General Information

Summary:
Alkali-aggregate reaction (AAR) is a concrete distress mechanism that has been studied for more than 70 years. This workshop provides an overview of the fundamentals of both types (ASR and ACR), summarizes the available methods of preventing or mitigating ASR-induced damage in newly constructed and existing concrete structures, discusses and recommends AAR test methods and specifications, and provides case studies of AAR-affected concrete structures, including rehabilitation strategies.

Learning Outcomes:
• Review the fundamentals of alkali-aggregate reaction (e.g. alkali-silica reaction, ASR, versus alkali-carbonate reaction, ACR)
• Summarize available methods of preventing or mitigating ASR-induced damage in newly-constructed and existing concrete structures.
• Discuss and recommend test methods and specifications related to AAR.
• Provide case studies of AAR-affected concrete structures, including rehabilitation strategies.

Final Exam:
No
