Multiaxial Expansion-Stress Relationship for Alkali Silica Reaction-Affected Concrete
Many concrete structures around the world are experiencing expansion of concrete due to alkali-silica reaction (ASR). ASR expansion is reduced in the direction of compressive stress and is transferred to the unstressed directions. However, the relationship between ASR expansion and a multiaxial stress state in concrete, which is often the case in concrete structures, is inadequately understood. This paper presents a relationship between ASR expansion and the stress state of concrete based on experimentally determined triaxial expansions of unstressed and uniaxially, biaxially, and triaxially stressed concrete cube specimens. The expansion-stress relationship is not coupled with reaction kinetics and is isolated from the effect of creep and shrinkage by subtracting the deformations measured on non-reactive control specimens. The proposed relationship was implemented in a finite element program to predict the measured expansion values on concrete cube specimens. The predicted expansions are in reasonable agreement with the measured expansions.
