What is Alkali-Silica Reactions in Concrete about?

This document discusses alkali-silica reactions (ASR) in concrete, which can cause abnormal cracking and damage. ASR occurs when certain reactive forms of silica in aggregates react with alkalis in concrete pore solutions. This forms an expansive gel that can cause cracking as it absorbs moisture. Cracking patterns depend on restraints and can include random cracking or well-defined cracks along restraints like pavements. Evidence of ASR includes reaction rims on aggregates, microcracking, and presence of a
