Chemo-Mechanical Model for the Expansion of Concrete Due to Alkali Silica Reaction
A chemo-damage model is proposed to predict the expansion caused by the alkali silica reaction (ASR). The model covers the formation of the pre-expansion gel driven by alkali and the swelling of the gel driven by water. The swelling capacity of the ASR gel is quantified by the sodium to calcium rati...
