Abstract:
In a separate paper, the authors have presented a constitutive model for the alkali-aggregate reaction (AAR) in concrete. This follow-up paper first examines how this complex and coupled model can be used for the long-term (until reaction exhaustion) prediction of an AARaffected concrete structure. Then, through a series of parametric studies, sensitivity analyses are performed, and then basic modeling questions are addressed. Finally, the effect of AAR on the structural behavior of two dams and a reinforced concrete structure is presented.
