Alkali aggregate reactions (AAR) occurs when aggregate in concrete reacts with the alkali hydroxides in concrete producing a hygroscopic gel which, when moisture present, absorbs water and causes expansion and cracking over a period of many years. This alkali-aggregate reaction has two forms namely: alkali-silica reaction (ASR) and alkali-carbonate reaction (ACR). The former is of […]
