Description:
The International Conference on Alkali-Aggregate Reaction (ICAAR) in Concrete is held every 4 years, bringing together researchers, engineers, scientists, the industry and students from all over the world since 1974. AAR was discovered in the mid 1930’s by Thomas Stanton of the California Division of Highways and remains one of the leading causes of early deterioration in concrete. Topics such as: understanding the reaction mechanisms and the affecting factors; testing methods and preventative measures; diagnosis, evaluation and prognosis; monitoring and NDT; structural effects and modeling at all scales; and repair and remedial measures are presented and discussed. These topics have been extended to other types of deterioration such as delayed ettringite formation. Cases of deterioration and management are also shared to strengthen the ICAAR community and the community the participants serve. The organizing committee is composed of a diverse group of people with different personal and professional backgrounds, all committed to bringing ICAAR to Argentina. Working together, we remain dedicated to welcoming you to our country. We hope you can experience for yourself the wonders that make Argentina so unique: from its rich cultural heritage and the warmth of its people, to its vibrant urban life, breathtaking natural landscapes like Iguazu Falls, Patagonia, and the Andes, and its architectural legacy, including iconic structures affected by AAR deterioration.
