Effects of uniaxial stress on alkali-silica reaction induced expansion of concrete
ASR affected concrete in real structures is usually subject to loads which affect the macroscopic expansion of the material. An experimental study was undertaken using sensors embedded in reactive and non-reactive samples loaded on modified creep frames. Numerical analysis was used to link micro-structural damage under the load to expansion. We show that load influences the micro-crack propagation, which changes the shape of the expansion curve.
