Effects Of Aggregate Size On ASR Expansion In Concrete

Abstract
This research aims to study the impact of aggregates size the expansion on mortar bars which affected from Alkali Silica Reaction(ASR), by the comparison was conducted on samples of different types and size of aggregates according to ASTM C1260 and the proposed modified methods. The tests can be separated into 2parts, which are the studies of expansion mortar bar behavior, and the studies of expansion modified mortar bar behavior. The replacement of 30% of the stone by reactive aggregate powder (RAP)showthe reduction of ASR-expansion by up to 75%compared with control mortars.The reduction of the expansion due to RAPis discussed in terms of parameters affecting its efficiency and of the mechanisms responsible for thereduction.This research uses two types of sedimentary rock, Rhyolite and local Greywacke. Index Terms: Alkali-aggregate reaction, Particle size, Alkali content, Expansion.
