Abstract

The Alkali-Aggregate Reaction (AAR) is a group of physicochemical reactions which occurs in the concrete between the interstitial solution (highly alkaline) and some mineral phases in the aggregates. The damage induced by the AAR to the concrete could be very important. Many old structures are attacked or will be attacked by AAR. Remedial measures to repair or limit the problem exist but they are often only partially effective and very expensive. The aim of our research is to carry out an experimental procedure in order to evaluate the influence of advanced composite materials confinement on the expansion and the mechanical behaviour of the alkali-aggregate reactive concrete.

Résumé

L'alcali réaction est un ensemble de réactions physico-chimiques dans le béton qui peuvent se produire entre la solution interstitielle (fortement alcaline) et certaines phases minérales présentes dans les granulats. Les dommages causés au béton par l'alcali réaction peuvent être très importants. Beaucoup de structures sont attaquées ou le seront par l'alcali réaction. Les remèdes pour réparer ou diminuer l'alcali réaction existent mais ils sont souvent peu efficaces et très chers. Le but de notre travail de recherche est d'évaluer expérimentalement l'influence des matériaux composites sur l'expansion et le comportement mécanique du béton alcali-réactif.
