Summary
The
Alkali-Silica Reaction
(ASR) is a
Chemical Reaction
that occurs in concrete between the
Alkaline Pore Solution
and
Reactive Silica
found in
Certain aggregates
, leading to the
Formation of a gel
that expands upon
Absorbing water
and causes cracking and deterioration of the concrete. This reaction is a significant concern in the durability and
Longevity of concrete structures
, especially in environments with
High moisture levels
.
