Methods for Evaluating and Treating ASR-Affected Structures: Results of Field Application and Demonstration Projects – Volume I: Summary of Findings and Recommendations

As part of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) alkali-silica reaction (ASR) Development and Deployment Program, nine field trials were conducted across the United States that evaluated mitigation measures applied to concrete structures and pavements already exhibiting ASR-induced distress. The findings from these trials served as the basis for the Volume I report and recommendations. In order to provide a technical underpinning for Volume I and to provide more detailed information on each of the trials (e.g., product types and application rates, treatment methods, monitoring program, etc.), the Volume II report was developed. This document presents the findings and recommendations from the field trials concerned with the treatment of ASR-affected structures.
