Effect of Admixtures Rich in Aluminium on Expansion due to Alkali-Silica Reaction

Article Preview

Abstract:

The effects of Al2O3 and Al(OH)3 on expansion due to alkali-silica reaction (ASR) were tested by using Accelerated Mortar Bar Test and through prolonging the curing age, and the ffect was compared with silicon fume and fly ash. The results show that ASR can be inhibited effectively by proper content of silicious admixtures within 14 days, but can not in long term, while it can be inhibited by proper content of Al2O3 and Al(OH)3 not only within 14 days but also in long term. The composite of silicious admixtures and aluminous admixtures has synergetic effect on inhibiting ASR, and there exists a value of Al2O3/SiO2 with which ASR is suppressed best. For the composite, ASR is suppressed mainly by silicious admixtures in early age and mainly by aluminous admixtures in long term.
