Title: RESEARCH PAYS OFF: ALKALI-SILICA REACTION: PREVENTING DAMAGE IN HYDRAULIC CEMENT CONCRETE
Accession Number: 00822789
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: During a nine-year period, the Virginia Department of Transportation (DOT) spent approximately $400,000 on alkali-silica reaction (ASR) research and related activities. The most significant benefit will be the greatly increased durability of the concrete pavements with regard to ASR, as observed on the Interstate 64 project described in this article. Projections from the rehabilitation costs for the Interstate 64 section show that Virginia DOT would spend $80 million to $100 million over a 30-year period with the old specification. Implementation of the new specification based on this research may reduce rehabilitation costs by 50 percent.
