Guide to the Evaluation and Management of Concrete Structures Affected by Alkali-Aggregate Reaction
Also Known As:
The CSA A864-00 (R2005) standard addresses a specific issue related to concrete deterioration. The standard focuses on providing guidance on the evaluation and management of concrete structures affected by alkali-aggregate reaction (AAR) in Canada. It has been written by experts in the field and aims to assist professionals involved in diagnosing and treating AAR in concrete structures.
The standard begins by introducing the signs and symptoms of concrete affected by AAR, helping readers understand how to identify this specific type of deterioration and differentiate it from other mechanisms of concrete deterioration. It then provides guidance on assessing the extent and severity of AAR in concrete, enabling professionals to determine the level of damage and the appropriate course of action.
In addition to evaluation, the standard also offers advice on the maintenance, treatment, and management of concrete structures affected by AAR. This guidance is crucial for ensuring the appropriate measures are taken to address the issue and prevent further deterioration. The standard aims to help professionals and structure owners understand and effectively manage the challenges posed by concrete structures affected by AAR.
