The kinetics related to unrestrained alkali-silica reaction (ASR) expansion is one of the most
important parameters for the coupled chemo-mechanical predictive models of concrete …

Moisture and temperature are critical for develo** alkali-silica reaction (ASR) in concrete.
However, the influence of these exposure conditions on ASR-induced deterioration …

This paper reviews numerical studies on the effect of expansion and damage due to alkali-
silica reaction (ASR) on the mechanical performance of concrete and reinforced concrete at …

The multi-level assessment, combining microscopic (ie, Damage Rating Index) and
mechanical (ie, Stiffness Damage Test) techniques, has been effectively used to appraise …

The influence of restraint on expansion, expansive pressure, and cracking patterns due to
delayed ettringite formation (DEF) in concrete was experimentally evaluated. Especially, the …

Abstract The Damage Rating Index (DRI), a semi-quantitative microscopic procedure, has
been successfully used to describe alkali-silica reaction (ASR) damage development of …

Modelling the effect of stress on the expansion of concrete subjected to ASR is of major
importance to understand the mechanisms of damaged structures. In this paper, an existing …

Abstract The Stiffness Damage Test (SDT), a mechanical and cyclic test procedure, has
been successfully used to appraise alkali-silica reaction (ASR) deterioration under …

Conventional visual inspection techniques are generally qualitative and therefore unable to
provide accurate information on the extend of alkali-silica reaction (ASR)-induced damage …

The computation of large reinforced concrete structures such as nuclear power plants, dams
and bridges requires realistic behaviour laws to be considered for concrete and …
