Alkali-Aggregate Reaction in Concrete: A World Review is unique in
providing authoritative and up to date expert information on the
causes and effects of Alkali-Aggregate Reaction (AAR) in concrete
structures worldwide. In 1992 a first edition entitled The
Alkali-Silica Reaction in Concrete, edited by Professor Narayan
Swamy, was published in a first attempt to cover this concrete
problem from a global perspective, but the coverage was incomplete.
This completely new edition offers a fully updated and more
universal coverage of the world situation concerning AAR and
includes a wealth of new evidence and research information that has
accumulated in the intervening years. Although there are various
textbooks offering readers sections that deal with AAR
deterioration and damage to concrete, no other single book brings
together the views of recognised international experts in the
field, and the wealth of scattered research information that is
available. It provides a 'state of the art' review and deals
authoritatively with the mechanisms of AAR, its diagnosis and how
to treat concrete affected by AAR. It is illustrated by numerous
actual examples from around the world, and comprises specialist
contributions provided by senior engineers and scientists from many
parts of the world. The book is divided into two distinct but
complementary parts. The first five chapters deal with the most
recent findings concerning the mechanisms involved in the reaction,
methods concerning its diagnosis, testing and evaluation, together
with an appraisal of current methods used in its avoidance and in
the remediation of affected concrete structures. The second part is
divided into eleven chapters covering each region of the world in
turn. These chapters have been written by experts with specialist
knowledge of AAR in the countries involved and include an
authoritative appraisal of the problem and its solution as it
affects concrete structures in the region. Such an authoritative
compilation of information on AAR has not been attempted previously
on this scale and this work is therefore an essential source for
practising and research civil engineers, consultant engineers and
materials scientists, as well as aggregate and cement producers,
designers and concrete suppliers, especially regarding projects
outside their own region.
