Effect of fly ash on the expansion of concrete due to alkali-silica reaction – Exposure site studies
چکیده انگلیسی

In this study 45 concrete blocks (915 × 915 × 815 mm or 350 mm cubes) containing alkali-silica reactive aggregates, and various levels of high-alkali cement and fly ash were placed on an outdoor exposure site in S.E. England for a period of up to 18 years to determine the efficacy of fly ash in controlling damaging alkali-silica reaction (ASR). The reactive aggregates used included a variety of flint sands and a crushed greywacke combined coarse and fine aggregate. Length-change measurements were conducted periodically throughout this period. All concrete blocks without fly ash showed excessive expansion and cracking within 5–10 years of production and in many cases the ultimate expansion exceeded 1.0% after 15–18 years. Fly ash used at replacement levels of 25% and 40% was effective in significantly reducing expansion and cracking with all three flint aggregates at all levels of alkali. Of the 27 blocks containing fly ash and flint sand only two blocks showed evidence of damage after 16–18 years. The expansion of these blocks was significantly lower than similar blocks with the same Portland cement content without fly ash. None of the blocks with greywacke aggregate and fly ash exhibited cracking (expansion data were not available for these blocks). Collectively the data confirm that fly ash, when used at levels of 25–40%, does not effectively contribute alkalis to the alkali-silica reaction.
