What Does ASR Stand For?
ASR stands for Alkali Silica Reaction
ASR, or Alkali Silica Reaction, is a chemical reaction that occurs between alkalis in cement and reactive silica found in certain aggregates. This reaction can lead to the formation of expansive gel materials, which may compromise the structural integrity and durability of concrete over time. ASR is a significant concern in civil engineering and construction, necessitating mitigation strategies to ensure the longevity and safety of concrete structures.
