Alkali-Silica Reaction: Minimising the Risk of Damage to Concrete. Guidance Notes and Model Specification Clauses
The Guidance Notes are based on the best information available at the present time. They give only the basic essential information on the circumstances under which damage caused by Alkali-Silica Reaction could occur and how to avoid or minimize such damage in new concrete construction. Further reading will be necessary for a greater understanding of the subject and a bibliography is given in Appendix 5 which also contains a list of other committees concerned with ASR. The effects of ASR in different structures range from extensive areas of cracks several millimeters wide which are still growing after fifteen years to slight map cracking showing little or no change after more than twenty years. The most serious cases have required major strengthening or replacement works, while the slight cases need only extra care in moisture protection and long-term monitoring as the reaction continues. These Guidance Notes are based on conditions, practices and materials known to have been used in the United Kingdom at the time of drafting. They will not necessarily apply in other countries.
