Alkali Aggregate Reaction
Alkali aggregate reaction (AAR), also known as alkali silica reaction (ASR), is a major form of concrete deterioration for older structures. AAR will eventually weaken the concrete, induce cracking, and can jeopardize the integrity of dams and nuclear structures to the point of having them decommissioned.
This chapter will solely address a theoretical model for AAR developed by the first author and one that proved to be popular enough to have been implemented in numerous finite element codes.
