Alkali Silica Reaction In Concrete? In this informative video, we will discuss a critical issue that can impact the longevity and safety of concrete structures: the alkali-silica reaction, commonly referred to as ASR. We will explain the chemical processes involved in ASR and how it can lead to significant structural damage over time. You’ll learn about the types of aggregates that are susceptible to this reaction and the conditions that can exacerbate the problem.

We will also cover the symptoms of ASR, which can take years to manifest, making early detection challenging. Understanding the implications of this reaction is essential for anyone involved in construction, from engineers to contractors.

Additionally, we will touch on methods for identifying ASR in existing concrete and discuss preventive measures that can be taken during the design and construction phases to mitigate the risks associated with this reaction.
