Alkali-Silica Reaction (ASR)
Alkali-silica reaction is a chemical interaction between some
siliceous constituents of aggregates or particles of such
constituents in fine aggregate and hydroxyl ions.
alkali content + H2O→ alkaline solution
alkaline solution + reactive silica aggregate → silicate gel
CaO Ca2+
Na2O + H2O = 2Na+ + 2OH-
K2O 2K+
2NaOH + SiO2 + H2O = Na2SiO3• H2O
ASTM C1293
Water to total cementitious material ratio:
W/Cm=0.42~0.45
Alkalinity: Na2Oeq /Cement = 1.25%
Na2Oeq % = Na2O% + 0.658 x K2O%
Regular Test (1 year): Temp: 100.4 + 3.6OF
Relative Humidity: ≥ 95%
Accelerated Test ( 3 months): Temp: 140 + 3.6OF
Relative Humidity: ≥ 95%

Summary
1. All the C1293 specimens showed shrinkage, regardless of
moisture curing or not, in the range of 0.01~0.03 %.
(Prof. Mike Thomas confirms their tests showed comparable
shrinkage, especially with fly ash and slag specimens)
2. Durability tests have just started. The wet/dry and freeze-thaw
tests will dictate the timeline of the testing program.
3. Prof. Mike Thomas of U. of New Brunswick has received the
materials for C1293 parallel testing.
4. Data acquisition and analysis are on-going. The website will
be totally reconstructed shortly, and data will be posted.

  • 25. Summary 1. All the C1293 specimens showed shrinkage, regardless of moisture curing or not, in the range of 0.01~0.03 %. (Prof. Mike Thomas confirms their tests showed comparable shrinkage, especially with fly ash and slag specimens) 2. Durability tests have just started. The wet/dry and freeze-thaw tests will dictate the timeline of the testing program. 3. Prof. Mike Thomas of U. of New Brunswick has received the materials for C1293 parallel testing. 4. Data acquisition and analysis are on-going. The website will be totally reconstructed shortly, and data will be posted.
